Jewlz - the awesome thing about this diet is that by the time you're in P4 you don't have the same cravings or at least the same intense cravings. It helps us to clear out all the junk and gives us the opportunity to start eating better.
Congrats, Ellie!! I, too , have lost 70# in two long rounds. I am almost at my goal wt of 120#. I am at 127.6 today. Good luck, and you will reach the big 200 soon! Norma
Wow Norma! That is awesome! I don't think you all realize how motivating it is to all of us who are still on the journey to hear these things! I'm going to be there someday too....you just wait and see!
Okay just want to let you know something I've been trying and I went down from 232 to 226 today.
If you can handle the tiny amount of caffeine, two things,
I did my second dose closer to bedtime. Those doing injections, could try and split theirs if they wanted. (Just an experiment if they wanted) Also, I mixed Yerba mate, green tea and last night added dandelion root tea. I read dandelion root tea alone can increase help to the liver by 240%. I imagine that a lot of what's happening, is happening at night, so I figured I would help out the liver. It's worked tremendously.
and when I've had a huge craving and made a mistake, it WILL never be HIGH CARB, that's a big mistake, (I've learned the hard way) I accidenly ate the whole container of cottage cheese, (you know how it is, you start and then look and it's all gone!) I mixed it with lemon stevia. It was good.~~~ Then looked and it had 16 grams of fat!!!!!!!!!!~~~Yikes!! but those kids of cheats only seem to put you back a day and then the loss after that goes right into place. I recommend, NEVER do any high carbs while your on hcg. Keep sugar down to a minimum, minimum, minimum. I just weighed at 226. Ellie~~ that's now 75 pounds down,
You dropped 6 pounds in one day??? Holy cow! Dandelion root would probably be good for those of us in P3 too, to help detox the liver from all the work it's been doing.
Grammy, It was actually two days. But it was DROP, DROP. Just like that.
Putting something good into the liver while the HCG is working makes so much sense to me. Help out all fat toxins going through it. Plus I am on those meds< I am sure my liver thanks me.
