No I didnt I just tried lowering by a drop each dose which would be 4 a day

I wish I would have tried it this way and so far it doesnt seem to be working but its just the first full day of a lower dose.

Hi all!

Quick, kind of odd question here...

I'm on VLCD16 here. I did have two semi-cheat days last weekend (I did not gain, just stalled).

Now, I have a 40 day bottle of drops. I do not want to go the whole 40 days. I was only intending on doing 21. Could I go for an extra couple days after my 21 w/ drops to make up for those days? Would that be effective at all?

Thanks!

yes you can go longer.

Be aware that the bottle of drops you have will likely go bad about 12 to 15 weeks after they were opened.

hello, I'd like to know if it's okay to do VERY light exercise.

I'm thinking of start 30~40 mins of walking everyday... at about 3.5mph speed.

is this okay?

Sorry, this is so un-me but, I really think this diet is driving me insane. I just want to quit today and go back to weight watchers tomorrow. I think the results this diet provides are amaaaaaaazing if you can fit it into your lifestyle but right now I need more flexibility. Is this safe? I am sure I will gain weight back but, any advice to mitigate this blow up would be appreciated. If I didn't have to travel and eat at such strange locals etc this would be great but right now its taking everything over! Any advice would be welcomed!! Thank you.

sky - definitely won't hurt.

ggman - It varies from person to person. I have been walking quite a bit, but have recently stopped to see if it as part of what caused me to stall.

yerex - It is very likely you'll have a difficult time keeping the weight you have lost off. If anything you should avoid starchy carbs and sugars for a while.

I think it should be okay

**ggman8988** · June 1st, 2012, 07:02 PM

I dont know why i have so many questions....

First of all, During P3, is it okay to have LITTLE bit of carbs? like noodles, rices, breads...etc

Seondly, after R1, I'm going to start R2 immediately, and I DO know that loading days are important... Is it okay if i eat ANYTHING i want...??? even carbs.. fats... could be some kind of ALL YOU CAN EAT buffet?

Thanks
