Cupcake- all I want to say is find a physician or a physician adjacent person who listens to you. Not someone who tells you what to do but will listen
PearlyMae March 5th, 2021, 11:52 AMDubbles, check out chocolatecoveredkatie on the web for her dessert recipes. There's a chocolate cake that's so good you won't even know it's low carb.
DivineMissM March 5th, 2021, 11:21 AMThanks so much for your suggestion Yvonne, you’re the best!
Dubbles March 5th, 2021, 11:08 AMCertainly happy to pray for your friend. This is such devastating news for anyone. Will be praying for your friend , for her family and friends.
Dubbles March 5th, 2021, 11:06 AMThanks Leez, I love that graphic! Good luck
betterdays, LinderLou, all HCGers! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Dear all...
May i please digress from hcg and the scale and weight loss fir a short while
Can I please call on prayers and or whatever
That is really the best course.
From your report, you haven't quite gotten to a stall yet. Its 4 days in a row with no loss. As you found
Happy Friday!
Well, the last few days I’ve been in a 1.5 stall/gain/loss whatever it’s called. Four days ago i was 169.6, then
Dubbles... thanks
I am not really doing the complicated Keto... remember... life going forward is a new normal... i am not planning a full on life
Good morning, lovelies.
LinderLou, you have inspired me to re-think my general disinterest in having a DH around! lol
Pearly,

So I believe you are also known as Jeff... pleased to meet you... as you may have picked up by now...i am Yvonne
About that red
Dubbles
There are some clever things you can do with desserts replacing sugars snd starches i suggest you find yourself a nice keto recipe book...
Thanks WB! May have to try later in my P3.
Dubbles March 5th, 2021, 08:29 AMEnjoyed reading your postings, and back and forths with Miss M and WB. Not much to add here, I have read before that Keto can be difficult for a lot

wilsonblack March 5th, 2021, 08:21 AMThat sounds like a decent plan to me, Yvonne. I do think sugars are my enemy. And diet colas. Have to ditch them for good. I really didn't find P3
Dubbles March 5th, 2021, 08:04 AMThanks Leez, I was actually wondering about that. I'll go with your advice, and will concentrate on walking my dogs. I have been doing a few gentle
Dubbles March 5th, 2021, 08:00 AMReally enjoyed your post this morning WB, so interesting about your forum name. Will only call you Jeff if you are ok with that. We could tell you really
Dubbles March 5th, 2021, 07:53 AMIt is not a good idea to start an exercise program in P3. The reason is that the inflammation from working unused muscles causes water retention and
Leez March 5th, 2021, 07:37 AMYvonne, I agree wtih Miss M. You are 100% correct, and should be mantra for all HCGers! Like you, i don't recall doing P3, especially p4 in any organized
Dubbles March 5th, 2021, 07:36 AMAbsolutely, Leez--so after PI, took me 2 days to lose load weight, On third weigh-in, Tuesday, I went below the LAST DOSE WEIGHT from before PI. Everyday
Dubbles March 5th, 2021, 07:28 AMI absolutely love wine. I mainly drink dry red wine only. It isn't too bad for you in moderation but is way better than sweeter wines. I don't plan
wilsonblack March 5th, 2021, 07:02 AM"If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans"
If you are in this forum you have most likely followed or read my journeys
Will do, but like you not going to experiment much in P3.... I have two weeks before cycling back to P2, and I still have some of those Chocolate Cheesecake
FlirtyFlo March 5th, 2021, 06:40 AMGreat posts, guys.
Flirty, I totally hear you on that. I am a little different in my approach. I am not going to commit to forcing myself
Thanks WilsonBlack... I think that would be very helpful. Like you I only know the basics of keto But how I navigate it is mainly using the knowledge
FlirtyFlo March 5th, 2021, 06:20 AMGood morning everybody. Sounds like P3 is in full swing. It is a good place to be.
MissM, sounds like you are in a good place and not
I think you've got it right, Yvonne--or at least we're of the same mind when it comes to these things. The first time I did keto I did it by the book

(and I needed to hear you say this again this morning, so thank you, Yvonne!)
Day one of my P3 was glorious. I was very hungry. I cooked and ate wonderful, healthy things, with pleasure. Maybe a little too much, but only allowable
DivineMissM March 5th, 2021, 05:13 AMyes... I am happy about that, But I think it is also having been consistent throughout P2 and P3 and P4 for eating 3 meals and 2-3 snaks a day, I think

Well done on a great round!
Its great to see the mindfulness in this crowd... during my 2014/2015 stint, there were
I think we're all discovering what does and doesn't work for us through this process and, for some of us, its many rounds. HCG is brilliant for so many

That's normal when your dose is right. You also continue to lose on skip days, so its like a free extra day.

Different from any others days.
Thanks Sweetie, I’m doing pretty good. Have to admit going back to p2 after only 2week PI has been a little tougher than I expected. But we

Congrats on a great round, getting right back to where you wanted to be, and knowing when
Whew! Only four days into March and four pages to read! That's the way it should be! Good for all of you for posting and keeping yourselves accountable
PearlyMae March 4th, 2021, 12:28 PMThe carbs in onions are not something to be concerned about in P2 (unless you are doing an alternative version of the protocol that makes that an issue).
Leez March 4th, 2021, 11:58 AMyes cooked onions are fine. Just understand that they are higher in carbs.
wilsonblack March 4th, 2021, 11:18 AMThank you both! I LOVE cooked onions, so will definitely incorporate them this time around!
Kc26 March 4th, 2021, 11:14 AMI am so with you on the 2 lb over LIW , I'm going to make that a cornerstone of phases 3 and 4! And the pregnancy comment came from Miss M's still
Dubbles March 4th, 2021, 11:05 AMYes you can prepare them any way you like: raw, boiled, air-fryed, grilled, water/broth sauteed are all fine.
Leez March 4th, 2021, 11:00 AMLinderLou, love the use of DH! hA!
Dubbles March 4th, 2021, 10:58 AMI think I read where Leez said to someone to eat to hunger cues, not worry so much about calories, for a few days--then maybe go back to make sure calories
Dubbles March 4th, 2021, 10:55 AMKC, I cooked them for my veggie all the time. I'd slice them thin and cook over protein on GF grill. Love cooked onions.
