This has come up several times before on 20, 21, 23 days. I understood it to be 23 days, 2 days non-effective and 21 days effective. Some don't think it is cycling when you do this and then do 3 weeks of P3 and right back at P2. I have learned to do what works for me, as I have had a lot to loose and still more to go. I just am learning to do what is good for me.
Sounds kind of complex and I know myself well enough to know that if I take a short break I might not get back in, which would be a disaster. Plus I have more social stuff during the following week which would mess with the 72 hour protocol for withdrawal if I push my finish out too far. I think I'll talk to the hostess about bringing my food and then also consider extending P2 one day.
I have a somewhat hectic schedule and I do plan around trips and those special occasions I know that I need to be on P3. It just takes a bit of planning, but it works.
The think is in more than one place Dr. S is very clear about a minimum of 23 injections and he talks about why and the importance of it. I would be very leary of ending P2 before that. I don't understand what the cylers are doing, I'm working on figuring it out.
I am going to take a break as described in the protocol for 7 to 10 days and then finish up my 40 injections then do my 3 weeks of P3 and 7 weeks of P4. Right now I'm at day 23, my loses are good right now so I will take the break as soon as the loses slow. I don't think this is cycling but I'm not sure LOL
Linda, I agree and that is what and how I have done it. I will breaking Tuesday and will do my 72 hours. I have a meeting Sunday and it will be buffet style barbque, they are known for their brisket. I just know the temptations and so I have planned to be able to have it. I will then start back P2 Wednesday or Thursday, will see how I am doing.
Hi Everyone! I'm new to the forum and have a question about taking a short 7-10 break in P2....I am on day 26 (end of my first mix) and desperately need to take a break before completely cave in. I didn't realize we could do this -that is take a break after having at least 23 days under our belts -and then break for up to 2 weeks, then resume. I really need to take about a week off. If so, can I jump right back into P2 for the last 14 -17 days? What would be the least amount of days I would need to resume when I come off my break? I only have about 10lbs to go. Thank you for any input. I know we have some very experienced folks here!
