Hi, I need to know where i can order the hCG shots. I heard that this shot is good to lose weight. I try to look online to buy it, but my research leadLead poisoning me to nothing. If somebody know information that will help me, please reply to this question. I'm desperate because in a year I gain about 60 pounds. PLEASE HELP ME.
be careful with the hcg shots. they actually trick your body into thinking it is pregnant so you may end up gaining weight. Maybe the reason you lose weight is because it can make you feel very sick .. just food for thought
I've been reading those threads related to the hCG shots for weight loss subject, and I suspect that once again (as it happened in 1974) the method will be misused by all those who only wish to grab a commercial profit from its use.
Please let me remind you again, and again, and again, that hCG is a PRESCRIPTION drug that MUST be dispensed by a licensed Physician.
Unfortunately many Healthcare Professionals modified the original method based on their own assumptions on how the method operates.
In some cases modifications were performed to the extent that they do not include any of the basic and fundamental postulates of the hCG protocol, resulting in UNWANTED or side-effects.
We set forth that much of the negative publicity surrounding the method is due to the lack of proper validation by the appropriate governmental agencies, such that it has been marginally performed often by untrained personnel, under uncontrolled conditions. Thus, the protocol has been modified or misinterpreted, leading to unsuccessful results.

This is to reply to the post on 7/22 about the fact that the shots trick your body into thinking that it is pregnant and the shots make you sick. FirstFirst progesterone mc10 First progesterone mc5 First-progesterone vgs 100 First-progesterone vgs 200 First-progesterone vgs 25 First-progesterone vgs 400 First-progesterone vgs 50 First-testosterone First-testosterone mc of all, it doesn't trick your body into thinking that it is pregnant. If that was the case you would not have your period,which is not the case. Also, you do not get enough HCG to make your body think that you are pregnant. It is something that your body produces anyway pregnant or not. If you take a pregnancy test while on the HCG shots and it's positive, then you are pregnant!! You WILL NOT get a false positive result on the shots. As far as you being sick on the shots, I know approx. 20 people who take the shots, including myself, and no one has ever told me that the shots make them sick. This weight loss solution may not work for you if you don't follow your doctor's instructions. Please read up on your information before you post any messages. Thank You!
tWhiz... you take these injections???? Where can I purchase these injections???? Most of the sights require that you come to their clinic. Also, I took these shots for 3 months and NEVER... repeat NEVER got sick!! I have discussed they HCG injections with my familyBirth control and family planning Choosing a primary care provider Ewing’s sarcoma Family troubles - resources doctor and he hasn't heard of it being used for weight loss...but said he would be happy to monitor my health during the process. I have taken these shots before and had AWESOME results. At that time I lived in AL and went to LO. for a check up and then purchased the injecitons. However after many surgeries I have slowly put the weight back on and can NOT take it off. Someone please help me find a site that I can actually purchase the shots. By the way the Genesis site is NOT up and running. You can't get ahold of any one and the emails bounce back to you. DOES ANYONE KNOW?????
Thanks all in advance for your HELP!
When living in Europe, I lost a lot of weight using hGC shots in combination with Dr. Simeons diet. Despite the 500 cal. diet, I had incredible energy and stamina; I felt great!
Where in Washington DC can one obtain these shots?
Well, I had my first HCG shot yesterday and the doctor sent me home with three for the month. It did not make me sick. My girlfriend did this program and lost alot. I eat a Detour Bar in the morning (it must have more protein than carbs) and a pill a day. I ate a Lean Cuisine for dinner and an apple for a snack. AND I AM A REAL JUNK FOOD EATER....SO today I only had 550 calories and I am so proud of myself. Thank god I can have unlimited gum and diet coke!! I live in NC. Gonna lose ! Yeah!
i have taken the hcg shots before and lost weight, but it has been a while and i have gained it back and i have recently moved to tennessee and would like to know where i would be able to get it up here. thanks
I am shocked that any one would want to put a drug that would comprise your body's reproduction system in order to lose weight. If you want to lose weight try the old fashion way. Cut the calories, reduce the fat and excerise EVERY day for the rest of your life. I did it Twice. Once in College, I took off 30 lbs. Kept it off for 15 year. I put 40 lbs on during my first 3 years of marriage. I decided to lose it. It took 2 years to lose it, go from 33% body fat to 21% body fat. I now compete as a master rower and watch every day what I eat and train every day. Lose it this way, it is the safest and the best way to keep it off.
It does not compromise you reproductive process, if anything it can help. I have PCOS and it is very hard to lose weight. They have also found out that these shots seem to help PCOS and might even cure it. SO by taking these shots I will lose weight and my body might finally straighten out and I might finally be able to have a baby!!!!!!!!!
So then it is not a weight loss drug and should not be used as one. It should be used for what it is correctly prescribed for. Which is a ferilty drug. Which if it helps you in this way, best of luck to you.
I had great success with HCG shots several years ago. No side effects and felt great while on the program. There are no diet clinics in my area that offer HCG so I placed an order in September with Genesis at www.hcgweb.com. My credit card was charged but I have not received the HCG nor have I received any response to my numerous communications to Genesis. If I receive the product or a refund of my $149.90 payment, I will let you know.
I am intrested in getting the HCG injection and can only find it in North Carolina. I have an appointment on 11/22. The problem is that I live in VT and that is far to travel. I will if I have to but, does anyone know of anyplace local????
I have an appointment on 11/14 in huntersville nc. I am a littel nervous but i am going anyway. A friend told me that her relative had been getting weight loss shots and she suffered a stroke during the process, I dont have any previous medical history on this relative. Has anyone heard of anyone or any stroke side effects. I have high blood pressure, can anyone tell me how the shots affect or if the shots affect blood pressure in anyway.
I went to Dr Girrourd in Huntersville, I took the shots and lost 33lbs in the first month. Also I had high blood pressure,Once you start losing weight your blood pressure will come down. These shots along with the pills and the diet and exercise work great.
I had my appointment. My blood pressure was tooo high and the Dr. G. said no to the pills and for me to talk to my reg family physcn about my hbp first. I spoke with my reg fam physican an he switch the high blood pressure meds and gave me the okay for the pills and the shots. He obviously agrees with the shots and that made me feel better about them too. I also spoke to my friend again and she said that the shots were fine and that they did not cause her cousin to have the stroke. The servere high blood pressure and the diet pills. So be extremely cautious and monitor closely if you do the pills with hbp. The shots does not affect your blood pressure.
Hello I have been doing the Hcg shots for a little over a week I did not loose that much weight in the first week less than 5 lbs. What special diet are you suppose to be eating I no that you are not suppose to eat milk or cheese products. And I know that you have to drink a LOT of water but I am still hungry at times can someone please help me?
Ask the doctor for an appetite suppressent. I hear the diet is basically low carbs and low calorie intake. Try a google search and see what results you get for the hcg diet program.
I am another Dr. G Fan from the Charlotte area! I have been doing the pill/shots and watching my calorie/carb intake for 2 days shy of three weeks and I have lost 10 lbs! I am not hungry at all. I have to remind myself to eat and when I do - I can't eat much. All you doing the same - just remember to take a multivitamin each day to supplement you! Dr. G recommends that - try flintstones or gummy chew vitamins....I am so excited about my weight loss and I feel great!!
Good Morning Everyone
I have a few responses to several of the statements I have read. Several of you wanted to know where to get the hcg shot. There is a location in Lavergne, TN on Waldron Road. The staff is excellant. I started this program along with 3 friends. We have had great success.
One of you stated you are still hungry during the day. Eat more protein, make sure you follow the diet plan with a meat at lunch and dinner.
I have not been sick at all, infact I have felt better than normal. Not tired at all.
I noticed some of you talking about the HcG shot, and Dr.G in Huntersville, NC. I live in that area, but wanted some more info on the shots/pills. Do you have to take the shots and pills in combination? I have heard you can just take the pills, and you can get the pills through your regular doctor. Does anyone know if this is true? Also does anyone know the name of the pills? What type of diet do you have to maintain while on the shots? What is the price of the shots and pill?? As you can see I need to know all the basics.
