  Just finished hCG diet round 1

  I just finished the hCG diet and lost 25 lbs under a Dr.'s care. I used the injections and agree that I would not purchase over the Internet. I note that a lot of people on this blog want to tell everyone why this is not a good diet without any real understanding of what it is. I used the hCG diet as some indicate that you want to: to jump start my weight loss and learn to eat better. This diet forces one to eat lean protein, vegetables, fruits and stop eating sugar and items out of a box.(if you follow the diet) It is a healthy way to jump start weight loss and I disagree with most of the posters negative comments. The problem is that posters always want to tell you that their way is the way that works best. Well, there are many ways to lose weight. Some need to see a real loss to be committed, others are happy to plod along at .5 pound loss a week or less and be happy. I also note how NON-ENCOURAGING these posters are saying, "it won't work and you will put on the weight again." Well I would say that returning to old habits and eating sugar and fats will make anyone put weight back on. That is not the fault of the diet but the dieter. This is a short term 42 day diet that I was not hungry on plus did not crave sweets nor boxed product. It retrained my thinking and my cravings with a new way to look at food. I now love vegetables and have a new healthy respect for fruits. Instead of reaching for a cookie, I reach for a piece of fruit. THIS DIET HAS MERITS AND UNLIKE THOSE DIETS THAT GO ON FOREVER, THIS ONLY LASTS 42 DAYS. Then you monitor yourself very closely and keep within 2 pounds of your last weight to retrain your weight set point before losing any more weight. I really don't care what you think who don't agree but I do encourage those who want a jumpstart to eating in a more healthy way and the side effect being to loose about 20-30 pounds in 42 days. It is not easy but worth the trouble with much faster results. I did not follow the Trudeau plan but the original Simeons plan from the late 1950's. Trudeau has given this diet a bad name and I ignore his voice. Ignore Trudeau and look up Simeons "Pounds and Inches." He is no longer alive nor gaining any financial gain from his plan. To me that says a lot....follow the money for the sham diets!
