Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 It depends on how much you are eating (some people don't eat the full allotment of veggies for example, because no specific quantity is given), how much hCG you are taking and whether it is true, physical hunger or recreational eating hunger for a specific food favorite. Some people find that by "snacking" on their daily foods throughout the day they don't get hungry. So rather than eating all of their lunch at lunch, they may eat half of it then and the rest at 3 PM for example.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Thanks Phil. I downloaded the PDF. I still don't understand how HCG works in this diet. I will read through this as soon as I can. I wonder if it would if it would be less pronounced while on TRT? I could see the normal overweight person who's hormones are in the crapper and you give them HCG it would perk up their system. ________________________________ From: philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> Sent: Mon, June 28, 2010 9:43:39 AM Subject: Re: HCG Diet First thing I need to run this past my heart Dr. All ready Dr. posted to me he feels with my problmes I sould not go on this diet.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 No I talked to one of the guys on TRT that lost 80lbs he said he did it in 3 rounds of 40 shots each the you stop for a time and go back on it P4 is when you hit your goal weight. You will need to stop things like fish oil and supplements that have starch or sugar in them. What I was thinking is I might need to cut my T shots down so my T levels don't go to high. I am Secondary doing HCG everyday my T and E2 levels go up.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 The Phases are used at this forum they are not part of the Dr.'s paper on this they got the this from a book that Trudeau did later about this diet. In his book P1 was a detox your did in this forum P1 I is that load part of the diet you do when you first start on the HCG shots. You eat all you can of good foods that don't have starchs or sugers in them. Here are some cut and pastes not in order about them. I hope this helps and here is a link to the site and you can click on Forums and read my thread. Starting the HCG Diet I need help? http://4hcgsuccess.com/hcg-protocol ==================================================== I don't know anyone on here who did P1. That's Trudeau's thing. He also named the phases which we use for reference. But there was no P1 in Simeon's protocol, unless you want to call loading P1. --------------------------------------------------- Phil, the only people who don't do loading are those that are cycling or have taken an " Unforeseen Interruptions of Treatment " per P & I. If you don't load, you will be very, very hungry. I would advise against skipping loading. --------------------------------------------------- I agree with J Beanie completely. My first round I assumed loading meant eating like I always eat cuz obviously I eat too much and that's why I'm fat, right? So I just ate normal like I always do. I almost died!!!! By the end of the first week I thought something was really wrong with me. I ended up having to cheat with some orange juice and whatnot just to feel almost normal. Definitely don't skip loading, just load with lots of good fat and good protein, not carbs and sugars. ---------------------------------------------------- What loading is supposed to do is fill up your normal fat cells full of fat, so that when you start the 500 calorie diet, the fat you start losing is the abnormal, excess fat. It will also help to keep you from being hungry the first week. So loading is more effective if you try to eat more fat, and less sugar or carbs. So concentrate on things like butter, oils, fried foods, cheese, fatty meats, etc. I loaded with cheesecake without the crust, bacon and eggs, chocolate, cheeseburgers without the buns, pork roast, veggies with butter. ---------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure anyone ever counts how much they eat loading. They just eat til they can't anymore. Basically as much as you want or until you think you are gonna puke! Whichever comes first! Think 3 good fatty meals and maybe a snack or two. ---------------------------------------------------- That's why it's called " loading " , you're supposed to drastically overeat. As much as you can handle. The weight you gain from those two days will be lost in the first few days of the 500 cal. diet, and then some. One good thing about maintenance on this diet, is that you will be doing multiple rounds in order to reach your goal weight. So you will be doing multiple P3 and P4's, where you will learn what you can and cannot eat in order to stay at that weight. If you mess up and gain, you'll do a steak day to lose it. You'll have plenty of practice by the time you reach your final goal weight. ---------------------------------------------------- Everyone is different. But when we hit Phase 3, the phase after the low calorie part, We amp up our calories as quickly as we can (hard to eat a lot of food right away after eating so little). It seems the big problems come with eggs, dairy, and nuts. So it is suggested to add the " iffy " foods one at a time. For example you might add eggs your first two days, and if you weight doesn't spike, assume those are ok, then add cheese, etc. It the weight spikes over 2 lbs, you do a steak day to get it back down. that is nothing all day but water, tea and coffee, then for dinner the biggest steak you can manage, at least 1.5 lbs and a raw tomato or apple if you like. Many people find they have to eat a lot of meats and veggies and good fats the first week and start introducing the iffy foods closer to the second week. But again, everyone is different. It seems we all aim to get 2000 plus calories if we can. This is harder than one might