HCG -- What is this? Please help.

[wonderme]

Hi. Can someone tell me what HCG is being used for? Weight loss?

Is this different that HCG that is produced in pregnancy? How does it help with weight loss?

Thanks!

YES THIS IS THE SAME HCG, TO MY BEST UNDERSTANDING IT HELPS TO SHRINK FAT CELLS

I WORK IN A DR'S OFFICE AND WE DO THE HCG INJECTIONS. THE INJECTIONS "BURN"THE FAT OFF YOUR STOMACH AND HIPS. I STARTED IN JULY I WORE A TIGHT 20- HATE TO SAY IT BUT REALLY A 22- I DO MY OWN SHOTS ONCE A WEEK ALONG WITH B12 I NOW AM I SIZE 16 BUT I CAN GET INTO 14'S IF SOMEONE'S THERE TO LIFT ME OFF THE BED!!!LOL

you only do a shot once a week? This is what a clinic told me "LOADING DAY ARE THE FIRST TWO DAYS YOU START. ON DAY ONE AND TWO YOU TAKE A 250 IU  SHOT AND EAT ANYTHING YOU WANT AS THE HCG IS GETTING INTO YOUR SYSTEM. ON THE THIRD DAY YOU WILL START YOUR 500 CALORIES AND YOUR SMALL SHOT OF 125 IU. YOU WILL TAKE THE SMALL SHOT ON THE THIRD DAY AND FOURTH DAY.

FRIDAYS WE TAKE A DOUBLE SHOT OF 250 IU. THAT WILL LAST FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY SO WE DON’T HAVE TO TAKE INJECTIONS ON THE WEEKEND. YOU STILL STAY WITH TH 500 TO 600 CALORIES ON THOSE TWO DAYS.

NO ONE TAKES A SHOT ON SUNDAY. WE TRY TO KEEP OUR CALORIE INTAKE DOWN TO 1500 TO 2000 THAT DAY AND CONTIUNE THE WATER.

MONDAY YOU WILL START TAKING A SMALL SHOT MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AND A DOUBLE ON FRIDAY."

well, that sounds pretty complicated. I take B-12/hcg once a week at a clinic and just stick to around a 1000-1100 cal a day diet every day. I've been doing it since June and have lost about 40 lbs.

I also drink a lot of water and exercise regularly.

Hi, I was just wondering how you go about getting a doctor to give you the shots?

Can someone tell me where to get the shots. I am in Raleigh NC. And do the pills of HCG work just as good? Please help me.

I could not find any in Raleigh. I'm in Wake Forest. I'm going to follow the Simeons protocol and administer the injections myself. If you find someone in Raleigh let me know. You may want to search for weight loss management clinics.....
