a glass of wine and/or champagne

I am on Day 18 of Phase I of the protocol and realized I did not take hcg while I was gorging. I've lost 12.5 lbs since I started the 500 cal diet April 5 but would I have lost more had I take the HCG during my three day gorge? Also, should I stay on the 500 cal diet and continue taking HCG for three additional days and then maintain 500 cal for three days w/o HCG? How do I know if I have wheat allergies? After the no starch phase am I allowed to eat any bread products such as flax seed bread with net carbs 6 grams for two slices? I will celebrate my 50th Birthday,May 17, three days before I finish Phase II, will I ruin everything if I have a glass of wine and/or champagne or two and flourless chocolate cake? Finally, once I'm off the low starch phase am I allowed to have kidney beans and garbanzo beans?

Don't know. It takes 3 days for the injections to kick in. We don't know how long it takes for homeopathic to kick in.

Also, should I stay on the 500 cal diet and continue taking HCG for three additional days and then maintain 500 cal for three days w/o HCG?
If you wish.

How do I know if I have wheat allergies?
You go without wheat for 2 weeks and then eat wheat all day long and see how you feel for 72 hours.

After the no starch phase am I allowed to eat any bread products such as flax seed bread with net carbs 6 grams for two slices?
You would do well to continue to keep your carb intake to moderation and eat carbs mostly from produce.

I will celebrate my 50th Birthday,May 17, three days before I finish Phase II, will I ruin everything if I have a glass of wine and/or champagne or two and flourless chocolate cake? No you won't ruin anything.

Finally, once I'm off the low starch phase am I allowed to have kidney beans and garbanzo beans? Yes
