Pro’s and Con’s with HCG
HCG Gave Me My BEST RESULTS!
Weighing out the Pro’s and Con’s
I remember my first diets began as early as elementary school. I also recall doing the whole mind game of telling myself “Monday I’m going to start my diet” Sometimes when Monday came I was ready other times I did more mental bartering.
Fast forward to my HCG experience, When I began my journey all I knew was the 2 choices was either sub-lingual or injection but both were using RX HCG. Now there are so many products claiming to be hcg in drops or pellet form..HUM…..
I will not take on that issue in this post. What I want to focus on is how to be ready for your journey both mentally and physically so you will succeed.
My favorite “GO TO” for ordering HCG Online – ReliableRXpharmacy
Mentally you need to be raring to go. Have that “I can’t wait to start” feeling. I had watched so many you tube vlogs and read so many forums and posts along with of course “pounds & Inches” while I was waiting for my HCG to arrive I was completely ready to jump in feet first.
But with protocol timing is very important. I get asked over and over when someone is starting HCG for the first time if it is ok to go ahead and start their round if TOM had started or was about to. My answer is wait. Better to have the extra patience and be able to start your round when you know you will have a minimum of 10 days into the round before TOM could be part of the equation.
What is your social calendar looking like? Only YOU know what you can resist and though HCG puts hunger on the back burner sometimes food isn’t about hunger but emotional triggers or socializing. Personally I don’t like to try to visit with people and eat at the same time. That might sound odd to some people but for me it seems like it never fails, I put a bite of food in my mouth and someone will walk up and ask me a question.
Now so far as you are reading this and you KNOW that you are good to go on all counts that I have brought up so far GREAT.
Now be sure you have your tools in place.
What I mean by that is have a good bathroom scale. A scale that will give you more info than just a pound number. Fat percent etc REALLY helps while you are releasing on HCG and take measurements everywhere on your body that you can. You will be amazed where you lose and if you don’t get all your stats from the beginning you will regret it later. I recommend the myotape. Remember there is a good reason why the doctor called it “pounds & Inches”
My next advice is do as I say, not what I did.
Take HCG before pictures. The only reason I have a before shot is because my brother snapped off a pic of me when we were on vacation. But what wouldn’t give now to have full on front, back, and side shots that would have been taken the day before my 1st P2 round.
JOURNAL – Do this like you never have before! I was looking at my journal today to see where I was at around this time last year. The pattern I noticed was when I would weigh and write down what I thought I was doing right or what I was doing wrong. If I had a gain you could see how it was brought right back where it should be as along as I stayed current with what I was doing. If I saw an entry and then saw I didn’t write anything for a few days when I was willing to fess-up and get on the scale there was much more of a “price to pay” if you know what I mean.
My birthday is next month and my goal is to be the same weight I was on this date last year on my birthday. Why don’t I pick the weight I was on my Birthday last year? I didn’t write in an entry in my journal. So today I completely regret that I don’t have that stat!!!
I began this post stating,”HCG Gave Me My BEST RESULTS!”
This statement is so very true. I never looked or felt gaunt or sickly. Dr Simeons explained how it targets the abnormal fat and it DID. On other diets in the past I hit the same weight numbers I did on HCG but definitely was not the size and shape HCG got me to. Before my journey other ladies would say if I had back fat it was just an age thing that couldn’t be avoided…wrong.
My butt and hips got smaller than they were before I had kids. This knocks down another theory that after you have kids those areas change and you can’t get those areas down like you could before pregnancies.
And Before my HCG journey I was losing a lot of hair to the point that the girl who does my hair was gravely concerned. When I began HCG the fall out subsided and then a bit after that while still on my rounds I found a hair vitamin I like a lot and still take to this day, I also like it because it also has MSM.
It looks to me like there are a LOT of Pro’s.
Here is what I think are the Con’s –
- Don’t get suckered into a product that is not HCG!
- Understand that it is restrictive as far as what and how much you can eat.