I live in coastal GA and am trying to find a clinic near me. My mother is doing the program and has lost nearly 30 lbs. in 2 months. What is amazing is how smooth her skin looks on her thighs and tummy. She is also on a 1000 cal. diet. She is never hungry and has to make herself eat. She takes a shot twice a week and an appetite supp. every day. She goes to a clinic in Hickory, NC. That is 7 hours from me and I have four children which makes it difficult to travel. Does anyone know of a clinic in the coastal GA area?
My mom takes adipex which is a prescription drug. She gets it at Wal-mart for around $20 a month. Her shots are $40 a month. Insurance does not normally cover these meds. Her shots are called Novarel. She has to get these from her doctor. They premix the shots in the office. She cannot get more than a months supply at a time because they will go bad. I hope this helps. Each doctor is different and may not prescribe the same pill.
I started the HcG shots 12/6 and have since lost 20 lbs. I also take the appetite suppressant and too have to make myself eat sometimes. I have so much more energy. My husband ask me the other day what I had done with his wife? lol. I also go to Dr. G. I love this diet. I have always been satisfied and and have not exceeded 600-800 calories a day (which hasn't been difficult at all). It is so hard to believe the scales when I see them, I find myself doubting them alot, it just doesn't seem real. I guess I had been overweight for so long that I just assumed I would always be like "fat". My favorite part about the diet is the fact that you don't have to give up salt, so you can still have tasty food! And just use Splenda instead of sugar. Before I started this diet I was contemplating bariatric surgery, if I continue to do as well as I have been I my not need it, it's wonderful!
I live in the Oklahoma City area and I am suppose to start the shots Jan 2. The program is for 8 weeks and you go in every day mon-fri for the shot and to weigh it is $560.00 The diet is 500 calories a day. The 1st three shots (first three days) you do this thing called the loading diet and eat cereal, sugar, potaoes, dessert pie and different high fat items and then from the 4th day (4th shot) on you eat 31/2 oz of meat 2 times a day, one cup of vegetable 2 times a day and then 1 fruit and 1 slice of white melba toast for the duration of the 8 weeks and then you do stabilization period for the next 2 weeks. They said you do the shots 5 times a week in very small dosages and weigh in and they also do your temp check and blood pressure and normal vital checks. The diet is very restrictive and followed very closely by the doctor and you also get an ok with your ob. He thought is was great. Hope it works and I feel good like all of you have felt. Have any of you done the shots every day? Have any of you done 500 cal? If so was it easy?
The shots should be used in conjunction with a healthy eating plan. I am aware of 2 places in the Charlotte NC area, Copperfield Wellness out of Concord/Kannapolis, and then the physician in Huntersville (I think the name is Dr. Gerrard, I know I'm not spelling it right). From my understanding, both places follow a similar structure. You can use pills or shots, or both, along with their recommended eating plan. The pills (type determined by the dr.) will help suppress appetite, and the shots help you lose inches. I followed their program, and lost 30 pounds (15 in the first month). I was shocked - physically I felt, and still feel, great. For me, the biggest benefit of the shots is that combined with the dramatic weight loss, it's just incredibly motivating. I don't want anyone to think, "hey, I'll do this for a few months, lose weight, and then don't have to worry about it"....like anything, you really have to change the way you eat and think about food in general in order to keep the weight off. I have changed my eating habits - I usually start with a healthy protein based breakfast (NOT bacon and sausage), to help keep me full until lunch time. If I get hungry before that, I will eat an apple or other piece of fruit. I eat a lot of chicken and fish, and I definitely get my veggies in - but I want something high in fat or carbs, I will indulge, just in moderation!! My physician told me that you will show a false positive on a pregnancy test. HCG is found in the body when pregnant. The reasons are not knows why is helps you shrink in inches, but it is common for women to lose weight when they initially get pregnant. You do not become more fertile when taking the shots, and you DO get your period. The shots don't work for everyone, but I did notice a difference. I have kept my weight off for almost a year, longer than any other "diet" which is why for me, I don't consider this a diet, it has become a way of life, and now I don't take pills or shots anymore. If you're willing to be committed to changing your lifestyle, then I definitely recommend giving either doctor a call.
Well for any of you reading this, I hope you found is useful!
Hey, It's me again, from Huntersville NC and Ive been seeing Dr. Girourd and have lost 25 lbs on the HCG shots and pills. I can attest that it does NOT make me sick and I've been feeling quite energetic. I am so happy for a change. I finally fit into all my clothes that I bought and could not fit in for a Year!!!! I swear by the procedure. The shots dont hurt and the pills really make me not want to munch like I used to. I still eat lean cuisine, but on Thanksgiving and Christmas, I ate ham turkey mashed potatoes and pie....and didnt gain a pound. You just have to watch what you eat. I'm in my third month, and I havent gained/and have only lost 1 lb this week, but its because I'm thin already and I've been doing the holiday thing. I'm going to start back on track today....and will lost the lat 8 lbs I want. I have no doubt!!!!
I just started on the Novarel (hcg) shots. I am also taking phentermine for appetite surrpressant. These were perscribed to me for weight loss by my OB/GYN. I am giving myself the shots, they suggested in the stomach (I promise this does not hurt at all, Im a big chicken). Also, I am using the diabetic needles (very short), because the hcg should not be given in the muscle it is supposed to be given just below the skin and above the muscle (according to my Dr.). I have also read several posts concerning fertility, my dr. did confirm it does make you more fertile and there is an increase in chances of multiple births. So be careful if this is not in your plan. She did give me a diet plan but also said as long as I kept my calories under 1000 per day I would still lose just fine. I am very curious what the people that are on the 500/day diet eat? What is a typical breakfast, lunch, & dinner like? I will keep y'all posted on my loss. Please, those of you who are losing with this let the rest of us know what your doing so we can try it and hopefully be just as successful.
PS
I am 30 yrs old, married, 2 kids, and I live in North GA.
Please give me your Dr.'s phone number and name. My only alternative is to drive seven hours twice a month. I am 34, have 4 children and live in South East Coastal GA. Only 45 mins. to an hour from Savannah.
I have been on the phentermine and taking the shots for (2) months. The 1st month I lost 16.2lbs. I went back yesterday and lost anothe 8.4lbs. This is great. I pretty much eat what I want, (half as much as before). I do eat more protein in the mornings than carbs. I have given up my sweet tea and limit myself to bread. I love chocolate and when I want it I buy the sugar free or low carb. I have never felt sick on this or even felt pregnant. I hope that I keep loosing and stay on track. Don't get me wrong I have been off track more than once in these last (2) months. Good luck to all and I hope you have wondeful results.
Hi there I am 22 and live in the Cincinnati area while i was prego i lost alot of weight but since then I have gained alot of weight like over 60 lbs in the last year. I watch what i eat i exercise and from what it seems like this may be the only thing that may help me besides having gastric bypass or lapband which I really don't want to do. Do you guys know of any place around here that may have a clinic where I can get the shots? Thanks
Hi,
Years ago I took the HCG shots at a Lindora clinic, and had great results and no side effects. Since then this clinic has stopped this practice. Does anyone know if there is a clinic in LA or Ventura county in Ca?
I followed this diet and shots back in 1972 while living in Sun Valley, Idaho. It worked like magic - never hungry - plenty of energy and lost 45 lbs in just 30 days. The remarkable thing was that I lost in all the right spots. My skin and hair were the best ever. I need to find someone in the Seattle metro area so that I can get back on this program. Can anyone help?????
If you are only eating 500 calories a day, you are going to lose weight no matter what. You burn over 500 calories while you sleep. So any extra calories you burn during the day will just increase your weight loss. It only takes 3500 calories to burn one pound off. I just think you should be careful when injecting yourself with a synthetic hormone.
You can always try the hcg provider directory at the hcg diet info website - http://www.hcgdietinfo.com Also, the yahoo hcg diet groups are full of people that are happy to share information about their providers.
I am a 27 year old mother of two, who gaied about 40 pounds from my pregnancies. I have tried several diets and pills, but can't seem to loose the weight. I am not what you consider "large" I only want to loose about 30lbs total, is this the kind of thing for loosing that kind of weight, or is it more for larger weight loss?
I got my HCG from Native healing Ways. I spoke with Brittany. I am down 36 lbs in 9 weeks. I am a happy loser! The are in Tennessee, but will ship anywhere. Her number is ***. Call her it's worth it. And tell that Stephanie * sent you and i'll pass my free week along to you.
