I thought I had it right, but in looking at Pounds and Inches again, here is what it has to say about minimal time on the protocol in order to reset your hypothalamus:<br /><br />Pages 51-52:<br /><br />"We never give a treatment lasting less than 26 days, even in patients needing to lose only 5 pounds. It seems that even in the mildest cases of obesity the diencephalon requires about three weeks rest from the maximal exertion to which it has been previously subjected in order to regain fully its normal fat-banking capacity. Clinically this expresses itself, in the fact that, when in these mild cases, treatment is stopped as soon as the weight is normal, which may be achieved in a week, it is much more easily regained than after a full course of 23 injections.<br /><br />As soon as such patients have lost all their abnormal superfluous fat, they at once begin to feel ravenously hungry in spite of continued injections. This is because HCG only puts abnormal fat into circulation and cannot, in the doses used, liberate normal fat deposits; indeed, it seems to prevent their consumption. As soon as their statistically normal weight is reached, these patients are put on 800-1000 Calories for the rest of the treatment. The diet is arranged in such a way that the weight remains perfectly stationary and is thus continued for three days after the 23rd injection. Only then are the patients free to eat anything they please except sugar and starches for the next three weeks." <br /><br />:( I'm sorry!helderheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421494532502676965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-850720343842114971.post-29258005285699928102009-10-08T07:50:06.234-07:002009-10-08T07:50:06.234-07:00I'm so glad it made sense!

It's both the hardest and easiest thing I've done. :) I'm sure you know what I mean!helderheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421494532502676965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-850720343842114971.post-74957889021305214732009-10-07T20:41:05.823-07:002009-10-07T20:41:05.823-07:00Thanks, Vicky for you comment! This diet is awesom...Thanks, Vicky for you comment! This diet is awesome and I would be in a lot worse shape if I was just on any other diet- that is for sure! I need to keep that in mind and calm down. :) Yeah, I am going to hold out until Sat. and see how I feel Sunday morning. I can be and should be happy with the results so far, but I can't help but get frustrated. :( You are doing great and I bet you can't wait for your cruise coming up?! At least we are all in the same HCG boat. :) (which is a good boat to be in...)Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166519593036229465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-850720343842114971.post-46705527761140761842009-10-07T19:52:56.911-07:002009-10-07T19:52:56.911-07:00Oy Caitlin!!! It must be in the air. All day toda...Oy Caitlin!!! It must be in the air. All day today I just felt "off." The stress of my sons birthday party this weekend is kind of getting to me and I my stomach was upset today so I skipped lunch AND I havent hit my water amount yet and its 7:42. When I got home from work I was SO NOT in the mood to cook, so I grabbed a frozen chicken, spinach bacon pizza and I feel no guilt. It was good, but throughout the day I was wondering myself, can I really continue this for another 3-4 weeks?!? I am also debating if once I hit 30lbs lost should I just stop...I hope you make whatever decision is best for you, I support you girl!!! Good luck with your choice?Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688660089699946535noreply@blogger.com
