40 day program hcg

I weighed in at pounds — a total gain of 5 lbs. Now I begin the journey of eating just calories a day which essentially will consist of two meals lunch and dinner of just calories each. Each of these meals will consist of the following:. Lunch — 3 ounces of lean meat which may consist of one of the following: veal, lean beef, chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp.

It is important to note that no matter what combination of items you eat i. It was also recommended that I eat the same things for lunch and dinner on any particular day. I mostly ate grilled chicken and cucumbers with a touch of lemon juice. Periodically I substituted white fish and cube steak and variations in vegetable choice included spinach salads and cooked cabbage. For my fruit, I always stuck with an apple.

I drank about 3 liters a day besides about a pot of coffee and a glass of green tea daily. Sound boring? It mostly is but surprisingly, because of the HCG, I did not feel hungry prior to meals. Also when consuming these small calorie meals I felt comfortably full afterwards. As I think back now, most of my initial struggles steamed from the boredom that comes from not eating all the time. In other words I had spent a good amount of my time eating, snacking, drinking wine, etc.

For the duration that the HCG was in my body, I could not use regular lotion or use any conditioner in my hair due to the fact that the body can absorb the oils in these products which adds to calorie intake. I ended up using Corn Huskers lotion which contains no oil for my feet as I wear sandals most the time which cause my feet to get very dry.

This worked out as well if not better than the oil-based lotions I typically use. My wife sternly warned me that I can have no breath mints of any kind and that many doing the HCG diet complain of having bad breath. However, I found a solution — Starbucks sugar-free peppermint breath mints.

These are extremely small but powerful mints that contain zero calories. While I am not going to bore you with the daily details of what I ate, how much I weighted each day, etc. They say that you should count the pounds you gain after the loading phase which is why I can say I lost 42 pounds.

I feel great right now. Everyone I know says how I look so different, not only in the size of my gut but the face, legs, arms — everywhere.

I no longer get heartburn after eating certain foods or snore at night. I have about 20 more pounds I feel I need to lose and so will embark on a second but shorter phase in October where I have a period of about 4 weeks in which I will not be traveling. I must truly thank my wife, Irma, for not only discovering this diet but doing all the research on it as well as preparing all the meals.

This is a very controversial diet, especially for males, seeing that you have a hormone in you that is only found in pregnant women. It has however been tested for years and always proved to be successful. Most of the controversy will stem from telling people that you are only eating calories a day. They will be shocked not only on the little amount of food you are living on, but how healthy you appear despite that. We kept the fact that we were taking the HCG secret for some time, at least until we were confident it was working.

Want to discuss? A great story David, thank you for sharing. My guess is that your body would have really had trouble metabolizing everything and keeping you supplied with energy. I have to maintain this for 3 weeks.

After 3 weeks, I can begin to introduce carbs and sugars once again but with moderation. It is also suggested to stay away from refined products such as white bread, white rice, white pasta, etc.

Of course common sense would be to maintain a healthy diet and moderate exercise and essentially not repeat the process that caused me to gain the excess weight in the first place. However, I will do so in moderation. Furthermore, now that I am used to eating much smaller portions than before, I will try to maintain that.

You are right — if I would have tried to live on calories without the HCG, I would have not only been starving but would have become week, suffering muscle loss and would have looked unhealthy in the face and skin. My body would have pulled from my normal fat reserves for additional energy as opposed to the abnormal fat reserves in which case the abnormal fat reserves would have remained. One of the benefits I had in doing the HCG diet is that my profession requires little physical activity unless you count walking back and forth from my desk to the coffee pot.

If I had to do alot of physical labor, I would have struggled as you have very little energy restricting yourself to just calories a day. Hi, wow, congratulations on the weight loss!

Also be sure to check out this shopping list for other ingredients you will need. Thank you for all the information. Congrats David! Good luck to everyone trying this!

Thank you, David, for this site! Hi David. I am currently on day 10 of the hcg diet. It has gotten so bland. Any suggestions on how I can power through this? Do you think it will effect my results if I used organic ketchup? Did you exercise during the 40 days? I am but sometimes wonder if I am burning too many calories about What do you think?

Liz — I substituted chicken breast, cube steak, and veal and seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and sometimes cayenne pepper. I also substituted vegetables between cucumbers with lemon juice, raw spinach with red wine vinegar and cooked cabbage. I also did hardly any exercise. A bit a swimming each day but that was the extent of my exercise activities.

If you have already lost almost 10 pounds in 10 days, you are doing great. Keep going and just take one day at a time. Best of luck to you. How did you know how many ounces of vegetables to have. Thanks for your time and wish me luck! K — I will try to get my wife to stop by here to better respond to your question. I will say that the amount of vegetables you eat will depend on your choice of meat.

