So, I'm back at it again, and have been for three weeks now. I'm on my 22nd shot and was doing good until the scale stopped and is now slowly moving in the opposite direction. I've done so many rounds and at this point know that it can be a number of things that has contributed to this, but I really think it comes down to a few new supplements I just added to the mix a few days ago. Here are all of the factors: 1. I added a few new supplements -- all are good for skin, hair, ...
So, Week One of P2 came with several ups and downs. For the first time, in week one, I was not losing consistently. I had a big loss on VLCD1, but then no loss the next day... Finally a loss the next day, but then a gain the next. Week ones usually go much better than that for me, so it was a bit off-putting. Pre-load: 180 VLCD 1: 183.8 (After load) VLCD 2: 179.2 VLCD 3: 179.2 VLCD 4: 177.4 VLCD 5: 178.0 VLCD 6: 177.4 VLCD 7: 173.4 ...
Round 2 is getting off to a great start! P1 -- Loading: Like previous rounds, I had to FORCE myself to load, because of my lack of hunger. I'm so glad I didn't go grocery shopping to stock up on things to load on, because most of it would have gone to waste. I just ate a few avocados, a bunch of almonds, some cocoa crack, a Ribeye steak, cheesecake, tiramisu, and some creamy roasted garlic mashed potatoes. The Results: Pre-load: 180 VLCD ...
Round 2 is only a few days away, and I'm excited about it. I'm comfortable with where I am during this stabilization phase -- 3 lbs. under LIW even after adding sweet potatoes, air-popped popcorn, fruit juice, almonds, dairy, and tons of cocoa crack. Also, my appetite seems to have diminished, which makes me eager to get back to a VLCD. I'm shocked that I have no desire to gorge on things I might miss during the VLCD, but it's further validation that I've gotten over my addiction ...
So, I extended P3 since I had a couple of steak days during Week 3, and decided to pull back on fats a bit to see if I could stabilize. Surprisingly, instead of stabilizing, I've been steadily losing weight. Especially since I've incorporated digestive enzymes as apart of my daily regimen. By no means am I trying to lose weight, because doing whatever it takes to keep this weight off for the long haul is most important to me. But it does feel good to see my body losing weight on its ...
It wasn't until the 3rd week of P3 that I started having trouble stabilizing. Ended up doing 2 steak days, and it appeared that things that I've done well with since the first week of P3 were starting to turn on me! But after switching up a few things, I think I may have discovered what works best for me. For over a week, my weight continued to fluctuate over into the 2+ pound territory even though I was eating foods that were obviously approved in week 1 of P3. In an effort to improve ...
P3 has been an awesome, eye-opening experience! For the first time in my life, I am eating so much FAT, but not gaining any weight at all! It's unbelievable and has been one of the greatest lessons I've learned while on my HCG journey. I'm on week 2, Day 9 of P3, and -0.4 below my LIW. My initial plan was to increase foods I had been eating during P2, but changed my mind rather quickly. Since I started TOM right at the start of P3 and gained a lot of water weight, I decided to go ...
On my last injection day, I weighed 183.8, so for the next three weeks, my goal is to keep me weight between 181.8 and 185.8. Oddly enough, I woke up the next day to 182.0, but anticipate I'll end up gaining. I've never followed P3 correctly, but plan to do so this time. Planning to go grocery shopping today, so I can begin meal prepping for the week. My goal for the first week of P3 is to keep my diet close to P2, but gradually increase calories to 1500 or so, and introduce mostly ...
I finally made it to my last shot! Lost 27.2 lbs., which is more than I've lost on previous rounds. Was disappointed these past couple of weeks as the weight loss slowed down, but looking back, I can't be anything but grateful that I lost almost 30 lbs. in a couple of months. No other program could have given me that kind of result! I have a lot of pre-mixed HCG left, so taking the advice of Pearlymae, I'm going to freeze the rest of my HCG in pre-filled syringes and see how they ...
The Blood Type Diet is something i've been researching for a while, after I've seen people fight disease and lose weight and keep it off by just eliminating the foods they shouldn't eat based on their blood type. All different blood types have the ability to process different foods in different ways, and according to research, following the diet for one's blood type helps correct a lot of issues, avoid diseases, and also help with weight loss and keeping it off. It all made sense to me, and since ...
