BECKY’S EXPERIENCE WITH:

THE P3TOLIFE PROGRAM DURING PHASE 3 OF THE HCG PROTOCOL

What were your biggest concerns when contemplating going into P3?

Gaining weight back quickly was my biggest concern.  I read how quickly your body can gain after going off HCG if you are not careful that I didn’t want to go off of it.  I was also concerned with going back to my old eating habits. I’m an all or nothing girl. I will go all in on a diet and hardly eat anything or say heck with it and eat everything thinking I can never have it again.

If you were to explain to an hCGer in just a few sentences why the P3 program has been valuable to you, what would you tell them?

P3tolife was not just valuable but invaluable.  I never thought about adding macros back slowly and gradually after losing weight before so your metabolism can adjust but it is genius and it works.  I also never knew that you could eat so much food with so much taste and still keep the calories/macros low.

What did the P3 program provide to you that you feel like you didn’t have before without it in past Phase 3s?

Well, this was my first time ever going on HCG so it’s my first P3.  But I’ve been on plenty of diets and never transitioned from diet to lifelong eating. Here is what this P3 program provided that I wouldn’t have done on my own:

1. Eat to hunger
2. I never ate fat before not even to saute vegetables
3. I found knew spices I never knew I liked
4. Learned how to cook better and discovered I enjoy cooking  
5. Had a lot of variety in the past I would have just kept trying to eat plain chicken and steamed broccoli until I would get sick of it then cave into temptations

Did you have to do any correction days during P3 this time and if so, what do you think was the cause and how did your correction day(s) go?

I am still in shock that I did NOT do one correction day on my entire 3 weeks on P3!!!! I would literally close my eyes and take a deep breath every morning thinking my weight would be higher especially when I went into weeks 2 and 3 and to my surprise, it pretty much stayed exactly the same.

I lost 2 pounds during Week 1 and that’s where my weight stayed 2 pounds less than my LIW.  It never even got back to my LIW.

After completing the 3 week P3 I went on vacation out of state and came back weighing my LIW which was 2 pounds more than I had maintained during P3.  So I had gained 2 pounds on vacation. I decided to go back to week 1 recipes and within 4 days I had lost the 2 pounds.

I planned out what I was going to eat on vacation and used the food suggestions on the vacationing video (epic bars, macadamia nuts, salads or bunless burgers at restaurants ) and felt like that went well.  

However, I did drink alcohol and I learned that I was not ready for that yet. I overdid it on our last night and then made bad food choices. I think all of my 2 pounds came due to the alcohol so I have decided for now that it is not worth it. I may have a glass of wine now and then but I can’t drink hard liquor anymore.

I think knowing that I could always do a steak day and had even planned on doing one on P3 gave me a piece of mind but I never had to actually do it.  I even prepared by watching your video. The one thing that really stuck out is when you explained that gaining a few pounds in a few days isn’t all fat just like doing a steak day and losing a few pounds isn’t losing all fat.  For some reason that made a lot of sense and helped ease my all or nothing mentality that I used to have.

I almost didn’t weigh myself the next day after getting back from vacation but I’m glad I did.  For me when I do not weigh myself I start telling lies to myself then bad habits begin creeping in again.  It’s just one cookie, or one handful of goldfish, etc. I wasn’t planning on losing the 2 pounds so quickly either which took the pressure off as well.  I was gone a week and thought it would take an entire week to lose but to my surprise, it came off quickly.

Can you share your tangible results from following the P3tolife program? – how your weight has been, while following the P3 program?

My LIW was 135 after week P3 week 1 it went down to 133 and stayed there during pretty much the entire P3 program​.  It would sometimes go down to 132 for a day or two then back to 133 or 134 but mostly stuck at 133.

​I did lose more inches during the P3 program as well.  My clothes fit better now than they did at my LIW. ​In fact I wish I would have waited to buy new pants after finishing P3.  

How did you feel about the portion sizes & taste of the P3 meals? Did the portions and taste of the food make any difference in how you felt about eating/relationship with food while on p3? If you still felt hungry, how did you adapt it to add calories?
