UUmmm. "Anyone can lose weight on 500 calories a day." No they can't. I have had several serious health problems over the last 12 years. Hormonal imbalance and such as well as a condition that didn't allow me to eat for several weeks at a time. I was always thin. Over the last 7 years I've gained on average 5 lbs a year, all the while gradually cutting out different things like soda, sugar, fats, carbs..- going to the gym 3-4 days a week. Doing all these things and never lost weight. In desperation several times I fasted for a couple of weeks at a time---still gained weight. Then I tried an 800 calorie a day diet --you guessed it, still gained weight. On HCG ,while actually getting full from the 4oz protien and 2 cups of veggies per meal, I lost on average a pound a day. Over the 23 day course I lost 15 lbs -some days didn't lose due to hormonal changes. I've been off the diet for 6 weeks now and haven't gained a pound back while eating more than I used to. This diet (if you take it seriously) can change your lifestyle. I used to hate eggs and loved bread and sweets. Now I have a small omelete with veggies every morning and don't miss the bread and sugar at all. Matter of fact I tasted some icing off a cake and it tasted funny to me! Seeing fast progress is a terrific way to stay motivated. And I had my body fat tested at the beginning, it dropped a lot. but muscle tone (according to my trainer) appearst to be unchanged!

I cook with a fair bit of salt, but don't eat many processed foods - so I figure I am balancing things out enough without counting. This definitely supports my theory of eating! Very interesting!

I can't believe that the HCG diet is being heralded as some new discovery (well, I can believe it actually!) I did this diet back in 1975 when it first came out. I lost about 40 pounds because anyone can lose weight on 500 calories a day. The injections are just a placebo.

But I never learnt how to eat sensibly, or how to keep the weight off. You guessed it - I gained back all the weight and then some.

It's sad that desperate people are still being scammed 36 years later.

how to lose calories fast — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:46:19 -0000

People have been looking for the magic pill that will magically make them lose weight. HCG looks like the closest thing to that these days. Personally, injecting myself to lose weight doesn't appeal to me, nor the price tag.

Yummy! I like almost all the types of food that people prepared from the potatoes. And the above dish will be very tasty with tomato ketchup. :)
