justgitterdone April 10th, 2021, 12:28 PMAs a disclaimer I do the 2.0 protocol and the rating on scallops is well below the mark where they consider it acceptable. Not sure where it rates on
wilsonblack April 10th, 2021, 12:24 PMMagnesium is usually well tolerated. Some people do have stomach upset from it, so that's what that warning is about. I've personally not had any issues
Leez April 10th, 2021, 12:10 PMThanks for this post Leez, it has some useful info, I always take mine in the morning, but think I will change to nightime!
Dubbles April 10th, 2021, 12:01 PMWonderful 1.8 inch drop mrsstrong! Very nice! So when do you leave, are you all packed and ready food-wise? Enjoy your planned interruption. Trust
Dubbles April 10th, 2021, 11:58 AMWhat a great wife and mother you are--admire your batch cooking skills! And congratulations on completing week one! It is a paradox, one side you
Dubbles April 10th, 2021, 11:55 AMGood to know. Just checked and mine is magnesium oxide. I have been taking it at night after dinner, directions say to take with food.
lizard528 April 10th, 2021, 10:42 AMSuch a great way to handle this, MissM! Cream can be a great holdover and I love how you look beyond the moment to the next and know what you want to
mrsstrong April 10th, 2021, 09:30 AMForgot to mention that its best to take your whole dose all at once. I find the best time is at night. It gives it all night to do its thing, and
Leez April 10th, 2021, 09:00 AMGreat loss this week!!
Wow, that is great on your batch cooking! Planning is so helpful indeed! Good for you for not being tempted!
Yes P3 is awesome! And l'm with you mrsstrong, I find bacon -unless it says sugar cured bacon--works for me on P3, and doesn't cause a gain. I haven't

DivineMissM April 10th, 2021, 07:50 AMThe bottle still had it’s plastic wrap on it, never been opened! I think it’s still good. I felt like 250 was low, I’m going to increase to 2 capsules
lizard528 April 10th, 2021, 07:44 AMI totally agree with you. Dry supplements can still be effective years past the date. As long as they have been stored properly and haven't changed color
Leez April 10th, 2021, 07:17 AMFirst week in the books!!
Last Saturday was my first day back on HCG and I was stuffing my face with grilled cheese sandwiches and poppy seed cake!!
So I am taking magnesium regularly now. Overall I feel much much better. But haven’t notice a change in my BM. I don’t feel “constipated” per se, but

Cupcakesoaps April 9th, 2021, 11:56 PMI never go to Costco, but it sounds like I need this bacon : )
Cupcakesoaps April 9th, 2021, 11:52 PMOh, and if you like pork and cabbage, this is delicious. A favorite MissM and I happen to share coincidentally!

This is the BBQ sauce:
2 T Tomato puree
1/3 water
1 T Swerve
1/2 tsp of allspice
1/4 tsp of nutmeg
1/2 tsp
Hi MrsStrong,
Congrats...you're doing great! Would you mind sharing the brands for the P3 Rib rub and BBQ sauce? Enjoy your trip
So far 16.4 but one more drop day. This is an average of .6 so not too bad. I know I always want more but this is what it is! I think I will finish the
mrsstrong April 9th, 2021, 08:33 PMI use Kirkland too, but the sugar in other bacon has never bothered me in the past.
I love anything eggs, avocado, tuna salad with mayo.
Kirkland Low Sodium Bacon does not list sugar on the ingredient list. It is a staple of mine in P3/P4.
Other favorites - avocado, mayonnaise,
Ooh also - if you like spicy food. Jalepeno poppers! Stuff a jalepeno with cream cheese, wrap in bacon slice and back at 400° F for about 18 mins or until
Kc26 April 9th, 2021, 03:40 PMHave you tried Smithfield bacon? That’s what I use. No sugar. I find mine at Publix. I too love a good pot roast on P3. I also do a lot of lamb steaks
Kc26 April 9th, 2021, 03:34 PMI had no idea scallops weren't allowed in P2 during my first round last fall. I ate them regularly and had no discernible negative effects. Go figure.
DivineMissM April 9th, 2021, 03:29 PMWhat are some of your favorite things to eat in P3? Fav meals/ideas/recipes?
I bought the turkey burgers from Trader Joe's, I plan on eating
I decided to stop, I'm getting hungrier, and my job starting Monday and being physical, I'll prob forget my drops and be very hungry, etc. So for now,
Cupcakesoaps April 9th, 2021, 12:03 PMThat may have been a wrong choice of words. I meant what you are saying about the long game and not sweating a single day's jump right away
I had scallops once last P2 and gained as well. They are way too delicious! Besides, there is no better way of eating them than with bacon!
mrsstrong April 9th, 2021, 11:48 AMI think I am preferring shorter rounds. If I stabilize well I may just stick to shorter or with an interruption to hold me over a longer one.
slimbe, what happens with a round that is stopped before the minimum doses is that you don't get the metabolism reset from spending enough time resting
Leez April 9th, 2021, 09:25 AMIt will be here before you know it Deanna!
Dubbles April 9th, 2021, 09:10 AMYour trip sounds so exciting! How much have you lost in this round before interruption?
Dubbles April 9th, 2021, 09:08 AMP2 Day 27
Down .8 Yay!
One more drop day! So looking forward to my trip!
Hope everyone has a great day!
I agre with Leez, I take magnesium everyday--on or off hcg, as I have had problems "going" in the past! Helps me
Dubbles April 9th, 2021, 07:16 AMGood luck with your round, if it was in November that you used a few days of injections, I doubt that would have any effect on your success this round.
Dubbles April 9th, 2021, 07:12 AMI think that sounds like a good idea, or doing what Leez said, to make your own. I really distrust the commercial hand sanitizers, and prefer soap and
Dubbles April 9th, 2021, 07:09 AMGreat to hear from you Deanna! And happy to hear you aredoing so well with maintenance!. Seems you have put a plan in motion and are on track to see
Dubbles April 9th, 2021, 07:07 AMI know what you mean LinderLou, after a while I don't think many are that interested in hearing I've dropped another .8 lbs on my P2. But if I record
Dubbles April 9th, 2021, 07:04 AMAnything you rinse off right away is unlikely to cause you a problem in P2. Since the hand sanitizer is not rinsed off, you have to be aware of ingredients.
Leez April 9th, 2021, 06:56 AMMiss M, I think it is wonderful the way you have learned what your body needs and craves at certain times of the month. The hormone fluctuations women

LinderLou April 8th, 2021, 07:05 PMSo good to hear from you LinderLou! Sounds like you are doing great! Miss hearing from you, and several others that were on site when I first started
Dubbles April 8th, 2021, 05:52 PMGlad you are feeling better. You might want to just continue with the magnesium. It can ward of the ever so common constipation problem that can happen
