HCG injections/inability to lose weight ???????

I started HCG injections in Dec.2006 and lost 8 pounds....then 2 pounds in Jan......then only 2 pounds in Feb............everyone seems to be having GREAT results with these injections and a diet pill and I am not having the same results....so my Dr. did a thyroid test and it came back perfectly normal.....Has anyone experienced these type of results with the HCG injections......I can't get my Dr. or anyone to give me any real answers as to why I am not able to lose weight.....I eat very healthy......high protein/low carb.....and walk 3 miles daily and just started working out at a gym....but not long enough to have built up "muscle" yet.....Any suggestions????????? I am not obsessed with losing weight anymore.....I am obsessed with my inability to lose weight now......HELP!

I have lost 48 pounds, and am on my second 40-day round of hcg. The first time I lost 27 pounds in 40 days. So far this time its 21 pounds in 26 days, so I am doing better. I do the shots/injections. I eat 450-500 calories a day, off the "pounds and inches" protocol ( you can find it on the internet). You are NOT supposed to eat more than 500 cal or you will stop your weight loss.
You are supposed to take a 6 week break in between rounds, not stay on them indefinitely. Your body has to reset your metabolism in between rounds. I did not gain more than 2 pounds in that six week period, or I would just watch what I ate the next day.
I use a clinic called Hcg Medical. They are online. They are pricey, but worth it. I love my 48 pound weight loss, and I am still losing. My triglycerides went from 400 to 91. It's a healthy way to lose but you HAVE to ONLY eat the foods on the list!! NO CHEATING!!

you guys are over paying goin to a clinic,  there are no real side effects of this diet....i found it out here in vegas by chance in a newspaper article and found the injections myself.......followed protocol to a t and my wife 30 days 26 and myself 30 23 pounds......Its only a 500 calorie diet with especific foods.  We did not deveate from that and when you stall an enema or herbal laxitive tea will do the trick.  I had a week were i didn't use the bathroom and i was backed up.  Took the tea and was right on track.  There is too much info out there and too many people changing or adding to the actual protocol......just follow the manuscript and the rest will come.......I here some of you talking about bmi and how much you are being injected......confussed.....it calls for 125iu to 200iu....The clinics want you to take 250iu to 300iu why to make more money......all that extra hcg is wasted by the body.  I'm not a doctor just a guy who lost 23lbs and that has done lots of research....not qualified by any means......good luck to all and follow the original dr simeons protocall word by word and you will loose. One more thing dietary deficiencies while doing my research on hcg and the 500 calorie diet.  There is no defeciencies because the hcg is emptying your fat cells and saturating you blood with fats and proteins which are then passed through urine.  We had no hunger pains during phase 2 and some days i really had problems eating the 500 calories a day.  We weren't tired we bought b12 as instructed in pills and sublingual and still have them all.......By week 2 your mentality changes because of the progresss making it easier  day by day........................do your research and follow the original not what someone has added or modified.........

good luck to all

Hello!

You would need to plan a proper diet chart consisting of high fiber carbohydrate, proteins and minimal fat with the required minerals and vitamins with the help of a dietician and follow this religiously.

Start some form of cardio and do not do any exercises which will create further problems to your back.

Swimming, walking, jogging are activities suggested for you which you should do regularly for a period of 30-45 minutes.

Follow proper ergonomics and wear proper footwear.

Take care!

Hello!

Do not decrease your diet to a level where it will give you problems with dietary deficiencies. After calculating your BMI discuss with a dietician and go ahead.

Take care!

hey guys I noticed most of you are on a 1000 cal diet. I'm on a 500 cal diet. Maybe itwould help yall that are having problems on the diet to decrease the caloric value. I dont know if our states differ cause my nurses told me to stick to 500 cal a day according to my hcg diet.
I take  an injection of 25 and I am 5'4 tall, I way 156. I hope to lose 25 lbs. Good luck to all!

I ordered from Body SolutionsRX.com out of Colorodo.  It has been 3 weeks and no product. I have called numerous times and always get transfered to voicemail or given the run around. Has anyone else used this company with good results with shipping. I  am starting to think that maybe I should notify the proper authorities concerning them. Anyone out there have a reason why I should wait a couple of days before doing this?

actually if you follow the original protocol by Dr. Simeons.....it is only a 500 calorie a day diet.  The hcg helps control your hunger to a certain degree, and all I have to say is the proof is in the results!!  IF you have weight to lose......try it!!

Maybe you need to stick with the 500 calories to be successful.  Are you following the protocol by Dr. Simeons?  I lost 10 1bs in two weeks on the diet, but I have cheated some.   My dad lost 30 1bs in six weeks, but he did not cheat.

I have have lost 18lbs while on HCG and the pill. The first month was easy! But that was mainly water. If you are dedicated in getting heathly, you must exercise eat right and have a life long change. The more weight you loss the harder it gets to loss more. 2 to 3 lbs a month is average. Just keep living healthy and the weight will come off. I have 17 more lbs to go and I know it only gets harder?

The reason why it's so hard to find a doctor who does it is because hcg is not approved by the FDA for weight loss which means any doctor who IS doing it IS going agains their code of ethics!  Red flags anyone?  Has anyone been able to successfully keep this weight off after stopping the injections?!?!

You all obviosly bought Kevin the con mans book. He's an idiot a liar a cheat amongst all. How can you all with your different weights stick to the sam measly 1000 calorie diet and expect to lose fat and not muscle? Any doctor that would give you HcG injections is a jerk too, and you might as well get human growth hormone from him too. Go to a dietician and find out what your needs are, everyone has different activity levels and dietary needs. Cardio is not the answer to losing fat, perhaps the scale will say you lost weight but most likely it's going to be water or muscle. Resistance training, some cardio, good eating will give you slow steady, permanant results without falling into the fads and the crooks trying to sell you the magic pill.

i recently found a doctor to prescribe hcg they have offices in quite a few states it's called transformations u can call them and get info on other states i know they have some in texas and they have been doing these shots with 20 years experience they also supply appetite suppressents to help with food cravings only if u want them i like it because u r still being monitored and it's so much less exspensive then mail order and a lot safer if u have any questions email me at ***@**** my first appointment is nov 12 i just feel more comfortable being monitored
since i have diabetes and high blood pressure

If you go to the website mentioned in Kevin's book (naturalcures.com), there is an 800# you can call to get HCG.  I called them and got information, but decided not to do it.  I'm doing another approach with a local doctor (Georgia).  If THIS approach doesn't work, I may give HCG a try, especially if I hear more positive results from users.  I hope you find what you need.

I got 'Pounds and Inches Away' guide -- it's on e-bay.  It is a guide to doing Dr. Simeons diet and has a lot about breaking plateaus, ordering, and everything else to do the hcg diet.  It is working great for me and some other people doing it with me.  Other people have posted good reviews too.  I don't know of a pill in hcg form, but under the tongue liquid is starting to get more positive feedback.  Still the shots seem most dependable.
