Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Hi everyone! I am 34 woman and my stats are 145 pounds and 5'9. I have been working out naturally with diet and excercise for several years. Summer is here and I would like to shed some pounds. I wanted to try the HCG drops but my husband seems to think it is just a fad? However he has injectable HCG and would like to know if it would assist in any weight loss for me if I were to run it as a cycle? Thanks for your input!
New here need answers about HCG
- Thread starter his&hers
- Start date
I agree with your husband it is a fad. The diet protocal is 600 calories a day seems like a quick fix diet vs a long term change in my mind means most people will gain the weight back very fast.

A friend of mine did the injectable for a while, lost a noticeable amount of weight, now she's gained it back and then some.
Not saying that will happen to you, but eating so little calories, once you start eating normally again, the re-gain is almost inevitable (unless of course you ease yourself back into it, which most don't have the patience to do it seems)

Ive seen interesting anecdotal evidence behind it...but agree with P on this...it seems like theres a serious rebound because it never actually teaches anyone to eat
The drops have trace amounts of HCG which makes them basically bunk.
I agree that in the injectable there may be some benifits to it but overall it is not a long term solution unless they plan on staying on 600 calories a day as well as the HCG.
the drops part didn't even register with me (I read it but didnt process it)...I was referring to the injectable
It won't solve your "problem".. Losing weight/fat or gaining muscle is not about what you can take to make it happen. It about what you can DO.
You can learn to eat clean.
You can kick your own ass in the gym.
You can know it takes patience, dedication and motivation.
You can realize that there is no easy solution.
If it sounds easy, then it is not going to work. Injecting something and having the fat fall off isn't going to work. Sorry.

Most people on this site will just say no this no that and not really hit you up with some advice you can use.. YOU WAITED TO LONG.. Growth ain't going to much of anything by the time summer roles around and to be perfectly honest you could accomplish more faster with a diet change and a a few good supplements.
I would like to welcome you to this site and ask that you stick around longer then just a thread asking for a quick fix for summer. My self and others are here to help you for the log hall. Thanks for coming and send me a pm some time. You have lots to learn..
Vegitarian Diet for HGC cycle?? Please HELP
I am starting injections today on my 5 week hcg cycle!!
Im 145lbs at 5'9".... I'd like to cut 15lbs off due to being out of the gym because of a boob job lol. So here is the problem at hand... Im almost a complete vegitarian!

So this is my first cycle of anything and I want the best results possible, if anyone can help please do!! Lay out what I need to eat step by step meal by meal and I will surely take your advise!

THANK YOU What protein-rich foods DO you eat?
Eggs?
Fish? (yes, I know this is a meat, but some Veg's eat it)
Tofu?
Beans? What kinds?
Legumes?
How do you usually eat? How do you usually prepare your foods? What is a sample day like for you? (specifics)
Protein powder doesn't taste good. None of them do. It is a means to an end. Protein powder is used (mostly) Pre or Post-workout to help muscles repair and grow. They can be used as a meal or snack in occasional circumstances.
Some kinds can be used as meal replacements - those typically taste better (but still shitty IMO) because they have carbs.
If you blend protein powder w berries (raspberry, blueberry) it is much better. I like vanilla exclusively - I find it to be the most bland and least offensive.

That happens as you can't lift typically for 6 weeks after. I was able to do light cardio within two weeks.
How long has it been since you got BA?
Can you give us details on your current diet we can for sure help there.

Congrats on your ba! My ba was done 6 weeks ago and have just been released to lift !! I am a vegitrian and really need alot more protein in my diet, if you could help me lay out a plan from morning to night I would love to follow it. Right now I can say I eat atkins protein shakes raisins,almonds,berries, peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bead, carrots, apples, yogurt and salad.
What did you eat today?
Congrats on your ba! I had my ba done six weeks ago and just been released to get back into the gym. I feel like my diet right now isn't that balanced and I lack protien, sometimes not eating more than a bowl cereal in a day. I eat oatmeal, yogurt, raisins, peanut butter, whole wheat bread, berries, almonds and Atkins shakes. If you could reccomened a daily diet I can follow I will do. I am not againist eating beans, egg beaters and fish just not sure how to apply it to a better diet. Thanks so much for your help
Re: Vegitarian Diet for HGC cycle?? Please HELP
No that is not just for the drops they ripped the diet off basically. Here is the thing with the typical HCG diet it is monitored by a Dr. as the 500-600 calories is extremely low.

Sorry I mereged the threads so everything was in the same place but it doesn't look very clean.
Not enough real protein sources. Hell, not enough food period. Unless, I guess, you decided to aim for like 600 calories a day?
