Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Minimum calorie requirements were well over 2000. Right now I am eating between 1500 & 1700. Breakfast 2 eggs with a little grated cheese Coffee w/2Tb Cream & Stevia Sometimes naturally cured bacon (2 slices) Snack roasted almonds Lunch hamburger patty 200g whole grain mustard lettuce 1 cup Ranch dressing 2T Snack (sometimes) 1/4 cup cottage cheese Dinner Halibut 200gr Asparagus 1 cup 1T olive oil 1T grated parmesan 1/2 sliced tomatoe 5 sliced strawberries with stevia Green tea Hey Deb,A couple things:1) Did you check your minimum calorie requirements for your weight/height/age/activity level?2) What exactly are you eating? Can you give us a menu. Don't leave anything out, the weirdest things can cause gains3) Are you drinking your water? You have to maintain water consumptionNamaste,Vicky Rowe - ** Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!**http://www.hcgloss.com - the Zen of Pounds & IncheshCG Message Board: http://www.hcgloss.com/forum/index.phpVicky's hCG Blog: http://www.hcgloss.com/wordpress/How To Do Phase 3: http://www.hcgloss.com/diet-steps/phase-3-stablizing.htmlWhere to buy hCG: http://www.hcgloss.com/get-your-hcg.htmlPounds & Inches: http://www.hcgloss.com/pounds-and-inches.htmlFind your P3 Calories: http://www.hcgloss.com/calculators.htmlhCG Protocol SUPPLIES: https://secure.osisecureweb.com/hcgsupplies/redir.php?id=25============================================================211.4/170/135 (Whoohoo, on my way!!)Round 2 - Phase 2 -->Phase 3 June 2, 2009>> I really frustrated on P3! I thought I had this figured out . . > > I've been maintaining close to my last injection weight eating about 1500 calories a day. Whenever I go over that I gain a pound. Is this right? One day when I had 1700 calories I gained 2 pounds and did a steak day which worked, but now I am up a pound after eating 1800 calories yesterday which I did as an experiment. HELP! This is harder that the VLCD. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 OK, first thing: - nuts make some gain. Drop them until you are sure they're not the problem - cottage cheese - most of it has sugar added. I'd avoid it in P3 until you know. - make sure you're getting *lots* of protein, that is important Finally, try 2 days of eating your recommended calorie levels for your weight/height/age and activity level. I gained everywhere I ate *below* that level. It wasn't until I hit within a 100 or so calories of it that I stopped gaining. Weird, I know. But its worth a try. Right now you're already doing steak days. See if this works, and if it does, you might not need to do any more....

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Hi DC, Sorry, I just thanked Vicki for this great advice. Wanted to let you know how much this has helped me. I was starting to panic and you threw me a lifeline. Thanks you so much for taking the time to respond. I think I am finally stabilized on Maintenance. Deborah > > > > > > > > > > > > A lot of you are talking about how when you ate more, you lost. But I am too scared to do that. I am beginning my second week of maintenance and I have already had to do 2 steak days. Like a lot of you, Im not quite sure what to expect when I weigh myself in the morning. Would any of you on maintenance be willing to send me what exactly you eat on a typical day so I could get an idea of what I should be doing or what I am doing wrong? I would so gretaly appreciate this!!! Thank you! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
