Re: Liza: HCG

[Guest guest]

Hi Liz, I just asked the same question about bio-identicals. We must have hit

the send button at the same time. I have taken HRT (Premarin) since 2005, but I

was just diagnosed with fibro in June. I can't say if normal HRT helps., but I

have seen several Websites for bio-identicals that bio-identicals relieve/cure

fibro and other autoimmune disorders. -

Hello Liza, and welcome to our group. Can I ask you is the HCG diet the

ketogenic diet that uses hormones to supress the appetite? If it is I am not too

surprised it has helped you with your fibro, Ketosis is indeed the best

treatment I have found for fibro.

 

I am not as certain about the hormones. I don't know that much about them, but

generally fibro folk do not do well with hormones and I am thinking this part of

the diet would have a negative effect on me

 

The other thing I was wondering about the HCG diet (Can you tell I have enquired

about this, I did consider doing it a while back but did not have enough money

to do so) do you also take supplements. Because the food in my country is of

such poor quality on the ketogenic diet I am on I do need some suplements

 

Also, does the diet also insist on all natural foods. the Atkins diet can be

used as a ketogenic diet but the folk on that diet do not eat all natural all

the time. I am not against the Atkins diet, indeed it was the Atkins diet that

got me low carbing, but I did notice that whilst I was not eating all natural I

still had a lot fo fibro stuff going on

 

And last but not least, if I remember correctly the HCG diet encourages low

calorie intake. I do know that low calorie intake with the right foods can be

healthy for the body for some time and it helps the body detox a lot. But

without the hormones suppressing the appetite I dont think I could eat low

calorie.

 

On the ketogenic diet I am on now we eat a lot of fat, hence, more calories than

the HCG (I think) but we do not gain weight. In fact I have lost 60lb using this

diet and I have not even been counting calories. I simply eat plenty of fat and

the fat itself suppresses my appetite.

 

I dont really know if my assumptoins here are correct, it is just what I

remember from when I was investigating this diet a while back. I can see the

advantages of the diet, both for weight loss and fibro, but long term what do

folk on that diet do. Do they stay on the very low calories or do they increase

their calories? how long must they take the hormones? Do you have to take the

hormones to do the diet?

 

Hope I have not asked too much, I can see I have overdone it a bit with the

questions. I am mainly interested because that diet is similar to the diet I am

doing now. Or at least I think it is. And when I hear of folk using ketosis to

treat their fibro I do get very interested

 

Love Joanne
