hcg friends

you won't find them here. hcg is unhealthy and illegal in the united states, and this website doesn't condone unsafe practices.

You need to research a healthier choice in fitness and well being. Please choose the best option....eating well and getting some exercise. There is no magic bullet to weight loss/living well/fitness other than getting off your rump and doing it.

Agreed, theres a reason they have to hack people facebook to make them post fake success stories.

I am not on it I want to know about it and it is not illigal if it is prescribed I thought. it is offered at the doctors office I go to. I wanted learn about it is all

Not worth learning about, its a fad hun.

It is illegal in the US, it is not approved by the FDA for use as a weight loss supplement. If your doctor is pushing it, I'd find a new doctor.

No trying to tell you what to do and results vary but I tried the HCG injections for one month and yes you will loose weight, because you barely eat and you have to be very exact with you foods.

Down fall, I lost tons of hair and it took almost a year for it to grow back. I was always weak and couldnt really do normal activities.

I think the very low calorie hcg 'plan' is generally only recommended for the morbidly obese, as the risks of continuing to be morbidly obese may outweigh the risks of synthetic hormones and very low calorie/nutrition intake. Please believe me when I say you don't need to go to those drastic measures to lose the 30 lbs you want to lose. You can do it by sticking to MFP's recommendations and being diligent about it. I noticed your profile says you don't want to be 'soft' - I totally get that b/c that's something I'm working on myself. The thing about the hcg plan is that it has you eating so few calories that it recommends you NOT exercise (b/c you really don't have the energy to spare) - by eating so little and not working out your muscles, you are at risk for losing a larger amount of muscle than you would if you went the more 'moderate' route of the MFP plan. Not everything you lose during weightloss is fat, you do lose some muscle, and the risk of losing larger amounts of muscle is higher when you're not exercising and using a large calorie deficit (i.e. eating very low calories). If you stick to MFP's recommendations and exercise, you will probably have better results in terms of not being so 'soft' when you get to your goal, b/c you will have a better chance of keeping more of the muscle mass that you currently have. You can do this w/o having to go to that extreme (and w/o having to go to that *expense* - imagine the healthy foods and exercise stuff you can buy with the money that would be spent on getting HCG from the dr).
