    when I reach my goal weight on p2 which I am only 4 lbs away now...what foods can I eat when I increase my calories while on the hcg drops.
    Any help would be appreciated. Have about 4 lbs to go and that is it so 5-6 days is my guess
    I just cant seem to find the answers anywhere. I know you increase your calories and can add cheese and eggs but what else?

    No, you can't add cheese and eggs. You just increase the amt. of p2 foods you're eating until you hit the minimum days.

    Sorry, meant to say you can increase your calories to about 800.

    You can add cheese and eggs or whatever only after the three day (or two for drops?) period that the hcg has left your system.

    unfortunately he never specifies what you can eat, but here is the reference:

    As soon as their statistically normal weight is reached, these patients are put on 800-1000 calories for the rest of the treatment. The diet is arranged in such a way that the weight remains perfectly stationary and is thus continued for three days after the 23rd injection. Only then are the patients free to eat anything they please except sugar and starches for the next three weeks.

    Where's that at mgsdondance? I've been driving myself nuts trying to find it for her and can't!

    But if she starts eating eggs and cheese, she's going to gain because the hcg is still in her system, right?

    Pounds & Inches
    -----------------------------------
    The Duration of Treatment

    Patients who need to lose 15 pounds (7 kg.) or less require 26 days treatment with 23 daily injections. The extra three days are needed because all patients must continue the 500-Calorie diet for three days after the last injection. This is a very essential part of the treatment, because if they start eating normally as long as there is even a trace of HCG in their body they put on weight alarmingly at the end of the treatment. After three days when all the HCG has been eliminated this does not happen, because the blood is then no longer saturated with food and can thus accommodate an extra influx from the intestines without increasing its volume by retaining water.

    We never give a treatment lasting less than 26 days, even in patients needing to lose only 5 pounds. It seems that even in the mildest cases of obesity the diencephalon requires about three weeks rest from the maximal exertion to which it has been previously subjected in order to regain fully its normal fat-banking capacity. Clinically this expresses itself, in the fact that, when in these mild cases, treatment is stopped as soon as the weight is normal, which may be achieved in a week, it is much more easily regained than after a full course of 23 injections.

    As soon as such patients have lost all their abnormal superfluous fat, they at once begin to feel ravenously hungry in spite of continued injections. This is because HCG only puts abnormal fat into circulation and cannot, in the doses used, liberate normal fat deposits; indeed, it seems to prevent their consumption. As soon as their statistically normal weight is reached, *****these patients are put on 800-1000 Calories for the rest of the treatment.*****

    The diet is arranged in such a way that the weight remains perfectly stationary and is thus continued for three days after the 23rd injection. Only then are the patients free to eat anything they please except sugar and starches for the next three weeks

    i do think she should avoid fats (including cheese and eggs)- although she might be able to eat other lean meats and veggies.

    Yes I'm with you, Margie. Adding more fats while on hcg would likely make her gain not stabilize. But other meats like turkey and veggies like broccoli and green beans should be fine.
