Day 5 and still pretty hungry on HCG

[randysherry]

I have read that the majority of those on HCG have little or no hunger at all.  How long does it take for this to happen?  There are 3 of us here doing it, and 2 of us are dealing with hunger more than the third.  We started at 150 iu and just increased it to 175 iu.  Shouldn't this be substancial?  Also, out of the two of us who are struggling with the hunger (35 year old male, and 25 year old female), one of us should probably drink more, but the other one of us is drinking 1/2 - over 1 gallon of water per day.  Also, the teas don't seem to help either.  Please tell me if you know why this could be happening.  We did the ketones urine test, and we are from moderate to large.   Are we going to struggle like this through the whole protocol?

I too am on day 5 of HCG... I have lost 6.5 pounds.. I am very happy with that.. I have found though that in the last 2 days I am having headaches. I take 20 drops in the morning and at bed time.. Although, I am hungry at times.. it's not too bad.. I do tend to feel a bit weaker in the afternoons.. I bought my drops from Drops Direct.

Can anyone tell me if this will go away shortly? Also.. I am seeing that ppl are taking L Glutamine.. Will this interfere with the drops/diet?

Any help would be great!  Thank you!

I feel you.  I am using the Corion as well.  Waiting to load again on Aug 3rd.  I injected at the 20 mark on the syringe.  Seemed to work best for me.  The first week was tough.  I loaded for 3 days too which I think helped.

The reason why it was more potent when ordering from reliablerx is because you mixed it yourself and had a fresh batch. I don't order from sources where it is premixed because once it is mixed it has a limited shelf life of around 20 days or so before it starts to lose its potency. So there is no telling how or when the hcg was mixed before you receive it. I like corion the best, it was the most potent, but Reliable is the only place i can order it now and they carry ovidac, i am on VLCD4 and have not eaten today yet and am not even hungy. I struggle to even get to 500 calories every day. You just have to play with the dose a little bit. I seen to need to inject more this time around, but I am assuming it is because ovidac is not as potent.

I did the homeopathic drops & the real drops.  Both worked as far as loosing weight but the hunger was bad!! Next I did the injections & got it from Nuimage.  Lost weight but hunger still bad.  Recently got the injection form from ReliableRx.  First week there was hunger but after that it really helped!  I think it was the most potent.  Pounds were coming off as should be.  I screwed up & didn't mix it right so was off of it a week early but will be doing another round at the beginning of August.  I know injections sound horrible but it's how the plan was created.

Howdy.  I am on D3 of hcg (200iu injections).  Hunger was HORRIBLE yesterday.  Somewhat better today.  Spreading out the food does help.  Thank you for all your advice.  Going to pick up some L=Glutamine today.  Have a few questions.  What is a ketone test & what levels should I be at daily?  What is a survival capsule?  I am doing the 3 week plan (40 killed me last time due to hunger & loving food).
