in Health and Weight Loss
The HCG diet seem to come up here at least once per day.
So I would like to hear from anyone that has managed to keep the weight off for 6 months to a year or more.

**FYI I have NO plans to try anything other than my net 1200 calories and exercise.**

Im just really curious since everyone 'knows' someone that had XYZ experience with it.

    My diet consists of these magic pills, and oh, by the way consume 500 calories.

    Its still pretty new. I've heard women say it messes up their cycle which leads me to believe it messes with your fertility so I'd consider this a no-go for anyone who may still want to conceive....why take the chance?

    Seriously - no judgement coming from me if it worked. I dont want to scare off potential posters.
    I just only hear about people 'starting' the diet. Not maintaining the weightloss.

    I figured at least one or two people should be able to defend it with sustained loss...right?

    I will take that beer!

    i did. i did a full round. i was on a modified version of 800/cal a day instead of 500. it was great. since i was very limited on cals i learned to make great choices! i eat veggies way more now and much less carbs. i'm on round 2 now.

    down 15 lbs and haven't put any back on. it's been about 8 months

    this is a good point and i've heard the concerns for this too. HcG is used in fertility treatments but at something like 100x more per doses than the diet uses.
    i never had any problems w any TOM issues but everyone is different!

    I don't know if it's difficult for you to lose weight, and I am not judging your choice of diets at all. I have lost 25lbs in 7mths doing nothing but eating better and going to the gym.....
