My first vial of hCG expired before I was through my 21 days. I started feeling awful 2 weeks before I was supposed to be finished with my first round! I knew the protocol "worked" so I started investigating why I felt the way I did. Although I bought my hCG from a local compounding pharmacy, I discovered they had mixed my hCG over 30 days before I purchased it. On the vial it had an expiration date later than the dates where I was feeling quite terrible (they had set the days to expire at 60). My point is, although I thought I was getting the best hCG from a local source, I did not control when they mixed it, how they mixed it and how long it was stored before it was purchased. Needless to say, I buy my hCG off the internet and mix it myself. Also, the previous commenter mention dosage. This will make a different too. I am sorry your experience is not turning out to be good. From reading your comments, your loading days may have been too restrictive too, meaning you didn't eat enough fats and calories.

If you think you can lose it another way, then maybe try the other way, as you have to follow this protocol from pounds and inches the way that they say. The only thing I allowed is Pam, as I don't think that was invented yet when Dr Simmeons wrote the protocol. Debbie is right.

Dr. Simeon researched all kinds of foods and it came down the ones that were proven to be the best for this diet. Many other variations could cause stalls, low weight loss, and even gain. So it is really important as Debbie said to stick to the diet exactly. It is worth it! I promise. There are lots of resources for recipes on the Ph2 so that it doesn't get mundane and unexciting. Many people I talk to say that most of what you can fix for yourself can be served to the entire family with just a few additions for them, like for instance potatoes or rice. Let me know if I can help you with those resources. Good Luck! Jessica,

That's how HCG works. It is not only about the calories but the right things and protein is one of them. If that is too difficult, I'd suggest another diet. This one is quite restrictive and to lose the "maximum amount of weight", you need to stick to the plan day in and day out. Debbie Jessica,

You would be better off with apple cider vinegar and add a little bit of sweetener, or some of the juice from your orange. Technically no because there is sugar in it.