- You need to access if this will work in your life based on why you eat.
- Desire & Timing is everything! It is important to check your calendar, schedule, and body clock (time of month arrival eta).
- You want to set yourself up for success and as long as you check off the right boxes and do it right you will see results beyond what you could have imagined!:)
Is Sugar Toxic to Your Body?
HCG Craving Buster of the Day
This blog post isn’t about a supplement though one L-Glutamine capsule poured under the tongue can help with sugar craving
The video link below provides information that helps you and me both to think before we act on a craving. Thus one day closer to the goal we have set for ourselves because we decide to make the right food choices that keep our body and mind healthy!
Video shows how sugar not only causes heart disease and diabetes, but also feeds tumors and is as addictive as Cocaine to your brain
Mike’s comments:
I think everybody needs to watch this video from a recent 60 Minutes episode to see just how harmful to your health sugar really is. I don’t think most people understand the seriousness of this. People seem to blindly eat and drink loads of sugar each day (Americans consume a whopping 1/3 lb of sugar per DAY on average) without thinking about how this internally affects your body and your biochemistry.
As you can see in the video, it should be no surprise to anybody that studies clearly relate excess sugar consumption to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
You might argue that some natural sugars have always been in the human diet, so why is this an issue. Well, yes humans have always eaten small amounts of natural sugars from fruit as part of the ancestral diet, but we’ve never historically been exposed to the massive amounts of added sugars that we see in today’s world of sweetened drinks, candies, cakes, cookies, as well as added sugars in everything from condiments to dressings to tomato sauces.
As you can see in the video, the average American eats a sickening 130 lbs of sugar per person per year, or 1/3 lb per day! That’s just nasty if you ask me, and shows how little most people respect their body, or even think about what they’re putting in their body on a daily basis.
The video also mentions that in one controlled study, they replaced 25% of the daily calories of the subjects with sugary drinks, and took continual blood tests. The tests showed that by replacing 25% of their daily calories with sugary drinks, the subjects increased their dangerous small dense LDL particles in their blood which causes arterial plaque and heart disease. Yes, in fact, sugar and carbs in general contribute more to heart disease than fats do.
We also need to realize that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a relatively new invention in the human diet and is something that your body does not know how to properly handle. HFCS didn’t really become part of the human food supply until the 1970’s and now it’s found it fairly large quantities in almost every processed food on the grocery shelves. As the video points out, HFCS consumption is clearly linked to increased heart disease and stroke risk.
One statement I don’t agree with in the video above is that sugar and HFCS are “the same”. While I agree that they are both terrible for your health and both toxic, there are certainly big differences in how the body processes HFCS vs table sugar or other forms of sugar. I cover this in full in this article about HFCS here (opens a new window).
Also take note that the video mentions how sugar feeds tumors and can make cancer worse.
In addition, sugar activates reward centers in your brain, similar to drugs like cocaine, thereby making sugar addictive. The part of the video where they do brain scans on him while he sips a sugary soda is interesting indeed.
One other thing to mention about this video… I don’t fully agree with how they lump honey and real maple syrup in with table sugar or HFCS. Although honey and real maple syrup are mostly sugar, and should be minimized overall, both of them at least have additional micronutrients and antioxidants that sugar or HFCS simply don’t have.
In addition, another aspect that the video fails to mention is that it’s not just added sugar that causes all of these negative effects in your body, but also fast-digesting carb sources like breads, pastas, bagels, muffins, rice, and other grain-based foods that spike your blood sugar just as quickly as regular table sugar. For example, each piece of bread you eat is basically equivalent to eating about 20 grams of sugar since the response to your blood sugar and triglyceride levels is essentially the same.
The bottom line is that food manufacturers want you to be addicted to sugar and continue to buy all of their junk foods and sugary drinks which destroy your health. But it’s time to take control of your health for yourself and not support these giant businesses who only care about their corporate profit and not about how they are destroying your health.
