Testimonial for the Diet Plan:
"I am 43 pounds lighter and have maintained my weight loss for 18 days past my last shot day, with almost no cravings, almost no hunger and all in all have been eating high amounts of fats and proteins with no gain.
I am in the "stabilizing phase" what some of us call Phase 3. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and have never felt better as during this protocol. I guess you could attribute this to not having sugar in my diet, but I still drink very STRONG coffee. : )
The biggest difference between this protocol and most diets I have tried, is that I have absolutely NO cravings while I eat 500 calories a day. It is amazing! I have lost before on other diets but never have I been able to keep it off past the first 7 days. I would normally start to gain again ...this time around I have been eating about 2000 (or more alot of days : ) and I have maintained well within my 2 pounds up or down. I am getting ready to go into the second round of the 2nd phase (shots) and am looking forward to losing the remaining 35-40 pounds.
The biggest change that I have seen in myself and others on the diet is that I am at 160 pounds and I am in a size 10 this morning!! I can honestly say that when I have lost on other plans, Weight Watchers, Body for Life, Atkins, cabbage soup, and so on and so on, I have never lost my stomach and hips. Although I had weight loss on all those diets (not large amounts of weight), I would always have my belly still : (
I can only say that there is no way for this to be a "all in your
mind" protocol. When the protocol is done as stated, HCG shots, 500 cal with only the foods listed by Dr S, and then with the follow up of the stabilizing of the weight and then on to the final part, living with mostly alive foods and good fats and proteins, most will succeed. I think that with all the success I have seen on this diet, with those that treat this as a "protocol" I am convinced that this is the one "diet" I have ever done that is really working and will keep me healthy for years to come.
I know from those that have tried this 500 cal diet (my aunt with OA) without the HCG may lose alot of weight as the 500 calories puts you into ketosis of course, BUT the biggest difference is, where we each have lost our pounds! She had to remain on her very strict diet for the duration to maintain and was feeling very weak. I on the other hand went into a lower size pants (was a 18-20) now a a size 10-12!
I am eating, all meats, dairy, fruits (all kinds) and a huge amount of veggies. And I have less Fibro pain, more energy and my mind is even sharper, the last could be because all the crap is out of my system : )
Here are a few more differences between someone on the 500-700 calorie diet without the HCG and someone who is on the 500 calorie diet with the HCG. Skin!! I saw what the low cal diet without the HCG did to my relative's skin ...and then I get to see what the diet does with the HCG!!! My skin is not sagging!! I mean it is amazing that my skin is not hanging down like the last time I lost weight!!! My tummy skin is able to be pulled in without any sagging on the legs : )
And my skin is looking healthy, not pale and so on ...
Anyway that is my experience on HCG Dr S Protocol. I guess you
just have to read and have faith as we have all seen it working
differently than any diet we have tried ....
p.s one more thing. I started this protocol with HCG and 500 calories at the same time as my friend started at the same clinic (MD Diets). She went on the 1 shot of B complex a week and their special diet and I did the one shot a day of the HCG and the 500 cal diet ...I have lost 2x the amount of weight as she has, both being on a diet at the same time. We both have lost that weight in different area of our bodies as well. I just thought I would add that in : ) it is the only clinical info I have for ya : )"
And another testimonial to the diet:
"Nearly three years ago, I gained 80 lbs during a very stressful time. In only about 6 months, I packed on all of the weight. I was under alot of stress and was nauseated and vomited frequently, yet I still gained the weight. For the last 3 years, I have been on a number of diets, Atkins, WeightWatchers, Bob Greene, Ultra Metabolism, Dr. Mercola's diet, Jenny Craig. I also have been doing 1 hour of kick boxing several times week (Billy Blanks, Turbo Jam, PO90) along with walking 5 miles several times a week. I also have used HydroxyCut, Accelis, Hoodia, and so many others I can't remember.
I am a respiratory therapist and walk around doing treatments for 12-hr shifts. I am only 5'3 and weighed 210 lbs and was a tight size 18. I did each diet for at least 1 month or longer with little or no weight loss. As you can see, I am a very active person. People that I worked out with were losing weight. I, on the other hand, continued to have a 48-inch waist. After 3 years of struggling, the disappointments and heartbreak of diet after diet, I had finally given up. I was so depressed. Try to imagine working so hard at something for 3 years and enduring failure after failure.
Well, today September 25, I weigh 174 and I am size 12. I lost 11 inches off my waist since June 6. I have people around me doing this protocol now, just because my scrubs are baggy. It wasn't any scientific paper that convinced them to do it. It was seeing the amazing transformation that I went through and continue to go through that convinced them that hCG does work. I have done low cal diets in the past and never lost weight that was so visible and dramatic. I usually lost the hair on my head, my skin became pasty and sallow and I had dark circles under my eyes and had hanging skin and lost all my muscle mass, I felt terrible. Not this time! My hair is thick, shiny, my nails are growing like crazy, I have energy and feel great. I still have muscle, skin is tight."
And one more testimonial to the diet:
“Since I've been aware of this HCG Protocol and have almost completed it, I see the miracles that it works with your weight and performing a metabolic recovery, I find myself getting really agitated/annoyed when someone tries to tell me and others that diet and exercise is the only way to lose weight and keep it off. There have been countless times when people have asked me about a method to lose weight that’s the most effective. Of course I would recommend the HCG Protocol, I would NEVER, and I mean NEVER tell a person to do diet and exercise as a weight loss method.
Then you have others that'll intervene and tell me that the Dr. Simeons protocol is a joke and that it's really unhealthy to lose weight this way, especially a lb. a day. People who've never heard of it until I mentioned it, by the way. You break down the whole process to them of how and why the weight is lost so fast and the benefits that comesfrom the treatment AFTERWARDS when it comes to keeping it off. They still have nothing but negative things to say. It just trips me out how people think that diet and exercise is the only way to lose weight and keep it off. It's a torturous and VERY depriving lifestyle when you try to keep weight off from dieting. I've done it so I know.
Let’s not mention the things that this protocol does that diet and exercise doesn’t even touch. Losing problem area fats, low hunger, fast results, resetting of the hypothalamus gland, raising your metabolism sky high, etc. I’m almost finished with this protocol and (4 days left until Phase 4), and I've never seen anything like this on any weight loss method I've used in the past. No counting calories, no superhuman willpower to keep from eating, low hunger, constant results, etc.
My thing is...if diet and exercise is the only way to lose weight and the real "solution," then why does the obesity rate continue to rise annually? Even though there's more people on diets and buying more exercise equipment more and more each year. Let’s be real. I get frustrated, annoyed and agitated when people act like this is the solution and don’t want to hear of anything else, even though it has never worked for them. I've heard countless stories from people about how they work 5 hours a day in the gym, eating rabbit food and they still don’t lose weight. And others have the same story, except for they do, in fact, lose weight but gain it right back afterwards faster than they lost it, plus more. Not to mention how slow they lost it. Which is frustrating.
For anyone that’s curious about this method of weight loss. THIS IS THE SOLUTION! You'll never need another diet in your life once you finish this! Exercise is always good for your body, whether you’re trying to lose weight or not. It’s always recommended for good overall health but it's not a weight loss solution. Let me end by saying this. For the people that doubt this protocol, stay fat for the rest of your lives and miserable from yo-yo dieting and depriving yourselves to keep the weight off. Keep losing weight and gaining it right back. But for those that are tired of dieting and exercising only to find disappointment, and are smart enough go through this protocol...we’ll enjoy living normal lives as slim people that can fully enjoy the foods that we love without constantly thinking about our weight. Now you choose...”