Hi, I can help if you live near Ft.Worth, Tx go to www.hcgweightsolution.com. and they do the hCG program! I've been on it for a week and a half and have lost over 10lbs and counting every day!
Good Luck!!!
I'm a breast cancer survivor and have gained 40 lbs. post chemo. Does anyone know if I could take HCG? I've done so much research but can't find anything on cancer. HELP!
I've been studying this for about a week now, because my wife is interested in it. What I've found is that many doctors are making significant changes in the original protocol designed my Dr. Simeon...and getting far inferior results.
Dr Simeon was a brilliant researcher as well as practicing Doctor, and his protocol was very precise, developed out of his findings from years of perfecting the hcg approach.
I would recommend, if you are interested in doing this, that you read his original manuscript and follow it EXACTLY!!!
This is where it can be found on the web for free.
When his protocol is followed exactly you can expect weight loss of about a pound and day, and have tons of energy and not suffer from hunger at all on a 500 calorie a day diet. If you are losing significantly less than that, and/or if you are battling hunger, it is a sure sign that you are doing something wrong.
If you study his manuscript, you will understand what you are supposed to do, and you will know where you are off track if you aren't getting the results I've mentioned above.
Hi, Oh man am I glad you wrote this, please let me know where you found this info, I have been having results, but like you said not to the full affect, Thank you so much.
Please help me! I am a divorced (3 years now),full-figured mother of three boys, who desperately would like to know what it feels like to be slim and sexy just once in my life before I die. I am trying to get myself (physically) in-shape,so I can feel and look better. I live in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area. Can anyone tell me where I can go to get these shots relatively locally? I work full-time and take care of my three boys, so I don't have tons of extra income, but I need to lose this weight desperately. Will someone out there please respond? PS.- EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ KEVIN TRUDEAU'S BOOK- "THE WEIGHT LOSS CURE"- they don't want you to know about. That book has changed my life! Try it!
The general consenses on this site is either ***.com (native healing ways) or ***.com. They are not local to you, but they can ship it to you. ***.com is in Tulsa OK, but they also ship to you, and are really quite nice.
Native Healing Ways ships the hcG injections pre-mixed and they are frozen. Does anyone know if that is effective? I've heard that you should mix the solution fresh everytime and that it does not keep well refrigerated. Has anyone on this forum used Native Healing Ways?
I've found a cheaper source at ***.com, and even cheaper still at ***.com. Theirs comes in 1500, 2000, 5000, and 10,000 I.U. ampules from different companies. Anyone know if this is ok? I mean to have a large ampule that will be open for a while before it is used up? And if any certain brand is better than another? If anyone would like to email me directly, I'm at ***@****. I'm going to go with ***.com if I don't hear anything soon. Thanks.
I DONT THINK YOU SHOULD TRY NATURALHCG.COM HCG IS AVAILABLE BY PRESCRIPTION ONLY. I TRIED THAT WEB SITE AND IT NEVER MENTIONED A PRESCRIPTION. I FOUND A LOCAL DOCTOR, BUT HE ONLY GIVES 3 SHOTS PER WEEK 35 UNITS EACH. I'M STILL TRING TO FIND A DOCTOR WHO WILL PRESCRIBE THE WAY DR. SIMEONS SAYS.
Does anyone know of a clinic in or around Kansas City MO that does Dr Simmeons weight lose cure protocol. If so please let me know I am interested in doing the Hcg shots.
I would like to know the email addys of those cheaper sources but your post has them blocked. how are you supposed to send/recieve emails if your not supposed to put your email addy in the comment box??? Sorry, I'm new at this.
I am in Maple Valley. I would be very appreciative if you could email me and let me know about the shots and what the plan we are supposed to follow is. Including shot dosage and food plan. do you know where we find dr simeons free diet plan? \\Someone commented on it but didnt post the website. Maybe if it isnt written like an email it will post.
I've been reading the comments in these forums for the past week and have decided to give the Dr. Simeons protocol and hCG shots a try. I've searched all over near where I live for doctors who will prescribe hCG but have found that it will only be prescribed for hormonal or fertility problems. The one site that I've had contact with is ghihrt dot com. They require a panel of lab tests which a doctor will review and then prescribe the hCG. They use Novarel. The other kinds are Pregnyl and Profasi which are naturally extracted but Ovidrel is lab derived (from what I learned at wikipedia). The cost of the lab work is $450 (which is a great discount but still too much for me) through LabCorp which GHI uses and you have to pay before they order the lab tests for you. I asked them to send me a list of the tests needed to see if I could get my doctor to order them and be paid through my insurance. My ins will pay for most but some would not so it cost me $105 (way better than 450). After recieving the results I just need to fax them over to GHI and the doctor ( did look up license which is valid) will then prescribe through pharmacyrxsolutions. The cost of the hCG is $210 (includes instructions and needles). I've already started eating organic foods and have not been using lotions or hair products. I will also do a Candida yeast cleanse as mentioned in KT's book. It's true that by just eating right and excercising you will lose weight as I did but if your like me there are some spots that have some stubborn fat reserves which didn't go away when I got down to 120 1bs (right now 170 and 5'1"). Also, I found the Simeons manuscript on hcg diet info.
I guess I may be a little lax by some people's standards as far as following instructions to be under a doctor's care. I am basically healthy except for chronic fatigue and 10 pounds overweight, which isn't bad for my age (48) and having 7 children. Except that it's been a constant battle to keep it down and those 10 are so difficult to get off and come back in days if I am not super vigilant. I have not gotten help from doctors for any complaint I've had as an adult and don't believe they know much about this protocol. I am perfectly willing and able to follow it myself to the letter as found in KT or Simeon's books. I know it can be abused, and I also think the drugs routinely prescribed by all those doctors are an abominable abuse. I believe it would definitely be different if you haven't been checked recently or if you need a doctor to make sure any conditions you may have are under control.
Can you post or send me the info on those sites...they seem to have been edited. A prescriptio is no problem, but as a single mom with no insurance I can't afford pharmacy prices. I only lucked out in getting a foward thinking Dr at the clinic willing to prescribe but he told me to look into how I can order it so that he can write the prescription accordingly. If I have to order from overseas, anyone know of a place that will guarantee delivery, even if it gets seized or returned by customs?
Have you ordered from naturalhcg? I wonder if it is the real deal? All the research I've done has resulted in "you HAVE to have a prescription. I have e-mailed naturalhcg regarding this but no response yet.
If you get a presciption from a Dr. it is cheaper to buy from the pharmacy. I paid $67. dollars from Walmart for a 10.000 unit bottle. Then I called around anf found it cheaper at Rite Aise and Longs. Call your pharmacy in your area and ask them and you'll get an idea of a price. But you will need a presciption.
No, I have not ordered from that site. I found them to be too expensive. I believe they have all the kits associated with KT's book though. I beleive they are legit. Did they require a prescription?
HCG is hormone which means it is a protein, so freezing a protein breaks the natural bonds which would make it ineffective.
I would discuss this with the company you are ordering these from. I would hate for you to be mislead and ripped off.
I too am wanting to take the hcg shots and do the weight loss protocol, I live near Kansas City and was trying to find a physician that will do this. Have you had any luck locating a physician?
Isn't the core of the diet to stay under 600 calories?
If that is so, I can have you eating clipped toenails and you will still lose weight ON 600 CALORIES!
Come on now people, don't be fooled.
Yes the diet is 500 calories and that is what makes you lose weight. The HCG prevents the body from being stripped of muscle and releases abnormal fat deposits (Protien) during the protocol. It alters the portions of that brain that control the hunger so you can sustain the VLCD.........................It would be detrimental on the body to just try to survive on 500 calories a day. Your body would begin to utilize muscle for it protien source.
Sorry, this post took this long...I hadn't been looking on this website for a while. I'm putting spaces in the website titles in hopes of them not being edited. ***.com , ***.com, and the third one I can't seem to find right now.
I started the Kevin Trudeau protocol on monday but of course I am not doing everything on the book...I am only doing like 10 things of like the 60 he mentions and started the HCG shots yesterday (tuesday) and in a matter of a day I lost 5lbs. I am really overweight and so have a lot more to loose and probably why in 2 days I lost 5lbs. Also I walk for 45 mins to 1 hour 4 times/week. Also at the clinic I go to they recommend an 800-1000 calories/day. And of course eating healthy foods. I really feel great though...so far no side effects. I also drink about half a gallon to 1 gallon of water/day. I was skeptical at first but also frustrated and I know this wont harm me more than obesity.
