Rome on 500 calories a day? It’s the HcG way!
Filed Under hcg diet | 3 Comments
Just got back from Rome, Italy, the home of the HcG Diet research by Dr. ATW Simeons, the man who made my middle-aged body svelte again. Almost needless to say, I ate my way through the city, and came back 4 pounds heavier than before…and it was worth every sugar-filled, carb-loaded bite!
But it brings me to the question…how did those original test subjects live in Rome on only 500 calories a day? Two grissini? Who are they kidding? Even with the HcG, and the strict supervision, it had to be a real challenge.
To me, this shows the power of HcG. If they could live in Italy and not eat bread or cheese, surely you and I can follow this diet for a few weeks, in our own homes, with access to good organic ingredients and a plethora of recipes to keep us on track.
Me, personally, I don’t really enjoy cooking. I do love eating though, and saving money. So back from holiday, off to the supermarket I go. It’s surely not the same as visiting a small mercato with cheeses and meats hanging off the ceilings and the lilting language of amore in the background…but when I am on HcG, I honestly don’t care. I keep my eyes on the prize — a slim, attractive and HEALTHY body — grab my recipes, and honestly, sometimes, I surprise myself, and my hubby, by creating a delicious meal that stays within my HcG diet plan and feeds the family too.

More HcG Guru Mail
Filed Under hcg diet | 4 Comments
The postman always rings twice. (Now, that Lana Turner, I bet SHE never had to work very hard to be so skinny. But I digress.)
Lately, I’m getting more mail than ever, as HcG goes more mainstream.
A lot of the writers compliment me on my openness and my “bravery” for exposing myself here. (Silly, as one of the earliest HcG adopters in South Florida, it’s the least I can do.) Some are trying to sell themselves and their HcG products.
And some are people like you and me, asking my advice for staying on course in their HcG journey, and it’s those people who make me think, make me grateful, and get me revved up to exercise, or to exercise the new muscle that lets me say, “no thank you, I’m not hungry” and take a drink of water instead.
Several months ago, I started communicating with a woman named Ar, who, in February 2011 wrote:
Dear HcG Diet Guru – I am currently doing research on HCG, and want to know if it’s recommended that I go to a doctor, There, the HcG package is approx $1000. I was told that they would provide b12 and a diet pill along with the HcG, and that I needed to get a blood test .
If the above is the case, do you have any leads on recommending a location to go to in New York City ?
Best Regards, Ar
My response, in case you care:
Hi Ar — Here’s what I think, which is just based on what happened to me.
I always suggest that you go to a doctor and just make sure all is okay before starting any diet BUT a lot people are against HcG, so be prepared that someone might try to talk you out of trying it.
The first time I did HcG I went to a holistic doctor, but come to think of it, she never tested me or took my blood, she just basically gave me HcG and coaching. This was two years ago and no one I knew had ever heard of HcG, which is surprising since my friends and I had tried every diet known to man. So it was new and worth the money.
Now, in 2011, I don’t think you need a doctor to get HcG and vitamins; they’re easy to get online. I’ve tried a few suppliers, which I will be reviewing in my blog. There are books that give you all the info you need, and there are coaches available, people who have used it themselves and will support you in your growth. You can join a group online. I wrote and video’d and photographed my whole journey, and I am starting again this week, this time with my sister and three friends. It’s a great adventure, and I feel awesome.
I think you can get a good combo of hcg, info and support and I think you won’t need to spend more than $500. Good luck!
Anyway, we shared some emails and some info, and 6 months later, here’s the update:
Hello Robin,
I did great! I was 202, now 160-162, maintaining (prgm from March 19-April 29) — would like to lose 10 lbs on my own now. My worst side effects during the program were gas pain and constipation, but I resolved it.
I’m pretty much still hooked on the meal planning & cooking my meals for the week on Sundays. This helps tremendously.
So very thoughtful of you to ck up on me ;*),
Thank you Ar! Score one for the HcG Success Team!
More video to come soon! Thanks for checking in; please let us know how you’re doing too.

HcG Success – Lights, Camera, Weightloss!
Filed Under hcg diet | 12 Comments
Okay, this is for the people who just don’t believe all the talk about the HcG Diet. Here’s a video I did two weeks after I completed my first round of HcG. First,if you haven’t seen it, here is my “before” video. Now, completely out of chronological order, is one just two months later.
What can I add but that a video is worth more than 1000 words. Take my word for it: You CAN lose weight with the HcG diet. Many companies offer free coaching as part of their packages, and there’s lots of books and recipes to support your journey too. Just email me on HcGDietGuru@gmail.com if you need any support to get started now.
If I can do it, you can do it! Here’s where it all started.

Drops vs. Shots — Which is the Better Way to Lose Weight with HcG?
Filed Under hcg diet | 4 Comments
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!
