Save yourself money and just eat 500 calories. Once you start doing it you will probably stop being hungry. Just watch out that you dont become anorexic.
If you like food then maybe eat and exercise the calories off instead.?0 -
Hi - I am onthis right now... But, I am only planning to go another 2 weeks. I got on the diet as an experiment. I had a hard time losing any weight with thyroid disease, whereas weight used to drop off me no problems. I have been on the diet for 2 weeks now and have lost about 8lbs. Most people lose far more in the beginning, but most people eat like ****. I eat generally healthy - only 1 soda a day IF at all, tons of water, and very balanced meals. In fact , the biggest change for me coming nito this was that I could only have 4.5oz of lean proten ./ meat source per day. I like to have meat at lunch and dinner. However, for the sake of the diet I am doing it as they specifiy. I am doing it under doctor supervision (hell no, not going to inject myself with something I bought overseas on the internet!!) and weigh in weekly. So far, I have very mixed feelings on it. On the one hand, I'm able to eat less and feel full and lose weight... but, I live terrified of what weight will come back when I am finished.
It is pretty expnsive too. My clinic charges $54 per week for HcG and appetite supressant (phentermine). I used the ap.sup. the first week but last week and beyond did not/am not. Honestly, I may only go another week to get to 21 days as is recommended for a so called "short round".
I've not noticed my clothes being looser, as again I've only lost 8lbs. I did eat lots of cake for my kid's birthday party one weekend and did not gain.
honestly, if you are looking for a jump start, I would say give it a try. BUT remember, I am giving this advice without seeing the end result, so I can't promise it will stay off. I AM glad that I do pay attention to food labels now, and can't believe half the crap I put into my body (IE carb %, fat grams, etc... the food science!).
I guess I could have used the money for a nutrionist, huh????? LOL0 -

You are probably going to gain it all back, one soda a day? They are 150 calories, that means you are eating 350 in food? I hope you are taking vitamins so you are not ruining your health even more. :S0 -

HCG actually doesn't do anything, the weight loss occurs from eating at ridiculously low levels
Stein et al Ineffectiveness of human chorionic gonadotropin in weight reduction: a double-blind study American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol 29, 940-948
"HCG does not appear to enhance the effectiveness of a rigidly imposed regimen for weight reduction"
Lijesen et al The effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the treatment of obesity by means of the Simeons therapy: a criteria-based meta-analysis Br J Clin Pharmacol. 1995 Sep;40(3):237-43
"there is no scientific evidence that hCG is effective in the treatment of obesity; it does not bring about weight-loss of fat-redistribution, nor does it reduce hunger or induce a feeling of well-being.""
also see; JAMA 236:2495–2497, 1976, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 29:940–948, 1976, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 12:230–234, 1963, S Afr Med J. 1990 Feb 17;77(4):185-9, West Journal of Medicine 127:461–463, 1977, Archives of Internal Medicine 137:151-155, 1977

Weight used to drop off me with no problems either...when I was a little younger, and before the Hypothyroid fairy decided to pay me a visit and become my lifelong friend.
Do yourself a favor and get off that crap. You'll save money and possibly your long term health. Search in the forums for others' experiences. You can lose weight with "thyroid disease". It might take you a little longer than some, but it can be done. I am proof of this.0 -
If your considering using, or are currently using HCG and the associated diet check out these links;

You didn't get overweight in 3 months, you're not going to get to a healthy weight in 3 months and be able to maintain that as a lifestyle, just saying.
So so true!!!0 -
