I use this medication for weightloss and it works. You just have to stick to your diet along with this medication (HCG)and you will get the results you are looking for.

I have been taking the Homeopathic drops for five days and lost three points. However, I'm afraid of what I'm taking because it contains.."fat metabolizer in potencies of 3x to 60x in a colloidal mineral water base. I wanted to ask WebMD about it, but nothing comes up. Does anyone know if colloidal mineral water base is dangerous/toxic. I have read about it and it doesn't seem positive. Looking for help.

I am just starting HCG. I have 15-20lbs to lose. I did the 2 loading days and on the 3rd day I lost 2.8lbs!! I was urinating continually which is very good. I am NOT hungry and very surprised at that. No side effects, but will keep you updated after a week. So far this has been amazing. I waited a year to do it because I thought it was a crazy diet but it works and just because we don't understand it on a cellular level doesn't me we should say it doesn't work...well so far anyways, I'm very hopeful.Read More Read Less

I am in a group of about 8 women who are using this for weight loss, we follow Dr. Simeons protocol to the letter. out of 8 of us only 1 woman could not follow the diet and had headaches, the rest of us are losing 1/2 lb to a lb a day. I am on my 2nd round I lost 30 lb in 40 days. We all can vouche that if you read Pounds and Inches, and follow it to the letter, this works!

I am on the second round with this program and the results are great. Just need to be careful where you get your product from. I use the one with the Rx.

I am in my third week of this diet. I have lost just over 30+ lbs. and my wife is down 20+. I have had no side effects and do not have any hunger or any of the negative issues mentioned. I walk several miles every other day and have plenty of energy. My mood is excellent and I feel great. I did this plan as part of the HCG diet at Green Valley Spa in Utah. It is supervised by several MD's and medical staff. I know many people want to comment on the 'safety' of this diet, however, if you haven't tried it you really can't comment. Your body has PLENTY of energy stored in the form of fat. The proper meals on the plan are nutritious and tasty and give you everything to help you lose. The 500 calories are more than enough to fuel your activities and the rest comes from stored fat. Just because the treatment hasn't been blessed by the FDA doesn't mean that it isn't safe or effective. If anyone needs serious weight loss, I highly recommend this program. P.S. I use the drops, they work just as well as the shots.Read More Read Less

I have taken sublingual HCG for weight loss for only 1 week, and I have easily lost weight. I wish WebMD would explain why it says it is not recommended for weight loss. It does cause the weight to drop off with the calorie restriction.

I have been taking this drug orally since Nov.32,2009. I have lost 34 ponds with it. I know WebMD has said it shouldn't be used for weight loss but my physician has prescribed it for my weight and it has worked remarkablly well. I feel great and have more energy to do the things I love. Why not take it?????/

I started using it and lost some weight but after a few days I started getting ichy and blotchy. I then developed full blown hives. I stopped using it when that happened. I'm very disappointed that I turned out to be allergic to it. I'm told that is pretty rare. It seems to work great for others.

I have been on hcg injectons for weight loss. I am unsure of what will happen when i discontinue use, as far as gaining the weight back (i've read the other posted reviews). But, this drug has been wonderful for me! I have went from a size 18 to a size 11/12 in a month's time! I have to admit, I didnt follow the diet very well, but i tried to stay as compliant as i could with it. I have lost a total of 30 pounds with it. I can definitely notice the weight loss, as can my coworkers. I would definitely recommend this drug. I also would like to mention, I did not experience any side effects!Read More Read Less

I have used the HCG injections for weight loss. This is my second round of shots. I have lost 26lbs. I'm very please with my results. However, it is very important in using this diet protcol that you also get the book called, HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide. This will ensure sucess. You need to read this book so that you don't make big mistakes eating items that are not on the list. This book explains the menu of the 500 calorie meals,(what can be eaten) then six weeks maintenance (adding the foods back into your diet). Also, after the last injection, the next 3 days you can have the 500 calories. Then on the 4th day start adding foods back into your diet. But always check the list in the book. So you don't chose the wrong foods hence gain weight. This information also applies to the drop of HCG. Best of luck.Read More Read Less

I have done two rounds of the oral drops with HCG and went from 142 to 126 losing 1 lb. per day. I did gain the weight back yet didn't follow through with the stabilization phase which most don't know about. You must also eat a specialized diet while taking the drops. My issue hasn't been gaining the weight back I really could care less. My issue is I have been anxious and restless. I think it caused a severe hormone imbalance before taking the HCG I did have an ovarian cyst which I was told didn't matter. Read More Read Less

Although it states here that HCG is not used for weight loss, this was entirely not true for me. I was under the care of a Naturopath MD and participated in a 6-week program that consisted of HCG and B-12 shots, special diet and exercise. I lost 33 pounds in those 6 weeks and reduced my BMI considerably. I have continued a healthy eating and exercise plan to continue my weight loss. I am really glad I did it. This gave me a great jump start. Absolutely!

I am now on my 2nd round of the injections & I am so THRILLED with the results! Yes, it makes it sound like the weight is going to melt away, which is not the case! You have to make a whole, complete lifestyle change and commit yourself to that. You can't expect to lose weight and go back to your old eating habits and keep it off. When you have had a weight problem for most of your life like I have, you still have to continue to work at it everyday! I wish it could be some miracle drug where you can eat whatever you want, but it's VERY structured. Sticking to the recommends is what makes it stay off & of course putting in that extra effort to make sure it doesn't come back. I have went from 247 lbs to now 209 lbs in 2 1/2 months. I was on the shot for 40 days & just barely began taking them again. I did not gain a pound at all being off of the shots for a month. This is wonderful & with my dedication to this diet, I believe, I will be at my goal weight & be able to keep it off. The changes I have made to this diet are ones that should have been made anyway cause I wasn't eating or drinking the right things to make my weight a priority, now that I am I definetly am seeing the results!

I wanted to lose weight, and I discovered this HCG diet. I've lost 9 pounds in 10 days. It WORKS. I've lost inches in my arms, stomach, hips, butt, and thighs. The HCG is there to unlock the bad fat that is stored away in my body. I can tell the protocol is retraining my mind and body on how to eat. Following the diet from start to finish is the key. There are 3 phases that must be followed in order for you to receive maximum results. It really takes a lot of self discipline, but the reward on the other side is priceless!!Read More Read Less

I am in the second month of using HCG to assist in implantation after IUI. I can't believe people think this makes them lose weight! I have a never-ending appetite which actually caused me to think I was pregnant last month. I'm afraid to weigh myself. Moodiness too.
