I will be starting on August 22nd. This will be my fourth round (time) on hcg and the Simeons Protocol. I started for the first time September of 2007. It does work at shedding the pounds. My problem is the maintaining with Phase 4 when I can eat anything I want. I lost 48 pounds total.

I am re-doing P2. At 16 days into P2, I am down 8 lbs. only. I seem stuck and it is so much harder to get through the day than the first time. Have you experienced this ? Also, can you tell me what type of needle you use to inject . How has your hunger level been each time? I have been using insulin needles and injecting into stomach fat. The first time I was euphoric like Simeones says, but not this time. I need to use all of my willpower and then some to stay on this for the next 7-10 days... HELP.

Hi, Kathleen, I use a 1 inch needle and inject into the muscle. I would experience hunger, weakness, dizziness during p2 at different stages. Of course the first week was the worst, but then I would notice on day 20, or day 30 or day whatever I would also experience these symptoms, but if I waited it out and had extra veggies or an extra apple or extra protein on that day I was struggling it would help me stick with the program and not cheat on something really bad like pasta or donuts or whatever. Hope that helps.

Linda: Since you did this 4 times, have you always used a 1 inch needle, and inject into what muscle? (the buttocks?) Did you have any trouble doing this yourself? I plan on doing P2 again sometime after the New Year, and since I have to order more needles, I thought I might try the 1 inch, and thought it might make a difference as to how much weight I lose. I have averaged a little less than 1/2 lb. per day both times. This time I have almost lost 10 lbs. in 21 days. If I keep it off I will not care that I didn't lose 1 lb. per day, however. This is my last week for P2 this time but I am just almost reaching the weight that I got to last time. I was so hopeful that it would truly stay off. I am a careful eater, but could be better, of course. The one day that I barely cheated this time, I gained 1.5 lbs. Boo hoo.

Hi, Kathleen, I have always used the 1" needles all four times on p2. I rotate the injection site. The first shot goes into the right buttocks, the second into the left buttocks, the third into the right deltoid (shoulder), the fourth into the left deltoid, the fifth into the right upper thigh, the sixth into the left upper thigh and then the seventh injection starts back at the right buttocks. The only area I can do myself is the thighs. My husbands injects me in my buttocks and deltoids. I hope this helps you. I feel that doing p2 (full rounds) four times has helped me learn how to eat healthy. I gained some weight back each of the three times on p3 and p4. Now this fourth time on p4 I feel I'm more confident knowing what works for my body and what foods to avoid that cause me to gain weight. I will do a fifth round of p2, but a half round (20-some days instead of 40) in January. Hopefully that will be the last time injecting for a long time. I have lost a total of 55 pounds since starting p2 for the first time in Sept of '07. So I guess it has taken me awhile to lose this weight, but anything that I spend a lot of time doing makes me appreciate it that much more than if it came easy to me. I guard this weight loss like it's worth a pile of gold. I don't want to lose it. It took too long to attain it, I'm not going to let go of it without a fight.

Hi, Sandy,I definitely haven't done all the cleanses. Right now I'm doing a whole body cleanse. I know in KT's book he says to continually do them. Not just once and then never again. I know he says to do the colon cleanse 4 times a year. I think he says you only have to do the Candida cleanse once, but for the other ones he mentions to do them more especially if you don't 100 percent organic which I don't. I definitely eat over 75 percent organic. Thanks for the suggestion. I can use all the help.

I'm doing a full body fat cleanse right now which KT recommends on page 111 of his Weight Loss book. I've done the LifeForce Candida cleanse, a colon cleanse twice, a parasite cleanse, a heavy metal cleanse. The only one I haven't done is the liver cleanse.

yes, I have been thrilled with the results. I have recently been on a gluten free, yeast free and dairy free diet. I did not lose a pound. Try to find out if they are followling Dr, Simones version, it is the most accurate. And make sure they are using the real hcg not the herbal item. I lost 13 pounds in 5 days, felt good. i hope to get quite alot more off. Am getting married at the end of oct, Would like to be at goal weight by then,
