Rosey,

I've been cycling since January. There are a ton of ways to cycle, I do mine the way you stated. You could do 2weeks on 2 weeks off, 3weeks on and1week off. You need to listen to your body and know what you can do. Some people silly can't do the cycling because of various reasons. I know for Robbi it was hard to get back on P2 for her. Everyone is different. For me doing the 2 on 1 off works.

I have averaged about one lb per day.

Jenni,
Thanks for the info! I just wasn't sure if I had to do 23 days before I could start to cycle.
The two weeks on, one week off seems like a good regiment.

Thanks again!

ok, jumping on this thread..hope it goes to the new forum too, as this is my first try at cycling. No, I didn't do the protocol and do P4, but knowing me and carbs, it scares me..so, here I go. I am planning to do 2 weeks of P2 and then 2 of P3..if I am losing good at the end of 2 weeks I may do another week before going into P3 again.

I am R2 P2 VLCD4 and I kind of went off plan and ate sweets/carbs over weekend for 2 loading days, then I read on some threads just to do P3 foods, but I was really craving some sweets and got it out of my system, soooooo, my weight went up of course, which I expected. Ended R1 P3 below my LDW and I was happy w/that. VLCD1 I was up to 209.4 and now I am at 201.8. My R1 P2 start weight was 229...can't wait to hit the 30 pound mark and be below 200 again!

I am being a bit rogue this round, as I ate veggie straws (like the chips) all throughout both rounds, just a handful here and there, and they never affected me, so I am still doing that in the mornings w/my coffee, instead of the melbas, and I have 2 T of ff milk in my coffee, and I'm mixing my veggies to see which ones I can tolerate. Yesterday I ate hamburger meat cooked in onions on a bed of lettuce and salsa on top and still lost overnight..and I can eat deli turkey I get at our town's grocery store that has 1g of sugar in it...ate that both rounds too and it didn't affect me. That's all I got for now! Happy losing everyone!

Glad this thread is still continuing. I have decided to cycle..started the beginning of the week. So far so go. This is my 2nd round. I stabilized P3 at LDW. The only issue I see with this round is the first 3 days I was starving...really really really hungry. Today that stopped. I will look for this thread on the other forum also. Good luck everyone and keep posting!!