There's a doc in Omaha that prescribes Releana (see releana.com) It's an oral version that you put under your tongue. I know it's a 3 hour drive, but there are people coming from Minneapolis to see him. I've been using it and an average of 0.77 lbs per day on the diet.
I HAD MY DOCTOR CALL IT IN FOR ME AT RITE AIDE. ITS $57. FOR ONE WEEK SUPPLY. i HAVE LOST 10 POUNDS SINCE i STARTED LAST mONDAY AND iM NOT FOLLOWING THE DIET EXACTLY AS IN THE BOOK.
Does anyone still look and respond to these boards? I just found them today when I started researching weight loss shots. Also, who knows if the HCG shots or the b12,lipotropic shots are better? I just need some help. Thank you
Can your regular OBGYN prescribe HCG for you? OR do you have to go to the clinic? Does anyone know of a clinic in NC that offers shots more than 1x a week? If you order through Natures Way, do you have to go get lab work, see a doctor, etc? How does the process work? If you want to, you can email me at ***@****. I have an appt with the Dr in statesville, 9/4, but I want to make sure that I am making the best choice and know all my options, because I am really interested in doing shots daily, but I dont think Dr.G offers this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks and good luck to all!
I live in Birmmingham too! Do you know the difference in the HCG shots and the b12 lipotropic shots? You can call me at ********** or email me at ***@**** Please help me if you can.
I went to my doctor today - and she won't even give me a prescription - anyone know of a doctor willing to give a prescription so I can buy at Wal-Mart?
I have just found all this too. I have an appointment in Charlotte north carolina on Monday sept. 10, I am excited and scared I guess its the unknown. I have never done anything like thisbefore. My appointment is at Weston Medsurge. I just 76 days ago quit smoking after 30 years so I DECIDED its time to get the weight off!!!!
I see a lot of people on here go to Dr. G and I have heard he is good, the only issue with him is he does not accept insurance for the HCG program and that gets expensive. There are numerous people I work with that is going to a Dr. that is right across the street from Dr. G and its @ North Cross Medical Center, they do they exact same thing as G and they accept insurance. For us we only have to pay a co-pay of $25 for each visit and Wal-Mart fills the Phentermine for $11 so you really come out cheap, anybody that is interested in doing this I would call NCM and get an appointment there before paying the high price of G.
Hi, ANYONE interested in hcg should read the orginal manuscript by DR. SIMEONS. Very helpful info on everything you want to know. I just started hcg yesterday. Day one and two you must gorge yourself to fill your "normal" fat reserves. HCG only helps you lose the "abnormal" fat. So tomorrow I start the strict 500 cal diet. PLEASE EVERYONE READ DR. SIMEONS ORGINAL INFO. Anyone can find hcg and do it them self. Very safe. Use 125- 200 ui no more than that. Some places say a larger amount every three days. Any questions read up on it, it will explain why not to. I will keep my progress posted. I know what it's like to want the change!
hcg is easy to find on line. I ordered mine from a place overseas had to do a money transfer to spain. I was scared about if they would send it or not but they did. Before you order, email and ask them how much it is for their bank to accept the money transfer. I made the mistake of not, and had to round up to about 45 dollars, which is what my bank said is about the normal fee. It took 2 weeks then it was at my door. I did however follow the orginal dr. simeons info about the hcg though. When they sent me it from spain, there were instructions very simmilar to orginal dr. simeons but not quite. So let me know if you have any questions. I'm on day 2
Phentermine is a drug so I am sure there are potential side effects to it, the ones on here that are going to see Dr.G are they not getting Phentermine also? I know 3 of my friends that have went to see Dr.G has been prescribed the Phentermine, HCG will help you lose some weight but the HCG in conjunction with Phentermine is how most do it!
Hello all! I have never heard so much good publicity over a weightloss system before so it seems that these shots really work. So, l plan to start the shots next week. I have 45lbs to lose and hope to do so within 6 months. Can anyone give me advice or a site where I can get more info on the Dr Simeons protocol? I have been on the atkins nutritional system off and on for the past 5 years and it used to work really well but know I hit plateaus really easy. I do wonder if the atkins plan works with the shots if i keep my intake at 500cal, or will i need to switch to another diet program? Thanks for any advice you may have!
Just stumbled across this site - would love to have email support buddies in the Seattle area. I live in Burien, WA. Doing this program without the help of a doctor - following Dr. S's manuscript, reading Kevin's book, ordering my hcg online, checking in at a few hcg websites, etc. I started my first load day 2 weeks ago tomorrow - so far I have lost 14.2 pounds (many more to go!).
hey, if you really want to see if it works, try it! Are you overweight? Do you need to lose a little fat. Give it a try, don't bash before you do. I started 4 days ago. I am following the exact method by the orginal dr. simeon. Seems like your all pissed off because you need a way to lose some weight. I did a lot of research myself. I am doing this process myself. I'll keep you posted. I did read KT book very good info and life style changes. But I am following the dr. simeons method. And i am alreay losing weight. Seems like you need to make some changes in your life.
if you want, serisouly, i will email you exatcly what i'm doing everyday. What i eat, how much i'm taking, my excerise, photos, whatever or all i'm just starting 4 days ago. Maybe this could be a learing tool for you. If your serious about losing weight and need some help, i will help you with anything i can.
let me know.
DON'T COMBINE DIETS. NOT A GOOD IDEA go online search through google, type dr. simeons, pounds and inches. lots will come up. read the whole manuscript. i went to www(dot)hcgdietinfo look through the sites you will find many, he will explain everything. in great detail. I started 4 days ago, going great. Must follow diet exactly. Can't exchange one veggie for another. or one fruit or meat for another. good luck. it's a great diet
If you do not agree you do not have to read any of this. Quit wasting space that others need for legitimate questions and answers and who truly want to investigate and experience weight loss.

you can only do this diet for 40 shots one per day or 34 lbs to lose says the manuscript. do not do more than that you will build up an immunity. if you need anymore help, questions, let me know. I have about 30/ 40 lbs to lose. i'm 5'3 and 147 i mean 145 now. yippee. i suggest daily shots, not every three days, you'll see, read up girlie. i'm here for you if you need it. i'm doing the shots myself. In the muscule of my butt. If your going to do it your self let me know. I have good info. Watch out for siactic nerve go online and see where it runs down you butt. Make sure you know before you give shot. I;m doing mine pretty much on my underwear line.
Great Job!!!
Did you follow any of KT's phase 1 or just Dr. S's protocol?
I started phase 1 yesterday Sept. 6. I hope to stay on it for 30 days and then start Dr. S's protocol.
hcg should be here in about 10 days. I am anxious to start the shots. Hope I can hold out 30 days.
One of the other forums here (hcg diet) I have been following closely. A lot of positive feed back.
Good Luck!
ok woke up today now 143.2 lbs doing good
walked my dog 45 mins
having tea right now. a little agave in it, has a low gylcimic index, having my fruit from lucnch for breakfast, 1/2 grapefruit.
i really thought i would be starving on this diet. i'm not.first 2 days a lil hungry when i awoke. but i'm eating my fruit from lunch to tide me over.
hey rissy, i'm gonna keep you posted so you can be a believer. C'mon girl you can do it. Try the diet before you bash it. Please read the orginal diet by dr. simeons. He will answer a lot of your questions and doubts.
i just re-read you note, i don't want to waste space, but i also have really researched hcg. I could tell ya a millions reason why your "wrong" or just plain un-informed with the correct info. But that won't matter. I started this diet 5 days ago.I want to lose about 30lbs. If you want i will send you some photos since you said you don't believe "real" people in the forum. So my offer stands. I don't want to take your $ offer, but will do this for good wholesome fun to make you a believer. Do you want some photos? Let me know. Don't be so negaitive. Reaseach Dr. Simeons, "pounds and inches"
okay so , i live in escanaba michigan, surrounding cities, are , marquette, iron mountain, manistique, anyone know any weight doctors that may prescribe the b12/hcg injection
i am not paid to say this, i have been looking hcg up for a while since my sister in Oklahoma started it, she has had a weight problem all her life, tried it all, diet pills, fade diets, atkins, some worked some did not, the ones that did left her feeling miserable, but two months ago, she went to a weight managment doctor, he gave her a shot, after a long medical history and exam, the shot, 10.00 yes 10.00 and the doc visit 60.00 this is a FAMILY owned business, they are not making a huge profit, 10.00 the price of two value meals at mcdonalds, they are honest sinsere and are trying to help obese women feel better about themselves, my lovely, happy , soon to be married sister, has lost 45 lbs, with the shots, and eating senslibly not 500 cal but 1200 so very healthy, but finally she has found something that works, so hun sweetie, u need to tell me how to prove this to you, this family owned business is very interested in ur lil dare so please please let me know how to contact u
I am leon2jo's sister. And yes I have struggled most of my adult life with my weight. If it is out there I have tried it. It is not a matter of willpower for me. Stayed on atkins for almost a year. Trust me that takes REAL willpower.
