I haven't heard of this HCG, can you tell me is there a downside? Is it safe, and do I need to eat specific foods, or just general wise choices without special lists of legal or Not legal, foods? This is a tough one for me, but with the right motivation, I suppose I could limit my choices if I don't feel the hunger as much. And how does it help you lose? Can you direct me to more info? Thanksbunches, J

Hi there. I would suggest reading the Pounds and Inches Manuscript by Dr Simeons.

I must be honest and tell you that it is very strict, but well worth the strictness. My body is starting to function properly in about a week's time of being on the HCG Diet. It is really unbelievable!!!

Here is the Manuscript.......

The HCG totally worked for me. I lost 21 lbs over three weeks. I lost about a pound per day. I've been off for three days now, eating the same 500 cal routine and haven't lost or gained an ounce. I have to go for the next three weeks on a low carb, but more liberal eating regimen to keep the metabolism up. Then, as soon as I can, I'm doing another cycle (probably a longer one). I was never hungry and I'm a big guy. I went from 248 to 227 and I wasn't tired, crabby, sleepy, or hungry. I used the sublingual HCG platinum drops. I haven't been able to lose weight in so long. I'm so happy right now.

that was really helpful for me! thanks so much! I was getting concerned cause starting my second week my weight loss went from 2-3lbs a day to 2-3oz a day, i thought i was doing something wrong, but from what i've been reading and what you showed, it really slows down from here on out. I feel better now!

I am doing an apple day today. I have been at the same weight for 5 days with no cheats. I am barely eating due to tooth ache.

I am going to make myself some more apple sauce when I get home.

I have had a rough few days. I followed to the letter but gained pound and then a full pound. so I decided to do a load day and went up a pound and a half. I am back on the 500 cal today and hope to see results tomorrow. My hubby has been reminding me that 11 pounds lost is a great thing and to not dwell on the gain. but darn I was so hoping to be 20 lbs down by now. Patience I guess.

I went up by 1/2 a lb. on Sunday and stayed the same on Monday, so I did a steak day yesterday--8 oz New York--yummy!!, and today I am back to my lowest weight, originally reached on 7/30, so that makes 11.5 lbs. total since I started on 7/19.

EDIT: Since my original posting, I was re-reading the Pounds and Inches manuscript and discovered my memory deceived me. The "steak day" is how you reset yourself if you gain two or more pounds from your lowest weight after the end of a session--it is NOT supposed to be used interchangeably with the "apple day" that is meant to break a plateau!!! Oh well, never claimed my memory was worth a hoot!!!

To those on the premixed homeopathic HCG. Monitor your consumption and supply closely, to avoid running out before you are finished with your VLCD session. I ordered what appeared to be enough for a 42 day protocol, but when I started on my second bottle about a week earlier than it said I would, I decided it was time to order more, so I did. It arrived yesterday and I am still working on the last bottle of my original order.

I am not having any difficulty with the limited calories, BUT, I have learned, DON'T go near the grocery store if you are feeling hungry already. And when you do, keep your eyes straight ahead if you have to walk through an "aisle of temptation" to get to the produce or meat departments!!!:laugh: :laugh: My other problem has been wanting to munch on multiple breadsticks or Melba's late at night. I am going to try a new tactic today and not have any of them at all today and see if that helps.

If anyone else is having trouble with the breadsticks, let me know how you dealt with it, please.!!

Welcome to newbies.

Lioness, I am sorry to hear about your plateau. Hope your toothache is resolved soon. Hang in there.

Yes, small gains and losses are to be expected. I don't know if it was a good idea to do another load in the middle of protocol and then go back to the 500.

I would just stick to protocol from here on out.

I'm on day 7 today, and I have lost 6 lbs. I'm really happy with how great I feel. I have more energy and I am realizing all the crap I ate before and how this is going to be a lifestyle change for me and my family.

So I am off the wagon. After my TOM issues a week have starting I have not been able to get right since and have put on all but 2lbs back on. I still have mixed HCG and some that I have not mixed yet. I don't know what to do, should I start again on not. I am so worried about something going wrong now I think I have a mental block on the whole protocol. I have re-read pounds and inches and It does not really say how to handle this, just to up the calories if it is long the 4 days. Do I re-load on go bakc to a VLCD? Man I really need to get it together.

I'd advise against doing another load day in the middle of Phase 2. I'd be afraid that the abnormal fat that is saturating your blood now plus the fat you intake during your gorge day would cause excessive weight gain. Just go back on protocol and you should be fine. Did you stop taking your HCG during your heaviest TOM days? Brittany threw that notion out and just kept taking the HCG during hers. She didn't want to get out of the habit of taking it.

I have TOM right now also and I have kept on going with the treatments...............I haven't lost pounds, but I am still losing inches. My weight is holding steady at 210.0

Rob-

Are you certain about no repeats? It only says this - in regards to your second meal.


"Dinner : The same four choices as lunch"

You know, I was under the impression that you weren't supposed to have the same meal 2x in a row either so I've been sticking to that. But when I referred back to the manuscript, this is what I found:

"In America, therefore, low-grade veal should be used for one meal and fish (excluding all those species such as herring, mackerel, tuna, salmon, eel, etc., which have a high fat content, and all dried, smoked or pickled fish), chicken breast, lobster, crawfish, prawns, shrimps, crabmeat or kidneys for the other meal."

So I'm led to believe that you just shouldn't have BEEF 2x in a row due to the fat-content. Any other interpretations on that one?

Yeah, I understand where you get that..............The funny thing is, I have my best losses when I get more beef. I think it is because I eat grass fed beef and it has more CLA which aids in fat burning.

I think there is something wrong with my HCG now................bottle is half gone and using it the same as I have been, but the hunger is coming back.

I ordered another type and it shipped today. Won't be here until next week sometime.................... :sad: :sad: :sad:

What am I to do until then?????
