My sister said lotion wasn’t even necessary but I have really dry skin I need the name of any lotion that I can use
Answer:
I’m doing the HCG diet right now following the 21 Day program from http://prohcgdiet.com As per the instruction I got, you can use lotion and make up during the HCG protocol. With all of your personal care and beauty products, you need to check the ingredients and avoid any products the contain food oils. Most solid deodorants contain castor oil, which is not allowed…. Currently I am using Pantene products for the hair. I changed my lotion to Neutrgena oil free face lotion but use this for hand and body lotion as well. I changed my soap to liquid Zest. I did not change my shave gel either. No issues that I can see and I get all products at Wal-Mart.

I want to talk the drops to lose weight i am 5 foot 9 165 lbs. Will it harm me in anyway? Please respond quicklu thank you!
Answer:
HCG is an acronym for the hormone Human Chorio Gonadotropin, which is
found in both men and women, though pregnant women have the highest
levels of HCG in their bodies.
The HCG hormone can be made synthetically or extracted from a
pregnant woman’s urine and then processed for use by other humans.
Advocates of the HCG diet believe that, by strict dieting
and taking daily injections of HCG, people can successfully lose
weight. They say that dieters following the HCG
diet should expect to lose somewhere between a half pound and 3 pounds
(.23 to 1.36 kilograms) each day on the low-calorie, high-fiber plan.
You consume a mere 500 calories a day on this diet.
They say that that combining the
low-calorie diet with the HCG hormone injections will lead to
immediate weight loss without the common side effects of many
diets, such as hunger pains, headaches and nausea. They
believe that because the HCG injections burn fat, the hormone provides
the body with necessary energy while reducing hunger and keeping the
body out of starvation mode.
Anybody eating that little is bound to lose weight, of course, and
many people found out that injection did not make it easier to bear
hunger.
And the drug lacks substantial research, so exposing your body to such
a restrictive diet may not be in your best interests.
The original HCG diet plan is quite restrictive and particular. For
breakfast, you can have only tea or coffee without sugar. The diet
puts a one-tablespoon limit on how much milk you can consume each day,
so if you require milk with your coffee and tea, you’ll want to keep
this in mind. For lunch and dinner, you can cook 100 grams (.22
pounds) of lean meat or seafood and pair it with one vegetable from
this list of 13: asparagus, beet greens, cabbage, celery, chard,
chicory, cucumbers, fennel, green salad, onions, red radishes, spinach
and tomatoes. For lunch and dinner, you can eat one toast cracker and
an orange, apple, half a grapefruit or strawberries.
Administration of the hormone is usually through two methods — either an oral
supplement or a liquid injection.
The FDA has approved HCG injections for use in fertility issues, but not in dieting.
There are a few dangers that come with injecting HCG into your body.
As with any injected medication, the potential for blood clots exists. Some women
who have injected HCG have experienced a serious condition called
ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can be deadly.
Other less serious side effects might be headaches and
depression. Young boys taking HCG might experience premature puberty.
Pregnant or nursing women could cause harm to their
babies if the hormone is passed on.
And although advocates claim that HCG keeps the body functioning
properly, a diet of 500 calories is below any healthy amount
recommended by most doctors. Weight loss is almost guaranteed when
you’re eating so much less than the recommended daily allowance, but
you may risk your health. And although the HCG is supposed to help
with side effects, in one study the HCG injections showed no different
feelings or results than a placebo injection.

I’m currently in preparation for the HCG diet. I want to loose 40lbs by October. I would like to know a few things from people who have used HCG in the past. Where to buy real HCG diet drops? Please specify what brand of you used. How to make the diet easier? Any good recipes and foods to eat with the HCG diet would be helpful as well.
Answer:
I tried Green Web hCG about 6 months ago and did not have a good experience at all. After sharing my experiences on a weight loss forum someone recommended Pharmaslim HCG and directed me to their blog where they recorded all of they’re meals and weigh-ins day by day while using Pharmaslim. I was impressed so i ordered a bottle in April and dropped 25 lbs in the first 42 day cycle. Pharmaslim HCG is one of the only hCG weight loss formulas available that offers a money back guarantee. Highly recommended, just be sure to prepare yourself for the diet, believe me it can be very hard to limit yourself to 500 calories per day.

Answer:
quite a few people in my family are on the hcg drops. my brother in law has lost, like, 40 pounds in a couple months. he looks like a different person! and he’s said his blood sugar, cholesterol, and overall health has improved. everyone else has lost about 10 -20 pounds in the first couple weeks so it works. you’ll have to buy probably 2 bottles to cover the full time. good luck! (they got the drops from diyhcg.com and it takes about a full week to get ‘em)

if so how did it work; did you still lose 1-2 lbs a day? what happens if you forget to take the drops one day?
Answer:
my friend did the HCG diet but with injections and she did it for 55 days i believe each ‘term’ and she wasnt even that big.. well she wasnt thin id say she started at 5’4″ and 165 lbs .. after the 55 days she lost about 40 lbs and has kept it off for half a year…the thing with this diet is after you reach goal weight you cant go back to old habits.. once she was off she found out how many calories per day to maintain her weight( just google calorie calculator)and exersized regularly… but most doctors advise not to do more than 43 days at a time

I have 50 lbs I need to lose. I have been dieting and working out for 3 weeks and Ive only lost 5 lbs. I was wondering if anyone has tried the HCG drops. Thanks
Answer:
Jessa -
All over the counter HCG “formulas” related to weight loss were banned on January 24, 2011
This is the same protocol used to ban Hydroxycut in 2009.
The promoters (con artists) have no acceptable clinical evidence their “product” does what they claim it will.
Anyone that lost weight did it because they ate fewer calories than they burned. That’s it!
The only approved use for HCG is to increase fertility in both men and women.
HCG levels increase in pregnant women.
Since pregnant women gain weight, does injecting yourself with this hormone or
ingesting it make sense to lose weight?
1-1/2 to 2 pounds per week of weight loss is HEALTHY weight loss.
Stick to your program and don’t waste your money on these bogus products.
Luck.

I keep reading bout it but am totally confused on how it works and what exactly is it. I am not interested in trying but I was just curious what it was??? Anyone have experience with it?? Does it work???
Thanks!
Answer:
hCG stands for Human Choriogonadotropin, the hormone produced by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. Research suggests a small, daily hCG injection (approx. 125 IU to 200 IU) results in a weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs per day, and often more, when accompanied by a VLCD (very low calorie diet of apprx 500 calories).
While you are only consuming 500 calories, your hypothalamus is continually releasing the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually operating on thousands of calories a day. The result is your body using thousands of calories of fat from your body each day, the reason hCG dieters lose 1 to 2 lbs of fat or more, per day.
