HCG Diet Reviews - Know the facts!

HCG Diet - Know the Facts

The world is filled with fads such as fashion, music, lifestyle, and yes, diets. One of the most popular diets for 2012 is the HCG diet. Although not everyone has heard about this particular weight loss method, those who have tried it claim to be very happy and satisfied with the results they got. In fact, it has been said that you could lose a pound per day with the hcg diet.

To the right side of this page is an hcg diet testimonial video. Michelle talks about her success using the hcg ultra diet drops. We want to thank Michelle for taking the time to make this video and send it to us.

If you want to know the truth about the HCG diet, you can scour the Web for HCG reviews or you can read this review to give you all the information you need so that you can find out for yourself if this method really works.

Any Scientific Evidence HCG Diet Works?

Yes! In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 26: Effect of HCG on Weight Loss,February 1973, pp. 211-218 it confirms HCG does work. Here is the Summary from their paper which you can go read yourself since we paraphrase part for brevity.

Twenty female patients were divided into two groups, one with placebo and one with HCG injections ( drops did not exist at the time of this study). The HCG group lost significantly more mean weight, had a significantly greater mean weight loss per {dosage}, and lost a significantly greater mean percentage of their starting weight. The percentage of affirmative daily patient responses indicating "little or no hunger" and "feeling good to excellent" was significanty greater in the HCG group than in the placebo group.

How Does the HCG Diet Work?

In order to understand how the HCG diet works, here is a brief overview. The HCG or the human chorionic gonadotropin is an indicator of that a woman is pregnant. But aside from this, HCG is also administered to boys who lag in their genital development.

During the 1950’s, Dr. A.T.W. Simeons observed that boys who were given HCG to enhance puberty developments were able to lose weight. This was attributed mostly to the boys’ tendency to eat less because they didn’t feel hungry at all.

Today, this concept has been used to help men and women who need to lose weight by administering HCG injections. See the end of this review as there are HCG drops on the market as well. The current requirement is to undergo a month-long program, which will need 23 to 40 injections. As a rule of thumb, treatment should never be more than 40 injections at a time otherwise the body will develop immunity towards the HCG.Most programs have you take a low calorie (500-800) diet with HCG suppressing hunger. We highly recommend you discuss this with your doctor as it is a very low calorie intake.

HCG Diet Dangers

Naturally, many people would become quite cynical about this breakthrough diet method. The one thing you need to know is that HCG has been approved by the FDA only as a fertility treatment, but not as a weight loss treatment. But in spite of this, there is no evidence we could find in our research that HCG itself poses any problem to individuals so as long as you take amounts recommended to you by your doctor. We recommend you discuss the use of this product with your doctor but you can buy HCG online here if you want. The big problem with HCG diets has been people are often put on to low a calorie diet which is an issue for some people.

HCG Side Effects

Worried about HCG side effects? You would be happy to know that users have not really experienced problems with HCG. However, there have been reports that some of them experienced headaches, acne breakouts, and a few had also reportedly suffered from loss of sex drive. Other than that, there have been no major issues with the HCG diet as long as you follow a doctor’s advice on your nutrition plan along with your diet. We recommend you discuss this with your doctor prior to using any supplement.

HCG Drops

The HCG diet is not just limited to injections. There are also HCG drops such as the HCG platinum , which is administered sublingually. If anyone has mentioned to you about a so-called HCG platinum scam, you should take the time out to read HCG platinum reviews to know if this is true or not. However, based on the HCG platinum diet reviews we have gathered, there are no HCG platinum side effects and yes you can very well use HCG platinum as a means to lose weight.

HCG Diet - Know the Facts

Sunday, 12 February 2012

me and my mom started this diet together. on the first of february 2012. its been 12 days and i have only lost 7 pounds and my mom only 6. which is what we had lost after the first 4 days. since our weight has not changed. we dont want to get discouraged but its annoying to take a hcg shot every morning, we take 16 units. and we eat less than 1000 calories and we have also been walking/jogging everyday for atleast 2 miles a day. anyone have any feed back can email me. sabrina_31545 at yahoo.com i would greatly appreciate it. and thank you to anyone that will help us!

I was just curious to know if you can still eat whatever you want, and lose weight. I mean the drops are effective enough, right?

Wait for HCG drops to go on sale!

