While Dr. Simeons states in Pounds and Inches that it is common for people to lose 1 to 2 pounds daily during the first week or so, this rate of weight loss does not continue throughout the protocol. He states this as well but most HCG companies work very hard to keep that quiet.
Here at ThinNow.com, we have chosen to make sure that people understand that weight loss slows after the first week and they can expect to see 1/2 to 1 pound AVERAGE daily loss over the VLCD phase. Men often lose closer to the 1 pound daily average; women tend to be closer to the 1/2 to 2/3 pound daily average.