Get Started with HCG
HCG QUESTION OF THE DAY- How Do I Get Started On HCG ?
QUESTION:
Hi, I ran into your page through youtube, been looking to start on hcg I want to loose 30 pounds but don't know where to start if you can please tell me how many vials to buy and the list of the things I need to buy to start on hcg please
Steps I took when I decided to start my HCG journey
Though this was not the first online pharmacy I used it is the one I like the best.
Reliablerxpharmacy
Because the HCG is not expensive but shipping and handling is the same whether
you get one vial or 3 I opted to get 3. I always got 3 whenever I ordered.
When not mixed they have a long shelf life plus i keep mine in the fridge even when not mixed.
I always ordered the 5000 iu.
The brands of HCG I have gotten in the past based on availability are Hucog, Corion, and Novarel.
Next for my first round I ordered a kit that had all the mixing supplies and syringes from HCGbasics.com.
Amanda that runs that website was one of the first mixing vlogs
I watched on you tube and when I ordered was good about answering my questions.
Granted later once I knew what I needed I could order the supplies online myself for less money.
But for the first time it was nice to have everything I needed in one easy kit.
Sometimes peace of mind that you have the right stuff out weights the cost. The kit was approx $60
but it got me through if I remember right 3 rounds. Speaking of cost, if you are a seasoned dieter
like I have been all the different programs, supplements diet doctors etc that we have gone through
in the past in the grand scheme of things I would say my HCG journey was the most affordable.
NEXT while waiting for my hcg and supplies to arrive the MOST important thing
I did was READ the POUNDS & INCHES Manuscript over and over again.
I am not a person who loves to read BUT this is vital for a lot of reasons.
You need to truly understand why this protocol works especially when there
are so many hcg protocol “want-a- be’s” lurking out there now.
If you do the food plan without the REAL HCG you will not get the right result
and yes you will be hungry and for good reason (starved).
Step 2 – I watched YouTube to hear from other hcger on their journey and
about how to mix the HCG and recipes people had come up with.
Another word of CAUTION…From the time I started till now the environment is different on youtube.
Unfortunately when people or companies think there is a fast buck to be made they want to jump on the wagon.
Use Discernment when you watch a vlog. If it is all looking to “slick” I would move on.
Watch the people that you can tell are simply sharing their journey with you.
And if a channel looks like the vlog you are watching isn’t made on the channel you are one that is another red flag.
I have had to report copy write infringement reports a few times because someone ripped my vlog
and put it on their channel so people would go to their website and buy what they were selling. And it was probably not even real hcg 🙁
Step 3 -Get or make sure you have the tools to gauge your success.
1 – Take your measurements measure EVERY area you can. Trust me later you will be glad you did.
(a Myotape is recommended)
I know this is a tough one. I didn’t take any but thankfully my brother
had snapped off some vacation shots that I hated looking at but was thankful
to have once I was in my “after stage” 🙂
Since you will do as I say and not do as I do 😉
Take from , back and both sides. Trust me later it will be worth it!
3 -scale to weigh the protein portions
$ Have a good body scale that also gives you body percentages.
below is the one I have but there are others now that you don’t
Have to “tap” to turn on
This probably looks very daunting at this point but it really is simple
and so very worth it when you realize the results you are going to get
will be more than you could have ever dreamed!
I have the protocol manuscript, measuring spreadsheets, and progress sheets
All free to download. Plus links to get to the various items so that should help a bit. 🙂
P.S. speaking you youtube I know I am WAY overdue to post a vlog.
I will do my best to post one in the near future.
Till then keep me posted on all your great success and let me know if you have questions 🙂
What Are HCG Phases?
Question of the Day – What Are HCG Phases?
Question: Thank you so much for all your help. I have ordered my hcg and supply kit. I’m very confused on the different phases though. Do you have something explaining this on youtube or on your blog?