I went to a doctor in Owasso Oklahoma and after a full blood and chem workup prescribed the HCG shots as well as B12 and put me on a sensible eating program. Yes I eat between 900 to 1200 calories a day. Yes I have lost 49 pounds in two months. The girl who could not walk her dog around the block without feeling winded now walks to work (2.5 miles) at least 3 days a week.
So you want proof. Here it is. If it did not work then people like myself would not be speaking out. It sounds like your a person who is not happy until others are unhappy. Do you enjoy killing a little sunshine? It sounds to me that you are interested enough in the shots to be here attempting to disprove something you know nothing about. This means your that unhappy person or that you are a person who has a weight issue who finds it easier to knock methods than to actually put in the effort to try them. My advice to you: get off your *** make a committment and try the method before shooting off your mouth. Who are you anyway that anything needs to be "proven" to you? If you find fault with the method and dont like what people are stating an easy solution is to hit the little x at the top of the screen and go to another website. People are here to support one another. Join in or sit back and listen. Learn something. But kill the attitude.
girl, i'm so happy for you! Congradulations! Life is great isn't it!
Keep going!
As i said i'm keep my day by day posted.
i'm on day 6 woke up today a pound and a half lighter
141.6 lbs
going on a walk with my puppy about 45 mins to get the body movn' and grov'n
anyone not sure about hcg, i'm doing it myself. i'm on day 6 and was 147 now 141.6
any questions will be happy to answer
i'm happy people like amberlou have had such great suscess, keeps me motivated and puts a smile on my face!
i ordered mine online i was skeptical, but it was sent
hcgmail (dot) com
you will have to do a money transfer to spain. i know it sucks. but they well sent it, i got mine in 10 days or so maybe 12. i ordered 2 treatments. so i spent some money. I wasn't sure the self life after opening. May sure to email and ask how much a it cost for their bank to accept the money transfer. My bank said 45 dollars should cover it. I pain 10 or 20 for my bank to do the transfer. It was a little expensive but it is working. I am documenting my daily food, shot, excerise everday online. Do the reserach and read dr. simeon info. The instructions that they will sent says take ever 3 days. I'm doing mine everyday 125-200 ui. Doctors are changing very small things about the orginal diet, it is still working. However, i'm following the exact diet, it's going great. I'm on day 6. Leon, if you do these shots yourself your gonna wanna do it intramuscule in your upper butt . Go online type in sicatice never. Make your not close to it you will be paralzayed i think if you hit it. I'm doing mine about on my swimsuit line, top butt. There are certain veggies and meats, and fruits you can eat. However, you can't switch them for others that have the same calories, it's all about the foods chemical compounds. I will help you as much as you need. If you want.
read dr . simeons first he will explain "pounds and inches"
if you want i'll give ya my cell # i will answer any questions i can
ok back from walk had a 1/2 grapfruit about an hour ago. Now i'm have orgainic sol 100 grams weighed raw. Large handful spinach. I'm not a big cook so i am using lemon, dried garlic and dried onions salt and pepper. I cooked it in a little water. Ya know it's not that bad. It's warm so it's good for me.
i'll have a little tea soon i'm sure, i use agave, it has low gycemic index, so body doesn't abspore it quick. I need a little sweetness for my tea.
Okay Okay this is my last post to you because I am on here for positive informatioin, FIRST off seems u have an issue with Kevin, take it up with him , if this is working for others let them be happy, and yes understand this, how in gods name can one lose 45 lbs and not lose fat ?? I think you need to inform yourself a lil better before u begin spouting out the mouth about a doc, or person indorsing hcg, YES they wil make a profit, of course, why wouldnt they, I am yet to use this product but i have known my sister for 33 years and this is the first thing that has ever worked for her, Tell me are u a fit person, or one who has tried hcg and failed ?????
yes, i'm tracking daily on this site everthing i do, excerise wise, and eat.
I'm taking daily shots. HCG goes out of the body in about 2/3 days, you will know this because you will be super hungry. I take daily 125-200 ui
The first 2 days of the diet with shots, your suppose to eat as much fattening **** as you can, why you ask, well.... your gonna wanna have your normal fat reserves full.
The third day is the first real diet day. I was a lil hungry, i'm the type of person who eats breakfast. And with my daily walks lunch came sooner that before.
So I ate my fruit from lunch for breakfast.
From day 3 to day 6 today i went from 147 to 141.6
I know it's fat because i have a scale that shows the body fat reading.
The foods you should be eating are very important. If you want i will give you a list. All meats, veggies, and fruit that are acceptable.
DID YOU EVER WONDER WHY SUPER POOR SKINNY WOMEN IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES GIVE BIRTH TO A HEALTHLY FAT BABY.
Well, i'm gonna explain why, your body releases this hormone, hcg, millions of units. Why your wondering, well if a mom doesn't have enough food to eat, it will bring out it's reserve fat to feed the baby. A bunch of vitamins and wholesome goodness comes from the fat to nourish the baby. This hormone makes it so that the mom doesn't have to eat a whole lot, the nurishment is from the body. It doesn't eat the muscle, only the fat. It's the facts about this hcg.
Now, put this idea into effect with someone who wants to lose weight. Same idea, yes, your appetite is a whole lot less because your body is getting it's "FOOD" and "Energy" from the fat that is being released from your fat cells. Fat is energy. OK now i know your all riled up. What's going on girl- do you need some help losing weight. YES OR NO
It is a very strict diet, yes, plain and boreing with it's fruits and veggies. I work at a restaurant, and love pasta and chocolate. It is worth it to give up the things you love, food wise, sacrific for a while to lose the weight.
Now, i don't understand how you can say it doesn't work if you have never tried it. My scale has pounds and body percent on it. I know i'm losing fat and not muscle.
What do you need to believe, i have offered some photos, i'm taking them daily started yesterday on my day 5, so i have yesterday and today. Send me your email i'll send them to you, you can track my progress and see what happens.
Why are you so negative? If you need to lose weight don't be scared, i'll help you any way i can to make you a believer. I know you have done a lot of research, but you need to do a little more.
HCG IS READLIY AVALIABLE IS EVERY OTHER COUNTRY. USA BANS IT BECAUSE THEY MAKE MONEY ON PEOPLE BEING FAT!!!!! Do you at least agree that our food in this counrty is toxic and awful, our body is not ment to handle so many perservs and additives.
EVERY WONDER WHY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD EAT BREAD AND PASTA , AND CHOCOLATE, AND WINE AND REAL BUTTER AND ARE NOT FAT? IT'S OUR OWN FOOD SUPPLY THAT MAKES US FAT. Just curious did you actually read KT's book, i did, i didn't do every step or even half of them in phase one but i tell ya just doing those particular things makes a big difference in how healthy our body is.
To: Anyone in Michigan who can help get injections.
