Sophia, first off...no one who is of the female gender loses 2 lbs a day over the course of a round, so don't set yourself up mentally to feel like a failure, ok? Avg per day losses for women on hcg are .5 lb to .75 lb over the length of the round. Next, I agree with you about the insulin spike from the fruit, and I think it makes me hungry as well....therefore, I eat very little fruit on phase 2, and add more protein in which seems to satisfy me longer, or more green veggies which fill me up more and don't cause the insulin spike, and frankly have more nutrients than alot of fruits now a days. If you are going to eat a fruit, try it right before you work out....many do that to get the carb boost from it. Your plan sounds fine to me. Hang in there, and remember, the closer to goal you are, the slower you lose and the harder it is to keep the last 7 to 10 lbs off.
