Hi, Coould yo tell me where yu are getting your injections from?

I KNOW ALOT OF BODYBUILDERS.

My clinic stated 4 to 6 weeks before it starts working but I think that might have been said because I complained the 1 shot per week at such a low dosage did nothing for me.  Others who take more say they lose a lot of weight...some up to 9 or 13lbs the first week. It's difficult to say because much depends on a person's age, amt. of exercise they perform, if their following diet correctly or maybe even on meds that keep wgt on. I'm unfortunately in the latter catagory.

Actually as crazy as it sounds.. yes, you lose weight immediately. Its not so much the shot that makes you lose the weight though. The shot is to help your body firm up while you do lose the weight. The weight is lost by the pills and also the diet. i have just finished my first week and i have lost 14 lbs.

WELL I THOUGHT PEOPLE WERE LOSING WEIGHT JUST ON THE SHOTS AND NO PILLS???

Hello all.  I got my first HCG shot today about 6 hours ago. Ive had zero side effects so far.  My question to anyone out there who also went to a weight loss clinic and was told to eat 500 cals. What diet did they put you on?  They gave me the soup diet to follow and I wanted to know if that was the standard HCG diet. Thanks!

[danijill]

I haven't heard of the soup diet. I do the hcg and I eat 500 calories a day. I am eating real food, chicken, turkey tuna, etc. Fresh veggies, lots of water and fruits like apple, grapefruit or oranges.

I need the info on a clinic that administers the Hcg injections here in Miami Florida or Mirama Florida area.  ***@****

Just took the HCG injection today, did feel a warm sensation in my body after 30mins, have not taken the pill yet(Bontril), will start that tomorrow, weighed in at 258.4 hope to lose.

I'm looking for a doctor in CT to supervise an HCG supported diet. Any help would be appreciated. Please email me at ***@****

what the heck is HCG?  i have been looking around the web and cannot find any definition of what this substance is.

also, Trudeau sports a double product substitute for the HCG.  what are these products?  and do they really have the same desired effect of HCG.

and last, can HCG actually tone up the body or does it have to be used in conjunction with other more typical protocols such as healhier eating, exercise and water

[mteditor]

I just got my first shot Wednesday.  They put me on phentermine also.  I was wondering if anyone was getting side effects from the phentermine.  Yesterday, my hands started shaking and I could not stop them and I felt very lightheaded and a little nauseated.  They make me feel no hunger whatsoever and then when you realize it is time to eat it is too late.  Any suggestions on how to continue taking them for the weight loss but where I do not get so shaky.  I did eat, but not sure what to eat to calm the phentermine down a little.

Thanks

Hi everybody I am looking to start the HCG injections, but I have an anxiety disorder and can't really take diet pills. I am guessing you have to take these along with the injections? And have you seen any side affects

[got_nd]

The only side effect I experienced with hcg was having to drink lots more water and having to pee a lot. There should not be many more, except maybe a few headaches and/or constipation when you are detoxing (like the first couple of days) then when you have been on the diet for a while, most of that goes away.
When I did the hcg, there were NO pills, only daily injections for 6 days a week and a 500 calorie diet. (I only felt hungry a few times, the first week, and had a protein shake, then the diet was enough. I was AMAZED to be able to eat such a small salad that it fit on the little saucer they give you at restaurants for your bread and felt FULL!)

[got_nd]

Oh, I forgot to mention: For the first two days, I loaded up on fat, like my doctor told me to do and I gained about 3 pounds, then by the end of the week I had lost around 10 pounds, so it fit in with the average of losing a pound a day that they told me when I started.

[aprilbaby1959]

I started the hcg diet march 1, 2010, starting with 1 injection of 35 units/week and phentermine 1 tab daily with option of 2 tab daily. lost 9lbs 1st month. side effects experienced so far tingling in hands and feet and they stay cold a lot. appetite is decreased. only lost 2.5lbs 2nd month but I strayed from the diet a little. This is 1st week with 2nd injection weekly. I was not required to eat only 500calories daily but to increase protein and fiber, low fat and carb. I have not given up on myself at present, will work harder to resist temptation this month, due to weight back in June 6th.  good luck to all.

Actually you do lose weight from the first shot. it is NOT impossible. The first three days are when you lose the most pounds, to be honest. Your suppose to lose up to three pounds a day for the first three days, then its on average to lose a pound a day after that, until your injections are finished. In the middle of your term with the injections, you will maybe notice that your just sticking to one weight. This generally happens in the middle, so around second or third week. Your weight will remain the same, won't move up or down. This is your brain taking in that chemical, and realizing what it is. STICK WITH THE DIET, DO NOT STOP. It will pick back up within a couple of days, and you will continue to lose the weight. And after your finished, make sure you mantain that diet(eating plan) because you will gain double the weight back if you don't stick with it.