My Answer:
Your question motivated me to create a blog post explaining the phase thing. Simply put phase 2, phase 3 lingo was done through Kevin Trudeau who basically took Dr Simeons original protocol from the 1960’s ( gave him credit for the research in his own book “The Weight Loss Cure” But put a spin on a few things so he could make a pretty penny by reintroducing this theory . As time has gone on the terminology has basically blended together as one.
I tell all newbie’s who are willing to listen “READ Pounds and inches over and over again” When asked a question I still find myself going back to it and reading it. I always end up reading more that what answers the questions because the research is so fascinating. I have a free pdf available on my website so it is easy to get.
Pounds and Inches
I feel reading the original protocol also enables you to truly understand why this will be so incredibly different and successful than anything you have done before.
Below is merely “snippets” of what Kevin Trudeau renamed as “Phases”. The Dr explains as “Courses.
In Trudeau lingo he also includes Phase 4 which all that is , is lifetime maintenance and a Phase 1 which was a “detox” phase and another way for him to capitalize monetarily.
Don’t get me wrong I think detoxing is a great thing to do. And being an entrepreneur can be a very good thing. I didn’t do a detox right before starting my HCG journey. But I had done a fasting detox that I have talked about in past you tube vlogs.
My motto for a long time now came from the great Zig Ziglar,
“You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”
Phase 2 (P2)
As explained in Dr Simeons Pounds and Inches
The Diet
The 500 calorie diet is explained on the day of the second injection to those patients who
will be preparing their own food, and it is most important that the person who will
actually cook is present – the wife, the mother or the cook, as the case may be. Here in
Italy patients are given the following diet sheet.
Breakfast: Tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar.
Only one tablespoonful of milk allowed in 24
hours. Saccharin or Stevia may be used.
Lunch: 1. 100 grams of veal, beef, chicken
breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab,
or shrimp. All visible fat must be
carefully removed before cooking, and
the meat must be weighed raw. It must
be boiled or grilled without additional
fat. Salmon, eel, tuna, herring, dried or
pickled fish are not allowed. The
chicken breast must be removed from
the bird.
2. One type of vegetable only to be
chosen from the following: spinach,
chard, chicory, beet-greens, green
salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions,
red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus,
cabbage.
3. One breadstick (grissino) or one Melba
toast.
4. An apple or a handful of strawberries
or one-half grapefruit.
Dinner : The same four choices as lunch.
The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes. Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard
powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, majoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but
no oil, butter or dressing.
Tea, coffee, plain water, or mineral water are the only drinks allowed, but they may be
taken in any quantity and at all times.
The Duration of Treatment
Patients who need to lose 15 pounds (7 kg.) or less require 26 days treatment with 23
daily injections. The extra three days are needed because all patients must continue the
500-calorie diet for three days after the last injection. This is a very essential part of the
treatment, because if they start eating normally as long as there is even a trace of HCG in
their body they put on weight alarmingly at the end of the treatment. After three days
when all the HCG has been eliminated this does not happen, because the blood is then no
longer saturated with food and can thus accommodate an extra influx from the intestines
without increasing its volume by retaining water.
We never give a treatment lasting less than 26 days, even in patients needing to lose only
5 pounds. It seems that even in the mildest cases of obesity the diencephalon requires
about three weeks rest from the maximal exertion to which it has been previously
subjected in order to regain fully its normal fat-banking capacity. Clinically this
expresses itself, in the fact that, when in these mild cases, treatment is stopped as soon as
the weight is normal, which may be achieved in a week, it is much more easily regained
than after a full course of 23 injections.
As soon as such patients have lost all their abnormal superfluous fat, they at once begin
to feel ravenously hungry with continued injections. This is because HCG only puts
abnormal fat into circulation and cannot, in the doses used, liberate normal fat deposits;
indeed, it seems to prevent their consumption.
Phase 3 (P3)
As explained in Dr Simeons Pounds and inches
As soon as their statistically normal weight
is reached, these patients are put on 800-1000 calories for the rest of the treatment. The diet is arranged in such a way that the weight remains perfectly stationary and is thus
continued for three days after the 23rd injection. Only then are the patients free to eat
anything they please except sugar and starches for the next three weeks.
