Stephanie - good response! FYI - take it or leave it . .. I started my 1st round of HCG about where you started - I was at 184.8 on June 13th, 2009. I successfully lost 25lbs on my first round of HCG and have lost an additional 8 on round 2 so far. I have not experienced fatigue, hunger, illness. In fact, the only negative…

First things first - If you are really only 4.5 lbs away from your goal - this is NOT the diet for you. You likely do not have enough abnormal fat (as described in the protocol) to have any measurable success with HCG. BEFORE YOU CONSIDER IT PLEEEEEEASE READ "Pounds and Inches" by Dr Simeons - it is the plan you should…

Well said Lucky. Although I appreciate the point, I, of course, would not compare HCG to methamphetamine. I have yet to be convinced of the dangers of HCG - but that, of course, is why I am still using it. Momtomalia makes a good point too: learning and living healthy eating and exercise habits are vital to the long term…

Where can I find more information on these deaths?

Why do people who know nothing about HCG assume its expensive? I agree with you about one thing though, I will stick with what is working . . . Have you updated your ticker lately. . . it says "0" - but your pictures don't suggest you have 109lbs to lose. Unless you behind the camera taking the picture (at the beach).…

This is some really good advice.

oooo - I just found this link on another thread: http://www.ptcfrankston.com/doc/newsletter/PTC_Newsletter_IssueNo37.html

I have Optimum Gold Standard Whey in Double Rich Chocolate and really like that. I just ordered it in vanilla and chocolate mint but haven't tried them yet. I get them from GNC.com

During the low cal weeks I only run one day a week. Once the low cal phase is done, I am back to 3 days running and 2-3 days lifting each week. HCG low cal phase, like any other 'diet', is a tool to be used toward reaching the goal of being at a healthy weight and breaking the bad habits that got us fat in the first place.

I would advise anyone considering any diet to read up on it thoroughly, regardless of the plan. The FDA does not support the use of HCG for weight loss, but does approve its use for fertility treatment and the dose is MUCH higher, therefore the risks of thrombosis and OHSS would be higher. I am not attacking you, just…

My opinion: don't cut out the weight training. In fact - my latest read is "The new rules of lifting for women" by Lou Schuler AND "the perfect body diet" by Cassandra Forsythe. The new rules book suggests that many women lift too light and too long. Go heavy and brief. The perfect body diet is about a healthy balance of…

Natalie - please research the diet before you bash it. The 500 cals is short term as is the supplement. Stopping the supplement doesn't cause weight gain . . overeating does.

Personally, I shoot for 1g protein per lb of body weight. The POSSIBLE health risks of eating too much protein almost always involve someone with compromised kidney function to start with. Also, it is recommended that women on high protein diets take extra calcium because the acids released by the body as it digests…

Russ - U don't like it? Don't do it. Glad you had success doing it your way. It has been a miracle for me and I have never felt better. I second that. There is a risk of death associated with driving a car too. or flying. or walking across a street. Or breathing in an urban environment. etc . . . Like superdad said - this…

Sorry - I didn't mean to suggest there was HCG in hormonal birth control pills, only to compare the use of each as a hormone therapy. Birth control has a known risk of blood clots.

I can't think of a way to put this more delicately, but if no additional information about this 'possibly HCG related death" is not available, then the only option is to disregard it as heresay.

Becca - I respect your firm stand against the diet. Please understand that I am not asking for details to cause her distress, but if there is proof of a danger I want to be made aware of it from a source I feel is accurate. If she doesn't respond, I have no information on which to conduct any additional research. I don't…
