After reading the several other HCG plans allow some coconut oil, I started adding MCT oil in my morning coffee several days ago as I was running out of serious energy doing my farm chores; adding up to 40 g of saturated fat caused my energy level to zooooom. As for the drops, last week I began forgetting to take doses spaced well apart, then forgetting a dose here and there, until Friday when I remembered only one dose. On Saturday I decided to stop... there wasn't much point to continuing them since I was forgetting 1-2 doses every day.
I'll continue VLCal (without drops and with MCT in the morning) until Thurs, then go LC for 3 weeks per protocol, maintaining the last VLCal weight within 2lbs. Haven't decided whether to do P4 for three weeks yet. I think those 3-6 weeks of maintenance within +/- 2 lbs is important to refeed my body and give it a break from weightloss, and also to learn to maintain a certain weight.
I plan to do another round after maintenance, though probably not strict protocol since I need extra fat.
