sweet thanks!!!!

I'm so eager to get going! I've been so inspired by grizzy and deb (sorry I don't know the rest of you yet!)

as for the drops....I put them under my tongue..but how do you keep from actually just swallowing them?

Actually, some programs now recommend that you don't take the hcg while loading because people were having problems eating so much because they were too full. I would say since she already loaded for two days to just start the VLCDs and not load again. I use the spray hhcg and the directions are to not use hcg while loading so you can load better. The hcg is in your system immediately so there should not be any hunger.

Interesting. Personally, I prefer to follow Dr. Simeons' protocol rather than the guidelines presented by the makers of a homeopathic version of hcg. I had no trouble loading using Dr. S's method.

I'm beginning to think about doing P3 and hoping folks on this board can give me some tips. Love, love, love reading everyone's successes and positive comments. thanks in advance.

Did you get an answer to your question? Pounds and Inches simply says to eat whatever you wish, except no sugars or starches. It's a strict low-carb diet. Eat breakfast daily. Many double their protein portions at lunch and dinner. Some eat high fats and normal amounts of protein (that's what I intend to do). I just started P3 today, and I'm taking oil-based suppliments too -- omega 3 salmon oil, flaxseed oil, omega 3-6-9 oil, and the oil-based vitamins A, D, & E. I wasn't taking any of these during P2. Hope that helps.

The amount of liquid under the tongue is so small... just don't eat/drink/chew gum for 5 minutes and it will absorb vs. being ingested.

The March thread is now open. Here is a link to help you find your way there!