Wednesday, 18 January 2012

A lot of the top tier HCG companies have huge sales fairly often. I started HCG weight loss back in November when they were having a 50% off sale for a contest or something. I got a call a few weeks later from them asking how my diet was going, and offering me another 50% off on another kit. I wasn't ready for another round, but I realized that if the companies are throwing around these sales so freely, it might be worth just waiting for one. Just my 2 cents. P.S. This diet is fantastic! The first few days on the 500 calorie diet are really hard, but after that it's no sweat. You will be happy with yourself if you can just make it through the first 3 days.

Results

Thursday, 18 August 2011

Today is my last day for drops (30th day), I am happy to report I have lost 19.2lbs. I had to do a total of 4 apples days due to 4 off and on stall days. My initial weight in was 195 and my final weigh in was 175.8. IT DOES WORK! Go thru the frustration but do not quit.

HCG works

Tuesday, 16 August 2011

For those of you who are wondering if this works it does! I did the injections which was much more expensive and saw a doctor during the 40 days, I lost 28 lbs. I gained most of it back because of poor eating habits and marriage problems. But that was my fault. Any low carb diet works, I have lost 11 lbs in a month just from cutting out carbs. I miss the quick weight loss on HCG so I am going to try the drops!

re:Safeh weight stall

Tuesday, 16 August 2011

Can you give more information? You are down 17 pounds in 28 days which I think is really good. Are you on day 28 now or have you gone more days now with no weight loss? Just need you to clarify what you are having happen to your weight loss.

Stalls

Tuesday, 16 August 2011

Is it the heavier you are the faster you lose. It seems like I am at a stall. I have lost 17 lbs in 28-days (including load days). When I read others experience, I get a little discouraged because I feel I should be far along than I am.

17 pounds in 7 days

Saturday, 13 August 2011

I'm NOT kidding. I got the drops and vitamins from a friend who distributes and have followed the diet to the letter. I've lost 17 pounds in 7 days and have not exercised!! Starting weight 197.2 as of this morning, 180.1. 2 years ago I had lost 65 pounds on the Medi-weight loss program, but gained it all back. I do suggest for anyone doing it that they get the scale that also provides your body fat % and water %. I LOVE being a LOSER!!!

Feasability of a modified HCG diet, with

Thursday, 30 June 2011

Question, just been working out, weights, jogging for about 6 weeks. I still need to lose about 30 lbs, I would not want to stop the exercise and get out of shape. Wondering if you can do a custom HCG diet instead of 500 calories 1200 to 1000 calories and burn the extra 700 to 500 with the exercise. In effect putting in 500.

yes to hcg

Saturday, 02 April 2011

I had friends that did the diet..all had done the injections. I could not afford them, so I purchased the drops.. including the 2 days of loading, it has been 10 days, and I am down 7 lbs.! I am very pleased, and have not been hungry. I have followed the diet very closely, and the only thing I am really missing is chocolate. Have not been hungry. Had a very bad headache 2 mornings, but went away with asprin, and that was an expected side affect. I would totally recommend this to anyone that is serious about weight loss. I am so grateful to have lost 7 lbs. as I have tried for years to loose weight, with no success!

I lived in Calif. over 30 years ago and this diet was the thing. I did it. Took an injection everyday and ate 500 cal. Lost 40# but that could have been from only eating 500 calories. This is not a new revolutionary diet.I dont remember having any specific problems.

Buying anything from EBAY scares me. Get it from a reputable supplier. I bought hcg ultra diet drops after researching that product thoroughly on this website and others...it was the one getting the most positive feedback from facebook groups as well...

Thursday, 31 March 2011

The HCG drops that I have purchased from ebay does not work. Its been more than a week and I still feel super hungry all the time. Im not sure if it is the where I purchased the drops from, however, totally expected because usually things like this are only gimmicks and do not work for weight loss. Though I know that if one could actually cut his or her calories down to say 500 calories a day from the regular calorie intake, they can indeed lose a significant amount of weight like others have stated previously. Sadly, I do not feel that HCG drops can assist in suppressing one's appetite. SORRY!

my hcg diet personal experience

Wednesday, 30 March 2011

Before i purchased i read the article here and also your others on specific hcg products, dangers and side effects. That was 5 weeks ago..and i decided to go with hcg ultra diet drops.. i have been doing things strictly for 3 weeks now and followed the directions strictly and I am down 18 pounds of my 45 pound weight loss goals..
