are you still having that side effect, f-b? and have you moved on to P4? hope it's going well!

yum, soda :). but i digress! i chew sugarless gum if i'm really hungry or dying for something sweet. i know it's not strictly protocol in anyway, but i figure it's better than cheating, at least for...

sounds like they are interchangeable...but the liquid does come in different flavors. haven't tried them myself!

Dr. Simeon's "Pounds and Inches" says you can exercise any time you want....including P2. Some people decide not to, and some say their doctors have told them not to, but original protocol says you...

hey mitten! congrats on your success so far! great job. it is recommended to not eat the same things twice, but i do it all the time because of money/time/ease...it doesn't seem to affect me, but...

i agree that the dr. vs. online thing is a matter of personal preference. i go thru a doctor for injections but they are only $200/round after the first (which is about $400). for me it is easier and...

according to the original protocol you can 1 tablespoon of milk/day...but personally my dr. recommended skipping that if possible. just my two cents :).

my dr. recommends smooth move also!

welcome! i am always really hungry the first week and tend to get hungry at night! my dr. recommended saving a small amount of protein to eat later, or keep one of your fruits until later...some...

i always use carmex and have used it throughout P2 with no problems. i have stayed away from moisturizer and lotion, and my dry skin is really bad lately...but i figured i could suffer thru :). i...

that's great, f-b! the three days of VCLD were fine for me the first time around. P3 was up and down, had to do a few steak days after weird gains (5 pounds in one day from eating figs. hello!??!)....

interesting! i definitely don't sleep as well, especially in the first week or so of the injections. the protocol is a huge change, so it makes sense that our bodies and minds are acting differently!...

my dr specified that i could have 1T onion, 1 clove garlic, and 1T salsa with both meals in addition to the protein/veg/fruit. i always cook with onion and garlic and often tomatoes with my other...

don't quit! i know the ups and downs are really discouraging...i have been going thru that this round myself! but think of all the hard work you have put in to this point! unfortunately cheating can...

i go thru a doctor as well, but for injections, and it is a lot less money! but it is still more than buying online. i think it's just personal preference; i feel more comfortable going thru the dr....

i'll have to check out the baby shampoo...i just use my regular but don't wash my hair every day. is there a particular variety that is the best to use for this?

will have to check them out...i love cookbooks :). thanks for the info.

i'd like to hear from people who use these...there are so many mixed reviews online, from how great to disgusting! i'm wondering if they are worth trying...

hey lt...i haven't used that specific medication but i did have to use a topical anti-fungal for a couple of days and it didn't seem to hurt. i know we're supposed to avoid most medications...have...

welcome, and good luck.

thanks for all the kind words and support, all! i have been really slacking on keeping this updated lately. i really have struggled with this second round! the ups and downs seem much more common...

thanks for that info, krissie. i didn't know much about the different dosages/types of injections, since i go thru my naturopath and get the pre-measured needles. good to know!

hi krissie...hope you are continuing to do well. keep us posted on your losses!

thanks very much! i hope your round goes well! keep us posted :).

amazing progress, virginia! keep us posted on how the rest of your round goes and good luck!
