Well, I've been on the HCG diet for 8 days as of today and I've lost a total of 12lbs. It would have been more if I hadn't cheated last week. I lost a total of 13.6lbs by day 4+2 days of gorging. I guess I felt a moment of weaknessWeakness. I started at 196lbs and went down to 185lbs - I then cheated and went up to 192lbs. I am now back on track as of the 6 August. As of this morning I weigh 184lbs. All together from 8 days ago, I have lost 12lbs - YAY for ME!!! I want to be at 135lbs. That's my ultimate goal......Good luck to everyone out there!!!!
Does anyone else want to share their triumph?
I'll be starting the Simeons protocol in about a week. I plan to keep a journal documenting the weight loss and also keeping up with specific body measurements (waist, hipsHip joint replacement Hip pain, thighs,etc.) I'll also have another body composition run when I'm done to document the % BF change. Will be running a 23 protocol. Good luck and keep us posted on success........
Hey,
I'm just waiting on my HcG results etc to get processed with GHI.
I want to keep a scientific log of weight, measurements pics etc.
I have KT's book, but have not read all of the stuff again. Where is the exact 500 cal diet listed or posted?
Put me on your e'mail list I am at ...................tjsteams at aol Dot com .....************************
I have a goo 75 pounds to loose.
That's awesome keep up the good work. And don't sweatSweat electrolytes test Sweat test Sweating Sweating - absent the set backs. I am actually doing the 30 day pre-hCG right now. But plan to start the injections in a couple of weeks. I am actually online now trying to find a clinic in Chicago that offers the protocol. (So if anyone knows of one please let me know) I saw on another post that the injections are available via internet, but I'd much rather be under the guidance of a health care physician. Keep us posted on your progress it is such good motivation hearingAge-related hearing loss Audiology Hearing loss Hearing or speech impairment - resources about your progress.
Hi. Well, google HCG to learn about the program. Also, look up Dr. Simeons plan. Native Healing Ways is a company that will mail you out the HCG shots. They're pretty good. Also, try HCGweight. I hope this information works for you.......good luck!!!! You can do it!
Hello. Well, I am currently doing 175iu. I give myself the injections on my thighs - on the front. I sit down, relax and inject IM. I alternate thighs each day. Some people say to try the stomach, but thighs just seem to work for me! Good luck!!!
The diet per se is not posted. The allowed proteins, vegetablesVegetable laxative and fruit are all in KT's book and Dr Simeons diet protocol. What you eat in a day must add 500 calories. For instance, For breakfast, I just drink water with lemon (32oz), for lunch, I'll eat 4oz chicken and a handful of cucumber. I put pepper and lemon and apple cider vinegar on my cucumber (it tastes good), two hours later, I'll eat the apple, while drinking another 32oz of water. Then for dinner, I'll eat 4 oz protein, a handful of cherry tomatoes cut in half marinated in lemon, apple cider vinegar, peppler and drink another 32oz water. If I'm still hungry, I'll eat the apple or I'll wait another two hours to eat the other apple. You could eat that apple for breakfast if you wish.
When you do the gorge days, don't get discouraged because you will gain weight. I remember I did 3 gorge days and went up like 4lbs. On the second day, after the gorge days, I lost like 7.6lbs. I couldn't believe it and had to weigh myself at least 3 times......lol...
Good luck to you!!! Keep us updated!
The program has been relatively easy. I actually take phentermine as part of the diet to ward off hunger. I've cheated twice and yet I have lost weight.
I would suggest that you and your husband go on line and look up HCG weight loss. That will give you some information on HCG. Also, just google Dr Simeons diet protocol - that will tell you what you need to do. As far as the shots, go on line to Native Healing Ways and you can order from them. You can also try HCGweight, they also deliver. I inject myself in the thighs IM, alternating thighs each time. Good luck in your journey. You and your husband can both do it!!!! Let us know your progress..........Good luck!!!
Well, let me tell you - it has been a difficult and long journey thus far. I've been on the HCG diet for since the 27th July. Here is what has happened to me so far........
27th July - 194 lbs Started shots and gorged
28th July - 195lbs shots and gorged
29th July - 196.8lbs (highest ever) gorged
STARTED DIET
30th July 194.8lbs
31st July 187.4lbs (7.4lbs weight loss)
1st Aug 185.8lbs
2nd Aug 183.2lbs (I cheated)
3rd Aug 187.8lbs (4.6lbs gain)
4th Aug 185.2lbs
5th Aug Did not weigh myself (cheated again)
6th Aug 192.2lbs - (very unhappy) - BACK ON HCG Diet
7th Aug 185.4lbs (down 6.8lbs)
8th Aug 184.2lbs
9th Aug 182.4lbs
10th Aug 183.2lbs (don't know why)
11th Aug Did not weigh myself - felt discouraged about previous gain/cheated
12th Aug Cheated
13th Aug 183lbs (back on HCG diet)
14th Aug 182lbs
15th Aug 180.8lbs.
I have lost a total of 16lbs in 18 days and that's including the gorge days.
