Congrats on the upcoming wedding and well, turning 50! A lot going on!

You are talking about Weight Loss Apocalypse by Robin Woodall

Loading is a very important part of the protocol. It is highly suggested you load on high fat foods such as sour cream, avocado, fatty meats, nuts, even ice cream.

When do you start?

Hi Kim,

Weight Loss Apocalypse is by Robin Phipps Woodall. She also has a BUNCH of videos on YouTube.

In order to get your round going, you DO need to load. Loading with fat is important. Loading with carbs....not really good. In my first round, I loaded with lots of different things...but I definitely ate more carbs (sugar is my vice) and the first week I experienced some headaches....

Later rounds, I ate more avocado, nuts, Ribeye Steaks, BBQ Ribs, chicken wings, cocoa crack....I found by eating the fat, I didn't gain as much. AND I didn't have the headaches...like I did in the first round.

The other thing I did (after the 1st round), was made a list of what I wanted to have on my next load. If there was something "calling my name" during the round, I added it to the list...and then made sure to have it on the next load.
And for me, it worked better.

Hi Kim, nice to meet you I'd love to join with you in working the WLA book method of doing HCG. I have a thread, Call to Freedom, and only a couple of ladies visit but I want a permanent chance I've been bouncing up and down for over a year now with 20 lbs. Let me know if you want to team up.

Yes you load based on which type of hcg you're using. injections are 3 days and hhcg sublingual it's 2 days.

I think Weight Loss Apocalypse is a great book for anyone doing HCG. The brilliance of it is that it uses the HCG protocol, which is very effective on its own, to help you relearn hunger and how to eat in a way that you won't regain all the weight that you lose.

I have watched all of Robin's videos on You Tube and I think I've benefited as much, if not more, from those. I really feel like this is changing my life. And for the first time ever, I feel like I'm on top of it all. I am going to be able to get off the weight and keep it off! It is so exciting!!

I wish you much success!!

Thank you all so much! I did the ebook as a kindle on my iPad perfect! Yes I love the idea of using the protocol for therapy!

Today is loading day three and I am really going to do my best to start off on the right foot!

My clinic is rxhcg, and they say two days. They said that if you read P&I, at least in one place, he says the third injection day is the beginning got the VLCD. I then re-read P&I, and frankly, in different places, his recommended number of load days appears to be different. At the very least it's confusing.

At any rate, I'm going with two days per my clinic/doctor. I have gallstones, and I'm scared to upset them with three days of high fat.

Just curious what you are basing this off of? Never heard this before? I thought loading for 2 days was standard regardless.

And would the 3 days of loading appling to all Rx hcg -- drops and pellets? Or just the injections?

That is what I am thinking too. I never heard of Dr S suggesting 3 days. When he wrote the original protocol no one ever did the homeopathic hcg so him suggesting 2 days just for homeopathic is wrong. He says to load for 2 days, you can certainly do more. In fact he did indeed have some patients load for a week Me, however could barely go past the 2nd day because I was so stuffed and puffy that I could barely fit into my jeans when eating so much. I was glad it was "only 2 days" of loading

Just bumping this up. Planning to start another round after Labor Day, and am using Rx pellets, so I am curious about t his whole 2 vs. 3 days of loading issue.

Any hcg experts care to weigh in?

It should be two days, as Dawn said, though some people do more because of their schedules. Dr. S had some patients load for a week, but only if they were malnourished from too much dieting to begin with.

Patients "must eat to capacity of the most fattening food they can get down until they have had their third injection," so you begin VLCDs on your third day.

Oh Ok thank dawn and cocoapeanut, that's what I was thinking, and what I've done in the past. Just wasn't sure if there had been some new "discoveries" since the last time I did hcg successfully -- which was nearly 2 years ago!
