I just started the HCG diet. I am on my 3rd day (1st day of 500 cal diet)... here are some questions I have.
1) I have SQ insulin injections... have the mixture and everything... but I have been told this is suppose to be IM? Can I continue doing it SQ?
2) How does it work when you have your period? I was told I stop during the days I have a period and continue when period stops. However do I continue the 500 cal diet during this time?
3) My mother did this diet through a DR about a year ago. She said do the injections for 6 days then 1 day off? Is this true?
I am doing the 40 day course... I am really excited and ready for a new year new me jump start! Any help to these questions will be greatly appreciated!
You can do the injections SQ or IM, the dosage is more for SQ. Some people stop doing shots during their TOM, some people continue. I used to skip but now I go all the way through and didn't notice any difference. Either way, you continue the VLCD. When you are doing the longer round, you skip one injection a week to keep immunity from happening. You would skip the same day each week.
welcome ponka_18 you can just pop in any of the catagories everyone that i have met on here has been very helpful and friendly............. just join in.......... Shelley
They are all encouraging! If you have questions, you can use the search function and if you don't see it, just ask - everyone on here is wonderful! 150 seems low for SQ so if you start to experience hunger you might want to up it, I think most people do 200.
