hCG Diet – My Parents Lost Over 100 Pounds!

My parents are on their 2nd course, or 2nd round of hCG injections. On their 1st course, they lost a lot of weight. The bulk of their weight loss happened in a few weeks.

Next week will be the end of the 2nd course. My dad lost 55 pounds! It is so amazing what the hCG Diet can do for those who are overweight. My mother lost 48 pounds. They do have a few days to go. I think they will drop a few more pounds by then.

They did slip up this weekend. I feel bad for them, as they went out for dinner (which is asking for trouble, as the hCG Diet does not allow for this) and they cheated! I think they had good intentions, but they ended up eating a few items that were not on the diet.

hCG Diet Does Not Allow For Cheating!

You really need to stick to the game plan. If you stray, it is hard to get back on track. Just like my parents, you also will stall out if you do not stay to the diet in a strict way. They went to Chevy’s and my dad had the Sante Fe Salad, which was about 800 calories (about 300 calories over what he can have in an entire day!). He also put down a light beer… LOL! On top of that he ate a few chips….

My mother did better than him, she had a small cup of tortilla chicken soup. She had them leave the tortilla strips out, so she did not get those carbs. But, that soup is not allowed on the hCG Diet. They both violated it. My dad was worse that my mom, but they both cheated.

If You Cheat – You Can Get Back On Track With The hCG Diet

They are back on track today. I dropped by, and they are eating right. If you stray, all you need to do is get right back onto the diet. It doesn’t take much, but a little will power to eat right. They are going to watch their calories today, and they will be back to losing weight by tomorrow.

Stay tuned! I will be back with more updates on my families hCG Diet journey!

Where Did The hCG Diet Protocol Come From?

The original hCG diet protocol was created by British endocrinologist name Albert Simeons. Back in the 50′s, Simeons was studying some pregnant women in India who had calorie deficient diets as well as some boys who had a rare pituitary disorder.

In one of his tests, he gave them human chorionic gonadotrophin or hCG as it is referred to today. He noticed that the hCG helped his patients retain lean muscle mass while shedding fat.

Simeons found the ultimate weight loss diet – The hCG diet – By accident…

Simeons also noticed that it curbed the appetite of those on hCG. Their appetites were suppressed. That is where the real weight loss comes in. After he put this all together, he put out a book called Pounds & Inches, where he recommends a low-calorie diet in conjunction with human chorionic gonadotrophin or hCG.

The hCG Diet is using human chorionic gonadotrophin in conjunction with a low-calorie diet

That is the basic history of the HCG diet. You do need to understand that there are some who think it is dangerous or not effective. Why would they say such things?

The Journal of the American Medical Association and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition both say that the diet is not safe and it is not effective as a diet. Which is strange, due to a number of reasons. My parents lost weight on the injections and I lost weight on the drops.

The reason they do not put the “safe” or “not effective as a weight loss treatment” is because they have not studied it. They also have not done enough tests on it. If and when that ever comes, then they can finally list the benefits and risks (if any). I am sure there are some risks. Since when does anything come risk free?

Thanks for reading the history of the hCG Diet Protocol!
