Jodie, I am just starting learning about this. I have yet to start; awaiting the Hcg in the mail. What about you how many day have you been on it. What kind of diet plan are you on? I am concerned about the 500 cal diet we are supposed to do how do you do it?Jodie <our_humblepie@...> wrote: How many days have you been on the Hcg and how old is your batch or how are you taking it?>> So, those of us who are hungry are just emotional.

This is a 'support' forum so in that light please consider my

thoughts as they are intended, with support and encouragement.

It sounds like from your comments that you are trying to mix two

different diet protocols together. 1. a 'low calorie diet' and 2.

the 'hcg protocol' diet. The two DON'T mix and they are 'apples and

oranges' different from each other.

You are learning, unfortunatly the hard way, that you MUST follow the

hcg diet EXACTLY as Dr. S and KT prescribed. ANY diviation WILL

results in no weight loss or gaining of lbs. No more than 500

calories per day AND ONLY the prescribed food is allowed.

Because of the very physological structure of the protocol, your body

WILL adjust to the 500 calories and the released fat WILL provide

your body the necessary fuel to make the hungry feeling go away. But

you must give it time to adjust. If you followed the diet 'exactly'

for the the first 7 days, then your body just needs a little more

time to adjust. It WILL happen. Again, physologially, your body has

no choice than to. It WILL happen and you will not feel hungry.

I hope you will hang in there. Perhaps you need to make a choice if

this protocol is too hard to follow for you and maybe its not for

you. I think by continuing the way you are is doing much more damage

than good.

We are all here for your support. Good luck.

know.

believe that? I spent an entire week on the program - and then gain

but I will not even eat over a 1000 calories today or even

yesterday... Weird program. It sounds like you really have to follow

to a core.

in the book on page 174 kevin gives you a technique to help you stop your cravings you can also apply the same technique to stop smoking get rid of phobias it really really works also before you eat drink two glasses of water it helps you and when ever you get to wanting something to eat drink water take a short walk. put a picture on you fridge of an outfit you'll get when your done. remember it is only 6 weeks and like he said for inches and pounds lost you MUST

FOLLOW IT TO THE T

Works great as long as the tenperature is above 23 F so the oil wont solidify. I

use it allthe time in both fruit and veggie and combos.

cravings. i can cook eggs in it, but if i just eat it or mix in my tea

without food, i get kind of queasy. can i add it to a smoothy?

I do that a lot too...get busy and then forget to eat...but I've

really had to force myself to just " sit down already " and

eat...everything else can wait. I just consider it " me time " ... I

also am a salt-aholic...I salt everything! ...

A lack of chocolate!

Besides, chocolate is good for you.

It's sugar that's the problem.

Hello group,

I have been completely on the program for 2 months (without cheat). I

still have food cravings ( sugar, milk...). I can control them with vit C and

electrolyte drink. My questions are:

- How long have you suffered with food cravings after beeing completely on the

program?

- Is it normal to have cravings after 2 months? Is it possible to have cravings

until you are healthy? Sometimes I think I am not going to put up with this for

a long time...
