Drops vs. Shots — Which is the Better Way to Lose Weight with HcG?
Filed Under hcg diet | 4 Comments
Don't worry, it won't hurt a bit!
People often ask me about whether it’s better to use shots or drops for the most efficient weightloss with HcG. I have done both, and I prefer the shots — I think they’re stronger, and I lose weight faster…plus, you only have to do it once a day, as opposed to three times, so it’s less to remember.
But people have a funny reaction to the concept of shooting themselves with a needle, so today, without further ado, I give you a close up view of the entire process.
It’s easy, it doesn’t really hurt, and you would do it if your life depended on it without a second thought, like diabetics do. And guess what? Your life DOES depend on it. A few weeks of HcG, my blood pressure went down, and the only thing that was hurting was my wallet, when I had to buy some new clothes for my new svelte body!

Even Dr. Oz doesn't know EVERYTHING!
Funny thing, on the same day that the papers reported the astronomical rises in obesity in our country, the same paper published a syndicated column on health by Dr. Mehmet Oz, one of the country’s most well known and respected physicians. The headline: The HcG Diet is Risky. Subhead: There are healthier ways to lose weight. I agree — eat less and move more always is best — if you can stick to it. Problem is, as we know, it’s not easy, and for some people, not really doable. But risky? Maybe, although compared to obesity, which is riskier?
In his column, Dr. Oz explains the HcG diet, talks about the controversial 2007 HcG book by Kevin Trudeau, and then gets down to the “risks”. He says that, like with any hormone treatment, this one has health risks — a woman MAY develop cysts or blood clots, and with prolonged use, men MAY have long term consequences.
Well, what about the risks of obesity? We all know that list — most of us with food issues have had it drummed into us for years. I will tell you that, after losing the big 5-0, I was able to reduce my blood pressure meds from three a day to one. My risk of a heart attack or stroke went down significantly. I MAY live longer. Now that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

Chubby Little Cookie People -- not us any more!
I’m a little embarrassed to say that the way I’ve been eating for the past few days would have any neutral observer think I was trying to gain weight! I am an admitted Cookie Monster, and Holiday Cookies are my drug of choice. But despite the delicious options, I still can’t eat like I used to. Two or three, maybe four cookies, and every morning when I weigh myself — a necessity for keeping the weight off — that darn scale stays just about the same! It takes A LOT of serious food abuse to put the weight back on. And if you start to actually gain, well, one of the beauty things about HcG is that you can go back on for a few weeks, before it gets out of hand. I call it willpower in a bottle.
The HcG diet has been for sure the answer to my prayers. Here’s a little video from two years ago March, after my first full month on my HcG diet journey. I hope it inspires you.
Eat your fill now, and enjoy! Then be sure to click on one of these little squares around this post, and prepare to diet.

Eat what you want when you're sick -- HcG will help you lose weight later!
I’ve been flirting with the flu for about 10 days now, and it’s so easy for me to play the sick card and eat whatever I want to make me feel better. But again, I remember how good it feels to be thin, and I stop myself…do I really want that muffin, those cookies, that cake (yes, I’ve somehow managed to drag myself out of bed and bake)? And sometimes, the answer is yes. So I eat it, and enjoy it, and weigh myself every morning, and wonder how those 3 pounds crept on — must have been while I was sleeping!
So, how do you keep the weight off? We all know that’s the hardest part of dieting, and when you have lost the weight with HcG, sorry, the urge to eat, although much less and with different foods, is still there. The beauty of it is that 1) the new HcG habits, like eating less, eating better and daily weigh-in, keep that urge in check, and 2) there is an easy way to get it off (an apple day, will talk more about that later) and finally, 3) it’s really easy to go back on the HcG for a few weeks post-illness and after the holidays, and get the weight off before it all comes back, no willpower required!
So eat, drink, be sick, feel sorry for yourself if you have to, but make the commitment to easily knock those pounds off with a three week round of HcG after the holidays! For me, those maintenance bouts of HcG are such a relief — no urge to eat, simple menus without much to plan, choose or decide, and the knowledge that the weight will be gone in just a few days!
For a look back at the beginning of my journey, click here. And enjoy your holidays, eat whatever you want, and plan to lose weight again by Valentine’s Day with the HcG diet.

Late last night, I tried on a dress that I bought at my very skinniest, the summer before last. It fit me for about 20 minutes back then, and it doesn’t really fit now, but it DOES close! I will take a picture later and post it here, to show you that, almost two years after my first HcG shot, I’m still almost the same size.
Maybe in my next life!
So here’s what I’ve learned about weight loss in general: After 6 to 12 months at the new, lower weight, the body fat redistributes and guess what? You’re back in the exact same shape as you were, just smaller! Which is a good thing, actually. Your face (and for women, your boobies) fill out and you look better in all the right places. What’s funny is that most people (me included of course) regain weight so quickly that it never gets to that point. I think it’s because when you lose weight, people always tell you that you’re too thin, (that, and jealousy, of course), and that is often all we need to hear or see to start eating again. I know that my face looks better when it’s a little fuller but I made the choice that I’d rather be skinny and flabby than fat and flabby.
Now, the good news: WIth HcG, the weight that comes off, first and always, is the adipose, or bad, fat that’s not doing you any good. Your face looks thinner but not drawn, and the self-regulating property of HcG only targets that fat, and stops working when it’s all gone. And, if you’re really in great shape, with just some fat, for instance, saddlebags, HcG will target just those spots!
So here’s the dirt: In all the HcG info I’ve read and heard, no one talks about keeping the weight off, except the owner of the office which first introduced me to HcG. He told me that he eats everything he wants and never gains weight back. What he didn’t say was that he was never fat to begin with. He used the HcG to lose the extra 10 or 15 pounds that life had added to his waistline over the last 10 or 15 years, and that he was not an eater like I was.
The truth is, it’s not magic, and if you start eating like you used to, you’re gonna get fat again. Now, I never got my old appetite back, and I eat completely differently now than I used to. I rarely eat bread, unless it’s super delicious, or white potatoes or pasta, and if I eat a cookie, I usually can stop at one or maybe two, not a whole box. But that weight continues to chase me, and a few times since the initial weight loss, it’s crept back up. Uh oh, suddenly I’m back up almost ten pounds! What to do, what to do?
Back on the H (my heroin!) for a few weeks. And while I do admit that it’s a little harder after the first time, and so I wasn’t quite as strict as I had been, the weight came right off.
So go wild when you have to; it is the holidays, after all. And this year, make a New Year’s Resolution that you can really stick to!
