3rd day of VLCD and STARVING! What to do?
 

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? http://hcgdietinfo.com/hcgdietforums...lies/frown.png

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.
