Since we take our hcg in the morning and evening, which days weight do we use as our LIW? Is it stll the morning of our last day of hcg, or the following morning (which would be the first day without the hcg)?
So if I took my last sublingual dose on a Monday morning, I could have my first phase 3 breakfast on Thursday morning. Is that correct? Wonder if I took last dose on Monday evening could I then have phase 3 dinner on Thursday evening?
Right. But I would be afraid to have a phase 3 dinner on Thursday evening in case it counted against me when I went to bed. Probably not but it would scare me. LOL So I'm going with a morning last dose. Colleen
deb- if you do 72 hrs instead of 3 full days, i'd be really careful with your fats the first 24 hrs. Dr. S. says that if there is even a trace of hcg left in your system, that you will gain quickly.
I've never had an issue though. I always add fats back in after 72 hours like Dr S says. Olive oil, eggs, avocado, cheese.I figure that's pretty precise that he breaks it down to hours. He mentions 3 days in one place and in the actual protocol listing says 72 hours. But some go a total of 4 days after the last dose to be safe. But the half life of hcg is 1-2 days. So I figure 3 is plenty. Colleen
deb, did you get an answer to your original question about which day's weight to count? I have the same question. I'm taking my last dose tonight. Should I count this morning's weight as my benchmark, or tomorrow morning's?
gogo--It is my understanding that if you took your last dose this morning , than it is your weight this morning that would be your LIW.
Sophie--If you take your last dose at night I don't know which day is your LIW. Could you take one more dose in the morning and then count that morning as LIW.
read grammy and mgs comments, as they are more experienced that me.
