Alcohol really wreaks havoc with weight loss for me. In my first 4 days, I lost 8lbs. That night I had 2 vodka/sodas, and didn't lose another pound until I did an apple day 4 days later. I read a little about alcohol and your hypothalamus, and I think I understand this: 1) alcohol adds extra calories, and we really must stay below 500/day; 2) the hypothalamus regulates appetite, thirst, mood and emotions, sex drive, and a myriad of other things. Drinking alcohol messes with the appetite part, and your body doesn't realize it doesn't need any food; 3) alcohol cannot be stored in your body, so the liver has to deal with it before it deals with any other macronutrients, such as fat, carbs, and protein. Those nutrients are stored as fat while the liver processes the alcohol.

I'm no fun, right? I figure I can live 6 weeks without a drink, I did it for 9 months twice. Just get back on the horse, you can do it.

First off, stick with injections when you re-start your cycle. You would have been fine after having that glass of wine if you would have stuck with the diet after that one mistake. But, you didnt. So yes in order to see the results you want, I would suggest starting over. I would say give it two-four weeks for your body to 'normalize' after you quit. Then start up again and yes of course do the load days again. Remember your mistakes from this time, and dont do it again :)Hope this helps.>> I need some advise - because I really messed up.> > For starters, I was on the HCG diet (injections) a couple of yrs ago and did great...have kept my weight off and only fluctuate a couple of lb.> > I want to
