Anybody ever tried the HCG Diet? How was it?

Okay, I'm back. Hum ...nobody out there has tried this?
My cat has been removed from my keyboard. He's eating his 5th meal of the day. Lil devil blackmails me by sitting on my keyboard till I give in and feed him.

I am on my 3rd day. There are 5 of us doing it together. We are all women in our late 40s and 50s with anywhere from 20- 50 lbs to lose. I say go for it. I'll post on this thread at the end of next week and let you know how I am doing

only one way to loose weight
dont mix carbohydrates with saturates
1hr apart and eat basically wot you want
saturates are basically animal converted stored energy
carbs are energy we convert to use
if you eat saturates and carbs ur body stores the saturates 'cos theyre already coverted
and runs on the carbs u convert to energy and also stores any leftover carb to saturate we have converted
so dont eat them together.

ie: a chip butty isnt good as it is saturated fatty carb-potatoe chips and carb loaded bread.

add-on
eat plenty of brockly
its a natural high alkcalie
or sprout and peaswad peas[sweet ones]

sorry if this wasnt wot you wanted.

I think it's a wonderful idea if you want to slow your metabolism down so that you will eventually GAIN weight on the meager 500 calories that your body thinks it is starving on.

My doctor signed the orders for me to get the shots at a spam.DEAD clinic, but I chickened out and didn't do it yet. I went and found out all about it, but didn't start yet. I'm afraid I will go crazy trying to eat only 500 calories.

Try the Crackhead diet. When was the last time you saw a fat crackhead?

BS. Not the only way. There are tons of ways.

And i would never inject something into me that I got from the internet

ur wrong
only 2 ways to loose weight
the other is to stop eating.

Ok honestly, instead of severely depriving your body by doing some crazy diet which will NO DOUBT, either not work, or work but not permanently, try this first. Eat a sensible diet of 5 to 6 small meals a day, or simply just watch what you are eating more. Don't eat while you watch tv, don't eat at the computer. Be AWARE of how much you are eating, don't just space out. Don't drink your calories.

Now try these workouts, I am doing them as well and am not in very good shape, I am 20 ..5'4 and about 20 or so lbs overweight, never really worked out much throughout my teens. Anyway look up these workouts called Callanetics! It's truly phenomenal, the workouts are so relaxing once you are doing them correctly and are not jerking or pushing. Google results of the workouts. I am doing the 10 years in 10 hours DVD 4-5 x a week.

It is kinda of old school but there are newer versions such as Callanetics Evolution. I have only done 3 hours and I already feel so much stronger and I am noticing my body slimming! These workouts REALLY work, they are small repetitive movements very gentle and almost zen feeling. They work your muscles SOOOO deeply that you will literally look like you've lost 10 lbs or more by all your muscles being tightened so effectively.

You can find some of the workouts on youtube as well to give you an idea. Whatever you do DON'T resort to something that is ONLY going to hurt you and waste more of your money and time. I am a member on lowcarbfriends bamagirlb which does monthly callanetics challenges that are a really great motivator,and also have a lot of info about the exercise as well! Good luck!!! Sorry for the long post lol I get excited and tell EVERYONE I can about these workouts they are awesome for real!

If you stop eating where is the fat coming from to store?

dont mix carbs and saturates thats the only way

Then what you are saying is completely stop eating. YOU DIE

why not just swallow a tapeworm.

When your body stops getting food it goes into a starvation mode and saves fat. The weight you will lose (not much) will be mostly water and muscle tissue. This is bad because not only will you have to start eating again but since you now have less muscle, and therefore a slower metabolism as opposed to when you began fasting, you will gain even more fat on top of the fat that your body stored while you fasted. The only time your body will start burning fat when you are not eating and I mean noticeable amounts is when it can no longer burn muscle proteins as a fuel source --By the time that happens you're close to death.

A friend tried it and she lost 25 lbs on the first round, with the help of a nutritionist. Follow the instructions precisely and it should work.

