HCG pills VS shots

by MissyKlein, Jan 27, 2007 12:00AM
I know this is probably already posted on here somewhere, but I need to know what the difference is between HCG shots and pills.  Do they make pills that have the same "cocktail" as the shots ? I'm thinking about going to Dr. G or Sara Brown in Huntersville (I've read she takes insurance)but if I could do this cheaper on my own by buying pills, ofcourse I'd rather do that. Also, I've been taking Lipovox for a week now and I do seem to get fuller quicker (Lean Cuisine) I usually have to eat 2 of these to know I've eaten ! and we had birthday cake at work last week and I did pretty well staying away from it. :) Anyone have any experience with the Lipovox ?

I've been told by doctors that the oral HCG isn't as effective as the shot.  I get the shots in Asheville, NC and have been satisfied with the results and have had no side effects.  Good luck!! I've lost 40 pounds (while dieting also -- not just the shots) and feel great. Its wonderful to be able to go buy clothes again without feeling like crying!

Have you guys noticed a weight loss with just the shots ?  I'm not really too keen on taking the Phent, I've heard of it raising BP and heart rate, neither of which I care to mess with.  A friend of mine works with a girl that has lost from a sz 14 to a 4 with no exercise, just the pills and shots.  But the Phent just curbs your appetite right, it does't really make the fat go away ??  Is that right ?

I didn't get weight loss with just the shot.  The doctor said the hcg just makes the fat easier to lose -- you still have to take in fewer calories than you burn to lose weight.  I didn't use diet pills but, at least as I have always understood it, the pills don't affect your weight at all, they just make you less hungry so you eat less.

would someone respond about the hcj injections  any good news from someone who's lost weight  and how long did it take u to lose the weight and have u kept it off

by jessie72, Feb 21, 2007 12:00AM
I lost 42 pounds. It took me about 4 and 1/2 months to lose it and so far I've kept it off. I got the injections along with a diet program to follow which basically is just eating healthy and watching calories. I've continued to do that and had no problem keeping it off and actually just lost another 2 pounds. I'm not taking the shots anymore.

I want to take HCG to help me with my weight loss but I actually want to try it the pill version first. Does anyone know where to buy the pill version from? Or can anyone direct me to a website?
