My Experience With The HCG Diet

I found out that HCG is a hormone that women produce while pregnant. If taken by non-pregnant people it suppresses the appetite, and revs up your metabolism.

Low Calories

The diet calls for only 500 calories per day, which scared the heck out of me! However, once I got started I didn't feel hungry at all. The HCG really works. I remember when I was pregnant the doctor told me that I was eating for 2. I remember thinking that if I was eating for 2, why am I not as hungry as I should be? Now I realize it was the HCG my body was producing that suppressed my appetite.

Drops or Injections

I couldn't decide if I should use the drops or the injections. Some websites swore by the injections, and others said it didn't matter. I simply couldn't afford to get the injections so I had to get the drops. I just wanted to make sure I got them from a reputable company that had lots of testimonials. I have heard about people getting ripped off.

There were a couple people from work that were on them and they recommended a good place to go. I needed to lose the weight fast, we had relatives coming to town and I wanted to look my best, so I went for it!

What I Ate

I ate lots of lean meats like fish, chicken, shrimp, and very lean beef. This was the bulk of my protein. I mainly ate broccoli, peas, asparagus, bell peppers, and salads for my vegetables. The main fruits I ate were apples, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, and cantaloupe. I also tried a new food called the Miracle Noodle, this was a huge help.

My Results

Turns out the drops worked just as good, if not better than the injections. I lost 30 pounds in 30 days! I felt like a new woman, and I had more energy than I have had for years! I discovered that the HCG diet got rid of fat I had been trying to get rid of for years. The body doesn't store fat when you're on this diet because the HCG fools it into thinking it has enough calories and fat. The body has to find fat in other areas to burn for fuel, it's ingenious!

I'm so happy and delighted that I chose this diet, it really worked. Stay tuned for my next article to see if I can keep it off. :)