Obviously you can't quit eating for very long without dying or becoming super ill. When you don't eat your body goes into starvation mode to protect itself, and organs which are no longer getting the nutrition they need. When you finally do eat something so you won't die, your body turns that into fat, regardless of how much you have on you already. Your metabolism declines severely as a result as well, thus you can't simply burn off the stored and excess fat no matter how much you try, and are probably going to be too weak to workout anyway.


My bad guy up there, lol! Didn't mean to copy you.

Best thing to do is eat 6 small meals a day to keep your metabolism going and exercising

It's all gravy, we posted at like exact time lol

wake up

500 calories a day does not sound like a healthy diet. Pretty soon that cat food is going to start to look mighty tasty.
Your body will start to go into starvation mode and store fat...

I met a girl who was on it and she was hungry and cranky as hell. I don't know but sounds like another diet gimmick.

Just cut back on simple carbs (like white bread, sugar, potatoes, fruit juices) and eat lots of veggies and lean protein.

Exercise at least 30 min a day every day, do some strength training every other day/3x a week each time target a specific area of your body (abs, legs, chest/triceps/shoulders, back/biceps)

Also very important, drink plenty of water (1/2 oz per lb of body weight daily is ideal)

Lol yeah and we've said like the same exact thing almost. Go knowledge!

But really OP those workouts will give you a killer body in no time! You really don't even have to do much else and you'll still get results. Definitely don't quit eating though.

or you could just love yourself just the way you are, which will lead to you respecting yourself enough to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Wrong you can simply loose weight by cutting your normal portions in half, that's just one other way. You can EXERCISE! You can cut just sugars out of your diet.

People who look for the easy way out fail in the long run, trust me i am one of those people. Yea you might loose say 20lbs quick but you will gain it all back. You have to change your lifestyle but you don't have to suffer. You can still basically eat the crap you want just smaller portions and EXERCISE.

and the alkalie in the broccili will help ur body in breaking cellulose down
upto u if you listen.
dont buy anything-dont inject anything especially offthe net, and dont starve ur body of vital sustinance
health first
feelings second.

Lost 50lbs on it, works like easy! No problem the hormone causes your body to eat your stored fat, I look 10 x's better than on any diet or exercise program I have done before because it uses that fat stores that are impossible to get rid of even on skinny people.

Go for it don't listen to naysayers that don't know jack shit about this diet oh and by the way keeping it off easily too just follow the protocol (2 months now)

I am now going back for my last 14 lbs!!!



good luck

no fat in sugar-pure energy
half portions - rubbish
excercise to loose? u mean turn soft mucle hard whilst straining ur heart . rubbish
tv tricks
promises
lies while they feed us the junk that put weight on.
injecting homones into ur body will have unwanted consequences
pls dont be that foolish
ull have to keep going bak for more/forever every 6-12mth itll rebound ur body will underproduce ths hormone and others by trying to regulate its sudden influx
it doesnt know ur taking it in externally and when ur stop itll take a fewmonth to bounce bk up
u gain weight
a consumer trap
save ur cash and ur health.

I hope your main concern is health. Quick fix usually means you pay dearly--you may get thinner, but who cares if you're also sick! Best way to shed unwanted pounds is to remove non-foods, do some form of exercise, make an effort to get more sleep, reduce stress, drink good water, and of course quit smoking, alcohol, and the obvious body-stressors. Try eliminating dairy, grains, anything refined, and certainly no fake sugars. Moderate fruit (fresh and raw) lots of vegs, some cooked is ok but forget the sauces, lots of salad (little or no dressing) a handful of nuts or seeds, a little meat (3-4 oz) if you feel you need it. (roasted, stewed, not broiled or fried) Even these simple steps will make a big difference. Not magic, just more nutrition, less junk. Try this, see how you feel and look. There are many books and websites to help.

blah blah blah to all the bullshit diet advice. I guarantee you I eat cleaner and healthier than 90% of those blathering all the shit that you do NOT know about this diet. Some people have severely compromised immune function and endocrine dysfunction due to infectious diseases such as Lymes or other poisons from the environment .

Thus you can throw your diet does and don'ts out the window. THEY DO NOT WORK!

I have studies this for many years utilizing various types of diets.
