Wow. Mike. You look like a completely different man. As if you took
10+ years off! Congrats you look amazing, and you definitely gave me
the confidence I needed. One of my frineds is saying, "Don be
disappointed when this doesn't work". So I can clearly see it does.
Congrats.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a reliable cleanse or do people
usually skip that part. I kind of wanted to do one especially since I
have done all of the research on just exactly what that nasty stuff is.
I also could use some suggestions on some of the other cleanses too.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the info! I did check out some of the files on the website but I guess that I didn't read enough. Yes, it is kind of hard to keep that in mind about the so-called 'newness' of this protocal. I have gotten alot of negative vibes from a few people, but I am still going to go through with it. The way I look at it is that people take risks every day. At least this isnt as extreme as by-pass surgery(not that I have any thing against it, it is just not for me).
Thanks again,
Carol

Hi
I think most of us on this board started off wanting the support of a doctor, but as you can see most doctors in the US have not heard of, or support the protocol, or they cost so much that they price themselves out of the business (in my case, anyway :o) ). Depending on how you decide to obtain your HGC and whether or not you go through one of the clinics available in the US, you can spend from $150 up to what ever you want. I personally opted to keep the price down, and do the mixing and injecting myself. It was a little nerve racking at first, but I got the hang of it. I need to do phase 2 twice, so I figure I spent about $200. I just finished my first round of phase 2 and lost 22 lbs.
Something to keep in mind is that this is NOT a "new" protocol, it has
been around for 50+ years, and is easily obtained in Europe, just not in the US. KT has just recently made it known in the US (thanks KT!)
The people that formed this group have put together a great Files and Database section on the left of your computer screen. You first need to read Dr. Simeon's Pounds and Inches in the Files section. Then there are files as to providers of HGC and supplies, as well as mixing and injecting instructions. My best advice is to immerse yourself in all the information the groups offer, until you can practically recite it in your sleep!
Mike OHHHHH my Gosh You look soooooo good my daughter said you look younger, It's amazing. I posted my pics yesterday and I'm starting the shots tomorrow morning. Now i'm far more excited than afraid of the shots.
If anyone has anymore meal plans I would appriciate some

Just get in within the 24 hours apart however that is. And yes of course if you need to adjust your schedule to get rid off the haunting fat that (like most of us) was in despair to get rid of before doing this......then I'm sure you will work it out....TOUGH LOVE...it's worth it, cause you're worth it!

Everyone, Simeons, Kevin, fellow dieters, etc. all seem to be saying inject first thing in the morning, BUT im
not always up in the morning as my work schedule is erattic (I work out of the home a small business owner), and my mother who is doing the protocol with me also has to run out the door first thing in the morning and doesnt always have time in the morning to do the shots...Is it fine to inject in the evening, as long as we are regular and on time with the shots? I dont want to compromise anything, but I dont want to have to totally rework my sleep and work schedule either, but I can if absolutely necessary.
Hey hey Phase 3 here....I gained up to 5 lbs in a week (no cheating either) and then I have done the steak protocol 2 x's. I dropped in both times. I am gaining muscle mass becuase of my protien intake and lifting (it is a natural for me). I still could stnad to lose 5 lbs of fat....but that is more in the head than anything. I just picked up all my suits and slacks from the tailors.....I had to have everything refitted back to my days of 10 years ago!
Keep at it...

hi. I'm at a similar point, in the second week of Phase 3. I have been really careful, no sugar, a little wine, perhaps half a glass, no starches and I have continued to lose weight, another two pounds..one day I gained, and really watched it the next day..I exercise daily, 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer, and weights and rowing..each person is apparently different. I can't drink much apparently, more than a little seems to make a difference..as for lotions, I've gone back to the norm, and I take Dr. Weil supplements daily..it's certainly a life change but seems manageable. keep in touch!
I am starting phase 3 on Sunday. I am sorry for all the questions, but I just always want to be certain. Can I have some ideas of the types of food people are eating? What foods are people gaining on? Is fruit allowed? Can I go back to using my normal makeup, lotions, body wash, etc? What supplements are you taking? Lastly, I am supposed to take a medication from my doctor that I put off until after the injections, do you think I could take it during phase 3? Again really sorry, but any help would be appreciated.