think when you aren't eating any processed foods or starches or sugars (a P3 no no). There are different ideas about what stable is, but at least a week of not having to do steak days is a good start. Then you move onto P4 when you can add sugars and starches back in and again, see how you do. Steak days are for life so if you spike in P4, do a steak day. In P4 people usually discover they don't have to eat as many calories as they were in P3, but they aren't restricting. And, in P3, people absolutely do gain weight back if they they eat too few calories or not enough protein. This is because on hcg, your body thinks it is consuming at least 2000 calories a day, the 500 you are eating plus the 1500+ your body is dumping. So once you get to P3 if you were consuming less than that 2000 it would suddenly think you aren't feeding it and start holding onto it. Make sense? It all makes much more sense once you get into it but it is good to read up and have the basics so you know how to start P3. People have messed up the first couple of days of P3 badly enough to have to cycle into another round and try again.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 > > > Hi Bee, > Has anyone ever answered your question about " what is the HCG diet? " I would be curious as to what you think about it. It is about injecting yourself with pregnant women hormone and eating 500 specific calories per day (NO fat). After a 30 day period of doing that you eat high fat and no carbs. It changes your metabolism. For those who follow the rules the weight stays off. The fat melts off of your body and changes a lot of things for the good. Men usually loose 1lb. per day and women 1/2 lb. The research looks fascinating. You can google Dr. Simeons OR Pounds and Inches. +++Hi Debbie, I don't think it is any good, even if it does help people lose weight, since all human bodies require the same set of nutrients in order to be healthy, which means weight eventually normalizes to what it should be. Taking hormones in any form has a powerful effect on the body, throwing off hormone, nutrient, etc. balances, and forcing the body into situations that aren't healthy. I feel this program is more powerful and better since it follows Nature's Laws on Health allowing your body to do as it sees fit. God didn't make any stupid bodies, and Nature gets it right. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I was listening to the directory of the diet and weight loss center at Scripps Medical Center, one of the more prestigious medical centers in California. He was asked about the HCG diet. His reply is paraphrased as follows: 1. He had been asked to contribute a chapter on the topic in a book, so he had researched it extensively. 2. It was invented by a guy in the 1890's as a diet program for women. The inventor's claim was that women could keep their shape while engaging in extreme dieting by using female hormones. 3. Studies have shown that 40% of people who are injected with HCG or with saline solution will lose weight successfully. Studies have shown that it does not matter whether it is a placebo or HCG. The important thing is that the patient believes that the injection will help them. 4. There is no physiological reason to think that HCG should be of any benefit to dieters. 5. A starvation diet for most men is around 700-800 calories per day. Anything below that threshold causes the bodies metabolism to slow down 10-20%. 6. When the diet stops, rapid weigh gain is often seen because the body's metabolism rate does not ramp back up as fast as people start eating again. Based on actual studies, one technique that he suggested is using a protein bar or a protein drink which has a know caloric count in place of meals that are a problem. So, if you tend to eat too much at lunch, or at dinner, to try this at those times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 A high fat diet can satisfy your hunger with relatively few calories. If you weight is stable, it's almost certain that you are not consuming more calories than you burn. I have bacon and eggs nearly every morning and that keeps my hunger satisfied for a long time. No toast, no butter, no potatos. What do you think of Dr Haub's Twinkie diet?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 I read my HCG insert last week. I hadn't noticed before, but now they have a long disclaimer that says there's no scientific evidence to support the claims of weight loss through HCG. I'm rather skeptical about the HCG diet. Good lord, how many " magic diets " have we seen? I can think of Hoodia, green tea, Chromium, vitamin E, spirulina, some kind of coral, ephedra, all kinds of thermogenic diets, and I don't think any of them do much. I even read last week about a chocolate milk diet, I kid you not! If you want to lose weight, you have to expend more calories than you consume. Although having your testosterone and thyroid tuned up can make a huge difference. In a normal, healthy person without hormone deficiencies, eat less and exercise to lose weight. > > CBS news NY, covered the HCG diet the other night.

I'm really excited about my weight loss!!!!!!!!!!!! > You should not be starving. If you are that hungry your dosage may be off and will need to be adjusted. You also need to determine if you are having mental or physical hunger. Are you doing injections, drops or pellets? Once I find out what you are doing I can help you with your dose.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 How many drops are you taking a day? Make sure you don't eat or drink anything 30 mins before and after your drops. How long are you leaving them under your tongue? Do you feel hungry all day or more so at night? Please don't tell me you bought them from GNC! There are no HCG in the ones GNC sells. On your bottle it should have something like 3x, 6x, 12x etc. > > > > So far I'm doing really good.