Such early cases are common among actresses, models, and persons who are tired of
obesity, having seen its ravages in other members of their family. Film actresses
frequently explain that they must weigh less than normal. With this request we flatly
refuse to comply, first, because we undertake to cure a disorder, not to create a new one,
and second, because it is in the nature of the HCG method that it is self limiting. It
becomes completely ineffective as soon as all abnormal fat is consumed. Actresses with a
slight tendency to obesity, having tried all manner of reducing methods, invariably come
to the conclusion that their figure is satisfactory only when they are underweight, simply
because none of these methods remove their superfluous fat deposits. When they see that
under HCG their figure improves out of all proportion to the amount of weight lost, they
are nearly always content to remain within their normal weight-range.
When a patient has more than 15 pounds to lose the treatment takes longer but the
maximum we give in a single course is 40 injections, nor do we as a rule allow patients to
lose more than 34 lbs. (15 Kg.) at a time. The treatment is stopped when either 34 lbs.
have been lost or 40 injections have been given. The only exception we make is in the
case of grotesquely obese patients who may be allowed to lose an additional 5-6 lbs.
if this occurs before the 40 injections are up.
Further Courses
Patients requiring the loss of more than 34 lbs. must have a second or even more courses.
A second course can be started after an interval of not less than six weeks, though the
pause can be more than six weeks. When a third, fourth or even fifth course is necessary,
the interval between courses should be made progressively longer. Between a second and
third course eight weeks should elapse, between a third and fourth course twelve weeks,
between a fourth and fifth course twenty weeks and between a fifth and sixth course six
months. In this way it is possible to bring about a weight reduction of 100 lbs. and more
if required without the least hardship to the patient.
In general, men do slightly better than women and often reach a somewhat higher
average daily loss. Very advanced cases do a little better than early ones, but it is a
remarkable fact that this difference is only just statistically significant.
How to Get REAL HCG
The Online Site I Preferred to Buy My HCG from
It was brought to my attention that the online site I had purchased my 1st batch of HCG from is no longer functioning,the site was Pharmacy Escrow. After that purchase I found out that Pharmacy escrow and All Day Chemist were one in the same. I don’t know this for fact but wonder if the company simply decided to have the whole thing be under the All Day Chemist name. The second purchase I made was with Reliablerxpharmacy.com. I liked their prices and YES they were reliable!
After that I did buy from All Day Chemist so I could advise based on experience if someone asked my opinion.That site was fine, I wasn’t thrilled by the payment method they use but I got what I ordered with out any issue.
Below is an except of an older post of which HCG I bought and the supplies I needed as well.
A prescription wasn’t needed. I prefer to get Hucog brand or the generic version of it. I have also used Corion and it was fine too. To save on the shipping and handling I always purchased 3 at a time. And since I preferred to do 40 day rounds I would buy 5000 iu. I have the mixing breakdown on this blog for both 5000 iu and 2000 iu. But I am most familiar with the 5000 iu. The bacteriostatic water can be bought online from medical supply and even bodybuilder websites. My very first round I bought a supply “kit” hcgbasics.com that had everything to get started except for the hcg. After that because I had examples at my fingertips of what I needed I would get everything on my own.

HCG Drops – Yes or No
HCG DROPS – There are so many different choices now
QUESTION – Hi , basically my major concern is getting the right product that works..and instead of the injections i would rather get the drops i purchased one at gnc and I did not even open the bottle because i am thinking this is not gonna work lol… anyway thanks for getting back to me ..Have a great day!
My Answer – After giving platelets, injections would bother me the least 😉
The environment of HCG has changed SO much since I started in Jan 2010.
The only reason I thought sub-lingual would be OK is because of youtubers that proved results like mamaclok. But really from reading pounds & inches I feel that doing it the way Doctor Simeon did it made the most sense. I hear from others that even clinics that advertise drops etc.tell you once they have you in the office that injections are the most affective.