I am sorry, Stephanie in thinking you were the one who posted the 10.8 lbs. Good job to you and than you for answering my question, only five days on and already 10.8 lbs gone, awesome!
I have had 2 gorge days plus 3 very low calorie days... within these 3 vlcd, I have lost 10.8 lbs.

yep I have done good... lol... 2 gorge days I gained a whole .2 lbs... I stuffed myself silly too... lol with 3 vlcd days, I have lost 10.8 lbs and 8.5"... I just can't believe the results... my cravings are going away to snack and the meals I have been having are starting to make me full to the point of not being able to finish.
try giving yourself an injection in the tummy area, but was told to stay 2" away from the belly button... just lightly pinch a roll with your fingers, cotton ball it with rubbing alcohol, wipe dry with clean cotton ball and inject 90 degrees in. It does not hurt at all... make sure the area wiped with the rubbing alcohol is completely dry and the hcg room temp warm... these make a difference in whether it hurts or not. If you just keep going in a clock direction from one side of your tummy to the other, you will avoid the same spot twice.
hope this helps... good luck kiddo

Gorging!! Hi all. Day one of two of Gorging. Just finish a whole bunch
of sushi. I guess these are days we shouldn't too for granted. Eating
as much as we want. Funny start to a diet huh?
I am really looking forward to the days ahead. I love the tea, so I am
glad we get to have as much of it as we want. So my BDAY is this
Saturday, and I had to warn ppl that I won't be eating any cakes..etc.
It's ok, this is my gift to myself!

Hey there. Thanks for your reply. I have a Macy's close by, I'll check
to see if they have it. Thanks a bunch!
P.s. Welcome to the group. Where did you order your supplies & HCG
from? I Received mine Friday & stated my first shot today.
I was telling my Friend today about it and he says, "did you know it
comes from a pregnant womens pee?" Oh laughed so hard. Of course I know!
Have a good one all

Hello, everyone!
I have been reading the posts over the last few weeks, gearing up for
starting the hcg injections at the end of this week. I am expecting my
shipment to arrive this Thursday or Friday. I hope to join in this
group more frequently for the support and to provide support to others
as we go through this journey together.
I bought a great digital food scale at Macy's. The brand name is
Salter. I chose it (and like it) because it is small - about the size
of a salad plate. You can "zero it out", meaning that you can put any
food container on the scale, press a button and it will automatically
re-set to "zero". You can then put the food directly into the bowl or
serving plate. The digital read-out is small but clear and easy to
read. It runs on batteries. I believe it was about $28.00. I really
like it.
I think this brand can be found elsewhere. The company makes small
kitchen appliances. I hope this helps.

I started my first shot today! (omg was i
scared doing it).
hi. I'm at a similar point, in the second week of Phase 3. I have been really careful, no sugar, a little wine, perhaps half a glass, no starches and I have continued to lose weight, another two pounds..one day I gained, and really watched it the next day..I exercise daily, 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer, and weights and rowing..each person is apparently different. I can't drink much apparently, more than a little seems to make a difference..as for lotions, I've gone back to the norm, and I take Dr. Weil supplements daily..it's certainly a life change but seems manageable. keep in touch!
I am starting phase 3 on Sunday. I am sorry for all the questions,
but I just always want to be certain. Can I have some ideas of the
types of food people are eating? What foods are people gaining on?
Is fruit allowed? Can I go back to using my normal makeup, lotions,
body wash, etc? What supplements are you taking? Lastly, I am
supposed to take a medication from my doctor that I put off until
after the injections, do you think I could take it during phase 3?
Again really sorry, but any help would be appreciated.

