HCG Diet

I have several friends who have done this and it has been very successful. You should call Tami Slade... My friends have done this using drops instead of shots... Her number is ###-###-####. She has the entire protical (sp) and it is much less expensive than the centers I know of and the results have been the same. I am going to be starting in six weeks. I have just started an exercise regime and I must have that in place before I begin and I want to do it hand in hand with that. I also consulted my doctor before hand. Hope this helps.

I did it - I lost 27 pounds. I am about to do again with summer coming. Don't need to lose much, but you know - we all want to be thinner.

First time I did it was last August and I went thru my naturalpath - this time a gal at school ordered 2X from Amazon, so looking into that.

Only advice I can say is - BE MENTALLY READY! It's not a lot of food and very restricted.

I also used these http://www.TrimInchesToday.com and lost over 12 inches!

I agree with Dana. I too have heard negative things. I moved to a city where it is very popular. I have been helping women and men lose weight the safe way. Because diets DO NOT work. Most will agree it is a complete lifestyle change. Low-Glycemic meals are the key. We just incorporate it into our lifestyle and are able to stay healthy as well as lose any unwanted pounds. Just please do your research.

I know several people on this diet the are extremely happy because they are losing wieght really really fast like 30lbs a month. My thing is they are not building muscle their skin is saggy and they are in all honesty starving themselves but paying $100 a vial for something the can not eat while taking. If you only eat 500 calories a day you will lose weight no matter what. I recommend as a girl who also has weight to lose is start sparkspeople.com they are helpful and free. I didnt notice how little I was eating till I started keeping track on this website. Also they give you a jump start meal plan with your meals listed out mine is recommended 1500 to 1700 calories a day with the work out schedule I am currently doing. It has helped.
The one question I have for you and this diet is do you want to just loose weight or do you want to get a better body and health for life. I dont see the HCG pills helping with anything other the quick shed of weight the normally returns with extra.

There was a question about it yesterday - you might want to scroll back through and see the responses.

I'd STRONGLY encourage against it.

Most dieticians will tell you that only people who are bedridden should have 1200 calories or less/day. Your body can't survive long-term on this few calories. However, it will go into starvation mode and adjust your metabolism accordingly, and when you resume normal eating habits, you'll regain all the weight you want to lose and then some.

My advice is to seek the help of a dietician to come-up with a specialized meal plan (or work with Weight Watchers) to pick something to help you lose the weight and sustain it.

Good luck! I hope you find something that is both effective and safe.

My best friend purchased the "drops" in the fall from a doctor here for $700+, she did it for 3 weeks, went insane, literally, and gave up. She said she didn't feel human, and she hated everyone around her. So there is $700 down the toilet!

I am a Health Coach and Personal Coach and I say if you want to do it, then do it. I know many people who have done this including my mother. Its perfectly safe under a doctors care. Go to Protea in Tempe, Dr McCarthy or Dr Dye- they are great. Easy access off the 101 or the 60. In fact, after I stop nursing, if I don't drop the weight (and I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve) I will do it too. I think its about $600 or $100 a vial. DO NOT be cheap with this and buy over the internet. Regardless of what country you think you are buying from, it all is coming out of India & I think Singapore. You are paying for the regulated product and it is worth it. You do not want to put some crazy chemical in your body & do some serious damage. Be smart and go for it. It is permanent & you will love it!

I did it and lost 40 lbs. I started in Nov. and ended in Feb that is doing the 21 days on and then maint. I even did this through the holidays!! I know that there are a lot of negatives, but being overweight and having health issues lurking was a big factor. Since Feb I have only gained about 7 back, but that is because I took a few too many liberties!! Feel free to e-mail me and I will give you more details and info that I have. I personally ordered the drops online. It is not for everyone, but the weight is off and I feel very healthy now!!

I would also discourage you from doing that diet.
Let me know if you want a safe alternative.
