Has anyone tried the Medshape/HGC injections? How did it make you feel? Did the injections help you to control your diet better? I know it is a very strict diet and I am worried about being hungry all the time.

I know a couple of different people who used the injections and they were very costly. Yes, they put you on a very low calorie diet, about 500 calories. That's not all necessary! I've managed to lose over 30 pounds very effortlessly and easily and I can tell you...I wasn't hungry. I am willing to help others that would like to do the same. There's no pre-packaged foods to buy but you must be willing to be coachable if you want results. Message me through my profile if interested.

Hi K.

I am currently doing HCG and LOVE it. I have NEVER been hunger, and I feel great. I do my HCG sublingually (under my tongue) I can't get up the nerve to give myself injections. I have lost 40 lbs in 2 1/2 months. I am extremely happy with HCG. I have tried a lot of other diets, exercise and just eating healthy and nothing else seemed to work for me. HCG is really easy. I have had NO side effects.

My brother-in-law tried this. VERY costly and non-refundable. And yes, he was hungry all the time. The program was doctor supervised but the calorie intake they had him on was very low. He was not able to stick to the diet. Honestly, I don't think I could have functioned with what they had him eating. You actually sound like me, 2 kids, work full time, exercise regularly and play sports. You didn't really say if your goal is to lose weight. I've finally realized that my new Mommy body is different than my pre-mommy body, not by much, just by a few pounds. Before you go ahead and take that step, think about what message you are giving your kids. It appears that you are a health conscience Momma and you are providing a good example for your kids regarding exercise. Can you just adjust your eating/drinking habits instead of taking the step to get injections? You don't have to be a size 0 to look good. It's all about how you carry yourself and your self confidence. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I would look into the program offered by the Center For True Harmony & Wellness. It's doctor supervised and I have heard people have had a lot of success. I've also heard that it's different from other hCG programs. www.trueharmonywellness.com I love all of the staff there.

Hi K.,
I did the HCG injections for two rounds with excellent success. It is unlike any diet you have ever experienced. Have you read the original manuscript Dr Simeon's Pounds and Inches and also Kevin Trudeau's book The Weight Loss Cure? Both are must reads before doing the diet. I don't know anything about MEdshape...The first round I did with a doctor who charged me $750 for the 43 day treatment and the second round I did by myself for close to $100 dollars so don't be afraid to look around for options. I have heard these clinics are charging sometimes close to $2000 for the treatment which is definitly highway robbery!
As far as the diet, it is very strict. But you will literally lose a pound or more a day in the beginning and usually 1/2 pound to .8 daily after the first couple of weeks. Don't worry about hunger, you will not be hungry. That is the miracle of this diet! It truly "eats" the abnormal fat you have stored and so you are not starving like other diets.
I did round one about a year ago, started late October and ended right before Christmas with a loss of 33 pounds. Round two I started in late February and ended right around Easter with another loss of 33 pounds. I have successfully been able to maintain the weight loss which is the best part!
Feel free to contact me with other questions. I love to tell people about this diet! My sister, my neighbor, my best friend, have all done it with the same amazing results!
