MY HCG update
Advertisements [?]
Hi all,

I started the HCG protocol on the 31st of August. I am doing 2 doses per day sublingualy (cannot do the shots!!). I did 3 "load days" where you eat to capacity the highest fattening food you can find. They said to expect a gain, even a major one. Day 1 I lost a pound. Day 2 I gained it back. Day three I gained another pound so a net gain of 1 pound. I am now on Day 3 of the VLCD (very low calorie diet - i.e. major restrictions and 500 cals max a day). Day 1 of that I lost 2.4 pounds, day 2 I lost 1.3 pounds and I've yet to weigh in to see how today went.

I have been hungry, but not ravenous as I would have been without the hcg. This is totally doable.

I'll keep you posted. I have about 45-50 pounds I want to shed.

Here are some links:
