HAHAHAHA :drinker:

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????? LOL

just curious, do you have any hair?

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.""

okay dude no offence but do you have that save on your computer so you can just clip and paste at a seconds notice?? faster than a speeding bullet

If your considering using, or are currently using HCG and the associated diet check out these links;

You kids have fun now!

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!!!

It is pretty expnsive too. My clinic charges $54 per week for HcG and appetite supressant (phentermine).

um i thought part of what the hcg was supposed to do was make you not hungry. then why would they give Phentermine
