I want to start the HCG program but my doctor wants to charge me 500.00 for three bottles of the drops and to go through the program under his care. Which I am sure I can be confident in saying the drops are the real thing but there has to be a website that people have ordered this product from and is just as effective or "REAL" as you get from your doctor and for a much cheaper price. Can anyone tell me where to go to order this and know you aren't getting a scam product.

Could anyone tell me the site where I can buy the HCG drops. There are several sites, but I don`t know which one is a good one, because the price varies quite a bit. Please help, I want to try this, too.

I got the drops and started them last week...iv lost 7lbs in 9 days but I did have one night when I had 2 vodka/tonics, and because I cheated, I didnt lose that day. Can someone tell me the diet that they are following, I know its the 500 calorie diet but i want to make sure im eating the right foods....I got the homeopathic drops which came with a website telling me the diet...im just interested to see if someone else has different foods or a different diet that they follow that is also working...my foods are getting quite boring!!!
Thank you :)

What about exercise? I am a big exerciser and I eat well (I know my proteins and carbs and what's good for you), two years ago I was ill advised by a doctor to take medication and gained 50 lbs, while taking it, after stopping the medication, I have managed to lose 30lbs just by my normal diet and exercise, so I lost 30 lbs in 6 months. I've tried increasing exercise and changing diet to lose more, but to no avail.
I am trying this out, but I am sure that the 500 calories is way too low for my exercise needs (15 miles cycling a day). Has anyone had any success with just keeping your already healthy lifestyle and diet and lost weight by adding these drops? I take multivitamins as well.

some of the protocols now offer a 1200 cal plan. If you are unwilling to give up your workouts during the diet (I reduce my work out plan to pilaties, yoga and a abs routine) then that would be best.

@ I started my first round in June and I was 215, I am 5'4". By the end of round one I was down to 192. I was able to keep all of the weight off during the stabilization period. So luckily I starting my second session at the same weight.... I love the system I am using because it takes you through 4 steps. The final 2 being stabilization and maintaining, giving me the tools I need to keep the weight off. I was feeling desperate to loose the weight and I was considering surgery.... I feel like this is much safer than surgery and crazy no food diets like the master cleanse... The only side effects I have encountered is some moodieness about day 3 - 4 from carb withdrawal and breast tenderness and enlargement. For the first time in my life I feel like my reccomended weight of 140 is obtainable!!! :)

I've been a nurse for 16 yrs and have been employed by an HCG clinic for a year now. I,m concerned by how many peaple are doing this diet without any guidence from medical personel. Also when you purchase the unregulated HCG. You have no way of knowing what your getting, it could even be from horse urine instead of human. Most likely it is very diluted down from prescription strength. With it being such a low calorie diet it is essential to be monitored for depleatiom of nutrients and to monitor your muscle mass to ensure your not looseing muscle instead of fat. Alot of symptoms listed on this page could be a potential problem and guidence is needed.

I don't doubt that people can lose weight on this diet. However, I do doubt that this is a long term solution. Proper diet and exercise for the LONG TERM is the best. It's about a lifestyle change, not a quick fix. I workout 5 days a week at 4:30am. I watch what I eat and have treats in moderation. It's all about the long term, not the quick fix. I wonder what all these HGC people will say in a few years. My bet is they will have gained back all the weight they have lost and then some. JMHO.
I'm not a hater, just a realist.

It makes sense that after the drops you would loose your hair. After every pregnancy I had I always lost my hair for a few months afterwards and then it stops and your hormones will correct itself. Everyone is different so the "small" dose maybe too much for you. When I started the diet I got very sick. I caught a cold and an UTI. The doctor tested my urine and found that my body was eating my muscles. Remember your heart is a muscle and all your organs are surrounded by muscles. So..I increased my calorie intake to 800 and now I feel much better and I'm still loosing a pound a day. So that just goes to show you that the generic "500" cal a day isn't always for everyone. The "36" drops isn't for everyone either. You have to pay attention to your body. Adjusting things as you go. Go to your doctor to get checked immediately if you don't feel well. So far my negative side effects are achy joints, I break out into sweats ( think this is due to fat burn),low immunity and headaches. I noticed my breasts becoming more dense (larger). But overall I think this is the kick in the butt I needed to start loosing weight over a short period of time!

I have done 2 rounds of the hcg diet using the homeopathic drops and had a total loss of 32 pounds. I did my first round in April '11 and the second round 6 weeks later. About 3 weeks after the second round I started to have significant hair loss. I am still experiencing hair loss and estimate my loss to be at about 60%. Thank goodness I had lots of hair to start with! I would recommend to anyone interested in doing this diet that you have at least 2-3 months between rounds and only do the rounds for the minimum 23 days. Dr. Simeon does mention this as a possible side effect but I didn't realize he meant THIS much hair loss. He contends that the hair will grow back... I hope so! I loved the diet otherwise and didn't experience any other negative side effects.

There are NO quick fix diet solutions!!!!

You need to educate yourself about healthy eating, and introduce exercise into your llife.

Don't even use the word DIET as this suggest just that, and when you fininsh the DIET you will fall back into your old habbits and put all the weight back on.  This will become an evil cirlce as you go throught this cycle over and over agian in your life. ( i bet you are already thinking this is what i do!)

You need to start cooking healthy meals, cut out the rubbish (you know what that is), eat more veg & fruit, try & stick to three meals a day with healthy snacks inbetween and exercise, even a brisk walk a few times a week can burn calories off!!  Allow yourself a few treats, if you are honest with yourself you will know what a few treats are!!

This will become a natural way of life and not a DIET, so the weight will stay off and you will feel a whole lot better about yourself.