My period was normally 3 days also. I stopped the injections for the three days and continued to get it for FIVE MORE DAYS! I didn't lose wieght for a few days before, during and a few days after. I would not start the injections until it's over, it really slowed my progress down.

this is the way it was explained so I understood it... and it makes sense.
You have to know what you are eating for the day.... add up your calories for your protein and fruit. (1 lunch, 1 dinner) and what's left is your veggie intake. divide that by half (1 each meal) and you get your 500 cals.
hope this helps

during the month I did this, I hit a number of
plateaus...and eventually lost the 15 pounds that I wanted to lose..it didn't seem related to any particular issue. I would recommend eating the full 500 calories per day, this system has been well tested and I think that makes a difference. I would also do an apple day and lots of water, that seemed to help..I'm very small (five feet..) and older, so I was prepared to lose more slowly and probably less, but the plateaus were really annoying to say the least. Hang in there!
My weight loss has hit a plateau (34 days) and although I have lost 23 pounds, I am not even close to losing a pound per day. Anyway, I calculated my
calories for the first time. I have been following the handful rule with the vegetables, but I am at 425 cals for the day. Should I be eating more veggies to get closer to 500? I also workout between 45 and 90 minutes a day. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello Yochana...
Someone else ask me the same question on Mixing so I wrote up the details a little more user friendly I hope. See if this helps:
DISCARD THE LIQUID IT COMES WITH!!!
Now you dilute your own Pregnyl in a very sterile environment. You want to make the doses easy to manage. So you can give yourself the same dosage each morning.
Mixing procedure: FOR 200 IU INJECTIONS WITH A 5,000 IU AMPOULE OF PREGNYL:
You should first set out all your mixing materials.
Then wash your hands (preferably with an anti-bacterial soap).
Dry with a CLEAN towel or paper towel.
Important Tip Regarding opening the glass ampoule of hcg: Sometimes glass ampoules are a little tricky to open.
To open, cleanse the top with alcohol
Use the wrapper the alcohol wipe comes in to cover the top of the ampoule (i.e. use the inside portion of the wrapper) and snap quickly away from you. You can also use the alcohol wipe itself. This way, you won't cut yourself with the glass!
Swab the top of the 30cc bacteriostatic water vial with rubbing alcohol and the top of a new sterile GLASS vial with rubbing alcohol (using a new swab for the Glass vial).
Using a 30cc syringe - draw out 25 cc of BC water.
Replace needle.
Inject 1cc into Pregnyl ampoule to mix hcg powder (slowly down the side) DO NOT let the needle touch anything, even the hcg ampoule. If it does, replace the needle before the next step.
Inject the remaining 24cc of BC water into the new Glass vial.
Swish the liquid slowly in the hcg ampoule until it is all dissolved (Never shake it).
With a new 3cc syringe draw out the 1cc of Pregnyl from the ampoule.
Replace the needle.
Swab the Glass vial and inject the Pregnyl into the new sterile Glass vial containing the 24 cc. of BC water.
Now you have 25 doses of 1 ml each. 1 ml. = 1 cc.
You would now draw 1 cc. of the mixture into a new 3cc syringe each morning and that should give you your 200 IU Dose
Of course, always remember to swab the top of the rubber on the vial each time for your daily injections.
DO NOT TOUCH THE NEEDLE!

