Since Dr. Simeon explained his original protocol, a lot of people prefer to keep strictly to what he allowed and avoid what he didn't. Others go "rogue" and determine what works for them. I think the best advice is to stick to Dr. Simeon's plan until you are seeing an average loss of at least 1/2 pound a day (I have no idea what that is in your weight system--sorry). Then you can experiment with one fruit or vegetable at a time and see what affect it has. If it doesn't seem to adversely affect your losses, then you must be OK with that food.

When a person stalls for a few days, she needs to look at everything she's doing and eating to see if the reason can be located. From what I've read, it boils down to these things: 1) eating off protocol (eating foods not allowed, eating too much of allowed foods); 2) not eliminating (if your bowels aren't moving properly, the waste matter and its bulk/weight are still inside you. You may need to take steps to ensure you eliminate, as in digestive aids or non-addictive stimulants or enemas); 3) putting oils on your skin (through makeup, lotions, or doing greasy dishes without gloves); 4) having the wrong dosage of hcg (if you're dealing with hunger, your hcg dosage is off). You can research more about all of these issues on the forum.

I hope you can get the problem solved and enjoy the losing!

Thank you so much for your help many thanks
