HCG Diet - KILL ME.

Your body needs more calories than that to properly function. Sounds very dangerous... I would suggest consulting your doctor.

*cont* And I ended the night with another handful of strawberries. And although it's 1am and I literally am having trouble sleeping because i'm SO hungry... I've literally lost 4 lbs since this morning. ALL WATER WEIGHT. I know that because those drops have made me pee every ten minutes ALL day. So I'm excited! And famished. I think after these 21 days are up, I may eat a whole cow. Or my own hand.

It's okay, I did talk to my doctor. You aren't supposed to do exercising at first until after your first phase is done so you can save your calorie intake. After these first couple weeks I'll be up to over twice as many calories.

I never understood why you need the drops because if you are only eating 500 cal.you are starving yourself and will definitely loose weight anyway!

Lol the drops give you essentials nutrients that actually feed your body, or I would be starving myself

Oops, or what see-rizzy said! lol

Lea M. I have a friend who did the HCG Diet and lost 60 lbs in 2 months. I did it and lost 15lbs in 3 weeks. I went off it, and now am back on it to loose the rest of the weight before my wedding.

I think that for me, the drops just keep me from getting hungry, which really really helps. I also am in a 3day a week Boot Camp Exercize program with a personal trainer.

As a Diabetic I need to be careful and I had my Dr's ok before I started. I supplement with protien shakes/smoothies so I am not totally on 500 cal a day but I am still loosing the weight.

I think the goal is to try to stay at 500 calories but I'm sure not everyone does it every single day. Kudos to you for doing the boot camp during the week too! I just walk around the neighborhood in the mornings.. anything else and I may fall over haha.

The drops cause your body to think it's pregnant, so when your body breaks down the 500 cals you ate and realizes that's not enough to feed the "baby" it thinks your carrying it starts to eat away at fat cells..

The hungry feeling is supposed to go away after a couple days. My mom is one her 2nd round of this diet and has lost close to 40 lbs. I tried it just to see (since I've gained about 20 lbs since I moved here and really want to get rid of most of it) but because I'm really not overweight and don't have that much fat tissue on my body, there wasn't enough for my body to eat at, so after 4 days I was still feeling hungry all the time so I gave up.... (I was getting really cranky because my stomach was always growling) But in the 4 days I did it I lost 7 lbs... though because I didn't slowly work back up to a normal diet like you do I gained most of it back..

You start at 500 cals no sugar no carbs for 3 weeks, then move to 1500 cals still no sugar no carbs for 3 weeks

And then after those 3 weeks you go back to eating whatever you want, but IN MODERATION of course... if you are really good about following the diet, it does work, but you can't cheat... you have to be really strict with yourself..

another thing that is supposed to help get rid of the hunger for the first few days is to take an extra drop in the middle of the day

and one more thing, you should be changing up the meats and veggies that you eat during the day, your lunch should be completely different from your dinner.

So if you have chicken and green beans for lunch, have steak and broccoli for dinner, or something like that. and just make sure you are not cooking them in any sort of fat

I did that diet lost 30 lbs... I LOVE IT!!!! Stick to the plan it will pay off... one cheat and you will gain and stall... not worth it at all. You will only be hungry for the first week or so then it goes away. People who havn't been on it don't understand it... It's hard at first but I say go to an HCG support site... it will keep you motivated. Here is a before and after picture.

I am so excited to ehar about this Im getting married in 92 days and I have 40(at the most) that I want to just drop off and I am also a diebetic so now I know that I can take it thanx guys!!

Also has anyone tried the acai berry stuff? i got the pills but i havent taken it because I think it only works while your on it so I'm going to wait til I'm closer to the wedding

Lindsay- I take Acai berry pills and I am doing weight watchers. Acai makes me not want to eat sweets so that is a good thing for this choc queen

I started dieting this past week and but I am cranky! I have cut out all soda and nothing but water. Not even juice! I am sticking to it, even though I am super hungry all the time. I just started cutting back all my portions and stay hungry, but I have to start eating healthy, and I'm being honest when I say I'm not a healthy eater. I also started zumba a few months ago and love it. And I always say, look at the first three letters in diet....it feels like its the end! Lol

Katrina- do you know if you just works or only while your taking it?I dont care what I do I just want to drop the wieght. I know its bad but at this point I just want to look like the girl he feel in love with....FH has never made me feel fat or anything but I know he was attracted to size 3 girl in math class not the mommy jeans girl who cant leave the house with out spanx

I know people who have done it and I totally sympathize honey because it IS verrrry HARD. DL myfitnesspal.com on your phone..it REALLYYYYY helps because it has all the calories that are in things...convenient when youre out! =)) BESSSST of LUCK to you!!!!

And thanks for posting pics on your success Ryan T. You look soooo super cute =))) Im soo happy for you too!!!

?? These drops I assume they must be given to you by your Dr? I would loveeeee to get my hands on those drops!! I have 15 stubborn pounds from having our son 16 months ago. I work out 4-5 times a wk and eat very well..being in my 30's the baby weight doesn't fall off easy like it used to.

Ok, so I'm on a diet as well but I use Herbalife and its been working but maybe this HCG thing will work right before the wedding to lose any extra weight that I might not get off. My FH and I are going to start trying the night of the wedding, think the HCG diet will affect my chances of conceiving right away?

Is the dosage different between the shots or the drops? Do they work differently? I've been interested in this diet for a while but have been tentative since i'm loving my sweets :/

Nevermind the questions above, i just went on Web MD and checked it out here's the link if anyone else is interested.