The moral of the story is "DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU FALL OFF THE HORSE........JUST GET YOURSELF UP AND DUST YOURSELF OFF AND KEEP RIDING. EVENTUALLY YOU WILL GET TO YOUR DESTINATION" Good luck to everyone!!!!
great journal. so the readers can see that this does indeed work. i wish you the most success. no offense to the moral of your story but, IMO for our readers it should be "don't cheat while on either of the protocols" discussed in this forum. A 2.4 lb loss in 7 days is not typical on this diet. when you cheat you waste the injections, you shorten the number of days on your specific protocol and you don't achieve your target goal. If you feel the need to cheat. take off all your clothes and look in the mirror. Drink a liter of water to fill up. Go buy something too small for you to wear and set a goal to be in it at the end of your treatment. What concerns me is, that to cheat while on the HCG which alters your brain to surpress your appetite that you will not be able to maintain the plan at the conclusion of the injections....The diet is critical if you want to be successful and meet your goals...........
Hi,
I have been reading your informative posts. I was wondering if you could send me by email some info on the HCG shots. I am 40 years old female and need to lose about 50lbs. I am in NY. I have read KT book and beginning to read Dr. Simeon's. I don't know who to go about this.
Sure. If you don't mind posting your email in the forum. Be sure to format the email addy as (username at somewhere dot com ). However, if you read the books they should give you all the information you need. Do plenty of research on the protocol that you choose. Your decision will then be to administer yourself or find a clinic that uses some form of the methods discussed. The first thing is to make sure that you are healthy pre treatment. The second thing of course is to be committed to the protocol and not to stray. You must remember that HCG does not make you lose weight. The VLCD does. You can send your questions to the return email address. You can certainly get a lot of information through out this forum also.
Hi! I'm really interested to see what the HCG diet is all about. I've been overweight forever and need a solution asap. I'm about 180 and would like to get down to around 130. Can you send me the ebook from Dr. Simeon as well? I'd like to look it over and see if this is a good option for me. My email is ***@****
Thanks for your help!!!!
Hi..reading all the posts here and am impressed with your comments. I have friends starting the Hcg program in Fort Worth, TX and I am interested in starting. I moved from there to the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area earlier this year and have not had any success finding a doctor. Would you email the ebook from Dr. Simeon? My email is aninani at aol dot com. I am looking to lose 100 pounds and get my life back in order!
this is all something new to me... i need to loose weight my sister takes the pills they offer the shots where im at. what is the procedure for the 1st visit?
OKay, I started the program on Wedhesday, the 15 of August and the first week I lost 5lbs and 2.5 inches.
Im excited to see how it goes next Wednesday. Im not really struggling at anything. I'll keep posting every week. Good Luck and God Bless!!!
Hi all!
I'm new to this forum...my name is Lorelei. I was first introduced to Simeon's a while back and it has recently come to my memory again after reading an online article.
After an internet search of trying to find Simeon's manuscripts, all I've gotten was this page and a bunch of advertisements!
I've seen here that others here have managed to obtain a copy...could you point me in the right direction, please? Thank you to anyone in advance...
Also, I attempted to do a search for Native Healing Ways and have turned up absolutely nothing in the way of a store. Any help there, too? =)
I'd be more than happy to keep others up to date here on progress. How's everyone else's progress?? I'm quite interested in any results, or otherwise.
What are the different dosages in the HCG shots? A dr that I am thinking of going to says that it will vary from 1000-3000 USP units/ 1-3 ccs? What does that mean? I am seeing numbers like 35 units, so does anyone know what the best dosage is?
I am doing the HcG oral alternative diet--the same protocol but with an hcG "substitute" in supplement form. I, too, have lost an average of a pound a day. I am 16 days into the program. I intend to keep doing it for the entire 45 day since it's working and since 45 lbs. is about what I needed to lose. It may just be the discipline and the excitement of seeing the weight come off that makes this effective. The real question, however, is going to be whether the weight stays off. Has anyone been through the diet and maintained their weight loss after resuming a normal diet? Therein lies the rub.
Hi, I have a question. I've seen a few people post that if you take the hcg shot you should use the Dr S protocol only and not any of the other variations out there. A lot of you seem to have experienced great success and I'm wondering, what method did you use? What did you eat, not eat, did you workout, etc. The plan that the clinic that I attend, allows 800-1000 cals a day and focuses mainly on healthy eating. There's not much focus on counting the fat grams, calories, or anything. I am just curious about whether I will still get good results not using the more strict Dr S plan. I'm trying to make the most of this opportunity and am thinking of doing Dr.S on my own to maximize my weight loss. ANy feedback, personal experiences, etc. that you could share would be great. Thanks.
I am having a difficult time NOT cheating on the diet. I am using 200UI's per shot per day and I am absolutely starving. But my body temperature did go up and my finger nails are finally growing which means that my thyroid is finally starting to work properly.
I have not lost a single pound by day 12. I can't sleep because of hunger. Any ideas short of buying some kind of super ephedrine pill?
I have looked at http://www.nuphedragen.com/ and would like to know if anyone has ever used it. My Dr says it's safe but also says it would resemble a cocain high.
Any idea's?
Anyone else suffering from extreme hunger? Apparently we should not be hungry at all, but I am more than hungry.....I can't be trusted around food. The only thing i have noticed is that when I eat, I am still hungry, but I don't enjoy the food at all. I find it very disatisfying and its the same type of food I always eat so I don't understand why it woud be so disatisfying.
a little more info please. What type of plan are you on. How many injection are you taking. How much do you need to loose. 12 days and no loss is not at all typical. How old is your HCG. After 12 injections you should really feel no hunger. After 12 days you should be averaging a 1 to 2 lb per day loss. Something is terribly wrong here.
i would really like to know where i can find this ebook i have tried the many links posted and they send me to a dead page. also, how many ampules do you order i have seen where to order the kits and the hcg however nothing says how many you order. someone please help!!