I really want to try this, it all makes sense. I got blood poisoning and was gaining 20lbs a week
after my son was born, and kept gaining till I got on thyroid medicine. Only one problem I have
yet to be able to loose weight below that initial weight gain from 20 years ago, and seeings how
this happened after my pregnancy, this makes perfect sense, that this will work. I did ask my
Doctor about it, but she did not know anything about it, and frankly was not interested in talking
to me about it. I feel this could be my one shot at getting back to my normal weight again. You
see I weighed 125lbs. when I got pregnaunt, afterwards zoomed up to 200lbs. withing weeks of
almost dieing after a careless nurse gave me blood poisoning. I have never been overweight before
in my whole life, and a matter of fact I could eat anything and never gained! It was only after my
illiness that I just can't loose, and gaining well that is no problem! I fight to stay under 245lbs. So
if anyone knows of Doctor in Grand Rapids Michigan I would love to know who they are, because I
have tried everything, and only get temporary results, and in the end double my weight loss.
thanks,

HI Everyone, I am new and trying to lose 40 lbs I put on during my 4th pregnancy. Just started my Phase 2 today....am praying for the results you all seem to be getting! I have a question....are these HCG shots supposed to BURN a little? Both my Saturday "load" shot and todays shot burned while being injected. I've never seen any of you comment on this. Is this normal? I am injecting properly, I am a nurse and have giving injections for years. Also, I am wondering, I used to work out all the time and was very fit--this was up until about 3 years ago when I got DX with an auto-immune problem..am wondering, if my body has been FIT before and healthy, will I lose wieght quicker on this plan? Anyone else in the same situation? Thanks!
if you have been putting your hcg in the fridge after opening then, yes!
The first day you open the vial you'll just feel a little pinch, then if should be reridgerated to keep fresh for the new few days, it's the coldness that burns a little.
Don't stress, sounds normal to me. If your doing daily which you should, 125- 200 your butt is gonna hurt a little too after a week or so.
read dr. simeons he invented this diet his info is called "pounds and inches" google him and read up. I'm daily tracking everything i do on this site. Also you should be injecting intermuscule in your butt. Watch out for your siacite nevre. On the swimsuite line is good.
Also, there are certain veggies and meats and fruits you should be eating to make this work efficently. One veggie can have the same calories as another, however it's all about chemical compounds of that veggie, fruit, or meat.
Hi Hippie, thanks, I've read all the Simeons info as well as KT. I was just thrown by the "sting" of the injection, it lasted about 10 minutes each time. Like I said I'm a nurse so I'm injecting correctly was just surprised! The only thing I am NOT following is the eleotin tea at this time. I cant find it! Well I found it but its WAY expensive ($150 for a MONTH). Are you all still getting good results withOUT the eleotin? I have the other teas, am drinking one now! I hate tea so I dont know how I'm gonna get through 6 weeks of this! Thanks!
Oh, sorry, dx immune means I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder, they had me on steroids for about 6 motnhs which is why I havent lost any baby weight...I have been off the steroids for about 6 months now
last week i mixed mine with saline, it stung twice so much because it was more than just hcg and it was cold, i had to take out the shot and do it twice. It does sting for me for about 10 mins too. I thought i was hitting a nevre or something that's why i orginally thought was the sting. but no it's just the hcg. Now i'm not mixing with saline so it's less sting, and less of the cold. TOday i opened new vial and yeah it was about 10mins i laid on my bed with a cotton puff.
also, about the tea, i went to wild oats and bought yerba mate. i ordered mine online the oolong tea, same as wu-long tea, i know different names, i did lots of research. I barely drink a cup a day. My belly isn't made of steel and i usally like lots of milk honey and sugar. but since you can't do this on the diet i mostly stick to water all day and the certain foods. usally i try to drink about a cup of ooolong tea with some agave, it has really low gyclemix index so body abose slowly. but i don't really like the tea. and i'm having great results.
day 7 scale didn't move pound wise, but my body fat is down a percent. I'm not to worried because i know i used more salt than i normally do. I like cucumbers with lots salt and pepper and thought this might happened as i was cooking yesterday.
just got back from walk 40 min
did my shot.
might have my apple from lunch for breakfast
also, i read some women might not lose for a day or two but then on thrid day will lose it. sometimes, it's water, sometimes it takes the body an extra day or so to regualte the fat lose.
Thanks for all the great information - I am thinking about starting this, but due to get my period soon and I read somewhere that you should stop taking the shots while menstruating. Do you all do this?
I have read Kevin Trudeau's weight loss cure and have been taking alot of the supplements he recomends for about a month. I am now going to start the colonics... in your postings you have not mentioned colonics. Do you or anyone else out there do the colonics???? Also you said that you got your HCG shots from Spain. Why didn't you order it from Dr Simeons Ponds and Inches web site?? They do not ask for a prescription either.Do you think theirs is safe, or the real thing??It cost $35.00 for 5000 I.U. but it cost $40.00 to ship it.I am thinking of ordering it from them..What do you think??
well, there is many reasons why i ordered from hcgmail (dot) com.
first it doesn't ask for a perscription, for whatever reason. I reaseachered all the companies that they said they would send i think 3 different european brands. Also the places on the different web sites that i did see said you would have to go to your doctor and have a bunch of test, i didn't want to do that. I'm really a pretty healthy person. I eat mostly organic stuff anyhow, besides chocolate. I don't get sick but maybe once a year after a long flight and sitting next to a sick person, so i figure i have a good immmune system. My family doesn't have a history of sicknesses. And i didn't want the run around from my doctor with jumpiung through hoops. Some of the websites i came across said they would they would send the shot already mixed and ready to inject. I also didn't know for sure how long the shot would last after it was mixed without being refrigerated. How long had they had it opened for either, these were all the things i was wondering. the website i went to it was like 150$ for 4 vials 1500 each, enough to last 1 whole treatment, or maybe 190, i forget, but shipping was 15 dollars, and there is a charge for their bank to accept the money transfer. (if you do order from them email and ask how much it is for their bank to accept, i didn't and my bank said 45$ should cover it) I will check out the site( dr simeons), but don't recall it. Also dr. simeons is dead, has been for a while. So i wonder who is running their site. I don't know, could be the real thing. Find out how they send it, mixed or not. That's what is most important. If your doing the shot your self upper butt muscule, i do mine on my swimsuite line, (i'm a girl) and i do it daily. 125-200 as said in KT book and manuscript. It turns out to be a little more from where i ordered but, i know that they work.
As for the colonics, i called around, like 80 $ per time. Way to expensive for me. I did a complete body clense, took some pills for about 2 weeks, blood, liver, kindney, and bought an enemia from a medical supply shop. I didn't by the little one timer as big as a water bottle. I bought the one that has a big bag about the size of a pice of paper. It is reusable, and filled with warm water. Ya know, it worked just fine. I eat a lot of salads, and veggies, so i have pretty normal movements. I guess depending on your diet and age, like if your 40 and only meats and cheese, no veggies and greans for fiber maybe your all jammed up. I would look into one of those bowl clense that they sell at the health shop. Then give your self a few enemia's i'm sure you'll be ok. I was cleaned out. Those things work pretty well. Colonics are the same, it's just if you don't want to actually do the dirty work. good luck keep me posted, have any more questions will be happy to help.
please tell me the website you wrote about, there are so many
don't put www skip that and put websit name (dot) so that it doesn't get edited out.
i'll check it out
150IU seems to be a lot to take in one day, all my friends that are taking it are taking about 50IU once a week along with phentermine. Two of which have lost 50+ pounds each, one of them lost that in 3 months and one in 4 months and are still on it and still losing weight. What state are you ladies in? Just a little friendly advice but you need to check the state laws on importing this because in some stated HCG is considered a schedule III drug and you would not want feds knocking on your door.
What gauge needle and length are you using? To inject it into your glutes and be intramuscular you need no less than an inch long needle, really you need an inch and a half. No wonder yall are getting sore, the ones I know that are taking it is with a 27gauge 5/8" insulin needle in the stomach and you cant feel it. If ordering it online is a must for yall then hit me up on email and I will give youthe name of a website that sells it for $9 for 2000IU amps, and you can get the bacteriostatic water for $5 a 30cc bottle on 1fast400 dot well you know the rest. For less than $25 with shipping you can have 2000IU,
Don't rely on electronic scales to be accurate for determining body fat %. Although they will give you some indication they only use a mathmatical formula based on your height and current weight. So any time you have a weight loss or gain it will change. Even if it is fluid weight. If you have a considerable amount of muscle weight the electronic scales can be off 10% or more from what your actual % body fat truly is. The only accurate measurement is with body calipers and body measurements. Not saying you have not lost fat but the actual % body fat could be considerably lower than what the scales will show you in its calculations.You can google calculating body fat% and find the formulas and measurements required to get an accurate determination.
