HCG Injections for weight loss!?!? who has done them what was your experience??

Is this only by prescription?

No you can walk into a weight loss clinic and ask for them you have to see the Dr. on site first for him say its ok for you to take. they are not cheap. insurance doesnt cover them. they are about $375 for one month and $35 for the office visit. the reviews i look up say you can lose up to 2lbs a day or more depending how well you can follow the diet.

I had many friends do them and all regained the weight plus even more.. from secondhand experience, it wasn't good.. yes they dropped a ridiculous amount of weight but nearly doubled it back once they stopped taking it. I'm sure there are people that have been successful, but I don't recommend it.

I was just going to say the same thing Sarah mentioned. My friend had the same experience. I wouldn't recommend it.

Insurance doesn't cover it?? Well, I for one am shocked!

Sounds frankly dangerous.

I did it before, I used the drops. It was horrible. I almost passed out. I lasted a day!

My friend did it and lost 15 lbs in a month but she regained the weight and she was struggling to lose it again.

I have lost 9 lbs so far..I started my diet jan 4th. I eat 1200 calories a day and ran for 30 minutes 3-5 days a week. I think its healthier than hcg.

I don't think they do cover it at least that clinic didnt (i dont have insurance anyway) so im not sure some might because a Dr has to give it to you. its not dangerous because its a natural hormone and the reason im doing it is because i was on weight watchers for years and lost about 80 lbs but i fell off the wagon last year and decided to eat whatever i want and i gained 45 lbs back!....im going to get back on weight watchers but this is just a way for me to jump start it and get my use to the portion control again and lose at least 15-20 lbs

My fiance' is on his second round of this. The first time I think he lost 50 or so pounds? Definitely more than 2 per week. He's probably on his third or fourth week now and he's lost 24 lbs. The first was over the summer, he gained back some during the holidays but that's because he simply ate like crap. He is so super strict though when he's dieting. He does it in his stomach. It really works well for him. He is hungry every day though. It's difficult for a grown man who also works out to only eat 500 calories a day. I wish I could do it, I'm definitely jealous of how rapidly he's losing and I'm doing it the "right" way and losing very slowly.

I'm with Leanne on this. Develope healthy eating habits and work out, gimick crap only works while your doing it then you revert back to yourold ways after all you havn't taught yourself anything you've just tricked yourself. Sounds terrible

This sounds absolutely awful and unsafe.

These things never work long term. NEVER. Change your diet and exercise. That's really the only way.

You can eat 500 calories of jellybeans a day and lose weight.

Not healthy. Don't do it.

On the surface it can appear crazy or unhealthy, but my experience has been the complete opposite. I have catalogued my whole journey with hCG at my blog hcgchica.com if you want to see. It really does work- I've had hydrostatic body fat testing done before and after the diet with a very high rate of fat loss (80-90%), and it's been over 9 months now since my last round, eating regular healthy food and doing great at maintaining my losses.

I hope that helps someone!

View Quoted Comment Yes your right insurance doesn't cover them but my injections we're nowhere near $375 a month. This will be my first time trying them thanks for sharing the info.

Please take caution in pursuing this method of weightloss. hCG shots, as a means of weight loss, has not been well received by the FDA or other research into its safety. Generally, the restrictions on caloric intake are dangerously low, and the chemical use increases the risk of blood clots. If you do proceed, please be certain to monitor your health very closely!

I have been happy with it it's bee 7 days i have been losing around 2 pounds a day with less hunger pains though out the day.