This new HCG diet is just that, if you only eat 500 calories a day you are going to loose weight!!!  The HCG may just have an placebo effect on you!
This is an extremely low calorie diet 500 calories a day.  Think about it 500 calories is about a small portion beef chilli with brown rice!

So think about it, if this is all you are going to eat all day you ARE going to loose weight!!!!!!!!

And by reading all the side effects from other posts is it worth it!!!!!

This program saved my sister. Her struggle with weight was endless. She went on it first and lost 50+ pounds and is nearing her year anniversary of maintaining her weight. She used the 40 day plan and the drops. I lost 30+ pounds and the 28 day plan and drops. I went from a size 12 to a 4. We followed the Protocal with a few adjustments. We have so much energy. The only side effect I experienced was hair loss, she had none. We are both in our early sixties and almost through menopause. We just got tired of thinking we were going to be two chunky old ladies for the rest of our lives. We also stopped calling it a DIET. It is now just a new way of eating.
While on the drops I found the vitamins very helpful and will continue with them. I also had no headaches or any other aches while taking the drops. I would also like to mention I was a bit of a naysayer. It took my sister six months to convince me this program just might work. I did alot of homework and research for recipes. There are some great ones out there.

I have read the comments on this site back to June. One question no one has addressed [except the last one] is what does this do to someone who has gone through menopause? My primary doctor recommended a physician who gives the HCG shots. I hate shots. The under-the-tongue are so much more appealing. Does anyone know what the difference is? I don't have 10-15 lbs to lose. I have 80. I don't want to be skinny, I just am tired of people being cruel and thinking that if you are over weight, somehow your hearing doesn't work either.

I am 61 and have lost 70 lbs. in 4 1/2 mos. with the drops. I have more energy than I ever have had. I am soon ready to go on stabilization. No one I know has gained any weight back. 'This has saved my life and changed my life. With the drops I take you do the diet without breaks until you reach your goal. They also have a Dr. on staff with good counselors to help you along the way. I have not had any side effects. The 500 cal. is enough because the rest of the nutrition comes from your fat. That is how you lose weight. Who knew that our bad fat is full of nutrition? Also, my arthritis and psoriasis has also gone away.

Do not buy from the internet unless you know the company. My friend ordered 2 bottles and got only one. There were no ingredients listed so she wanted to return it and they told her she would have to return it to China. I get mine from a reputable FDA approved U.S. lab. There is also a Dr. on staff with great counselors.

Does anyone here have any knowledge of how calories work in your body? Unless someone is a doctor you can actually get in a lot of trouble prescribing less than a 1200 day calorie diet, that is because it is scientifically proven that less than that is dangerous and your body actually goes into starvation mode and you are all amazed at the weight loss at a 500 calorie a day weight loss??? Do 500 calories a day without the urine from pregnant woman (that's what hCG is) and I promise you all that you will lose the same weight! Any Registered Dietician would ever recommend a 500 calorie diet! This diet has nothing to do with the pregnant woman’s urine you are all digesting or injecting, it’s the 500 calorie diet you are living on! Exercise and 5 meals a day and maintaining your BMI for your activity will help you all lose weight. You are all handing over money to doctors who have found a way to scam you all.

I did the shots for two 20 day sessions and I lost 29 lbs in two months. I was thrilled! However, after about one week off the diet I felt so hungry all the time and within two months I gained it all back. It was expensive and I just wish it had stayed off.

Well I'll be the odd ball out here but I've had a positive reaction to the HCG 5000 drops. It was advertised on the radio for a free trial so I figured I would try it. It has decreased my appetite and I don't follow their diet at all...I still eat whatever I want but just in less portions and I work out. In the 7 days that I've taken them so far I've lost about 13 lbs. **And I was still eating less and exercising before I started the drops and my weight would either not move, barely go down, or increase.**

Ive kept the weight off for over two years....The diet is like a junp start..a second chance...and the diet takes alot of wll power. It isnt easy. I am 5' 6" with a muscular build..in the military and always have worked out but I needed a good detox...alot of sodium from foods overseas. I went from 190 to 148 in 40 days..I just dont eat packaged foods...I cook more at home and limit all the bad carbs...It teaches you how to keep up healthy eating and those who have gained weight after, went back to some or all of their bad habits,or had to take meds, or whatever..But the diet is not a quick fix. I thought of it as a detox, and learned from it,applied all the tools and have had great success in keeping my weight off...Basically, common sense.

Actually there's a reason you only need 500 calories a day. The HCG Drops cause your body to bust up the fat cells and then used the stored fat as nourishment for your cells. It does it in such a rate that on average people only need 500 calories simply because their body is getting some of the nourishment from their unhealthy fat stores.

The 500 calories consists of: low fat proteins such as chicken, veal, and whitefish and vegetables. I'm drinking up to a gallon of water through the day. How can this be bad for you? Last time I checked those were the things we were supposed to eat. And as someone who has eaten the wrong foods for almost 35 years, it has not been difficult to stick to the 500 calories a day! Support us instead of bashing us please.

I took HCG drops I had purchased through GNC and had tremendous results following the 500 calorie diet. In two and 1/2 weeks I lost 27 pounds and then woke up one morning not being able to walk or sit due to intense leg pain. I ended up in ICU having emergency surgery to remove blood clots from the vein in my right leg and the ultrasound showed my leg was full of blood clots from the buttocks to the foot. Since have been on warfarin and it was regulated good until I started taking the HCG again and now they are having problems trying to get the blood level regulated. Today I did find one article about HCG and one of the rare side effects was bloodclots. I threw the rest of my HCG out because the doctor's told me last time I was lucky to be alive and I don't want to chance it again.

HCG really helps you shed off extra fat and better you go fro HCG drops made from real homeopathic hCG as there are some HCG are made from non-homeopathic as well as hCG liquids combined with alternative ingredients which may result in side effects.
