    Default HCG Injections

    Has anyone tried these for weight loss? I'd love to, but if I'm going to spend the amount of money it takes to do this diet I'd like to hear from someone else who's done it.

    HCG comes from pregnant women's urine & is used for male babies if the testicles haven't dropped & to help jump start the natural production of testosterone in males. I have seen the diet on paper & what I've seen is a very low amount of calories, 500-800 a day & these injections of HCG. I haven't talked to anybody about why HCG & the reason for HCG in the diet but from a outsider, I can't see how your metabolism is getting faster or how do you gain muscle & these 2 things are very important to a healthy lifestyle. There is a science to looking good & there is a science to being healthy, very seldom to they overlap.

    My friend did this. I think she went overboard with it as she was on it for like 6 months. She went from 165 to around 135 and she's almost 6 feet tall. I was traveling with her and eating 3 times as much as her I don't know how she danced on that few calories and food! I would have passed out after a few days of that. She looked ok but was not working out and I heard she started to look really flabby before she got off of it. She had gained all the weight back by the next time I saw her 3 months later. So it works but you need to really maintain a clean diet after and introduce excersise again.

    I was talking to a customer recently who is super muscular and he said he takes HCG injections and LOVES them. He mentioned he used to do steroids years ago but the acne got to be too much for him. Comparitively he said the HCG doesn't blow you up like steroids, but that is gave him great results. He looked awesome.

    ^ Are you sure it wasn't hgh he was taking because hcg makes you lose weight and muscle because it's so low calorie? I had a customer who did hgh and he was close to 60 and ripped like he was in his late twenties.

    HCG will not make you muscular or lean. The problem is as it helps promote testosterone, estrogen is raised as well. The only reason I can see of a woman losing weight on this diet is the reduced calories & HCG helps retain muscle in that climate.

    HCG is meant to make you not lose lean muscle while basically on a starvation diet. If you think you can deal with the cravings, then yeah, eating 800 calories a day will make anyone lose weight. My mom is actually in the middle of it right now, she's lost 60lbs.

    Yeah, it's ridiculous. A good friend of mine and her boyfriend both did it, and of course they lost weight only eating 700 cals a day, and of course they both gained the weight back plus some when they stopped the injections and stupid diet.

    Eating 500-800 cals/day will let you lose weight, but be prepared to lose muscle along with fat. Losing muscle and starving yourself will slow down your metabolism in the long run and you will gain all the weight you lost back as soon as you quit the diet. I know a few people caught in the hcg cycle. Better to make heathy choices with food, and add more activity to your life. Besides losing weight, you'll feel better!

    Thank you for all of your opinions but I was hoping to hear from someone who actually had some experience as well.
    Not to sound offensive, it's just that I have all the information I need about how it works from an actual doctor who will prescribe and administer the shots, I just want to hear what the experience is like from someone who has done it themselves. I thought this might be the place where I could find that, but perhaps I'll have better luck on the bodybuilding forums.

    I tried it.. twice actually each time was hungry miserable and felt well very much like I was eating 500 Kcals a day. Not only is it 500 Kcal its a VERY specific food you can and cant eat that makes it pretty hard to eat anything at all. You cannot go out and stay on this diet you cannot stop and get fast food on this diet. You are discouraged from working out on this diet so you do not gain muscle or tone at all. Every meat must be weighed and only specific foods in specific combinations. I had legit RX HCG from the pharmacy and it did not make me any less hungry. There is "herbal" HCG which is BS. I tried it for 3 weeks the first time and 2 the second. I followed protocol to the T. I am confident it wouldnt just "kick in" if I tried it longer! You "load" for I forget how many days to get it in your system so it was def in there! For me it was very hard and I lost some weight but was tired miserable and MEAN haha. I have since lost 20lbs in 2 months sticking to a 1200 kcal diet and working out. I don't feel deprived and get to eat various foods and still lose weight. Sorry butI think this diet is crap and to good to be true!

    Yes, he specifically said it was not HGH.
