i have done 4, count 'em, 4, rounds of hcg. all homeopathic and same brand all four rounds

R1 - perfect in all accounts. lost 22 lbs in a 28 day round. P3 by the book for 21 days. P4 by the book for 21 days. stabilized BEAUTIFULLY. 207 lbs to 185 lbs

R2 - what a joke. weight loss was minimal & up and down. did not stabilize. P3 for 35 days in hopes of stabilization. no luck jumped right back into another round. 185lbs to 177 lbs

R3 - done to redeem the last round. weight loss minimal again (15 lbs in 30 day round) P3 was somewhat stable with a few correction days. P4 for 60 days and was very rocky. started to incrimentally gain weight back towards the last 20 days. was eating clean with no refined starch or added sugar. correction days (steak and FFF) did not do anything to correct the weight gain. then after all this, i was VERY frustrated and developed an addiction to cheetos (which havent passed thru my lips in YEARS. go figure) 177lbs to 167 lbs but gained in P4. leveled out at 178lbs

R4 - absolutely no willpower to do and follow the protocol. by this time i was so deprived of my green smoothies that i thought i would go bonkers. threw in the towel at day 21. did one week of strict P3 eating and then jumped right into my green smoothies and salads. started this round at 178, went down to 172 at end of P2 (21 days). have been stable at 176 +/- since March 12.

the plus side to all this is that I've gone from a size 18 to a 12. and with all the crazy weight fluctuations, my body has remained the same size.

Here's my dilema: I want to do another round but don't think i have the mental endurance, capacity or willpower to do it by the book (protocol), not to mention how exhausted my body may be so i want to do it with nothing but green smoothies.

my questions:
-has anyone done HCG and had a banana daily?
-how will the starchy fruit affect the hcg?
-will it still do what it needs to do?
-could my body have developed an immunity to the homeopathic stuff since i used the same brand all 4 rounds?

any advise, input or wisdom is much appreciated!
