    SO... my BFF is going to quit the drops a week early and force herself into phase 3... WHY? Because she's going to the casino for her husband's birthday. She doesn't want to have to keep the drops in a cooler & change the ice, etc., and of course they have a big free buffet.... she said she'd rather NOT be on the drops & say "screw it" and lose control eating all the bad stuff, so she thinks it's safer this way.... hmmm.... there is a reason why I said NO to going to the casino with them lol.

    Question is -- I'm personally thinking quitting the drops & moving into phase 3 a week early will have an adverse effect on her weight. She wanted me to ask if anyone else has ever done this & if so -what were the results. So I'm asking!

    Thanks in advance!!!

    amy- it depends on how long a round you are doing. Dr. S. says that 23 days is the minimum length of round, as it takes this long of a rest so your hypothalamus can then re-set in P3. stop short of 23 days, and you risk not stabilizing, and gaining the weight back. not worth it!

    but if you planned a 40-day round, and want to stop at 33 days, that's fine.

    if she's done AT LEAST 23 days by the time she stops, she can take a break. stop hcg, and continue vlcd for 3 days. then increase calories and eat P3 foods. if your break is no longer than 2 weeks, you can then resume hcg and the vlcd's without loading again. you can do a total of 40 days, counting all the days before and after the break. but you can't do a break if you have not done at least 23 days first.

    I am 1/2 way through week 4 of the P3 can i start the 2nd round? I can get the 23 days in with a week on P2 just prior to my 35th wedding anniversary and would like to go out for dinner. Will this hurt?

    What if you have HCG that is not working I am starving and miserable I cant mentally take it anymore I am on day 13 of p2 lcd I think i got bad drops because when I did it the first time around I was not hungry and I was very motivated although I am 135 lbs now maybe I am at the weight I should be at I dont know. But I want to stop I am quitting and going to hit lcd for 3 days without the hcg and just eat super healthy and exercise and pray not to gain the 5 lbs I lost I am just miserable. I should have never stopped not worth it at all...plus I am in school all morning and cant focus my stomach growls and I feel sick to my stomach
