I dont care who ya are that ****s funny....you ordered a Triple Red Eye Americano...and chased it with a red bull what did you think was going to happen?

I would disagree with this topic. Setting aside one day a week where you and the family or you and your spouse enjoy movie and pizza night, or you go out to a nice dinner, and enjoy a dessert together, or 100's of other food centric entertainment options is not only healthy but it is part of the spice of life, and very…

To those of you who are thinking about trying this...do not read this forum and let the posters deter you. People simply can not wrap their heads around the idea that REAL HCG actually works, and has worked for 50+ years when used in conjunction with the directions as provided by Dr. Simeon in "pounds and inches" which is…

Yes, as I am sure those people who have lost over 100 pounds think it is a scam as well.

Yes and then the naysayers get mad when you provide them with TWO DOUBLE BLIND studies that say it DOES work...even you agreed that there is as much evidence against as for and there needs to be new testing.

A fad diet that has apparently lasted 50+ years.

You may "think" that but you would be wrong. There is as much evidence that it works as there is that it doesnt, your right the 10s of thousands of people who have had tons of success need to learn on their own.

Well at least this is a primary source, but what you are saying is that you did HCG, but failed to follow protocol...pretty sure the cookie diet is nowhere on the protocol. It is a starvation diet, a starvation diet in terms of food being put in your and that is possible with minimal muscle loss or hunger BECAUSE of the…

Your friend could have done weight watchers, phentermine, or good old diet and exercise and if she refuses to change her lifestyle then she will always gain it back. The protocol is built to embrace healthy moderate eating, it is not simply a lose the weight, do the protocol and then go back to life as normal, there is a…

Another second hand story, I know plenty of people who have done this that have lost 100+ pounds and kept it off for over three years now....and you can read those peoples stories...or watch them, on myfitnesspal, HCGforums.com, and even youtube.

1) I wonder what they were using as HCG, as most drops sold over the counter have zero HCG in them 2) I have to wonder if ANY diet or weight loss method, to include exercise and eating healthy would work for these Women if they simply refused to change their overall lifestyle 3) I have to wonder if they actually completed…

There is a whole different side to this with several double blind studies proving that it is in fact effective. Also I trust the FDA and their decisions about as much as I trust any other government agency. Just because the FDA has issued a statement doesnt meant these doctors are wrong, also the HCG can be taken…

For those of you interested, the website below was set up by a gentleman who used HCG and lost significant weight on it, his video blogs are well documented on you tube. He started selling the supplied because he was sick of people getting gouged for HCG and the supplies when they are actually very cheap...any how it…

That is a South African study, but notice how again they did not address body fat loss as opposed to muscle atrophy? Why do they always leave that out? I find it odd that they saw no benefit in hunger reduction. I would love to see the full report.

The protocol is designed to slowly reintroduce normal eating over a six week time frame, it is ultimately up to the individual to change their lifestyle, HCG is just a vehicle to get you started in the right direction. I would argue that someone could eat right for several years and then fall back into old habits just as…

I cant answer your questions, all I can do is direct you to the links a few pages back in the thread. But even those studies arent going to answer your questions. Bottom line is that there really has not been an in depth study done on this hormones true effect on weight loss and why it works, there are a lot of questions…

dumb double post

Yes I am actually working on my PHD in fact but it is not even close to the medical field.

Id like to see something statistically significant with like a couple hundred participants. How would you control the diet though? In order for the study to be fair they would have to follow Simeon's protocol, as described in the 1950's to a tee. Alot of the studies that were conducted simply failed to follow that protocol…

See the problem I have with studies, or the lack of studies conducted in the United States is that the only way a drug manufacturer is going to research a medication is if they can profit off of it. Because HCG is a hormone it can not be patented, and much of the money associated with the research neccesary for FDA…

Did you read the protocol? There is a scientific reason cited behind the "binge" as you put it. Even amidst those who are obese, many have dieted so long that they have put their body in an unhealthy state of starvation, causing their good fat reserves, such as the pads of the feet and hands, as well as other areas that…

You should ask the other study the same questions. It is a little older, so maybe it would be hard to find a corresponding email. I believe their disclaimer at the end is required by the FDA, because, while FDA has not approved the use of HCG for obesity and weight loss, a medical doctor can use a drug for a use not…

It was not easy to find lol...I consider myself "THEE GOOGLE MASTER" lol, and it took some serious digging. Articles are easy to find, actual research studies are not so easy. One study I really like is the one with the before and after pics. One of the Dr's in one of those studies owns an HCG clinic, so I was told by the…

Directly from Dr. Simeons manuscrips "we compromise by insisting that they eat frequently of highly concentrated foods such as milk chocolate, pastries with whipped cream sugar, fried meats (particularly pork), eggs and bacon, mayonnaise, bread with thick butter and jam, etc." Seems like starchy and sugary junk foods in…

No, I would not take it as being mean, if you browse throught the thread, a few pages back you will find where I pasted several links where Dr.s where in disagreement as to the benefits of using HCG. Additionally, I also provided links to two seperate double blind studies that were conducted which both proved a significant…

I know where you are coming from, but I think that is a very broad generalization. My first round was with homeopathic drops and was succesful, also those who mix their own drops from HCG receive the same benefits that would be received from injections. There are definately some scammers and false advertising in the drops…

I wouldnt buy it off of ebay. If you dont mind needles and choose to do the injections I would buy the HCG from reliable pharmacy (online), the syringes and pads from Amazon, and the bacteriostatic water and mixing vials from Mountainside Medical (Online). Or...you could go to a clinic which they will do everything for you…

If you follow the protocol appropriately you will learn healthy eating, actually even during the vlcd you are eating clean and healthy. The protocol is very strict on reintroducing foods, and the amount of the food in both of the follow on phases to the VLCD. I dont know your friend but if she gained it all back…

Couldnt agree with you more...you MUST have a support network...one of the reasons I hang out on here...plus Im a stubborn mule of a person sometimes and arguing with people about HCG's effectiveness just makes me want to be more succesful to prove them wrong (regardless of the fact that their opinion really doesnt matter,…

Probably too late now...but there are NO caloric regulations for the loading days. Give in to your every craving. The loading days are basically your oppourtunity to get out every little craving you could possibly have. In fact the protocol mentions that the higher the fat and sugar the better...and do midnight snacks to.…