Subject: Re: [Hcg_support] I'm so frustrated im about to quit...plz help
I don't want to advise you incorrectly as I never had to mix amounts, only the water with the HCG..but 5000 is alot and would be used over a longer period of time. Perhaps someone else can comment who is working with 5000 and breaking it down into lower doses?
Did I mess up, or did I do it right??? I added just a little BC water to the HCG ampoule (5000 IU's) to dissolve it, then injected that into the glass vial where I had injected my 28.5 cc's of BC water...Is that correct???....I dont have 3cc syringes, though...
don't be discouraged..it's always complicated, or seems so, at the beginning! I can't give you precise quantities because I followed a bit of a different protocol, injecting 500cc every OTHER day, after the initial week but the concept is the same. I had two vials, one with water and the other with the HCG powder..I was a bit lax with all the sterility but the idea is to break the glass top on the HCG and on the water. You have the two in front of you on the counter, so to speak. then you take the larger bore, and more importantly, the longer bore needle, attach that to the syringe because you can't get to the bottom of the water vial with the tiny needle that you will use to inject yourself. So, with the longer bore needle, you draw out the water (hitting the water vial against your finger to make sure that all of the water is below the break off point) and put the water into the HCG vial. It will dissolve instantly, no mixing required. Using the same long bore needle, you draw up the mixed liquid into the syringe. You then take OFF the larger bore "service" needle, and attach the tiny one that you will use to inject. Push the syringe just to the point where there is no air in it and the liquid mixture is just about to come out and inject it. I used my stomach fat, now largely gone, and did not feel ANYTHING, quite amazing. I hope this is clear, feel free to ask any other questions..this system really works, so don't be discouraged.
Today has been utter hell for me and my mother...We tried to start Day 1 of the injections and the gorge, and found it virtually impossible to understand what we were doing...We followed the following mixing instructions, but whoever wrote them left out all kinds of information:
quote,
•Swab the top of the 30cc bacteriostatic water vial with rubbing alcohol and the top of a new sterile GLASS vial with rubbing alcohol (using a new swab for the Glass vial).
•Using a 30cc syringe - draw out 25cc of BC water.
•Replace needle.
•Inject 1cc into Pregnyl ampoule to mix hcg powder (slowly down the side) DO NOT let the needle touch anything, even the hcg ampoule. If it does, replace the needle before the next step.
•Inject 24cc of BC water into the new Glass vial.
•Swish the liquid slowly in the hcg ampoule until it is all dissolved (Never shake it).
•With a new 3cc syringe draw out the 1cc of Pregnyl.
•Replace the needle.
•Swab the Glass vial and inject the Pregnyl into the new sterile Glass vial containing the 24 cc. of BC water.
Now you have 25 doses of 1 ml each. 1 ml. = 1 cc. You would now draw 1 cc. of the mixture into a new 3cc syringe each morning and that should give you your 200 IU Dose
Of course, always remember to swab the top of the rubber on the vial each time for your daily injections.
OKAY, Firstly we never got any "3cc" syringes, and were never told we needed them...We received the big 30cc syringes (4 of them because two people are doing this protocol) with the 4 needles for them, and a LOT of 1cc little insulin syringes...
Secondly, I was reading that you inject out of the HCG ampoule...What exactly is the purpose of the Bacteriostatic water???...I am so immensely confused...
Why do the instructions say to only inject 1CC of the HCG into the vial containing the 20+ cc's of water??? Aren't you supposed to inject ALL of the HCG into the vial where u injected your water???......Well, that's eventually what I did....
Also it is almost 3PM in the afternoon here, and we've hardly gorged all day...Mom took her first shot just recently, and I guess I'm about to take mine and try to gorge as best as I can afford to today...
If anyone can break down this process into more DETAILED language, that would be tremendously extremely appreciated...Everything I'm reading on the HCG support groups and in the Databases is leaving out details.....I'm so frustrated and lost and confused right now I'm about to just give up and quit...I don't even have the right syringes, and with these 1cc syringes its taking 2 syringes to administer a 175IU dose...
Everyone, Simeons, Kevin, fellow dieters, etc. all seem to be saying inject first thing in the morning, BUT im not always up in the morning as my work schedule is erattic (I work out of the home a small business owner), and my mother who is doing the protocol with me also has to run out the door first thing in the morning and doesnt always have time in the morning to do the shots...Is it fine to inject in the evening, as long as we are regular and on time with the shots? I dont want to compromise anything, but I dont want to have to totally rework my sleep and work schedule either, but I can if absolutely necessary.
