    Started 9/4 today is 9/8. I am reading about all these load up days. What is that? I thought you only have the 2 load up days before you start then you get to eat like a little bird for 30 days. When does phase 2 and phase 3 kick in and what is that for? I thought you started the HCG then took pills, shot or drops for 30 days and ate 500 calories during that time? Am I missing something that I should ahve known?

    I am doing quite well in my 3 days of 500 calories. I have lost so far 1.8 lbs. I have 50-70 lbs more to go. I want to be 175-185 by Christmas when I know the new year is around the corner.

    Please tell me what LOAD DAYS are and when you do them.

    Also I am reading about you cannot use lotion and must wear gloves when handling fat? Thats insane. I live in a SUPER DRY climate and without lotion I will start to crack and peel. I am using all natural lotions. Nothing like baby oil or vaseline. I am using less than I have before.

    As for excerise. I use the stairs, park farther away from the doors, use my treadmill more than 1 time per week and only smell the candy in the dish. To get my craving beast under control I take a huge sniff of what I am craving then smell something that makes me sick to my stomach. IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

    Phase 1 is considered a "cleansing phase" but most to all do not do this phase. We jump right into what is considered Phase 2. You "load" for at least 2 days while taking your hcg too. You want to load with high fats and/or good fats all while taking the hcg to help build it up into your system and to help when you drop to the 500 cal diet days or VLCD - very low calorie day. Once you complete your Phase 2 round of either 23 days or 40 days, you discontinue taking the hcg but you continue the vlcd for either an additional 48 hours if you are doing homeopathic drops or 72 hours if you are doing rx grade, either shots or sublingual. You then move into Phase 3 which is 21 days of not eating any added sugars or starchs. You want to set you weight point during this time to no more than 2lbs over or under your last dose weight. Once you complete Phase 3 you move into Phase 4 for an additional 21 days or longer and you start to add back sugars and starchs to your diet. If this is your only or last round, Phase 4 becomes the rest of your life, if you plan to do more rounds than once you finish Phase 4 you do your 2 days of loading again, while taking hcg and begin another 23 or 40 day round.
    Lotions such as baby oil and vaseline are okay to use it is lotions with creamers and heavy oils that you want to avoid as these are soaked into your cells and the hcg triggers to use those fats first before attacking your regular abnormal fats. You are always welcomed to continue to exercise if you have the energy and stamina to do this while on the vlcd. Not everyone is able to keep the energy up being on such low protein diet and it is not necessary to exercise as I am proof of that! I have lost 78 lbs in 3 rounds and I walked a few miles maybe 5 times during my rounds.

    Hi Michelle,
    It goes like this: Start injections (or drops whichever) For the first two days of hcg you "load" eat high fat to fill yourself to carry you through the first few days of the 500 calorie diet. On the third day you start the 500 calorie diet and continue from there for as long as round as your going, either 40 or shorter. You should NOT touch fat, oils etc when taking the hcg. Lotions are fine if they are oil free.

    Phase 3 starts 72 hours after your last injection, or 48 if your on drops I believe. This goes for three weeks. You can eat anything you like EXCEPT, no starch and no sugar. Careful with sweet fruits. After those three weeks you do three weeks of p4 where you slowly add in the starches and sugars slowly to see how you react.

    Hope that helps.

    michelem- look for the "pounds and inches" link on the L side of the page, and read through the protocol carefully- that will provide the best info. you really do have to nix regular lotion- you probably would have lost more by now without it. you can use baby oil, and many get away with the pink baby lotion. curel continuous comfort is another one that is pretty well tolerated. for your face, neutragena makes an oil-free moisturizer. you also can not use any liquid make-up unless it is totally oil free. powdered mineral make-up is fine. also make sure there is no oil in your other beauty products.

    here is the link to the "newcomer information" series - those threads should give you even more info. good luck!
