Has anyone experienced any bad side effects from the hcg shots?  I am administering them myself and just want to know what to look out for.

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

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

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

There are NO quick fix diet solutions!!!!  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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