I'm new and doing HCG

Welcome to MFP, it is a great tool to help you.

I am on my 3rd day, and I am curious of some of the things you ate?

just curious whats HCG?

I don't know either, and it's advertised everywhere

I was on it...

hCG is the pregnancy hormone, it is supposed to help regulate where your body pulls fat. Since you're on a strict 500 calorie diet, the hCG will tell your body to pull fat from your body and not your food. Also, it's "supposed" to help with hunger pangs. In addition to this 500 cal diet of organic veggies, fruits and meat, you have to drink 1 gallon of water daily.

Several women in my office (who are RN's incidentally), has lost an incredible amount of weight.

Some people say the injections of the hCG are more effective that the drops.

I did not have a good experience, I developed heart arrhythmia, and decided it wasn’t for me. But during my week of the diet, I did lose about 10 pounds.

People talk about the apple day… When you’re on this diet, your body does plateau. And you use this apple day to shock your system.

Before you start the “fasting” you have 2 days of binge eating, where you eat what ever you want. They say it helps get your body primed for the weight loss because you’re on the hCG during this time, and when you start “fasting” the hormone tricks your brain to pull energy from the stored fat and not the food.

Each "cycle" of the diet is only 28 days. After those 28 days you have to eat a healthy diet to "stablize" your system for several weeks. Then you can do the diet over again, if you want to lose more weight.

I probably didn’t explain this very well… But those are the high points.
