I know with my mother, she did gain weight back once, but did maintain it the next time.... It is not something that is cheap, but my doctor doesn't condsider it...so I just wondered if there were otheres that did it as well....any more info would be greatly appreciated.... thanks for asking... diane > > Diane, > > The injections and a 500-900 calorie diet are available from Dr. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Steve >> Diane, >> The injections and a 500-900 calorie diet are available from Dr. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > What are hcg injections? Human chorionic gonadotropin, a pregnancy hormone. It's commonly used in certain infertility treatments -- for example, in preparing for an n-vitro procedure, another hormone is used to produce multiple eggs and then HCG to stimulate their maturing for collection. I'd never heard of it being used for weightloss before. But as I recall, an HCG injection made me feel like superwoman. HCG levels normally double every few days in the first 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy, and then level off and start to lower. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute."

Diane, with just 30 lbs to go, injecting some dubious hormones to lose weight is plainly crazy. You can lose that weight in a few months (say 5 months) without an incredible effort, by eating better, eating less, and exercising moderately. There are many diets that actually work, if you stick to them. In the grand scheme of things, if you lose weight, to keep it off, for the rest of your life, you have to be on a diet anyway, so the first 5 months' effort is not a big deal. Feeling like a sack of sh.t is a normal consequence of overeating and junk food abuse. (although it cound obviously have other causes) Once you stop that, you will likely feel better in a few weeks. i 223/173/180 Hi Diane, My daughter (32 Yrs Old) is on the first 45 days of this program. She has lost 40 lbs, and is very pleased. She hasn't tried Maintenence yet. I choose to try a different program, which is much less intense. Isagenix is a Nutritional Cleansing program and I have had Excellent results. So far I have lost 37 lbs and 48 inches, and I am not finished yet. If you are interested in checking out this webpage, it has success stories of people who have lost over 100 and 200 lbs. http://sharonsmythe.isagenix.com/ca/en/success_main.dhtml >My daughter has gone three >times and regained all her weight and more each time.

If she gained the weight back you should positively not do this. Here's a positive. The proven way to be healthy is to exercise and eat right. Forget anything else. Hi Diane, I don’t know what the “hcg” stuff is all about because on the Dr. Bernstein diet you get shots of vitamin B12. It’s to help restore some of the energy you’d naturally lose when you cut back on calories and it works in conjunction with the vitamin supplements they give you as well. As far as gaining back the weight, Dr. Bernstein follows up with a maintenance program that really helps you to re-educate yourself about your food consumption and habits. If you go back to old eating habits you’re bound to put the weight back on. >years ago my mother underwent these injections and was very successful at >losing over 30 lbs in a about a 3 month or so period? anyone familiar with [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >diane My husband went on the Dr Bernstein Diet, He lost 76 lbs... and gained it all back... Unfortunately, what he didn't gain back was all the lean muscle that he lost due to the low protein levels. >Hi Diane, I don’t know what the “hcg” stuff is all about because on the Dr. >Bernstein diet you get shots of vitamin B12.

I decided to try it myself. I started in May of this year and have lost 31 lbs so far. My Dr. also alternated between HCG and B-12 shots. We are given blood tests, a healthy diet to follow, and encouraged to exercise at least 3 x's per week for no less than 30 minutes. I eat chicken, fish, tons of veggies and fruit. I don't eat processed breads, but, will eat pasta on occassion. I pay 37.00 per week. I love it, it's the best thing I have ever done. Partially, the fact that I am spending the money....makes me want to stick to it. I do cheat once in a while. I'm only human. Hope this helps. >years ago my mother underwent these injections and was very successful at >losing over 30 lbs in a about a 3 month or so period? anyone familiar with [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >diane |