All the products that are on store shelves I am not confident in. If real HCG must me refrigerated once mixed how is all the shelf stuff keeping its true potency?
Bottom line – I hit beyond my goal May of 2010. I just took MORE after pictures today in size 25 jeans (the smallest size MissMe carries). Plus my hair is growing better than before I knew about HCG ( my hairstylist is AMAZED). My doctor and his nurses all say I look so fit and young. These are the same people that treated a 208 lbs Colleen. So given all that if I had to make the choice all over again on the method to use I would do it all the same.
Get Pure HCG
I hope you are ok with my honesty –
Colleen =)
Please Keep me posted on how you do.
My Very 1st Round on HCG
My 1st HCG 40 Day Round Spreadsheet
I was afraid it was gone forever (like my fat – lol)
I had looked high and low, finally I found it – guess where – As a bookmark in my Atkins Book.
My daughter was sweet enough to type out my chicken scratch so I could post the progress of my 1st round (in 2010) and share with you all. I chose to do a 40 day round. Because I was in denial of the size I was I thought I could knock out one HCG round and be done. That wasn’t the case BUT progressing on was the best thing I EVER did. Next thing I knew I was getting into sizes and scale numbers I thought could only be a DREAM! Thank you GOD & HCG.
Here is Where it All Started
Very 1st VLOG… Sorry for the bad video quality. I was encoragaged to share my jouney so I did (though sacared at the time).
Do your HCG Homework Before Ordering your HCG!
The type of HHCG you get MATTERS
Me the blogger is not saying the hhcg is bad – All I want you to be aware of is who is selling to you??? I check “spam filters” at work during the day and see HCG ads all the time. It breaks mt heart because I Know HCG WORKS!!!!!But Unfortunately there are those that don’t care what they are “selling”, all I can say is Get the RIGHT stuff! By saying that I don’t mean you HAVE to do injections. BUT be sure what you are doing is the “real deal”!
Now Here is Today’s Question –
QUESTION: I’ve been on your site and I think it’s super duper helpful. I really like your vibe and find you very inspiring.
I’m kind of in a tough situation with HCG. I decided to try the homeopathic route because I was afraid of side effects. I clearly didn’t do enough research before I started. I’m on day 24 now. I’ve lost 12.9lbs so far (started at 202.5). I’m pretty starving a lot of the day. I’ve decided I’m going to switch over to Rx injections for my next round. I really want to get to that next round quickly. I’m really not losing any each day – like .2lbs if that. I’m inclined to stop the HHCG now, do a 3 week P3 and then start up R2 with injections. What do you think?
I know the weight isn’t going to come off quickly. It certainly took me many years to get this heavy so I don’t expect an easy road to goal weight. But I kind of feel like I’m wasting time on HHCG. I’ve kept to protocol except for 1 day early on when I had a small glass of wine. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
ANSWER: Yeah, if you are starving something isn’t right. Since you are on day 24 you can consider that your 1st round and do P3. You should get your HCG by the time you’re are ready for round 2. Congrats on getting to ONEerland – that is awesome! I list where I have purchased my HCG. Out of the 3 “Reliable” is my favorite, but all deliver what you need and want.
Let me know if I can help with anything else.

HCG Questions Answered – Fat Releases,Hunger,Exercise,Expectations
HCG and Diet Tricks for other Diet Plans too!
A very sweet HCGer wrote –
Thanks so much for all this wonderful info. You are so amazing to take the time to share your experience, advice and recommendations for us fellow and newbie HCGers… I have a couple of questions for you since this is the first time I am doing this on my own.
Question – I have had good results of 11.6 lbs in 22 days… But here are my concerns maybe you can provide some insight on. I am doing injections 5000iu and started off at 150 but a week and 1/2 into it, I lowered it to 125. Some days I will do anywhere from 125-145… I will only slightly increase it if the day before I was a bit hungrier than I am comfortable with, or if my cravings are outa this world, so I have only done this about 3 times after starting 125. Um other than that? i am not sure what is going on.
