New to HCG, help! Oral users too!

[hippymom]

Hi guys, I spent hours reading all your posts last night and was very encouraged (and WAY confused!). I am a mom of 5, was always able to take off my weight with phen after pregnancies in the past. Last year, at 16 weeks prego, I miscarried twins. I had gained 20lbs in that time and my hips got HUGE like never before. I got prego again right away with my beautiful little girl who is now 10 months old. Well, I need to drop about 35 lbs, which normally I would really try to do with diet/exer alone but my issue is these HIPS. I am not joking, they really are disproportionate to the rest of me and have lots of chub in them (my whacko hubby loves them). Based on what I"m reading it sounds like HcG can help with reshaping me. So I have a few ??
1--Do I really need to do a cleanse? I use a daily maintenance "cleanser" already (I did a bigtime cleanse about 2 months ago).
2--Not many people mention results with oral HcG. What do ya'll think?  (I dont want my hubby to know I'm doing this so I'd like to avoid vials in the fridge if I can).
3--Do ANY of you NOT follow the strict eating plan? I mean, are 2 apples or maybe a slim fast shake going to really hurt my results?
4--Lastly, where to get oral? Any place in AZ?

Thanks for indulging me, sorry to take up so much room! God bless you all with your success. I now know how hard it is to drop extra pounds and I commend you all!!!

YOU CAN GET ORAL hCG FROM WWW.RELEANA.COM

Hi!! I just thought id help you a bit with your questions!! I think most of us here on this forum are using Dr. Simeons weight loss protocol. Kevin Trudeau talks about it in his latest book "The weight loss cure 'they' dont want you to know about." He will tell you all about hcg. As far as oral hcg, I don't know about the results. I'm sure the results with oral hcg are just as good. I follow the strict eating plan exactly. It states in the book that the eating plan is carefully structured for this diet. I WOULD NOT drink a slim fast while on the plan. Those shakes contain a lot of junk. The reason to take hcg is to reset your hypothalmus. It's been damaged from the foods that you have been eating. Drinking a slim fast will hurt your results. I'm not sure where you can get oral hcg from, though. You could probably put it in a search engine and look from there. I hope that ive been of some help. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!! :-)

Quoting from the document (Pounds and Inches) that Dr Simeon wrote, "The diet used in Conjunction with HCG must not exceed 500 Calories per day, and the way these Calories are made up is of UTMOST Importance". He goes on to say that some foods, while they may be of equal caloric content, cannot be substituted for others because many foods (Okra, artichokes & Pears are examples) interfere with the weight loss.

Don't know which diet you are on, but this is Dr Simeon's, the one expanded on in KT's book.  Dr Simeon only did the shots, oral is pretty new. Don't know anything about results from Oral.

Thanks for the input you guys. I haven't started on this yet, just in the "research" stages, am waiting for the book to arrive. Thought I'd try to order the Hcg early though since it sounds like most people are waiting a long time to get theirs. I am not a very disciplined eater, I always was better at exercizing like crazy and just eating whatever I want (although not gorging or anything). But in the last year I've had some major health issues (Lupus & Baby) come up so I havent worked out in a long time. i hope to have the same dedication as you all seem to have,I've researced Simeons diet and omg it seems tough! I just am not that organized!!  lol

I noticed you mentioned lupus.  I came up with it about 6 years ago during
my pregnancy.  I was placed on medication which I took for about 1 year then i decided to stop all medications and start an natural products to help with my aches and pains.  I took FLAXSEED and I guess my Lupus is in remision beacuse it doesn't come up in my blood work anymore nor do I felel the aches and pains.  Do some research into flaxseed it might help you.

Hi!  I know this comment isn't weight-loss related, but I just read that a diet of flaxseed oil is a supposed "cure" of cancer!  There is more to it, but that was the main ingredient in the diet (a good one, obviously with no junk).  It was first used on pets....

I am also having some health issues (lupus-like), in addition to the weight stuff.

Did you use a certain amount of flax seed/oil?

Thanks for the comment!

[hippymom]

thanks for the tips everyone. I've found lots of sites that sell the pregnyl, I am just worried I wont know how to mix it or how much to take. Looks like the oral hcg isnt going to be an option, I cant find it anywhere  (except the Releana but I dont live in California). Anyway thanks again...any tips on how to mix/inject would be appreciated.

