Hi Jennifer,

Are you doing the injections or the under the tongue? Are you nervous about any side effects? What about the costs? Do you think the cost will be worth it?

What is your goal weight loss if you don't mind me asking, and are you planning to start a fitness routine also?

How did you decide upon the HCG diet of all the ones out there?

I guess I am asking too many questions, huh? But... inquiring minds want to know. I can't wait to hear how you are doing on it, so keep us informed.

lol, let's see if I can get all the answers on here.  I am doing the sublingual (under the tongue).  It doesn't cost much at all if you don't do it with a clinic or doctor.  You can buy the hcg yourself online and mix it yourself.  It's not difficult.  Total cost was less than $40.00 including shipping (I went in with other people at work so that we were able to split the shipping cost).  I have done about a month of research and there are minimal side effects.  What side effects have you heard?

I decided to try this diet when a few people at work were talking about it.  I'm an RN and work in a hospital.  A couple of our resident physicians had just finished the diet and had awesome results.

I started today and weigh 142.6 lbs.  I want to lose 20 lbs.  You aren't supposed to do strenuous exercise with this diet.  Walking and yoga are suggested.  After my 23-30 days (I haven't decided how long I'll do this yet), I will begin back with my exercise of weight training and would like to get back into running.

The link below is the main website for info for the hcg diet. Actually this link is for the discussion board and I added the link for newcomers who are interested in learning about it.  To the left you'll see links for Dr. Simeon's Pounds & Inches and other info.

Okay. Great. Thanks for the information. I've only heard that HCG can cause cancer later in life, but obviously since you are an RN, you would certainly know all about HCG.

What kind of side effects have you heard about? And why can't you exercise strenuously? Because I am an avid fitness freak, this diet obviously wouldn't be for me, but for others, this may be something they could consider.
