Question about HHCG dosage...

Just wondering if anyone has increased their dose of HHCG drops. I am currently taking 10 drops 3x a day. I am not hungry, except around the normal times I eat...so no problems there. Does more drops help fat loss, etc.? Or can there be too much? I am anxious to lose the "fat" quicker. I guess I kinda feel like it's going really slow now. Still happy though, it would sometimes take 3-4 days to drop .2, .3.,or .4 doing LC alone. Funny how we want more, more, more...LOL. I plan on being on this round 40 days...hoping to lose 10-15 more...but who knows.... .2, .4's aren't gonna get me there.

Here are my stats:

LD1 275.2
LD2 276.0 +.8
D3 275.0 -1
D4 269.6 -5.4
D5 266.6 -3
D6 264.8 -1.8
D7 264.4 -.4
D8 263.6 -.8
D9 263.0 -.6
D10 262.2 -.8
D11 262.2 0
D12 261.8 -.4
D13 261.6 -.2
D14 260.8 -.8

14.4 total

You are averaging over a 1 pound loss per day most women only lose an average of .5 pounds per day. I don't think increasing your drops will help you lose weight any faster it will most likely make you hungier.

Just from my brief experience - I started taking 13 drops 3x daily and still felt hungry. I increased the dosage to 15 drops 3x daily. I've lost 20lbs in 20 days. Not feeling hungry was important to me and the supplier suggested I increase the dosage. I don't know for a fact that it increase my weight loss.

As counterintuitive as it sounds, a lot of people cut back on their drops/pellets in order to help with hunger issues. I know in my last round I cut back from 3 pellets to 2 when I was having hunger issues and it helped almost immediately.

If you're not hungry with 10 drops, stay with the 10 drops until you no longer feel good/right. (You'll understand when it happens) At that point increase by a drop or 2. Increasing when you feel good won't help anything and may actually make you hungry, like the poster above mentioned.

Decreasing my drops to 8 or 9 helped me, rather than increasing.

Increasing your drops will not help with the weight loss. Your body will release the fat as it sees fit. Women usually average .5 a day... the key word is AVERAGE. Dr. S tells us that those that lose at a rate of 1 pound a day often hit a stall here or there... so be prepared for it. If this is your first round chances are you won't see a stall. Many lose between .5 & 1 pound a day AVERAGE during their first round. My first round average was .8, second round .6, third round .7 during the first 30 days... then I blew the last 20ish days and stayed basically the same the last of the round.. maybe lost a total of 5 pounds that last 20 days because I was way too rogue and did NOT have my head in the game at all.

Most folks change their dosages because of hunger. Since you are not hungry your dosage is perfect. So enjoy every ounce that falls off and keep that average in mind. Hcg REALLY spoils us with the fast losses at the beginning... if only we lost fast through each and every round... but it doesn't work that way. HOWEVER, with hcg... the fat loss is so VISIBLE that it keeps us motivated!
