Candace, may I suggest lowering your dosage. Any slight deviation from the original protocol will affect your weight loss.

My husband and I have both completed phase 1and phase 2 and are 2weeks into phase 3. He lost 32 pounds and looks great! he only has about 10 to 15 more to go. I on the other hand... only lost an average of 0.3 pounds per day. Even thought we both ate the exact same strict diet. I have to think that is due to womens muscle ratio being sooo different. PLUS I have an inactive thyroid and have been on synthroid for 12 years. Although I completely stopped my synthroid when I began the shots. (against doctors wishes) K. EAT Coconut Oil it helps

Thanks for the info about other females only losing .5 per day. It makes me feel a little better. I ordered some other needles that are 1 1/2" so I can start doing the shots IM. That's the only other thing I can think of that's slowing my loss down. The needles I have now are only 1/2" but I'm thinking about trying to inject IM tomorrow in my arm or pectoral. I know the instructions say to do it in the gluteal region (which I can do when I get the new shots), but have you heard if other muscle areas are as effective, like the bicep, pec, or thigh?

Hey, by the way, candace, this last week was so bad that I decided to change some things: I'm not doing the grissini (OR melba), coffee or milk anymore. Wheat and dairy have never agreed with me so...Also, I've talked to TONS of people who are doing it now and it's more common for women to have an average of .5lb/day or so.

I too am very disappointed with my weight loss. I'm in my 1st round of phase 2. I take 1 shot of 250 ml subQ everyday. I'm on the Simeons' VLCD to the "T" (including 1 melba toast w/ each meal that I'm eating as a snack). I feel my weight loss has been very slow ranging from .2 to .8 per day, even gaining .8 one day. I use hyaluronic acid as a facial moisturizer, an all natural oil free sunscreen only periodically as needed, 99% aloe vera gel to wash hair and body, and a leave in organic conditioner on my hair once a week. I have not cheated once and have followed the diet EXACTLY! I've lost only 7 pounds in 14 days. This would be very exciting to most people, but I was so excited thinking I was going to lose a pound a day, or at least close to it. When I started I needed to lose about 30 pounds. Shouldn't the weight be coming off a lot faster according to Simeons and Kevin Trudeau? The only way I'm deviating from the protocol is that I'm giving myself 250 ml subQ (as directed by hcg medical), and not the 125 ml intramuscular as stated by Simeons. I don't know what else could be causing this slow loss. Thanks for your help.

Hello all!

My last seven weigh ins have been a bit dissapointing:

VLCD20:minus zero
21: minus point 8
22: minus point 2
23: PLUS POINT SIX
24: minus point 2
25: minus point 8
26: minus point 2

But I don't want to feel disappointed so I would like to find out if these are 'regular' losses and ups and downs for the second half of a long round.

I'm doing the NHW schedule of injections for those who are familiar, but the Dr. S eating protocol, including the grissini.

I am eating a whole grapefruit not half.

In the 25 full VLCDs I've lost 17.4 pounds, which is .696. This looks good but my concern is that the average is only going to go down from now on right?

Hoping for some feedback,
