HCG Question of the Day-Broccoli and Coconut oil?
Can You Eat Broccoli and Coconut Oil on P2???
QUESTION:
My wife is doing this diet and she is on day 24 and has lost 16lbs. She had read on some other site that your not supposed to eat Broccoli during phase 2. Is that true? And also when can you use coconut oil? We are seeing mixed things on coconut oil that it can make you stall.
ANSWER:
Hi,
First off I would like to commend you on being a good support for your wife,and congrats on her success so far!
Now here is the confusion with the protocol. The original manuscript did not include broccoli or coconut oil. During the time I did my rounds I did not eat broccoli even though I do like it. I didn’t do the coconut oil either. I did take MCT oil which has the benefits like coconut oil. I have seen coconut oil effect some HCGers very well yet others it will cause a stall or gain. So all I can say is if she REALLY wants it she should try it with caution,journal when she has it and log the results. That way she can see how it will work or not for her. Now back to the broccoli. I have heard some HCGers say they do a plan that also has an increased calorie count per day of 800 and it includes broccoli. So again if your wife really wants it, do same with journaling.That is the best way to identify a common thread with what works and what should be avoided.
Hi Colleen! I love your vlogs, and find them so informative, and I love your personality as well… God Bless you! My name is Terri, and I am a 48 year old female from Orlando Florida… I heard about hcg from a friend who had amaing results with it years ago in a clinic, and so I googled it and found out you can now order it on line… Anyway, to keep this shorter, I ordered the Restorhcg from Swanson.com and decided to do my homework and give a good shot… Well, I did, and I am amazed at my results, and just how much better I feel… I feel very connected to you, because we share so many similar incidents on our journey… I was wanting to ask you… I am on Round1, Phase 3…day 6….. according to protocol, I don’t weight myself for personal reason, but know I have lost about 15lbs to date… I was about 25lbs overweight when I started… I have about 10-15 more lbs to lose to get to goal, and I’m anxious to start R2…. according to protocol, you should be on R3 for at least 21 days… Do you recommend staying on R3 for 21 days, or longer??? I’m impatient like you, and I’m anxious to start r2 to lose the last 10-15lbs…Thanks Colleen! Blessings xo
Hi Terri,
I highly respect those who follow the P3 protocol correctly. I just didn’t have the patience BUT what I do have is discipline 😉 So what you need to be ok with if you forge ahead of protocol schedule is you will ultimately still have to have a lot of food choice discipline in order to get your new size to lock in and want to stay small. That is what P3 is all about (locking in the new set point) so it will be difficult for your body to want to gain the weight back. At the time I looked at it like this – I was fine with the fact that I would have to take the time after hcg just as serious so I wouldn’t rebound. I am extremely blessed that what I now desire to eat is a lot different than it use to be. Even when I indulge I look forward to cleaner eating afterward simply because I feel so much better when I do.
Colleen =)
