Hello! First off I want to say that this question is for people who KNOW the HCG Diet and have had success, not for those who have maybe heard about it but have not done the research or want to tell me all about exercise and salads (which are great, but I need a kickstart). I have made up my mind to do this diet and have ordered and am waiting for the injections and supplies to be delivered. I just need some advice/encouragement/success stories from those who have successfully completed this diet. I have about 45lbs to lose to get to a more ideal weight so I am expecting to have to go through two rounds of injections.

Thanks in advance!

I started this diet in May, but worked with a local doctor who managed this process. I took a prescription appetite suppressant that was incredibly beneficial as well. The diet is difficult at first but really helped me control my eating and learn healthier habits. The structure of going to the doctor's office and weighing in each week really helped me. I lost 17 lbs in total, just in time to be expecting my second baby! I know it was a surprise to me! I'm not so sure about doing it on my own though. Best of luck to you and update me on how everything goes for you.

Daughter and her freind did it. will let her know when she gets back and she could tell u about it. I like my carbs to much to use this diet and no sugar also and cannot use hair shampoo with oil in it or bath soaps with oil. It is pretty complicated I know u have to check all labels and make sure no sugar in items or oils in them and follow it exactly. U may have control like my daughter. I just used a product called limu lean and did well with it and I think less expensive than the hcg diet My daughter is on vacation. Will have her write u when she gets back and she can answer questions u have about it if you would like

YOU GO GIRL!!! first of all good for you for wanting to better yourself! ok. I am 40 yrs old and 5'3" 185lbs, just celebrated baby's 1st birthday (yes, I know wow! she was a surprise!!) 3rd baby and last. I am doing this right now and will proabably do two rounds if not three. But once you stop losing, you know after you have been on round 2 or3 then that is all the "abnormal" fat you are going to lose and your body is where it should be. This is my first round and in 26 days i have lost 18pounds!! You CAN do it. it is a little difficult at first becuase i was eating anything my heart desired. That is why i am in weight where i am. NO MORE!!! I will be in control with what i put in MY mouth. and you know what, i really don't miss the breads and pastas anymore. If i may suggest buying a hCG cookbook because chicken does get boring after awhile. I bought THE HCG DIET GOURMET COOKBOOK by Tammy Skye on Amazon and I am GLAD i did. there are over 200 recipes and simple ones that i didn't even think about! my favorite is sliced apples with stevia powder(health food store sweetner with out the aspartame junk) with lots of cinnamon on it! YUMMM!!! My friends moticed the weight loss and i shared it with them. One friend started 8 days ago and is losing 6lbs. She was 156 now 150 lbs. My other friend has lost 7 pounds her first week too and she is not over wieght. BUT i am doing the drops so are my friends. We are not going to any doctor either. We have just been supporting each other. I want to lose about 50 lbs so i will be doing another round after my 3weeks off.
It is so encouraging you want to continue becuase you see the weight drop off daiily!! purchase a digital scale for home. we all did and we see results everyday, which is encouraging! I am so excited! Good for you! YOU can do it! oh, i have cheated, and you don't always lose 2 everyday, some days it could just be ounces, which is ok. Just keep going, it still coming off even if it is just ounces. That is how we got there (fatty girls) in the first place! Good luck, if you want encouragement or anything else let me know!!

I have seen it work great. 2 people I know who are on it have lost 35 and 40 pounds, but you have to know that it is very restrictive. From days 3 until day 40, you are only allowed 500 calories for the entire day. You get 4 oz of meat and 2 cups vegis for lunch and dinner, with no sauces or flavorings, and 2 pieces of fruit each day, no substitutions. Be sure you can stick to this before starting.
