Thread: Should I Continue to Workout While on This Diet?

Heavy workouts are not advised, anything you were doing before VLCD should be OK. You do not need to do anything more strenuous that a long walk to lose weight on this protocol...although some people do work out. I lost 25 # R1P2, am in p4 now, no trouble stabilizing... just walked everyday, nothing else extra was added to my routine. I would say if you want to work out, see how you feel afterward and then decide.

I went to a clinic on my last round and the dr. there told me to go ahead and exercise, especially since I was already doing it before I started the HCG. He told me that I would lose more inches that way. He did say to decrease the intensity.
I did lose more inches per pound this time, but I did not lose as much weight as I did in previous rounds. There may have been other factors involved in that though. I did the shots on my first two rounds and drops on my last round. I also had started using hormones on the last round that I was not taking on previous rounds. Who knows exactly why the body reacts the way it does. I do think it was good advise to exercise if your body is used to it, otherwise it is hard to start over when you are done with P2.
