Dosing question

Subject: Dosing question Wed Sep 12 2007, 08:21

Hello everyone. I have a question about the 200 IU vs the 175 IU.

Maybe I've been overthinking things here (since I haven't started I've got nothing else to do yet :D ) but what I've been wondering is if you inject 200 IU's does that mean you are using up more useless fat cells than if you only inject 175?

If that is the case doesn't that mean have more calories coursing through your body with 200 vs 175? And if you have more calories running through your body won't that slow your weight loss down if you don't burn more calories daily?

Does this make sense to anyone? I guess I'm just trying to figure out which dose would work best for me and I keep going back and fourth. I keep thinking if I inject 200 i'll get rid of those nasty fat cells quicker, but if it means i'm "consuming" more calories I might not lose weight as quickly if I don't burn extra calories, but if I inject 175 it might take longer to get rid of the fat cells, but I should lose weight quicker without burning extra calories.

Would someone please tell me if I'm losing my mind.

Hi Kar! Love your ticker :D Purple is a favorite of mine :sunny:

The reason for tweeking the amount of hcg is just because of how it seems to work with each person. I has to do with how much over-all body size is involved. Kind of like figuring the dose of Tylenol for children, based on weight/size and not age. If you get too much it doesn't work well, you might be too hungry and not lose much weight. If you get too little, you might have the same symptoms. I don't know the exact internal processes and can only go by what everyone is experiencing and reports on the forum. So, which ever dosage you choose, just pay attention to your stats and how you feel. Always be prepared to tweek the dosage up or down if things aren't going well, as well as your calorie intake. That is what we all are doing. For me, I take 200 IUs. I have to be careful not to go over 500 calories, but can do less and be fine. Hubby also takes 200 IUs, but he can eat a bit more with no problems. Some on the forum do 250 IUs (usually from GHI) and do GREAT. Some start at 250 and come down to 200 or lower. It's all individual.

Hi Kar!

You're not losing your mind, but you've definately got me thinking.... I'm going to go back and reread the sections re: dosing and see if I can come back to you with a more meaningful response... FYI, I'm injection 125 IM. Yesterday, I did a smidge more, because of an odd, grumbly, butterfly type sensation in my belly. Could be psychological. Went back down to 125 this morning and have to say feel pretty good. Started spot cleaning the carpet before work before I knew what was happening....

But thinking about your question, and this is just me personally, I think I would prefer to lose the weight first. So, I'm thinking, for me, staying at the lower dose is what I'll plan on..... for now winking

I take no days off. I don't really have periods any more now either, so I just plow straight through the 40 days.

I understand your frustration. I am not the best one at waiting either, it drives me crazy rolling

I need to order the injections and want to know if anyone has any advise as to the best and fastest way to get it.

Hi kar...

I started out at the recommende 250 iu's. Got headaches days 3-5, so dropped to 225. THEN after a couple of weeks, the weightloss seemed stalled a bit.. only losing .5 or less daily... so.. I dropped to 200 and wa la... now averaging right around a pound daily for the last few days. (Wish I'd done it sooner!) I may even go lower.

I AM noticing FOOD again, however. Not hungry.. but just NOTICING... I think it's just boredom setting in and not the lower dose!:):)
