HCG diet

Has anyone dried the HCG diet? I know the stars use it and I have a doctor getting it for me. I would like to know if anyone has had any experience with it. Mine will be the inject-able. I saw on Dr. Oz as well.

AnonI can tell you that everyone I know who has used this diet has gained all their weight back.. a 500 cal diet is not conducive to developing or saving any muscle.. eating such a low cal diet without any good fats is a quick way to put your whole system out of wack ..
No1Any calorie deficit diet works
A co-worker of mine tried this a few years ago. She lost about 35lbs. It's hard to tell if the hcg was responsible as her diet was strict, and she worked out hard. Also I think the hcg her Dr prescribed her was much more expensive than what can be found here or online.
That's about the same I have heard as well. It is 500 per vial and strict. I am getting my blood work for all female stuff today to see if maybe my gaining in the mid section is caused by lack of progesterone or hormonal imbalance. I have always been thin in the mid section and since winstrol back in October and going off of it, I gained there and in the hips.
MId section weight is often due to high cortisol levels. Try to reduce your stress and get your other levels checked. You're on the right track. High cortisol is often a result of our other hormones being imbalanced.
I really don't like the HCG diet. I worked at a place where we used to have clients do it. We also had other programs too. It works because you only take in 500 calories a day. Everyone would gain the weight back afterwards. We stopped offering it. People has much better and long term results doing our other program. Our other program was basically eating a clean well balanced diet. We just taught people structure and gave them encouragement. By the end the had the knowledge and discipline to keep the weight off. The truth is nothing will ever take the place of hard work and healthy food. I never did HCG myself, but many of my coworkers who tried it regret it so much. They have said it has been more of a challange to get those last 10 lbs off since they used it. They feel it changed something in there body. My mom did it and I've noticed the same for her. She's always been able to get in the gym and eat right and drop weight easily. She did HCG a year ago and hasn't been able to get to her goal.
