Thread: Hcg 2.0 411 Information

I have successfully done Simeons rounds in the past. I am on day 35 of 2.0. My weight has gone from 163 to 139 with no lengthy stalls in the round. 24lbs in 35 days!

So since its the Rogue Forum: I have been cooking with coconut oil and eating cocoa crack, about 2 TBSP per day. I have diet sodas, stevia, heavy cream and zero calorie Monsters, all with no ill effects. I eat riced cauliflower, spiraled zucchini and squash, sugar free salsa with nearly every meal, and an egg white omelet every morning. Oh yeah, I slather bath and body lotion on every day, no more dry skin during rounds for me.

This round has been markedly easier than my previous rounds, I am used to 11 plus day stalls on standard protocol. I plan to stay on this round until I hit 129.

I sincerely hope everyone is as successful at 2.0 as I have been. I definitely prefer it to standard protocol in every way!

Awesome results AZ Bonnie. Thank you for sharing. You are surely a testament to the effectiveness of this plan.

I LOVE the freedom that 2.0 provides. Tonight I'm sauteeing shrimp in coconut oil and serving it over "Zoodles"! Quite the difference from my dinners of plain fish and "dry sautéed" spinach on the original protocol--blergh.

I am VLCD2 today and read the 2.0 book last night. It makes more sense to me than the Simeons protocol as written. I lost about 20lbs on the Simeons protocol back in 2010, but I remember it not being the best time of my life. I am back on HCG as a last resort, as my weight and hormones have gone crazy. I cannot lose weight no matter what I do at this point! I came back to HCG from a low carb/ketogenic diet, so the protocol as written has a lot more carbs than I am used to eating. I'm hoping that this protocol will help sort things out. I did not lose yesterday, but I ate one apple. I was definitely hungry about an hour or so after eating it, so I know I should avoid fruit for the time being. Today I just ate my protein and veggies and seem to feel better so far, though I only ate about 400 calories today. I think I may try eating breakfast tomorrow morning. I think that will make my days more manageable. Has anyone done the 2.0 protocol and stabilized well in P3?

Yes, definitely. 2.0 sets you up to stabilize well. I'm experimenting now with mini-rounds, and that's another story, but when I did 2.0 as prescribed, I lost well and stabilized well.

Hey guys so right now I'm doing the 500 traditional hcg and am finding it very hard to go about my day so I've been thinking about switching over to 800z

Where would I start?

Hi all! I'm starting 2.0 tomorrow. I had a successful round on the regular protocol 2 years ago, but have struggled on past rounds to stick with such a low calorie count. Any tips on 2.0? Do you try to stay within a calorie and carb range? I have the book and Siesta Diet but wasn't sure who followed which on this thread? Or which shows best results. I'd love any tips or help! Thanks!!

Laura -- There is also a siesta beach thread, but this is the 2.0 thread. 2.0 is very specific on both calories and carbs. There is a calculation for determining your lean protein calories. You get 30 g carb or less. Total carbs, not net.

Linda -- The 800 calorie protocol is a different one than 2.0

Good luck, regardless which approach you choose!

Monti, we're twins! I started HCG at about 250. Lots of rounds later, I'm in the 160's. Have been in the 150's and hope to get there again.

No help with hhcg, though. I do injections.