[RC1969]

I mixed 2 tsp of grinded flaxseed in orange juice or water 2x per day.  I still
continue to use the flaxseed at least once a day.    

[Looking4Hcg]

I'm going to try the flaxseed for my RA (Rhuematoid Arthritus), which is real close to Lupus.  Have you heard that it works for other 'Leaky Gut' illnesses?

[RC1969]

Flaxseed helps with so many illnesses, it is unreal what it does.  I satreted using it as weight loss supplement.  I didn't loose much weight because you have to be very careful on how much you take, but I tell you one thing, 2 months after taking it I realized I no longer had the aches and pains.  Go to www.heintzmanfarms.com ( click on get healthy) it gives you alot of information on the many illnesses flaxsedd helps with.  

[Looking4Hcg]

Thanks sooooo much for the tip.  I've tried a dozen or so 'alternate medical' things, with no improvement so far. I want to exhaust all other possibilities before giving in and getting back on on the high powered medicines I was talking before (Remicade, Methotrexate, Predisone, etc). Prednisone was making me gain weight and either the Remicade or Methotrexate damaged my liver.

Flaxseed sounds promising, and I'll be getting some today!

Sounds like the same medications I have had to take for my Ulcerative Colitis (Remicaid, Prednisone, Mercapopurine, Colazal 12 a day of these suckers!!). Talk about side effects!! I lost half of my hair (it is growing back now); gained 40 lbs.,acne, sweating for no reason, insomnia, dark patches on my face and eyes and a white blood cell count of 16,000 on average. I've been hospitalized three times this year and my Doctor has threatened to take out my large intestine twice. I got Kevin's book for weight loss. But he recommended a Candida cleanse if you have had a lot of antibiotics (me, from sinus infections)before starting the Simeon's diet. So I did. The wonderful thing is my Ulcerative colitis symptoms have completely cleared-up during this cleanse!! I've been on it for 3 weeks now. I use Dr. Jeff McCombs' "Lifeforce Plan" www.lifeforceplan.com. You eliminate all dairy, complex carbs (except brown rice), sugar and sugar substitutes etc.. and take his detox and candida cleanse pills. The only medication I am taking is still 10 mg. prednisone because I have to taper down. Anyone else out there with an auto-immune disease like mine or Lupis, or arthritis, crohn's disease should try this cleanse. I'm not sure if there is a possible food allergy or that the cleanse itself is doing it or both. All that I know is it is working and I'm going to try the HCG diet when I am through. FYI By the way, in Kevin's book it state only HCG injections are truly effective. And every day or six days a week.

I have just purchased pregnyl online it is 10,000 i u/10mls, anyone know how to mix it exactly to dilute to the correct concentration? I did this diet before but did not follow it exactly and still lost, it was alot thru the dr. so I ordered it myself to try to save $. and I am going to follow it to the tee this time(swimsuit season is around the corner) Also before I was taking 1.25 per day, I have read where some take 1.75-200 per day, any suggestions?

[drnoakes]

If you join the Yahoo Group HCG Dieters, follow their "Links" page and find the Sublingual Recipe there, it will provide more links to ordering and mixing oral Releana. It works. I lost my 33 pounds just the same as the "injectors". : ) Let me know if I can help further. I am now on stabilization time. I did not follow the Kevin Trudeau method. I started out in a doctor's office until it became clear that they wanted to keep me on their "metabolic" weight loss plan of thyroid and appetite suppressants forever, even after taking the Releana. You can also check out this link dan-foss.blogspot.com, his site is really very helpful and has a link back to the Yahoo Group.

Hi, I have done a tremendous amount of research on the hCG protocol over the past year. The oral hCG everybody is talking about is NOT the "Origional hCG protocol". hCG is a hormone and MUST be taken intramuscular, by way "A Shot"! It just has to be done this way to be affective long term. I'm not sayinf that if you eat 500 cals a day for 6 weeks you won't loose weight, you will you just won't keep it off the way you will with the hCG shot. The hCG shot resets your hypothalamus. Well instead of me trying to tell you about it why don't you read about it yourself. Go to www.hcgdietinfo   *******  and read Dr.Simeons "Pounds & Inches" manuscript. Back in the 1950's Dr.Simeons discovered the "hCG Protocol". on that web site it will tell you how to mix the hCG how to use it and what to eat while on it.  Good Luck!
