Do you know what the hCG Hormone is or what it actually does? These days, there are a lot of misconceptions about what the HCG Hormone is and what it does. So today I want to set the record straight. First, lets talk about what the HCG Hormone is NOT. The HCG Hormone IS NOT It's Not A Magic Injection: Injecting yourself with the HCG Hormone will not magically make you skinny. You have to follow the HCG Protocol to the letter and be willing to work at it. So, although it might seem like HCG is magic, it's not - But it is great.   It's Not Pee:  A lot of people have told me and my wife Suzy, "How can you inject yourself with a pregnant woman's pee" Although the hCG Hormone is extracted out of urine from pregnant women, you're not actually injecting the urine itself. It's completely safe and sanitary.   It's Not A Temporary Solution To Weight Loss: The hCG Hormone along with the 500 Calorie Diet, if used correctly, can be a permanent solu...

So what happens if you catch a cold on the HCG Diet? Today I received a comment on an old post, " HCG Diet Forums " after reading it I realized that I have never posted anything about this particular topic before. Catching A Cold On The HCG Diet One of my readers had left me a comment and asked... "Crystal said... I can't find anything anywhere about what you can do while on the HCG and develop a cold? What can you take that won't mess your diet up?" This was my response to Crystal's questions... "Hi Crystal, This is really a good question, especially because a lot of us get colds during this time of year when the seasons change. Unfortunately if you get a cold on the HCG Diet, it can sometimes cause you to gain a little bit of weight. But there are some things that you can take if you do get sick... At the first sign of a cold, you want to take large doses of Vitamin C. It can also be combined with an antihistamine. ...

Today I wanted to talk about the proper way to store the HCG Hormone . Before mixing, the HCG should be kept in a dark box at room temperature until the expiration date. Expiration dates are usually about three years from current date. Once the HCG has been mixed, it should be stored in the refrigerator.   If you keep the HCG cold, it should remain potent for about 30 days . However, some brands claim to have longer expiration dates. Some people say that it is okay to freeze the HCG until you are ready to use it, but this is generally not accepted as proper storage and could affect the potency. Freezing is not recommended Let me know your thoughts on the topic by leaving a comment, or you can email me at blog@hcg411.info . Thanks for reading. Remember to check back for more tips on the HCG 500 Calorie Diet, and as always, good luck!

Today I wanted to talk about an HCG Diet Adjustment that you can make. For your first round of the HCG Diet, you should definitely stick to the HCG Diet Protocol exactly as it is written. You need to establish your own weight loss patterns before making any changes to the diet. After you complete the first round of the HCG Diet, you will be a lot more familiar with how the diet works. You are also going to know how your body will work with the diet. If you do not reach your target weight the first round and you decide to do a second, you might want to try making this little adjustment to see how well it helps you to lose weight. For your second round of the HCG Diet with Hormone Injections, you should try cutting out the Grissini Bread/Melba Toast . A lot of people who have done this, have found that they lose weight much easier than people who leave it in their diet. You can still use the Grissini/Melba Toast to add a little bit of crunch to your meal. For example,...

For today's daily tip, I wanted to do a post on the most common places to inject yourself with the HCG Hormone. I have come across a lot of questions about this on the internet lately, so I wanted to make sure that it was something I did an entire post about. When giving yourself your daily HCG Hormone injection, you have a few different options when it comes to picking an injection site. The 3 most popular places are: 1. The upper leg or thigh area. 2. You can do it in your stomach on either side of your belly-button. (Not in your belly-button or on your waistline) 3. Your other option, is the back of your upper arms. Most people do not prefer to do it here, but for some it is less painful. Make sure when you do your HCG Hormone injections, that your rotating which side of the body that you inject yourself on each day. Like we discussed in the HCG Hormone Injection Time Saver post. I hope that all of you are doing well with your HCG Diet. If you ever have any questio...

Want to know more about doing an HCG Diet Apple Day? While on the HCG Low Calorie Diet, you will most likely have a couple of days that you won't lose any weight. The good news is that there is something you can do about it. However, you should still be mentally prepared for the one or two days that you don't. This way you won't be completely shocked if and when the scale doesn't move. Now if you do have a 24 to 48 hour period where you don't lose any weight, you can do an HCG Diet Apple Day. What Is An Apple Day? An Apple Day is when you only eat 6 apples throughout the entire day in place of eating your regular meals. You can still drink water, but not as much as you normally would during the day. What I recommend doing is to eat a large apple in place of each meal. Then in between your normal eating times if you find yourself getting hungry, simply have another apple. Keep in mind, Apple Days are psychological as well. So be sure to have a pos...

How Important Is It To Weight Your Food On The HCG Diet? Anyone who is on the HCG Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD), or anyone who has done the HCG Diet before, will tell you that weighing your food is a huge part of losing weight on the 500 calorie program. It is so important for you to weigh your food thoroughly, because it's simply next to impossible to know exactly how much a piece of meat or fish weighs just by looking at it. If there is one suggestion I can give to you first time HCG Dieters, it would be to weigh your food. You have to do this, there is just no getting around it. Otherwise, your either going to be eating too much food which will keep you from hitting your target weight that much sooner, or your going to be hungry all of the time. You would be surprised the difference a couple of grams can make. So what you NEED to do is go and pick yourself up a food scale. They are not hard to find either. I actually found one at Target for $5.00. If you have the...

For the HCG Low Calorie Diet, the George Foreman Grill is a must have . There are many different reasons for you to get a George Foreman Grill while on this diet. The most important reason to get one of these grills is, it will actually help to reduce the amount of your fat intake. The George Foreman Grill has a unique and genius design. Unlike traditional cookware it cooks on a slant; this allows all of the fatty oils and juices to run off into a little container that is placed on the edge of the grill, rather than your food being cooked in it. How Much Does A Foreman Grill Cost? The George Foreman Grill is very affordable. It has been a while since my wife and I had picked ours up, but I believe it was around $20.00 for the basic model. That alone is a good enough reason to get it. Plus, this is something you will want to have around even after you complete the HCG Diet . After all, you are going to want to still eat healthy after you hit your target weight, and this gri...
