A Message From An HCG Diet User

I think most people that do or have done the HCG Diet, need to come up with different ways to make the diet their own. It's important to find out what works best for you, then use it.

As I have mentioned before, I love to hear from all of my readers out there about how the diet has worked for you. I am always glad to see when you leave new comments for me to read. Even if you don't know it, your comments can be very helpful to other readers of the HCG Diet 411 Blog.

I recently received an email from one of my readers who has been doing very well with the HCG Diet. She had sent me an email after reading one of my posts "HCG Diet Nae-Sayers". I thought her message could possibly help others out there, so I wanted to share it here in this post.


Coleen @ Jane Doh! HCG And More, Writes...
"Hi Brian:

I hear you, man!  I recently did one round (Oct to mid-Nov, 2009), dropping 25.3 lbs. & 36” overall (7” off my waist alone)... now, three months later and eating a 1400 calorie diet with moderate exercise (at least 10,000 steps a day), I’m down a total of 35.8 lbs. & 47” overall (9” at the waist).  I think the naysayers miss the whole point of the HCG protocol...it’s hard, but it’s for a finite amount of time and it’s about resetting your relationship with food/booze, etc.

I had friends laying bets I’d never last... but with the results I saw each day...and continue to see, I can not complain.  And, truth be told, I have changed... my alcohol consumption is considerably less (still like to toast a glass of bubbly (sometimes 1/2 bottle) with my honey)... but red and white wine are out.  I’m not saying forever, but, quite frankly, neither tastes that good to me anymore.  Champagne is still yummy, but again, a little bit goes a long way!  Also, I’ve completely cut out the “whites” (potatoes, pasta, rice, bread, etc.) and with the exception of 1 or 2 peanut M&Ms as an occasional treat (and, yes, I’m content with just one or two), no sugars, either.  Certainly no cakes, cookies, candy, etc.

I track every calorie I eat (peanut M&M: 10.3 calories); exceed one gallon of water consumed each day; and weigh-in every morning.

Have successfully worked in a nice variety of what I consider my “new” idea of a treat:  all natural peanut butter (1 tbl. W/granny smith apple (96 & 95 cals, respectively), tiny box of raisins (45 cals), 5 dried apricot halves (110 cals), 10 pistachios (40 cals), 5 macadamia nuts pcs. (35 cals) , etc... so I don’t feel deprived.

Anyway, are you doing/have you done HCG?  If so, how were your results?

Yours,

Jane Doh!
aka:  Colleen"

I heard from Colleen today, and she says that to date she has lost 41.7 lbs. Great Job Colleen!

This just goes to show you how well the diet can work and it's worth mentioning that she continues to lose weight 4 months after stopping the HCG Hormone Injections.

Cheese On The HCG Diet - Is It Allowed?

Is cheese one of the items on the HCG 500 Calorie Diet Menu? Anyone who has read the HCG Diet Protocol knows that there are a lot of different rules to follow. On top of it all, you have to remember which foods you can and cannot eat. However, what people usually remember more than anything is that list of foods you can have is much smaller than the foods that you can't. Still, it can be quite a task to memorize that list in such a short period of time. I guess this is why people always ask my wife and I which foods are allowed during Phase 2 of the HCG Weight Loss Diet - One of the more common foods we are asked about is cheese. Now I love cheese probably more than the average person, so I can definitely understand why people are hoping and praying that it's listed on the HCG Diet Menu. And this brings us to the question we are here to answer... Can You Have Cheese On The HCG 500 Calorie Diet? I think deep down inside most of you already knew that the answer ...

How The Hypothalamus Works

What the Hypothalamus Gland does and why it's so important to fix it... The Hypothalamus Gland is located directly below the Thalamus which is at the center of the brain. It controls many automatic functions of the human body. So this means that it can tell the autonomic nervous system what to do. The Hypothalamus also controls pituitary output by distributing certain chemicals to the pituitary's frontal lobe. To put it more simply, the Hypothalamus Gland organizes and controls many complex emotions, feelings and moods. It also controls all motivational states including hunger, appetite and food intake, and everything to do with the concept of pleasure including satisfaction, comfort and creative activities. The neurons in the Hypothalamus produce a number of Hypothalamic Neurotransmitters which relay information and instruction to all parts of the brain and body, directly influencing the Pituitary Gland. This is where the Growth Hormone, Thyroid Hormone Releasi...

HCG Diet Dangers

HCG Diet Dangers - Are there any? And if so, what are they? So what are the dangers associate with the HCG Diet? If you were to Google the term " HCG Diet Dangers ", you would get a bunch of sites trying to sell you something related to the HCG Diet. A lot of the websites that you will run into trying to find the answer to this question, are nothing more than marketers using fear tactics to get you to buy their product. So try not to get pulled in by this sort of thing. The truth is there are some HCG Diet Dangers, but they're probably not as bad as you think. In fact, some of them are human errors that make this method of weight loss the most dangerous. I'm talking about things like getting an infection from not cleaning your syringe. While getting an infection from a syringe is a danger that is associated with the HCG Diet, it is a mistake that a human makes that causes it. Therefore, the danger can be eliminated if you can only remember to use alcohol pads...