My Answer – I think lowering to 125 was a good idea. The days you feel you need to increase I wonder why you don’t move up only by lets say 5 to 130. Spiking to 145 could very well be too much. You are mixing with 10 ml Bac water right?
As far as cravings – Have you tried other tricks instead of increasing your dose to cut the cravings or hunger pangs?
AVC/MCT drink shot
L-Glutamine (poured under the tongue)
Or even just ACV – Apple Cider Vinegar
Question – I was expecting a much bigger loss, although 11.6 is great! I am seeing WAY bigger losses for so many other people so I am getting a bit discouraged… =( and since I am doing about 30ish days,I was thinking about increasing to 46 days, but don’t know if it is worth it at the rate I am going…
My Answer – You haven’t said your start weight or your goal so if you don’t have a lot of abnormal fat the amount you have released in 22 days is awesome.
People talk about a pound or more a day. As we know women release less than men can. I know when I was expecting a pound a day, men on HCG would comment back that half a pound for women was more realistic. Darn those guys – Lol.
Question – I have also noticed my body losing inches, but not really around my tummy area, or upper arms which are the HUGEST problem areas for me. I only am noticing a great difference in my thighs, hips and buttocks, (mainly the last). Do you think this is normal? I am starting to think maybe my HCG is not potent or I may be doing something wrong…
My Answer – My arms were the last to show a significant loss in inches. Since Dr.S called his protocol “Pound & Inches” I bet you look as though you have lost 22 pounds as far as how much you have shrunk. Where you are losing first, have patience it will all proportion in the long run since this is all based on releasing the abnormal fat.
Question – I have cut out melba/grissini out and sometimes only eat one fruit. I am following Dr. S original protocol, so I do not know why these results seem to be “not normal” or fairly low… Do you think I may just have too high expectations?
My Answer – Early in my rounds I didn’t care about the grissini either and I would skip fruit a lot of times. BUT it wasn’t to try to increase my releases. I wasn’t hungry so I didn’t care about it.
If you are experiencing hunger you should at least add the fruit back in. Definitely keep your protein consumption, which is important.
Question – Also, what do you feel about exercising, like ab work and arm/leg toning? As for the exercise, I was going to the gym for about 3-4 weeks prior to beginning HCG… but cut it out when I started
My Answer – Since your body was use to the exercise then it stopped your body probably thought “what the heck happened?”. If it was me at this point I wouldn’t go full blown back into the routine you had been doing before (I don’t know what that was, cardio, weights etc). But start back to walking to get your heart going 😉
What you didn’t ask about but I want to add is –
Are you drinking the proper amount of water?
Here comes TMI – are your bowel movements consistent?
Have you done a Detox Bath?
When you eat your protein are you not consuming too much beef?
I mainly go for fish and chicken.
Steak was eaten if I decided to do a mini steak day. I use to like doing that one day a week during my rounds.
And are you sure that you are eating the correct veggies for P2 and also not mixing types of veggies.
The last question is for those that are using the original protocol.
I know there are variations floating out there. I need to still look into those further before I can have a “say” about them.
Journal what you are eating everyday and see if you can see a common thread. For example there are some HCGer’s that even though oranges are on P2 find that every time they decide to eat an orange they didn’t have a release or they might even have a slight gain. The argument I’ve heard is “an orange has the same calories as an apple”
But you know what? The 2 fruits do different things in and for your body.
Example – apples are a natural diuretic which is why Dr. Simeon came up with “apple day”. It wasn’t for the patient to release fat. It was so mentally the patient would “feel better” because they would see the scale numbers go down. It was simply water weight that made the difference. This is also why though we are suppose to drink plenty of water while on P2 – if we do an apple day he said to keep water consumption to a minimum.
Now remember everyone – I am not a Doctor, I am a fellow HCGer that likes helping others with their journey! 🙂