I'm new but I've been reading your forums for a few months now while I was a making a decision, so I feel like I know you all! Well my first day, I'm down 3.6 lbs! Which I guess is ok, right? Its the same 3 lbs I put on during the gorge so I'm back where I started, but I am optimistic. I have 35lbs to lose, anyone with progress like that to share, to keep me positive? The first day was not too bad, except I'm used to a pot of creamy sugary coffee every day, the tea is gonna be tough! Is it as effective if I drink COLD tea rather than HOT? Well all in all its a good start I guess...but I was STARVING around 10pm last night. Anyway thanks for all your posts, would love to read some more encouraging progress from you guys! Its inspiring!
okay i have searced and searched and searched !!! No offices in Upper mIchigan that administer the shot, grr, so i am expanding my search to the Green Bay Wisconsin area, or even lower Michigan PLEase anyone with any ideas please please let me know
Today is my first day of shots and the first gorge day. Right now I fell a little on the sick side form all that I've eaten. Today when I went to have my first load shot and receive my packet for the next week, they told me to be sure and eat ALOT today. If I didn't I would get weak on day 3 when I start the 500 calorie a day diet. I know it might be weird b/c I'm 40 lbs. over weight but I'm struggling to get all this food down. Also, someone wrote in and said they were putting Agave in their tea and they told me today to absolutley not use Agave only Stevia, hope that helps.
I'll keep ya posted with my progress as well.
Hcg does not make you lose weight. The 500 calorie diet makes you lose weight. Hcg just makes you lose bad reserves of fat not sructural or good reserves. After you lose the bad reserves you won't lose anymore.
I'm doing 175 iu per day. My clinic told me that patients who had used 200 were more apt to building up a immunity to HCG at that dose. Are you doing injections for 45 days? Just thought you might want to know incase you see that your not loosing the weight that others do at a lower dose. Don't think I'm trying to correct you, I'm new at this just started today. By the way what website are you getting yours?
Hey guys... I'm in phase 3 and holding steady at a 21 lb weight loss! I'll do another round of phase 2 in mid-October!
For anyone who wants more information or wants to start a group in Seattle please email me as I rarely check this board. private4now [at] gmail [dot] com. :)
You said you are going to a clinic and they gave you a packet for next week.. does that mean you are giving yourself the shots too? If so where did the tell you to inject them? and what size needle? I read that the insuline needles given in the stomach is notwhere it is supposed to be given. Just wanted to know where a clinic tells you to do it.
Thanks

I've been reading those threads related to the hCG shots for weight loss subject, and I suspect that once again (as it happened in 1974) the method will be misused by all those who only wish to grab a commercial profit from its use.
Please let me remind you again, and again, and again, that hCG is a PRESCRIPTION drug that MUST be dispensed by a licensed Physician.
hCG injections are PART of a comprehensive weight reduction program. hCG administration is just ONE aspect of the complete hCG +diet program.
Unfortunately many Healthcare Professionals modified the original method based on their own assumptions on how the method operates.
In some cases modifications were performed to the extent that they do not include any of the basic and fundamental postulates of the hCG protocol, resulting in UNWANTED or side-effects.
We set forth that much of the negative publicity surrounding the method is due to the lack of proper validation by the appropriate governmental agencies, such that it has been marginally performed often by untrained personnel, under uncontrolled conditions. Thus, the protocol has been modified or misinterpreted, leading to unsuccessful results.
To obtain medical advice concerning obesity and safe ways to lose weight, or other medical matters, seek the counsel of a knowledgeable and competent specialized physician.

Thanks all in advance for your HELP!
Where in Washington DC can one obtain these shots?
I am intrested in getting the HCG injection and can only find it in North Carolina. I have an appointment on 11/22. The problem is that I live in VT and that is far to travel. I will if I have to but, does anyone know of anyplace local????

I have a few responses to several of the statements I have read. Several of you wanted to know where to get the hcg shot. There is a location in Lavergne, TN on Waldron Road. The staff is excellant. I started this program along with 3 friends. We have had great success.
One of you stated you are still hungry during the day. Eat more protein, make sure you follow the diet plan with a meat at lunch and dinner.
I have not been sick at all, infact I have felt better than normal. Not tired at all.
Have a great day
I noticed some of you talking about the HcG shot, and Dr.G in Huntersville, NC. I live in that area, but wanted some more info on the shots/pills. Do you have to take the shots and pills in combination? I have heard you can just take the pills, and you can get the pills through your regular doctor. Does anyone know if this is true? Also does anyone know the name of the pills? What type of diet do you have to maintain while on the shots? What is the price of the shots and pill?? As you can see I need to know all the basics.
Well for any of you reading this, I hope you found is useful!

Years ago I took the HCG shots at a Lindora clinic, and had great results and no side effects. Since then this clinic has stopped this practice. Does anyone know if there is a clinic in LA or Ventura county in Ca?

Good Luck!!!
Dr Simeon was a brilliant researcher as well as practicing Doctor, and his protocol was very precise, developed out of his findings from years of perfecting the hcg approach.
I would recommend, if you are interested in doing this, that you read his original manuscript and follow it EXACTLY!!!
This is where it can be found on the web for free.
When his protocol is followed exactly you can expect weight loss of about a pound and day, and have tons of energy and not suffer from hunger at all on a 500 calorie a day diet. If you are losing significantly less than that, and/or if you are battling hunger, it is a sure sign that you are doing something wrong.
If you study his manuscript, you will understand what you are supposed to do, and you will know where you are off track if you aren't getting the results I've mentioned above.
Thanx

HCG IS AVAILABLE BY PRESCRIPTION ONLY. I TRIED THAT WEB SITE AND IT NEVER MENTIONED A PRESCRIPTION.
I FOUND A LOCAL DOCTOR, BUT HE ONLY GIVES 3 SHOTS PER WEEK 35 UNITS EACH.
I'M STILL TRING TO FIND A DOCTOR WHO WILL PRESCRIBE THE WAY DR. SIMEONS SAYS.
\\Someone commented on it but didnt post the website. Maybe if it isnt written like an email it will post.
Also, I found the Simeons manuscript on hcg diet info.
I wonder if it is the real deal?
All the research I've done has resulted in "you HAVE to have a prescription.
I have e-mailed naturalhcg regarding this but no response yet.
Are you with naturalhcg? Monitoring this site?
I would discuss this with the company you are ordering these from. I would hate for you to be mislead and ripped off.
Good luck
If that is so, I can have you eating clipped toenails and you will still lose weight ON 600 CALORIES!
Come on now people, don't be fooled.
whats the company you ordered
Did you do Phase One of KT's book?

hcg should be here in about 10 days. I am anxious to start the shots. Hope I can hold out 30 days.
One of the other forums here (hcg diet) I have been following closely. A lot of positive feed back.
Good Luck!

i really thought i would be starving on this diet. i'm not.first 2 days a lil hungry when i awoke. but i'm eating my fruit from lunch to tide me over.
hey rissy, i'm gonna keep you posted so you can be a believer. C'mon girl you can do it. Try the diet before you bash it. Please read the orginal diet by dr. simeons. He will answer a lot of your questions and doubts.
let me know
lunch halibut ( organic) with spinach salad
dinner tomatoes and beef
I went to a doctor in Owasso Oklahoma and after a full blood and chem workup prescribed the HCG shots as well as B12 and put me on a sensible eating program. Yes I eat between 900 to 1200 calories a day. Yes I have lost 49 pounds in two months. The girl who could not walk her dog around the block without feeling winded now walks to work (2.5 miles) at least 3 days a week.
So you want proof. Here it is. If it did not work then people like myself would not be speaking out. It sounds like your a person who is not happy until others are unhappy. Do you enjoy killing a little sunshine? It sounds to me that you are interested enough in the shots to be here attempting to disprove something you know nothing about. This means your that unhappy person or that you are a person who has a weight issue who finds it easier to knock methods than to actually put in the effort to try them. My advice to you: get off your *** make a committment and try the method before shooting off your mouth. Who are you anyway that anything needs to be "proven" to you? If you find fault with the method and dont like what people are stating an easy solution is to hit the little x at the top of the screen and go to another website. People are here to support one another. Join in or sit back and listen. Learn something. But kill the attitude.
Keep going!
As i said i'm keep my day by day posted.

