    hey guys, i am not familiar with any of this talk "p3, what dosage, phase 4" i don't know much about it i'm only 4 days into the VLCD (about the only slang i know is vlcd, lol) and Colleen you said i should not be hungry? but everyone said the first week is the hardest and i should be hungry but that it will pass on the seocnd week, were they wrong? i'm just confused. and we are allowed chicken broth? it doesnt say that on my diet book... sorry to be a pain guys.

    Colleen. my bottle says HCG5000, i am doing injections,on a 40 day program but they only mixed 20 days for me so it stays fresh and then they will mix the other 20 days later on. does that answer the what dose am i on question?

    5000 iu divided by 20 doses is 250 iu per dose. That is a bit high. Are you skipping a day per week?

    Dr S's original protocol called for 125 iu but he used IM shots, not subq as most of us now use. Most on the forum take between 150 to 200 iu subq. Dr. S stated that increasing the dose too much can cause the opposite effect...weight gain...and also lead to hunger. Just something to keep in mind if your hunger continues. Also, we are just guessing that you have the entire 5000 iu diluted to 20 doses. Untless your doc told you exactly what is in the bottle, we don't know.

    You need to check the info from your clinic about when you are supposed to skip an injection. Most do skip a day on 40 day rounds, to help prevent immunity.

    When I took 250iu subq I was starving. If I were you I'd ask my doctor how many iu's a day were in each injection and if it is 250 I'd lower it to 200 pronto!

    If you didn't load properly, you can be hungry the first few days. I loaded really well for my rounds so I wasn't hungry on my first VLCD. With the proper dose, you shouldn't be hungry, you should feel "up" and happy. :-) That's not to say you don't have cravings. Sometimes we just want chocolate or donuts or other junk. :-( But this is boot camp to break through that and learn what food our bodies really need. It's great!

    Just because they said 20 days doesn't mean she'll use it all....jen ask tomorrow what iu you are taking. Drink HOT tea or sparkling water it helps :o). You should not have skipped a day yet...you need to wait at Least a week before slipping one. Depending on the dose you can figure it out from there...the melba toast might be causing it also....
