I used the drops for 30 days, which I know isn't 23 or 40 days, but, I did lose 30 lbs. I then started to add in some extra proteins, veges and fats and have continued on this way since 02/09/10 when I had my last dose. First I must say I am tickled pink and feel reborn. Secondly, I decided I would just forego sugar and most all starches after finishing P3. I eat a piece of low carb bread here and there and have a cocktail or three now and then.... Anyway, I have now lost an additional 7 lbs since stopping the hcg. Has anyone else had success losing weight after stopping the hcg? My appetite was so greatly reduced that I just never went back to eating a lot of food. If I want something I have it. If I dine out, I just eat a very light meal at my next feeding. So far so good! I plan to do another round here in a few weeks since I bought some 10000 iu vials of Hucog from India. Do you suppose I am doing myself a disfavor by eating low carb and low cal (probably 1000-1200 a day)? I don't feel hungry, I am very motivated to keep losing and it has been a wonderful experience all around. Trust me I am a serial dieter who has done every plan under the sun and was very very skeptical of this plan, but now, it's my secret weapon. Any input would be appreciated. Jen
I have heard of people losing on P3, but on this forum, I think the advice is to not go up or down too far. However, if your eating habits have changed, and you're not hungry............what are you supposed to do? Perhaps your hypthalamus has reset lower than your last injection weight.!!! who knows. I remember reading a testimonial on some doctor's web page out of south America where the woman said she lost more weight after the low calorie part and had been on one shot a week for the second part of the diet. (What we refer to as P3). She lost her weight back in Simeons's day and kept it off. Hopefully someone with a lot more experience will chime in here. Sounds like a problem I'd like to have, Jen.

you're not supposed to lose more but if you're doing another round, that will repair the damage to your metabolism by dieting in P3. If this were your last round, that wouldn't have been good though.
I'm a little concerned that you have lost during P3. Dr. S. is pretty specific about not going over or UNDER (which we could underline LOL) 2 lbs of your liw weight. It also sounds like you maybe did your 72 hours for longer then 72 hours? I wasn't quite sure with the way you explained it (sorry, getting old LOL).