good extra info if you havn't
hcgmail (dot) com
you will have to do a money transfer to spain. i know it sucks. but they well sent it, i got mine in 10 days or so maybe 12. i ordered 2 treatments. so i spent some money. I wasn't sure the self life after opening. May sure to email and ask how much a it cost for their bank to accept the money transfer. My bank said 45 dollars should cover it. I pain 10 or 20 for my bank to do the transfer. It was a little expensive but it is working. I am documenting my daily food, shot, excerise everday online. Do the reserach and read dr. simeon info. The instructions that they will sent says take ever 3 days. I'm doing mine everyday 125-200 ui. Doctors are changing very small things about the orginal diet, it is still working. However, i'm following the exact diet, it's going great. I'm on day 6. Leon, if you do these shots yourself your gonna wanna do it intramuscule in your upper butt . Go online type in sicatice never. Make your not close to it you will be paralzayed i think if you hit it. I'm doing mine about on my swimsuit line, top butt. There are certain veggies and meats, and fruits you can eat. However, you can't switch them for others that have the same calories, it's all about the foods chemical compounds. I will help you as much as you need. If you want.
read dr . simeons first he will explain "pounds and inches"
if you want i'll give ya my cell # i will answer any questions i can
i'll have a little tea soon i'm sure, i use agave, it has low gycemic index, so body doesn't abspore it quick. I need a little sweetness for my tea.
I'm taking daily shots. HCG goes out of the body in about 2/3 days, you will know this because you will be super hungry. I take daily 125-200 ui
The first 2 days of the diet with shots, your suppose to eat as much fattening **** as you can, why you ask, well.... your gonna wanna have your normal fat reserves full.
The third day is the first real diet day. I was a lil hungry, i'm the type of person who eats breakfast. And with my daily walks lunch came sooner that before.
So I ate my fruit from lunch for breakfast.
From day 3 to day 6 today i went from 147 to 141.6
I know it's fat because i have a scale that shows the body fat reading.
The foods you should be eating are very important. If you want i will give you a list. All meats, veggies, and fruit that are acceptable.
DID YOU EVER WONDER WHY SUPER POOR SKINNY WOMEN IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES GIVE BIRTH TO A HEALTHLY FAT BABY.
Well, i'm gonna explain why, your body releases this hormone, hcg, millions of units. Why your wondering, well if a mom doesn't have enough food to eat, it will bring out it's reserve fat to feed the baby. A bunch of vitamins and wholesome goodness comes from the fat to nourish the baby. This hormone makes it so that the mom doesn't have to eat a whole lot, the nurishment is from the body. It doesn't eat the muscle, only the fat. It's the facts about this hcg.
Now, put this idea into effect with someone who wants to lose weight. Same idea, yes, your appetite is a whole lot less because your body is getting it's "FOOD" and "Energy" from the fat that is being released from your fat cells. Fat is energy. OK now i know your all riled up. What's going on girl- do you need some help losing weight. YES OR NO
It is a very strict diet, yes, plain and boreing with it's fruits and veggies. I work at a restaurant, and love pasta and chocolate. It is worth it to give up the things you love, food wise, sacrific for a while to lose the weight.
Now, i don't understand how you can say it doesn't work if you have never tried it. My scale has pounds and body percent on it. I know i'm losing fat and not muscle.
What do you need to believe, i have offered some photos, i'm taking them daily started yesterday on my day 5, so i have yesterday and today. Send me your email i'll send them to you, you can track my progress and see what happens.
Why are you so negative? If you need to lose weight don't be scared, i'll help you any way i can to make you a believer. I know you have done a lot of research, but you need to do a little more.
HCG IS READLIY AVALIABLE IS EVERY OTHER COUNTRY. USA BANS IT BECAUSE THEY MAKE MONEY ON PEOPLE BEING FAT!!!!! Do you at least agree that our food in this counrty is toxic and awful, our body is not ment to handle so many perservs and additives.
EVERY WONDER WHY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD EAT BREAD AND PASTA , AND CHOCOLATE, AND WINE AND REAL BUTTER AND ARE NOT FAT? IT'S OUR OWN FOOD SUPPLY THAT MAKES US FAT. Just curious did you actually read KT's book, i did, i didn't do every step or even half of them in phase one but i tell ya just doing those particular things makes a big difference in how healthy our body is.
GIRL what's up, what do you need?
after my son was born, and kept gaining till I got on thyroid medicine. Only one problem I have
yet to be able to loose weight below that initial weight gain from 20 years ago, and seeings how
this happened after my pregnancy, this makes perfect sense, that this will work. I did ask my
Doctor about it, but she did not know anything about it, and frankly was not interested in talking
to me about it. I feel this could be my one shot at getting back to my normal weight again. You
see I weighed 125lbs. when I got pregnaunt, afterwards zoomed up to 200lbs. withing weeks of
almost dieing after a careless nurse gave me blood poisoning. I have never been overweight before
in my whole life, and a matter of fact I could eat anything and never gained! It was only after my
illiness that I just can't loose, and gaining well that is no problem! I fight to stay under 245lbs. So
if anyone knows of Doctor in Grand Rapids Michigan I would love to know who they are, because I
have tried everything, and only get temporary results, and in the end double my weight loss.
thanks,

The first day you open the vial you'll just feel a little pinch, then if should be reridgerated to keep fresh for the new few days, it's the coldness that burns a little.
Don't stress, sounds normal to me. If your doing daily which you should, 125- 200 your butt is gonna hurt a little too after a week or so.
read dr. simeons he invented this diet his info is called "pounds and inches" google him and read up. I'm daily tracking everything i do on this site. Also you should be injecting intermuscule in your butt. Watch out for your siacite nevre. On the swimsuite line is good.
Also, there are certain veggies and meats and fruits you should be eating to make this work efficently. One veggie can have the same calories as another, however it's all about chemical compounds of that veggie, fruit, or meat.
Read Dr. Simeons "Pounds and inches"
just got back from walk 40 min
did my shot.
might have my apple from lunch for breakfast
also, i read some women might not lose for a day or two but then on thrid day will lose it. sometimes, it's water, sometimes it takes the body an extra day or so to regualte the fat lose.
first it doesn't ask for a perscription, for whatever reason. I reaseachered all the companies that they said they would send i think 3 different european brands. Also the places on the different web sites that i did see said you would have to go to your doctor and have a bunch of test, i didn't want to do that. I'm really a pretty healthy person. I eat mostly organic stuff anyhow, besides chocolate. I don't get sick but maybe once a year after a long flight and sitting next to a sick person, so i figure i have a good immmune system. My family doesn't have a history of sicknesses. And i didn't want the run around from my doctor with jumpiung through hoops. Some of the websites i came across said they would they would send the shot already mixed and ready to inject. I also didn't know for sure how long the shot would last after it was mixed without being refrigerated. How long had they had it opened for either, these were all the things i was wondering. the website i went to it was like 150$ for 4 vials 1500 each, enough to last 1 whole treatment, or maybe 190, i forget, but shipping was 15 dollars, and there is a charge for their bank to accept the money transfer. (if you do order from them email and ask how much it is for their bank to accept, i didn't and my bank said 45$ should cover it) I will check out the site( dr simeons), but don't recall it. Also dr. simeons is dead, has been for a while. So i wonder who is running their site. I don't know, could be the real thing. Find out how they send it, mixed or not. That's what is most important. If your doing the shot your self upper butt muscule, i do mine on my swimsuite line, (i'm a girl) and i do it daily. 125-200 as said in KT book and manuscript. It turns out to be a little more from where i ordered but, i know that they work.
As for the colonics, i called around, like 80 $ per time. Way to expensive for me. I did a complete body clense, took some pills for about 2 weeks, blood, liver, kindney, and bought an enemia from a medical supply shop. I didn't by the little one timer as big as a water bottle. I bought the one that has a big bag about the size of a pice of paper. It is reusable, and filled with warm water. Ya know, it worked just fine. I eat a lot of salads, and veggies, so i have pretty normal movements. I guess depending on your diet and age, like if your 40 and only meats and cheese, no veggies and greans for fiber maybe your all jammed up. I would look into one of those bowl clense that they sell at the health shop. Then give your self a few enemia's i'm sure you'll be ok. I was cleaned out. Those things work pretty well. Colonics are the same, it's just if you don't want to actually do the dirty work. good luck keep me posted, have any more questions will be happy to help.
40 min dog walk early am
