If you are sore, inflammation from that is probably a big contributor to the gain.

I just love that name bunnies. Hallie, welcome. This is a great group.

One 99mg tab should be fine to take daily. If that keeps the fatigue at bay, then that's all you need.

Welcome Hallie and good luck on your round!

Tracy,
Very good advice, and I am absolutely sure we have those setpoints of weight. They are annoying, tho.

Slimkins April 21st, 2021, 02:42 PMThank you so much @Leez! I really appreciate your feedback. Can you expound a little on when it is good to do Keto? I feel like the P3 diet looks fairly
Slimkins April 21st, 2021, 02:34 PMLeez is right. I usually eat 2,000 or more calories in P3. I don’t agree with your doctor. Your menu looks good. Eat more if you’re still hungry.

Wow, lots of activity on here. That’s great!
JGD – P3 on the horizon! How exciting!
Yes, your mixture is concentrated. But the same dose in the 10ml mixture is carried in your mixture of 5ml. The difference is the amount that is portioned
Leez April 21st, 2021, 10:54 AMYes! You want to maintain your new weight while eating enough. P3 is your opportunity to establish your new metabolic rate that HCG has given you following

Of course you'll do whatever you decide, but I think Yvonne may have hit on something--if I were in your shoes, I might just wait and end my interruption

Safe travels
Good Morning Lovelies,
Pearly:So sorry again about your darling dog. They are like our babies.I have a great idea for you! I have done this
Don't despair! Women tend to lose in starts and stops on HCG. Stalls of 4-10 days are not unusual. What is happening is that as fat is consumed, the
Leez April 21st, 2021, 07:07 AMUsually just a couple doses are enough to make the difference. You will know if it helping fairly quickly. Switching to the pink salt may keep you balanced

JustGetterdone, we Are all jealous that you get to go to P3! Congratulations on a wonderful round. Yes, I have also
Once you have taken a dose out of the mixture, you can't add more water anyway, because it messes up the dosing math. It seems all suppliers instruct

2many, sorry about the stall. My losses had been real slow
You can do it! Don't know what others will say about veggies, but you are really early in this round, and on some protocols people can do cauliflower.
