Has anyone taken a break during P2 successfully?

Victrola · 08-03-2010, 09:14 PM

I'm going to have several events in a row the weekend of the 15th and am considering scheduling a break.

I don't necessarily want to, but there's a bunch of reasons why it may be a good idea.

So.

What's the best way to go about it?

Nobody?

Nobody's taken a two or three day break?

This is my first round, so I haven't. But I am interested to see if anyone has any feedback to share on this one.

I'm interested too but obviously have zero experience. Wish I could help.

I did not take an intentional break, but got sick and ended up off protocol for a few days.
I ate chicken noodle soup, drank cranberry juice etc.. It took over a week to lose what I gained.

I know that there are conditions to a scheduled/planned break as written out in P&I. Stop the hcg, stay vlcd for three days, then eat P3 for the break, then back on P2.

I actually took a 10 day break on my first round. I was feeling a bit burnt out and run down so I decided to break. I was far enough along that if I decided I was simply done for that round then I could have gone that route as well. I ate P3 style while on the break. It worked fine for me.
