Day 40 VLCD - Planning Ahead

Posted by Enchantress at 7:19 PM

I've been scouring the HCG world regarding P3 and how to go about making the transition from no food to lots of food. Some people have no trouble, while others bounce around all over the place. Regardless of the changes and the adjustments I'll be making, the thing I'm most looking forward too? My fitness training. Goodness! Did I just type that? Yes. I'm looking forward to it a great deal.

The weight from my arms is gone and they've shrunken a bit, but I miss the definition that I once had. It's still there a little, but it needs some rejuvenation. In fact, all my muscles need a reminder of what they can do and how they can look, especially in a pair of skinny jeans or a bathing suit. I'll take it easy, of course. Dr. S. talks about people being extra sore or even bruised from exercise so, I'll certainly pace myself.

I had a nice loss this morning (staying clear of the salt obviously made a difference) at the tune of 1.4lbs. Yes! Score! Wonder if I'll be in the 150s before this round is all over? Speaking of, it may be all over tomorrow. I was scraping near the bottom of the bottle for my injection, this morning. I think I've got one left but, we'll see. If not, it will be 72 hours from today (7:30 this morning, to be exact) that I could have some scrambled eggs and bacon. Heck, make it an omelette with lovely peppers, mushrooms and glorious cheese!

Here's what I had today:

Way to go! I bet you DO hit the 150s this round!

From what I have read, treating P3 as an Atkins-like method works for a lot of people. Figure out what your required calorie intake should be for your new weight and activity level, then eat to that intake number with good fats, full fat dairy, proteins, low sugar fruits and veggies. Just no sugar, no starch.
I would ease into the exercise. I plan on waiting till P4 myself (if I can stand it - I already WANT to go running lol).
There's a product called Skinny Drops that I'm going to try that people have found successful in aiding the hypothalamus in resetting. Apparently it gives a very stable P3. Maybe have a look at that? Good luck!!!

Thanks so much, Susan. Yes! I've heard about people doing Atkins and South Beach. My plan is to introduce things slowly to see how my body reacts. It will be easier to determine what's causing issues if I only add one or two things at a time, I think. I'm going to try very hard not to go overboard.
