    HI, I finished my first 40 shot round with doctor/Nurse
    Practitioner’s supervision.. or lack there of..
    Any way, I lost 34 pounds in the 40 days, Now I am at the end of
    week one of stage 3.. I am maintaining and even lost 2 pounds since Last shot. Eating ALL day long!! NOW I know what copious amount of veggies really means!!.

    #1>>Did you track all your
    food during this time? I still have 100 pounds to go. what % of
    protein and veggie carbs and fruits did you have?

    I do not mind the shots. I have heard that the sublingual does
    NOT work for some people. DO you feel your hypothalamus is reset
    so you can eat more normally??

    Great job and crongrats on the 34 lb weight loss! Yes, I know about the veggies and eating lost of them. And this from a guy that, prior to going on the HCG Diet, I hated the veggies!

    > Did you track all your food during this time?

    ALWAYS. In fact, it has been one of the keys to my success on the diet. I still do to this day just because I got in the habit. Same with weighing. While I no longer do it every day, I do weight 3x/week like clockwork. One of the secrets to success in any endeavor in life is that you can’t manage what you don’t measure. There are more upcoming posts on this… if folks are interested.

    > what % of protein and veggie carbs and fruits did you have?

    I don’t bother with calcing percentages because I haven’t found it to be important, even though I know some who think it is.

    Frankly, I found about as useful as Kevin Trudeau claiming that you have to do a “cleanse” before you go on the HCG Diet. Utter rubbish.

    > I have heard that the sublingual does NOT work for some people.

    Yes, I have seen this opinion masquerading as a fact, as well. Actual experience though, mine and others I have either coached or watched their progress, does not bear this out. I was glad to kick the shot deal to the curb. There were even a couple of times when I accidentally hit a nerve and that was harrowing — trying to pull a thin needle out of a violently-spasming muscle without breaking it. Not for the faint-hearted. Though it takes a bit longer to get into the bloodstream, under the tongue is more effective, and safer than shots.

    > DO you feel your hypothalamus is reset so you can eat more normally??

    Oh yah, absolutely. At some point I’ll write about my Great State Fair Experiment (where for 8 hours I ate as much pizza, burgers, french fires, brownies, deep-fried Snickers, etc my stomach could hold) and I did in the middle of Round 3. The results will astound you. On a much smaller scale, I did something similar over the Thanskgiving and Christmas holidays. And guess what? I only gained ten pounds and I had it all back off by the end of January. So yeah, I now pretty much have the metabolism I did when I was a teen.

    Too bad you didn’t try the subcutaneous instead of the intramuscular first. They are way easier and seem to work for most people I’ve talked to.

    Ok… haven’t seen any data about it one way or the other and, you know, I didn’t do too bad on intramuscular, did I?

    I would follow the directions they include. If you were in the coaching program I’d tell you something different, but then I’m able to make tweaks and adjustments accordingly.
