Hi "not giving up"-
are you following the simeons protocol? by reading your post on your food intake- you are eating too much. I follow the protocol to a "T", and I eat 100g ( almost 4oz of lean meat), 6 thick pieces of asparagus ( not 2 cups), or 12 thin small pieces. 1 melba toast and then I eat an apple ( as big as I can get).

also, broccoli isn't on the protocol.

Maybe you're on a different protocol? Look up the simeon's protocol on this website- it may work better for you

I meant 2 cups total- 1c asparagus and 1 broccoli. I know that isn't on original protocol but my past 2 rounds I had it with no problems. I plan to do the exact Simeon's way the rest of the time. I have been keeping the protein at 3.5 oz each meal but this time I have had more shrimp as I had not been eating chicken/beef/pork for all of may and was trying to keep it up. I will go back to chicken to finish protocol.
Thanks for your response and words of wisdom

sorry I misread-
I've been told that if I eat seafood or fish- I should eat a bit more than the 100g.... idk-- you know what works for your body. Best of luck to you.. keep us posted

I would eat 2 cups of allowed veggies with lunch and dinner, and had really big loses. When I would only eat one cup of vegetables per meal, I would not lose anything or my loses weren't so good. Now a days HCG programs have been updated and give u much more options to eat or portions. Including a new alternative if u want to continue losing in P3 without the shots or the drops, and by following a menu of only foods you are allowed to eat in P3. So yea the portions get much bigger. You will stabilize in p4 and will not gain easily. I did this through a licensed nutritionist a year ago, who offers HCG in her establishment, and lost 20+ pounds. I did not gain the weight back, ate healthy and indulged freely with moderation through out the year. Well this year I decided to follow Dr. Simons protocol for my second round,(thinking I would have a greater loss) and instead I was not very successful with my loses. I only ended up losing 8 pounds the entire 23 round despite me following it to the T. I am almost positive it was because I was not eating enough. If I ever decide to do a third round I am going to go back to the same nutritionist I went to the first time and follow a more updated program of HCG. After all this is what ended up working for me, and that's what this is all about. Finding out what works for you best. I don't think you are eating too much, but then again only you know what stalls you and what doesn't. Good luck!

Agreed! and well said
