I do feel like I have one arm too many...0 -

I do have to say, having my leg amputated would make me lose more weight, though.0 -
Eating healthy and exercise is probably a better idea yes? You learn better eating habits that way, keep more muscle, get to eat more, and have energy.

good point. like with any diet that is sponsored by NEW EXTREMELY EXTREME AND NEW NEW NEW Doritos, you need to be careful not to overdo it. (hijack complete)0 -
I never said I was doing it. I probably won't. But I wanted to hear what people who have actually tried it think. The ones who actually tried it and have messaged me it's about 50/50 results. Either it worked great but it was super hard or it worked great and it was super hard and then I gained all the weight plus some back. Not what I want. I'll probably stick to my 1- 1.5 lb/week loss plan and exercise and eat healthy like I've been doing for the past several months. And eventually I'll lose the weight I want and be happy with myself.
With the amount of weight you want to lose, you could probably easily do 2 lbs per week for awhile. If you add in exercise (not sure what your current routine is) you could eat a bit more, too. It seems like you're doing pretty good with the MFP plan already. If you're just feeling like something needs to change, you could always go see a registered dietician for suggestions on how to change your diet for more results, or start seeing a personal trainer (again, not sure of your current routine) for specific advice on how to shape your body through exercise.0 -
Why do people think they nerd to "jump start" their weight loss? What's the hurry? If you're like me, you put on weight over a lifetime of bad eating habits and/or little or no exercise? So why expect to drop the weight overnight?
Work on changing your eating habits and, if possible, get moving. The weight will come off when the cost is damm good and ready.0 -
The FDA has actually banned the sale of hCG in the US because it is so dangerous..... If you are wise you will stay away from it!0

Well, I am on the MFP to lose 2lbs/week but I tend to stick more towards the 1.5/week for some reason. I run intervals 3x a week for 45 minutes and walk 30 mintues 2x week and zumba and DVD videos when I have the time... oh and chase around my 2 year old
One of my best friends is actually a Registered Dietician and she's helped me out but still thinks 1200 cal/day is not enough. I know I should have asked her about the hCG diet but I didn't and after all this I probably wont! 0 -
I've read that it also teaches your body to maintain on smaller portions and less calories. So you develop healthy eating habits along the way.
You really want to force yourself to live off 500 calories a day forever? I'd rather train my body to maintain on the most calories possible.0 -
Why is this garbage still up? If mods are going to take down the fun threads, they should remove this trash too.0

I'm not going to run on a pregnancy board and ask what people think about me smoking while I'm pregnant and expect pleasant replies.
That's the perfect analogy.
Haha, thanks! I tried :-)0 -
You could always take the money you were going to use for the hCG and put it towards a Personal Trainer and a Nutritionist. You would end up losing weight at a pace you could maintain as well as gaining the knowledge to see you to your goal. Just my .01.0

This thread will be locked soon. Don't waste your time arguing here.

My mom did it and had to stop after a month because she lost alot of hair and her body went into starvation mode. As soon as she stopped she gained all the weight that she lost from it and more, even though she walked everyday for almost an hour. She doesn't recomend it and neither do I.0

You have to report it for them to know it's here. They're not mind-readers. AND they're volunteers with other jobs. So do that...0 -
It sucked. They say the HCG keeps you from being hungry - I was ready to chew on my hand...and I might have a few times....
I lost 10lbs the first week - HUNGRY THE WHOLE TIME - and then I had one off day (I added up the calories - 2200 for the day, which based on my BMR, would have been enough for me to be dead even for the day) and I gained 4 lbs. So, whatever it is, it's smoke and mirrors. There's no way to go off it without gaining the weight back.0 -
Throwing my two pennies in.
If someone recommended that you become temporarily anorexic for a while, just to jump start your metabolism, you'd think they were insane.
That is, essentially, what this diet is. 500cals a day is not enough to keep my 5yr old going.
The only reason that people flock to it are the magical letters....HCG. They consider it a miracle drug. It really isn't.
The reason that the pro-HCG loons are inboxing you rather than posting is not because they're afraid of hateful replies, it's because as soon as a mod sees more than a couple of replies advocating or advertising the HCG 'diet', the thread gets shut down.
As is everything in life, it is your choice who you listen to and whose advice you take. I only plead with you to choose wisely. :flowerforyou:0 -
I am on the diet right now (this is my second round) the first round I lost 20 lbs. This time I am hoping for 20 more! I eat 500 calories a day accompanied by the hCG drops and I have been very impressed. A lot of my family has done it as well. The least that someone lost in a month is 17 lbs. Good luck with what ever you decide! 0

That's really true....:flowerforyou: I'm not taking it as attacking you, really. I haven't tried it, but just after hearing some of the horror stories, I never would. On MFP, most people (yeah, most...) really DO care about others well-beings. They just want to see you succeed in being HEALTHY, that's all. 0 -
I personally know two women that I work with who tried it...worked great and they lost alot at first....but if you go off it for even a day and barely eat...you'll gain weight...so you have to stay on that nonstop to keep weight off. I think it's very unhealthy and not realistic.:happy:0

haha....people want to delete the threads?? My goodness0

pinkie promise? LOL
I'M MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! stick your head out the window and shout three times (probably burn a few calories and feel better!)0 -
While it's still up, I had a friend who did the diet. She lost 14lbs then she went off the diet, she had thyroid issues, metabolism issues, and now she has a gluten allergy and guess what she gained all the weight back and more. She used to be smaller that me and now she's WAY heavier than me.
Losing weight the old fashioned way isn't fun and easy, if it was we'd all be thin. Just eat better nutritious meals and exercise. It may come off slowly but it will come off and stay off.
Good Luck0
