Hi, Erin…This is typical, since most of the weight loss at first is water weight. You should settle in at a half to a full pound per day. The lightheadedness goes away after a week or so for me and others who have experienced it. Good luck!

All the best,
Dennis

I am on my fourth day of taking the drops. I lost 2.5 lbs the first day, 2.5 lbs the second day, and 0 lbs the third day. I have been suffereing from a headache for over 24 hours now, plus I feel lightheaded and dizzy? Any recommendations?

Great questions, Rick. First off, way to go on your progress! Regarding the nasal spray, I do know about it. Any mucous membrane (under the tongue, nasal passage, others that we don’t want to talk about) are legitimate routes of entry. They are less efficient in getting hCG into your body than the injection route, so you have to use more of the hormone to match the required dose. The 125 IU injection, for example, is matched by 400-500 IUvia a sublingual route. The nasal route is similar. A transdermal (through the skin) product can also work, as long as the dose is sufficient. Neither of these is as common as the sublingual forms (drops, pellets). If you are taking 12,000 IU over a 30-day protocol, that sounds just right for the dosages you need. Probiotics are great, so I commend your MD for being forward thinking in that regard. Vitamin D supplementation is important for a lot of reasons, not just for the hCG protocol. B-12 is recommended as an energy pick-up and can be very helpful. Other supplements? I could write a book about them. I take 30-40 products per day. Now about that bread, yes the low-carb bread seems okay. However, if it is low-carb, what replaces the carb in it? Not fat? Not protein? Sugar alcohols are just as bad as sugar or starch. My recommendation is to experiment with it. See what, if anything, eating this instead of Melba toast, does to your progress. I would guess that, for you, it would be fine. If you travel for only a day or 2, you can take the hCG before you leave on one day, then when you get back on the next day. Missing one or two doses will not stop your progress. Especially since you are already on a world-record pace!

All the best,
Dennis

Hi, Mary…Yes, I concur. You do not need to wait before doing the hCG protocol with real hormone. Good luck!

Hi Dennis, love the website and your helpful input. I have a few comments and questions. I’m doing the protocol with my MD, my morning weight on Day 15 indicates I’ve lost 23.6 lbs! My doctor mixed a solution in a bottle with another solution by injecting it with a syringe. It is a nasal spay that requires refrigeration. The bottle says HCG 12000 IU. I have trolled many sites and no one really speaks of the nasal spray, are you familiar with it and is it common? He supplied me with Probiotic and Vitamin D supplements but I hear many people speak of B12, do I need that or other supplements? What are you thoughts on low-carb, high fiber, sugar free bread that has 40 calories per slice? Seems to me 1 piece would be healthier than 2 pieces of the bread sticks or Melba toast. Finally, if I have to travel a day or 2 for work what do you suggest I do for the drug or for eating out? Thanks.

I couldnt locate the IU’s on any of the material, even though it says human CG on the ingredients list on box. So I pulled out the sheet on the product from the box and read this…”Hf-15 & HF-30 are both 100% hormone free and contain no hCG.” I think I just read that I bought a bogus product, do you concur? Crud… If in fact I need to purchase yours (will do tonight) do I need to wait until next month to begin? My last day of period was Sunday. Thanks again, I’m getting excited!!! Thanks heaps!

You should do fine, although I am unfamiliar with the product that you mention. How many IUs of hCG per day does it provide? Starting a protocol within a few days of your cycle should work without problems. Thank you for your kind words!

I printed and read the recommended readings you gave, thank you, and I now know this is the right plan for me to do. However, now I’m more confused about whether or not I need to go through a doc office to have it managed or do it myself. I want to succeed so badly but afraid of messing it up somehow. Also, am on synthroid, will I need to have my blood work tested during the treatment or at the end? I had a complete physical a few months back, nothing out of line except bad cholesteral, but just slightly. My thyroid has been “leveled” out with meds for some time. If I purchase through your company, is there more information that comes with the product to ensure I do the right things? Like I learned to make sure I start this after my period stops, which was a few days ago. Does this mean I need to wait another month before I start? I REALLY want to start now. I did purchase the HCG on line that reads Natural HCG alternative, and the ingredients say Human Chor. Gon., but if you think its the wrong product, I am more than happy to purchase through you. (Wish I had known your website before I bought the other…) Thank you for your patience and your input. Its so valuable to me.

Hi, Julie: Both of these are oils and should not be taken during the time that you are on the hormone and the VLCD. After that these are fine.

All the best,
Dennis

Can I take CLA during phase 1? I have only 5 days left of Phase 1. Also, can I take Evening Primrose?
