    Just wondering what the damage would be if I cheated on my birthday. My birthday is next monday, that would be day 18 for me. Would it ruin my whole 40 days or just that one day?

    The more I read the more I see that those that cheat have a harder time sticking to the protocol after that and of course their weight loss is slowed. It is only for 40 days, stay true the end results are well worth it, then you can go out and celebrate. While on the shots I do not go out to eat and I always eat my food before I go anywhere that will have food that way I'm full and am not tempted.

    I totally agree with Terry, like any diet you faulter for one day and it is so much harder to get back on. I definitely think it is a mental thing. You have to ask yourself is it worth it to cheat for one day and take several days to start losing again. How bad do you want the weight loss and what are you willing to do for it. I also make sure that I eat before I go anywhere so as to not be tempted. I also carry around my "free food" in my purse just in case I am out somewhere,I always carry sliced cucumbers for that "just in case" moment.

    What are your "free foods"? Cucumbers? I thought all veggies still needed to be weighed and portioned?

    My program is doctor monitored, and the "free foods" is a list of vegetables that I am able to have at when I feel the need to eat between meals.

    could you post your list of "free foods"?

    In my opinion it is not worth it to cheat - even a little. I have worked so hard to stay on the diet and by cheating just 1 time, I was set back 4 days. It is extremely depressing but I am back on track now and will finish without being tempted again.

    Ok, so my birthday is tomorrow. I've lost 14 lbs so far. I have about 18 more shots.

    My friends want to take me out on Sunday to celebrate and I will have a cheat meal. I KNOW it'll stall me for at least 3 days. I was very good this past weekend at my friend's birthday and didn't stray
    from the protocol. So I'm more than confident that I will stay on plan after 1 cheat.

    However, my question is...do I not take a shot on the day I plan to cheat? Or do I not take a shot for 2 days before then? Anyone??

    Why don't you go off the diet completely? Stop the shots...take you three days of VLCD...go into stage 3 before Sunday and then eat what is allowed. That way you can start the program over in about three weeks. I would rather do that than gain the 5-8 lbs I've seen people gain when they cheat. You won't just stall for three days you will gain a lot the next day. You might have to order more HCG but it might be the best option!

    Hmm. I plan on visiting my friend in Paris in late May. I don't want to show up being a weirdo on the diet. If I stop for 3 weeks that'll take me too far into May. If I stay on schedule then I'll have a couple weeks of maintenance under my belt and will have started reintroducing foods, so I can have a little carb here and there while I'm away.

    When I started I ate like a PIG all day for the 2 load days. I don't think I gained more than 2 lbs. By eating like that all day long, I can't imagine one meal making me gain several pounds. Does the HCG make you gain more than you normally would? I guess that's why I asked if I should stop the shots for like 2 days before having the birthday meal. Also, wouldn't I just stall for 3 days and doing an apple day would get me back on track?