For example if you eat cube steak, it has more calories than chicken so you would reduce your vegetable count. Also, spinach has less calories than say tomatoes. Hopefully she will be by soon to provide better information. In fact, I am trying to get her to write a post on how she made her HCG recipe.

Congratulations David!! I am a fellow HCG protocol follower. I started with a short round 25 injections due to a planned vacation I finished up my no sugar no starches the day we left. I did have a slight weight gain due to all the junk food on vacation. Good luck with all you do this is a great article for all who are curious about HCG. Hi David, Congrats.

I will be starting the 43 day protocol tomorrow. You have several posters worried about the blandness of their food. I did 4 weeks of internet research before deciding to do this diet. If they google HCG diet recipes, there are tons of options. You can bake apples with cinnamon and stevia. You can crush the grissini breadsticks along with garlic powder to make a breading.

You can also roll onion rings in 1T of milk, coat in the breading and bake for onion rings. I have assembled all of my seasonings on the counter so I know what I can work with. I have also measured out, bagged and frozen 2 weeks worth of lean ground beef, sirloin and chicken breast for ease.

I have even bought all of the oil free soaps, shampoos and deodorants to maximize my loss as I am looking to lose 40 pounds as well. Again, great job!! Diane and Gloria — Thanks so much for sharing your stories of success.

It is always good to know that lots of people or using this diet and seeing amazing results. I start a second round of 23 days next Monday to lose the additional 20 or so pounds I need to get to my goal weight. Some may find some of these ingredients objectionable, but there are only 5 cals in 1 tablespoon, and I have found as far as I can tell that it does not affect my loss thus far. I just put a bit on a meatloaf that I make of lean burger, lots of onions and veggies, and crushed melba toasts.

I sometimes add some ketchup to the loaf itself. Hope that helps — and great, simple, site, David! Tastes great! Can you split the apple in half and have half in apple in the morning, the other half at lunch and then an orange at dinner. As long as you are within the calories?

Michelle — Yes you can. You can also have your breadstick in the morning if you are hungry instead of having it at lunch. I have read contraversy on lip products, most say chapstick is not ok, buy carmex is ok? The diet wants those on ti to stay away from lotions as the body can absorb those and add to calorie count. I am curious about the colodial silver. Why are you taking this? Anytime I hear about colodial silver, I think of the man that took so much he turned blue…seriously.

How do you mix the sublingual formula? You say the recipe is 13mil liquid B12, 2 mil collodial silver, iu not cc surely? What amount do you take each day and how often? I have seen one formula that uses vodka to mix the HCG. It is all so confusing I found the Gloria video difficult to follow and I would appreciate it if you could say what you did exactly. I understand the diet and the theory but am interested in the sublingual becuse wish to avoid injections.

Thanks for your help! As far as how much we tool each day, I believe it was 0. Melissa — You are getting way beyond my knowledge of this. As I said in original post, it was my wife who did all the research, bought the ingredients and mixed the solution. Therefore when you get into technical questions about the formula, I am not going to be of much help. David It would be great if you could ask your wife how she mixed the solution and what she used as a sublingual formula.

If you could write it down on the blog that would be fantastic. Then how much of that solution you took each day—ie if it was. Your achievement was so outstanding that you inspire all the newbies to HCG!

Or were you able to do a second 43 day protocol with less time out? First 3 weeks I stuck to a South Beach type of diet — no sugars or proteins and thereafter ate what I wanted in moderation of course and trying to avoid enriched wheat products i.

I will be going on one final phase after new year to shed about more pounds to get to by ideal weight and then should be done with it forever. Many thanks David for the information! Or did you take it every day? It is not clear on your blog. I am new to the HCG protocol and will start once all the products arrive. This has been a very informative site and I will share it with family and friends.

I am now ending day 5 or 7 if load days are included. As of this evening I weigh in at Have even forgotten to eat my fruit or melba toast on several occasions. I have a bad thyroid disorder and i have lost so much puffiness mostly around my face and eyes.

I am a bit scared that I have lost so much so quickly but am at the same time thrilled. I am taking the sub-lingual method and currently taking 1cc per day divided into 3 doses of. Are there any side effects to losing too much too quickly?

Thank you. Christine I seem to be experiencing the same weight loss as you. I am losing about an average of 3lb a day I am now on day 6 and have lost 14lbs. I am a bit scared to be honest with you. I am very strict and only eating 3 oz of chicken or shrimp. No breadstick or Melba toast.

I got my hcg from a local doctor. She is also doing hcg but when we spoke she had only lost 9lbs in 10 days. Any advice? I will post again once I speak with her about the weight loss for this week.

