1. The advantage to going to a clinic is that you won't have to be responsible for ordering and mixing your own hcg. And you may get peace of mind from having medical professionals oversee your diet. I didn't use a clinic.

2. That sounds like a good idea.

3. Exercising is fine. If you read Pounds & Inches, it says exercise is encouraged. It is often repeated that you shouldn't exercise, but I don't know where that comes from...it isn't in P&I.

4. You can also find info about loading in P&I. For the first 2-3 days of taking the hcg, you eat fattening foods to capacity. That ensures your fat stores are filled as you begin the VLCD. Most people gain a little while loading, but some lose weight or stay the same. P&I says, "One cannot keep a patient comfortably on 500 Calories unless his normal fat reserves are reasonably well stocked. It is for this reason also that every case, even those that are actually gaining must eat to capacity of the most fattening food they can get down until they have had the third injection. It is a fundamental mistake to put a patient on 500 Calories as soon as the injections are started, as it seems to take about three injections before abnormally deposited fat begins to circulate and thus become available."
