Why does the hunger get worse??

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I'm so glad to have found an HCG support site. Hope any

of you can help me out with a question I have...

OK I started the HCG protocol - strict, Dr. Simeons-style - this past

January 14. 14th and 15th were load days, VLCD diet began the 16th.

I loaded like CRAZY; I took in about 200+ fat grams per day, I was so

afraid of getting hungry so I probably went overboard but I can say

that for the first 5 days I had virtually no hunger. And the little

hunger I did have was easily manageable.

Now I am on Day 10 of the VLCD and ready to eat dirt, if it was

possible, because of how hungry I get. Not just 'emotional' hunger -

I'm talking, my whole body feels like rubber, I get lightheaded

standing up and I feel NOTHING like I did when I first started...

it's getting so discouraging because I was doing so well and so close

to my goal...

I am a 5 foot 7 inch female and started the protocol at 142.2lbs; my

highest weight after Load Day #2 was 145.4, and as of this morning I

am at 131.2 lbs. I wanted to hit 125 lbs on this but I am praying

this hunger goes away...

Anyone else experience hunger LATER in the protocol?? If so please

advise, I'll listen to anything!!

PS: I was actually so hungry and so dizzy yesterday I had an EXTRA

150g of beef, 7 Grissini breadsticks plus an extra fruit - and I

still lost .8 lbs by this morning - which is good but I dont' want to

make a habit of cheating!
