How many days do I have to be off HCG before starting P3

latinadepuertorico · 01-16-2012, 08:40 AM

I know this question has been answered and asked but need some clarity once I have finished P2 how many days do I have to be off of HCG to begin P3?

If you are using homeopathic drops or pellets, you have to be off of it but still eating very low calorie for 2 days. If you are using injections, it's 3 days of VLC eating. Hope that helps.

Nichole is exactly right. One small clarification--most people count those "days" in hours instead. So 48 hours for homeopathic and 72 hours for rx. So if you take your last dose at noon on Tuesday (for example), you can have a P3 dinner on Thursday, if you take homeopathic. Make sense?

I was reading Dr. Simeons pounds and inches and I read the part about the three days but then I read further and it states about The reason for limiting a course to 40 injections is that by then some patients may begin to show signs of HCG immunity. Though this phenomenon is well known, we cannot as yet define the underlying mechanism. Maybe after a certain length of time the body learns to break down and eliminate HCG very rapidly, or possibly prolonged treatment leads to some sort of counter-regulation which annuls the diencephalic effect.

After 40 daily injections it takes about six weeks before this so called immunity is lost and HCG again becomes fully effective.

And your question is...?

So my question is....let's say I take my last dose on monday at noon. Is it the weight THAT morning that I stabilize at?

If so....then even if I took the last dose at bedtime on that same Monday....it would be that mornings weight ???

That is correct. Your last dose weight is your weight the morning of the last day you dose, regardless of when that last dose is. Any weight you lose in the next couple of days without dosing is "cushion" for P3. As much as everyone wants the lowest number possible as LDW, PLEASE believe me that a higher LDW is actually a GOOD thing. It's better at the beginning of P3 to have 3 or 4 pounds to go up before you have to do a correction day instead of just 2.

You get off the hcg for three days but continue to eat low calories. You then move into P3 for 3 weeks--no sugars, no starches. You THEN move into P4 for 3 weeks where you slowly add starches/suagrs back in to test our body's reactions. After your 6 week break from the hcg, you may do another round if you have more weight to lose. Make sense?
