[> good girl - just cutting back on starch and sugar should do wonders- I've tried all sorts of different diets lately - including the HGP(?) - but since I've hit 50 I can't seem to maintain my weight easily anymore- it's a horrific battle- It's especially annoying because I'd lost almost forty pounds over the last five years by losing a few and then maintainng and then losing more - maintainig now is so hard -- chris k, 11:06:29 02/11/12 Sat [1]

[> [> I think you mean the HCG diet? I opted to not do that one as it has not been approved by the FDA and it is illegal to obtain over the counter. Also there isnt enough research that shows what kind of long term affect HCG has on a non pregnant body. HCG is a hormone produced by pregnancy hormones. I dont mess with stuff I dont know anything about. 1500 cal seems to be working for me. I have noticed the last couple of days that I get full faster so I think my stomach is shrinking which is good. -- TF, 09:09:51 02/12/12 Sun [1]

[> [> [> yup - that's the one - I managed to lose about 12 real pounds in 28 days- learned a lot- -- chris k, 19:11:47 02/12/12 Sun [1]

[> [> [> [> The HCG diet requires you to restrict your calories so much to the point where, you really dont need the HCG really. My sister in law did this diet and she could only take in 500-700 calories a day. Well good grief ANYONE whould lose weight with that. A healthy 4 year old gets more then that. Who needs HCG? LOL -- TF, 19:58:32 02/12/12 Sun [1]

[> [> [> [> [> i figured out I get the same results with 700-900 calories and including non starch and sugar things they don't want you to use the first days- what I suspect the HCG does is stops your body from thinking in you're in starvation mode and hoarding the fat - it's supposed to stop you from being hungry but that never worked for me - I did better just adding a little more calories in the form of protein. -- chris k, 20:27:43 02/13/12 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> [> and you're right that once a week I try and do an 'HCG day- where I eat just protein and veggie and fruit twice not to exceed 900 calories and that usually loses the junk I put on during the week - of course on back to back excess food days like yesterday and today- my weight is going up no matter what I do - sigh -- chris k, 20:29:34 02/13/12 Mon [1]
