Stalled HCG weight loss
On hcg, did you start out with great weight loss and then stall out? I lost 10 pounds in the first 4 days (at 500 calories) and then only lost 4 pounds in the next 25 days. That's only about a pound a week after the initial loss. Has anyone else had similar results?? Kevin says, in the book, to mix the HCG doses daily. I got mine from GHI Medical and they send it in one 40 day vial to be mixed all at once. I talked to a micro-bioligist and he said that there are NO hormones that have more that a 7 day shelf life once mixed. Has anyone recieved HCG that was in single use vials to mix each day??
On the bright side, I did loose over 5 inches around my gut without loosing anything in any of my muscle measurements.

Hi Steve, I did the same as you. I ordered mine from GHI Medical and it does last as long as it is refrigerated. I am finishing my second round from them on this coming Friday. I did have a stall period but was able to lose 30 pounds the first round and 17 pounds so far this round. I have not seen anyone who has used the single day vials to mix. You did great it seems to me on what you had. The weight loss varies for everyone so keep going until you reach you goal. But remember the key is plenty of water and you must get 8 hours of sleep or the stall will continue.

I measure my water to make sure I drink enough. I had often, over the years, gone all day without drinking anything but a 20oz mug of coffee in the morning. Trust me, I always get my 9-10 hours of sleep a night. Naps are not out of the question either. I joined the gym after starting phase 2,( I lift weights there). I ride my bicycle or walk to the gym. That reduces my exposure to AC, especially since they keep it at about 65 degrees with 3 large fans blowing. I use my rebounde daily, my Cardio Glide 3-4 times a week, and go for walks. On a simple, reduced calorie diet, I lost 3-4 pounds per week thru Jan and Feb of this year. But the weight did return each time.
On page 119 of "the Weight Loss Cure" Kevin says to mix the HCG daily because it will completely loose its potency in 24 hours.

That sounds good Steve. But I have noticed from reading a lot of peoples journals you will retain water if you do a lot of exercise during phase 2. So I have never exercised during phase 2 and have been really sucessful with losing a great deal even with the minor stalls.

I have never heard of exercising causing water retension. Alot of people actually weigh in right after a work out because you sweat off water weight. That kind of weigh in is totally meaningless but it makes them feel good I guess. Kevin does stress the importance of different kinds of exercise during phase 2. Walking, weight training, and rebounding are all important for different reasons. I did not have any water retension issues.

I am in a stall for 7 days now. Doing everything as it says, at least I think so. Drinking a gallon of water a day. Eating the right stuff. Enough already. Any ideas?

How did your HCG come? I believe that my stall was caused by the HCG coming in a single vial/ 40 day supply. Kevin says that it must be mixed daily because it looses it's potency in 24 hours. A micro-biologist that I know, says that NO hormone has a shelf life over 7 days once mixed. I plan to do phase 2 again but I am going to try to take a little of the powder out of the bottle at a time and mix it and just risk the accuracy of the dosage.
