Hi All! I was doing the 23 day plan, then decided since I had drops left, to go ahead and do the 40(or is it 43 days, w/hcg) after 2 kinda hard days on P3, it seemed smarter and easier to go back to phase 2, and hopefully lose all my weight in one rd. So far I'm down 18.4 lbs., day 29. That's my question though: Do I do 40 days on vlcd w/drops, then 3 days w/out, or do I do 43 days vlcd w/drops, then 3 w/out? I may have to move my daughter's b'day dinner ahead a week if it's the latter. Thanks for any and all help! Julie
Once you pass the minimum 23 +3 days, you can basically stop anytime and do the 3 days vlc without hcg (two days if you are hhcg). You don't have to stick it out to 40 +3, that was just the max that Dr. S. said to use as a round - 40 shots. Since people often skip a day a week on a long round, they may go up to 49 days on vlc with just 40 shots.
The 40 days is what Dr. S. said was the maximum. That clear, others do add days. In fact, there is a thread on here where a guy is promoting about half a year as the maximum. So, following Dr. S, you are correct to do 40 days of drops and 3 days vlc without (it seems more like two days because you count from your last dose) and then P3.
Hello, I have had good results as far as losing pounds on the homeopathic sub-lingual HCG but my body feels weak, my muscles ache at night and I feel like I am losing muscle mass. I am R1P2VLCD10 and I have lost 14#'s. I just ordered real HCG premixed drops from BestHCGstore.com after reading information on another discussion site in this forum. I am just wondering if I should stop the HHCG drops and maybe go up to a 1200 cal. diet to help re energize my body or just continue on these drops that I think are fake anyway. I have already tried upping the drops from 10 3x per day to 16 3x per day and It just feels like I am starving myself and anyone will lose weight doing that. What should I do from now until I receive the HCG drops?
I tried the homeopathic drops first. They didn't do the trick for me. I then ordered the injections and did the 23 day protocol with the 21 day P3. I lost 12 pounds, but more inches than pounds. I have kept it off too with not that strict of eating habits. I am fixing to go back on the injections for 23 more days. I hope it's not harder to do it the second time around, once you know what you're in for. LOL. I wasn't hungry after the first day & it was easy to stay on----I just got sick of the food. This time I'm going to try some recipes to see if that makes any difference. I did stay on it faithfully, though, and didn't cheat even one time, which I was very proud of, since I usually don't have any will power.