Maybe its nothing and the weight loss will fall to half a pound or 1 lb daily soon, who knows? Great Info site!!! David what happen to your progress. The site was like reading a book… I want to know what happen. David, great site. Just went back on this and am more confused than ever. We both live in the same area, and I am working with a company in Scottsdale. It seems they do things a little different, like5 -6 small meals a day, breaking up the meals hours between each one.

They feel a man of pounds and a women of would not be on the same caloric intake. What is your feedback on this. Plus I am doing grams and hate it. I work better in ounces. Any ideas? Should I continue doing what they have shared? It is a bit different than the book; also, balsamic v is not good due to sugar nor is Salmon and Tuna of which I did the first time around.

Is that exceptable? Lastly, this place said you can eat as many veggies as you want, not portion control….?????

In fact I believe the book goes so far as to say that a lb person has more abnormal fat reserves to burn energy off of than a lighter person. The main idea of the low calorie diet while taking HCG is that the diet provides just enough for a person to maintain a healthy physique and not be hungry and when the body burns the calorie intake, it will then pull from the abnormal fat reserves — thus causing one to lose weight.

I also avoided Salmon and Tuna and when eating fish, stuck to what is suggested on the list. Finally, you say your consultant says to eat as many veggies as you want but in reality the more you eat, the more calories you intake.

I am a female and I lost 33 pounds in forty days on the hCG diet. I flubbed up a bit some days, but each meal is a chance to get back on the diet. I was amazed by my progress. Before the hCG diet, I had been trying everything I could find or create, starvation, fasting, detox diets, and of course, high fat, high protein, low fat, low protein, vegetarian, and plain old balanced low calories to no avail. I finally found the hCG diet, researched Dr.

I found a clinic offering the protocol and started. After I stopped the diet, the weight stayed off. It has been seven months of no weight gain. I love wearing my size 6 wardrobe! If middle age has made anyone feel like giving up on ever being slender, hCG works!

Try it! David, I can not thank you enough for the information you have shared. I do not want to got with the injections and thrilled to hear you can take Sub-lingual. Could you please ask your wife to clarify the dose. Thank You So Much!!!! David, congrats and Thanks for sharing your experience. Yours pretty much sums up mine, almost to a T, only that I lost 53lbs in 45 days.

I do believe that the key to making this successful is staying with the protocol, and not experimenting or adding foods or other substances to it. I also went with sublingual dosing. The entire time during the diet, I did not exercise, but worked hard, physically, 6 days a week. Best wishes to you and all that read this! This is great! I have tried 5 million diets and I exercise regularly and nothing compares to this!

I weigh and it is staring to come off! Thanks for your encouragement. I have been on the sublingual HCG for 30 days and lost 24 pounds so far, and I know I would have lost more if I had not gone off the diet for a couple of meals several times.

I sort of got bored and felt like I am loosing my momentum with staying with the program. I drank diet soda which seems to stimulate your appetite and I take nibbles of things if I really crave that food so this has really slowed down my weight loss.

Then, I added one egg in the morning with salsa which seems to help me since I always make breakfast for my husband and sit down with him. I need to loose another 40 or 50 lbs. Can you tell me if this will work or do I really have to quit taking it when I run out of my last batch? Thank you and God Bless You.

Mary I love your idea about starting a web site for recipes. David, I am at the close of day 4 and have followed the diet very strictly. I went for an hour walk outside today and it was difficult for me. Do you know why? I take this walk all the time and just didnt have any energy today. Could you and your wife share some recipes? That being said, I think most of my struggle, at least for the first week revolved around simply breaking the habit of eating all the time i.

However after a week, it was quite the norm and the habit of just eating something to eat was pretty much gone. Thank you for such a helpful blog. I have been reading every thing i can about the protocol. However, i am unable to find anything regarding exercise. I did find tht all massages are discouraged but i find nothing about exercise. A must? I love your blog. One question, did you eat any other kind of steak other than cube and how often?

David- Did you ever eat salads with tomatoes, cukes, onions etc.? Did you mix your vegetables? Also, did you ever have eggs or fat free cottage cheese? Did you eat all organic? Hard to find organic meats, chicken, some fruits, but no grapefruit in my area?

Thanks for responding to my last question. Also no eggs and cottage cheese I hate. I am on my 2nd week using HCG shots. I dropped 10 lbs within the first 7 days. Now it seems like I am at a stand still. Although my inches have been dropping, my weight just seems to have stopped.

