Yes psjack When I started adding foods back in, it was nice to eat again, but I slowly I started to feel crappy again, especially on p4 when I added more starchy things, and sugars back in...blah, maybe I'll stay on hcg forever!! I'm glad you're feeling better psjack (what does your screen name stand for?) doesn't it just feel so good, at least for now?? Some how the crappy feelings are all related to food choices, I know that, but also the addictions come back as well, have got to fight those!
ha - to funny to see this thread. I am on day 3 of P3 and I just had the thought today I really would like to go back and stay on HCG too. My skin has looked clear and I had hardly any gas at all. If I had it maybe 5 days out of 48 ~ it honestly didn't stink at all. (k sorry if that is too much information for ya'll) Today - it was back. And I hate it. My hubby also can't keep his hands off me. HCG is pretty great! Praise the Dr. who figured this protocol out. Seriously it brings us all great happiness!
A lot more people are sensitive to gluten than we realise - something like 5 in every 100. That may be why you feel better and don't have gas when on the protocol and not eating wheat. Bloating and gas are very common symptoms of gluten intolerance. I'm feeling great, with a lot more energy on the protocol and I'm already avoiding gluten, so I'm wondering if I'm sensitive to dairy - which I've always loved. Often we love/crave food that we are allergic to.
Psjack, I have some friends with lupus and when they got their hormones balanced with bioidentical, they went into full remission and it's never come back. Bonnie, you might get yours checked too. Colleen
Colleen, I tried to have mine checked a few years ago, went to my obgyn, she said since I'm still having normal monthly cycles, not to start messing with my hormones, and for now just to leave everything alone, so for now, just trying to balance myself the best I know how with food choices and to get my weight off, I think that will help me alot, I'm sure I'll try again in a few more years!
One thing I love about this, is my body temperature has been regulated. It is July and South Florida, well into the 90's and I am not nearly as hot as before! I couldnt stand it before! Now I am ok! My AC is at 85 (not nelow 80 like before) WHICH also means I will be saving $$$ in my electricity bill each month! And I STILL have to sleep with a small blanket because of the ceiling fan!
