Can I just do one load day???

Reddy · 09-02-2012, 06:55 AM

Starting my second round today. I'm supposed to load today and tomorrow but I actually have been eating like I'm loading for the last few days. And I put on 5 pounds as a result!

I'm wondering if I could get away with loading just one day and doing my 1st VLCD tomorrow? I know loading is important but since I ate so much in the last two days can I assume that will help? I wish I would've started my injections yesterday!

I just hate that this is putting me so far behind where I could've been!

I wouldn't. I think it's important that loading is happening with HCG in your system. I'd load one more day just to be safe. My doctor has me load for 3 days.

I would agree with Christyb (ha!). Keep your load days high fat, low carb, and you may just LOSE weight loading.

I know its tempting. I have had so many vacations, interruptions, ect, etc. I too wish I could just jump in but I know I need the HCG to do its magic.

I start VLCD1 tomorrow.

I feel so heavy right now. I know I am bloated as we ate a lot of Mexican food for 2 days on vacation plus drinking. Gah. The scale is gonna be bad tomorrow! LOL

Ugh I feel like crap b/c I had too much sugar today. Yuck. I wish I could rewind and not have drank so much lemonade. Ew.

Looking forward to VLCD1!
