Drops coming, but Im confused!!

HealthyWifeForLife · 03-12-2012, 06:27 AM

I ordered from netrition. Will it come with instructions on dosing? I've read P and I, but still feel a little lost :/ I just am bot certain on how and when I take them?

The drops I got from Netrition - Intermountain - instructions are on the bottle. Take 10 drops 3X a day but be strict about only taking them 15 minutes before or after meals/drinks.

I take my first dose around 7am then eat/drink breakfast around about 730. 2nd dose after lunch between 1-2pm, 3rd dose after dinner usually by 7 or 8pm.

Ok .. so are you saying to be sure to take it at least 15 minutes before .. so I could take it an hour before or after if I wanted? Or that it does have to be taken within 15 minutes of eating?

MrsV- you can take them anytime, just don't drink or eat for 15 mins before or after taking them.

Yep, good advice. That's harder than it sounds!! I have been known to forget and grab my water bottle and take a drink too soon!!

Good luck!! It seems overwhelming and crazy in the beginning. Definitely load well, high fat works better than high carb. You'll love the scale, especially that first week. Weigh your food and keep track of everything!!

Thanks ladies :-) Well, today went well with it being my first vlcd ... I was amazed at how I wasn't starving all day!! But, now, this hour before dinner ... I'm famished! But, I'm sticking with it & I'll get through it

BaileysGirl · 03-15-2012, 02:50 PM

You did load, correct??? Did you eat til you couldn't eat anymore?!?!

Denise78 · 03-15-2012, 02:57 PM

You may want to play with your dosing times too. I have certain times of the day that I get hungry, so I dose then. I don't dose too close to mealtimes because... I'm going to be eating soon! I like to take my drops at 9 am, 3 pm, and 7 pm but everyone is different. Play around and find what times are good for you!

HealthyWifeForLife · 03-15-2012, 03:24 PM

Baileys- yes, I loaded! I was stuffed ... High fat, carbs, everything!

Denise- good thinking! I may play around with it a bit and see what works

I have a quick question - I just received a bottle of Intermountain drops, does it need to be refrigerated. It doesn't say anything in the instructions. Seeing that you take them three times a day. Does anyone know?

BaileysGirl · 03-29-2012, 10:30 AM

No refrigeration needed just be sure to keep away from electronic devices like cellphones/computers. I take these drops. Yes, 3 X a day. Good luck!

Ibis1960 · 03-29-2012, 12:06 PM

Thanks Natasha. I did HCG last year and went very well but he drops had to be refrigerted. I kept the weight off but wanted a jump start to lose a little more.
