I am on my 3rd day of VCLD...and I am constantly hungry! I know if HCG is really "working" then I shouldn't feel hungry at all. I am not sure if should adjust my dosage. I am currently doing 166 iu sublingual per day. Should I take higher amount? I do .5 cc 2x day. Should i increase it to .6 cc 2x day?

Or is it better to just wait it out, as my body adjusts to the HCG diet? I am concerned because if I am hungry then obviously my body must be starvation mode, and must be burning muscle instead of fat. Maybe HCG is not right for me? What to do?

How long are you holding it under your tongue? If more than 5 minutes, cut back to 5. If that doesn't work then skip your next days's dose and see how you feel.

I have been holding it under my tongue longer then 5 minutes. Maybe 6-8 minutes. Is that maybe why? So I definitely will hold it under my tongue for exactly 5 minutes if the extra couple minutes may be affecting me. If I skip a dose, do I still eat the 500 cal on protocol?

Yes stick to the 500 calorie protocol. Skip the hcg tomorrow. When u start up again the next day take .5 cc but only hold it under your tongue for 5 minutes. NO LONGER.

My doctor told me that all her patients were hungry for the first 4 days, then fine after that. I just finished my 4th day, and I think the hunger is starting to subside. It may not be a dose issue, it might just take some time for your body to figure out what to do with the hCG.

I'm always hungry the first 4 days and I have to keep my drops under my tongue for 15 mins. I use 125 SL. If I only do five it's not quite enough-I must have different absorption rates...Just my .2!

Thanks for the tips....

I went ahead with my dosage my day (4th day), making sure to keep it exactly 5 min under my tongue. If the hunger continues as it has been...then I will skip my dosage tomorrow and see what happens.
