2 short rounds or 1 long round?

Subject: 2 short rounds or 1 long round? Sat Aug 09 2008, 22:08

Okay so I am currently wondering what would be easier... I know that 45 is max and 21-23 is min. I was wondering if I should do a 45 day P2 Or 2 x 23 P2s

IF I opt for the 2 x 23 P2 I know I have to take a 6 week break. I know P3 is usually 3 wks (well I think it is) and then after the 3wk you start P4 does this mean that immediately after my 23 days + 3 more days VLCDs on the 27th day to start P3? Or what??

is it P3 x 3wks + P4 x 3wks THEN resume new P2???

AND also if say... for example the last injection day was the day before TOM and my weight at the time was for exaple 140 and I do the VLCD during TOM for 3 days and the weight either stays constant or goes UP or something how will I really know what weight I am to maintain as soon as I start P3 or the rest period???

Also... on P3 does your weight continue to go down or do you have to strive to maintain your last weigh in weight throughout the course of the 3wks? example is LWI was 140 do you have to try to keep it at 140 or what?

Soo confused on what to do. My birthday is on Sept 1st and I wont have much choice to let my family in on where they can take me for dinner... my current choice is Cilantro Live (a raw organic vegan food place) but I know some veggies have starches...I figure this would be the best alternative for eating out with family and don't know if it's best to take a day off the VLCD or just stop all together to start a new phase at some later time after. I only have 6 weeks worth of HCG so if it's best to wait in order to have better loses I would like to know... thanks everyone!

I don't know what to decide... do I have to do 6 weeks of no sugars no starches before the next round?

Hi Rm, Technically you would do 3 weeks of phase 3 and then gradually, add in some sugars and starches for 3 weeks and then start back to phase 2. The short phase 2 is technically for those who have lost all they need to. But, when I say technically, that is to say that is how Simmeons specified it to be done. There are as many variations of this as there are people doing it I think lol!

So phase 3 is and 4 the goal is to maintain the weight that you attained by the last day of injection. If you go up over 2 pounds of that weight you are to do a steak day. That is no food until dinner and then a steak and tomato (if desired) for dinner. Many people have found that if they simply have only protien that day but spread it out over the course of a day, they lose the excess that way. After the third week on phase 3 you should be pretty stabilized and you can gradually add a few starches and sugars back in but I caution you that should be gradual and not a gorge of breads and candy!! It should be adding things like peas and carrots and brown rice and sweet fruits and yogurts and that kind of thing back in to the diet. You then can go back to phase 2 for 40 days and then you are supposed to break for 4 weeks plus an additional 2 weeks. Each time you would add 2 more weeks to the break. Some people take far less time between rounds, some do longer phase 2. I think you have to judge for yourself what is best for your weight loss and for your maintenance phase.

Okay so technically I stay on the phase while my bday happens... this it would be horrible to break the VLCD for that one planned day? Or should I just not take the shots until after I have my bday celebration. I belive my bday starts right when TOM ends soooo hmm maybe I should order more HCG for another round just in case. I mean, I can always find someone to use it if I don't

You can take a planned break which means you would stop taking injections 72 hours before your "break" and then try to eat reasonably but still can enjoy eating foods not on the protocol. Once the event is over, you just start right back on to injections and vlcd. Some people don't even go off of injections, they just do a cheat but I've never done very well with that because I put on weight just having the melba or grissini's which are "allowed". I always have extra on-hand because I plan to do a round at least once a year after the holidays are over even once I am at my goal weight because we always tend to put on a few pounds during that period.
