This is why eating carbs during the three week post HCG phase ruins your newly acquired metabolism i believe that's far too "black and white" of a conclusion to be true, but the theory behind it is interesting.

i do know there are some clinics that don't do P3 at all, but have their patients increase fat and calories a little at a time, although with helthy carbs. i can't imagine that none of their patients stabilize- that would not lead to much repeat business- although i also wouldn't doubt that the likelihood of stabilizing is higher if you stick to P3 foods. i also imagine that they limit carb intake to healthy carbs- i don't think any of them let people eat junk food, processed crap, deserts, etc.

it also doesn't explain what would magically change after the 3 wks of PT. it seems like eating carbs in P4 would cause the same problem, unless he's figuring that your body is more used to your weight being it's "normal" at that point. but it does also support what we tend to see on the forum- that many people can not go back to eating a lot of carbs without gaining weight back.

kaleein- it may be that the carbs were just not filling you up- that you needed the fat to do so. yet that is the frustrating part of trying to figure out what is going on with me. when i did my interruption i had breakfast with some friends, and had the low-carb option- which was 3 eggs, 2 bacon and 2 sausage (i chose the turkey, which had no additives). i ate that and i was hungry. and i was still hungry, an hour later. for me it generally takes about 90' before i feel full. so it's not that it doesn't happen, but it's extremely delayed. and in the meantime it's very difficult for me to not eat. yet if i go ahead and more, then i feel overly full later on. this was a daily pattern for me before i started to lose. i was extremely hungry, especially in the evening. and even if i ate healthy foods, i tended to keep eating until i was full (i guess that's the instinct that we're born with, after all). then i'd stop, and about an hour later i'd feel sick from having eaten so much.

my hunger is so extreme when i stop hcg that i'm thinking of having another conversation with my doc and trying one of the medications.