I am hoping that it is my body adjusting to the inch loss. I feel I am strict with the diet, but some days I feel very constipated and I think that is playing a role in my weight loss not going as fast. Any suggestions on how to get this thing moving again. Did you experience days where your weight loss stopped and than it started again after a few days? Curious if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks again, your site is great! I am stuck! I even cut out melba toast and the extra fruit.

Help me, too!! I only have a week left and want to make it count! My weight was stuck for about days. I decided to drink tons more than I had been and take a colon cleanse for a couple of days. It worked and my weight started to move again. I think the body has to catch up in inch loss to the large amount of weight lost.

My question now is, on the paper work I received it talked about loading. Do you only load once? Or do you load after every time you take a break and start again on the program? No where in my paperwork from the Doctor does it talk about having to do it more than once. I am using homeopathic HCG drops 3 times a day.

I am on day five and have lost 7 pounds. It comes premixed so all I have to do is count out 10 drops and hold it under my tongue for 2 minutes. I am following the same diet that has been mentioned above. I am afraid my doc that I get my hcg from is gonna cut me off if I gain so I hopw I get it off by Friday a my apt!!! Wow, that sucks to be under that kind of microscope. My nurse practitioner gave me the prescription and refills, the plan and wished me luck.

My kind of lady for sure! What was wonderful is when I went to fill the prescription and my insurance paid for it!

Your doing great for 11 lbs in 2 weeks. Keep up the great job! Stay on track and you will lose it no problem. Most people never realized I was that fat because of my height. I have only been taking half of the recommended dosage and my meals have been more like calories. Do you think if I increase my dosage or lessen my calorie intake that I will lose quicker?

Hopefully I can post a wonderful experience like yours in a month or so…. I am in a bit of a predicament. I misunderstood the instructions and did not do the loading days.

I am now on day 4 and have not lost any weight. Should I start over or keep at it. Has anyone ever done this? I was so excited and so determined.

I have been very hungry, but grabbed water and have been very strict. What should I do? So thankful dor your sight and congrats to you! Give me some advice on how to stay the course with this thing! I had a gastric bypass 5 years ago. Due to a change in birth control 14 months ago, I gained 17 lbs.

I have tried everything to lose this extra weight. I had a little bit of trouble eating on my load days due to stomach pains getting checked on Monday for gallstones. Today is my first day of the VLCD. I came up with a great recipe! I used my mandolin slicer to cut up some cucumber and red onion. After a good shaking, I let it all marinate for a few hours.

This was wonderful!!!! Is there any limit to the amount of Stevia you can use and still be successful. By realigning our bodies massage can go a long way to repairing our generally damaged postures.

I am going to the grocery store after work today to purchase VLCD diet friendly foods. Not really sure where to purchase Stevia. I hope this diet works for me. I am doing homeopathic drops that I got from a family physician. I plan to make a blog page of my own to inspire others.

It has no calories, there are no known side effect, all natural, and a Zero on the glycemic index. I got the vanilla creame stevia. I am back on the HCG sublingual drops again after a three month break. I still had more to loose and wanted to see how I would do after I stopped. I lost 35 lbs. Does anyone know how long you can use HCG? I buy HCG online and mix one I.

I am having one egg in the morning, cooked in a non-stick pan with a little Pam and I put a small spoon of salsa on it. It really helps keep me from getting too hungry. Can you still have energy needed to do cardio, and weight training weekly. Does it effect hormone levels in men. I read the Dr. Simeon ebook. Or on your own?

Seems like the injections would work best? Where are you ordering the Hcg from? Or is this a scam or fake or a reality? Does this stuff really work? If so, how do you get one? Is a doctor suppervising or not? Can I skip[ the doctor visits? As for working out, it is ok to do weight resistance training, but no cardio. As soon as your heart gets pounding, your body will try to reserve every calorie.

She is on her first week and has lost I just finished my 3 weeks and am now onto Phase 3 maintenance. I started at , and am now at I was hoping to lose 5 more lbs, but I feel great at this size.

If I decided to do another short round in the future, I will definately do the drops. Just a yummy suggestion. I have kept them for over a week now no browning and just as yummy. I think that the George foreman grill I had tucked away for a year is a godsend and I am grilling most of my meats on it.

My favorite so far is Talapia. No on day 4 of the real deal and I have lost 7lbs. I cook for my hobby so I will be trying out some interesting combos.

I would love recipes for P1 if anyone has them. Also just to re-check….. We are doing IM injections and doing. Summer Apples, especially granny smiths, with lemon have been a favorite of mine for a long time. I even add a little salt sometimes, but then again I like salt on most fruits.

If you are a fan of hot sauce, thats good on apples too. I live here in AZ so we put hot sauce on everything. I have a great salad dressing made w.
