Anyway... was wondering if anyone was using my brand also?... thanks.

I used that one and thought it was great!!! I used it for my round my he**--round #2 for me---and everyone thought the round sucked because of the Hhcg since I didn't use it in Round1. But I didn't believe anyone. I used it in my round #3 and got more great results. Loved it!!!

Yes, the Netrition site has a great coupon!!!! I suggest if you need another bottle you get it from them!!

I am a cheapskate too!! I got 2 2oz bottles for less than 1 bottle I used on any other round!! I thought it was a great deal!! And then to actually use them and find out that they work--woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've also not experienced hunger beyond mealtimes and think after so many weeks on so few calories would feel like garbage by now. I don't. I feel great.

Based solely on the way the weight is coming off, no way am I experiencing a placebo effect.

Me too Maureen! I could never lose in my thighs and I've lost 2 inches off of my thighs in my first round.

Fellow cheapskate here too.

What a RELIEF to see all the brands and everyone's successes with them. This is a thread jack of sorts but after reading and reading through the HCG threads and posts...is there a single post or sticky that lists the "How To" for this protocol? I have read Simeon's protocol on another site. I understand preloading and the allowed foods and portions I think. Thanks in advance!

[mistydisa]

Susan, I don't think there is...If there is, I wish I had found it! What I did was just start reading, and I copied and pasted some things into a separate Word document as sort of a "cheatsheet" for later...I think most of my cheatsheet is recipes, though. LOL, I must've been hungry as I read.

This is probably your most help for P2.

We are glad these threads are helping you find the weight loss support you need. However, I'd like to make a comment here.

Yes, it is okay to post about what hcg brand you are using. Everyone is familiar with internet searches and you can find where those brands are being sold by doing a search.

It is not acceptable to post about where you are purchasing your products and how much you are spending.

Please remember that Netrition sells hcg and Netrition is the sponsor of this site.

Thank you for making that clear! I will look into the Netrition brand too.

EXCELLENT!! thank you!

I used the Natural Health Labs Homeopathic my first round and lost 14lbs (this after doing a very strict Atkins Induction for 3 weeks immediately prior, so there was NO waterweight lost). As happy as I was with them this round I opted to try Netrition's Fusion and my losses have been dismal. I've no idea if it's because of the drops or my own comfortableness with the diet, but I've gone ahead and ordered another bottle of the Natural Health Labs and will finish off the remaining in the bottle I have now and start on that one. I've got 23 days left on my 40-day run (which recommences on Wednesday, I took a 5-day interruption) and one of the NHL 2oz bottles should suffice for those 23 remaining days (they're 6 drops/6x a day, which is double what the Fusion was yet I'm running out of the Fusion as quickly as I did the NHL).

[mistydisa]

I know I've read where many of you all dose differently than instructed on the bottle. The NHL drops say 6 drops, 6X day.... What are my other options for dosing? What worked best for you?

[mistydisa]

I found great answers in this thread, but if anyone else wants to chime in, that'd be appreciated, as well!

Please explain what the abbreviations mean that you are all using.
I am so far not using the product, but I am tracking everyone's successes trying to convince myself I suppose.
I don't understand the point of the carb/fat loading before taking the drops. Why would one need to put on more if we are wanting to take it off? Sorry, just can't wrap brain around that. Has anyone just started the drops without doing the pre-load? If so, what happened?
Thank you!

Google "Simeon's Pounds and Inches" and read the original study. It explains the science behind everything. Also check out the weekly thread(s) on this forum. This particular thread is about brands, the ladies (and occasional gent) on the other threads can help you along.

I have had both Fusion and Platinum from Netrition and have great results from both. I prefer the Fusion because it doesn't have an alcoholy taste to it. I went from 217.6 post load down to 197.2. I was within my 2 pound limit during P3 for the first two weeks but at the moment I am 3.4 above. I will use Fusion again for my next round at the end of this week.

This is exactly what I did, since both DH and I are doing this together. Natural Health labs is working great for us.

I do 8 drops 3x/day.

The last time I used NHL I did the 6/6x dosing but I've gotten spoiled with dosing only 3x a day, so if I do go that route this next time I'm going to do 10-12/3x, depending on where my hunger is.

[savbaby]

I did 15 drops 2x a day. I loved it. Nothing to worry about during the day. Did it when I got up and then 12 hours later. Those were the directions on my bottle.

I also do 8 drops 3x per day. It worked well for me the first round. I am just today loading, and am using Fusion from Netrition. I hope I have good results.

I used both the platinum and the fusion from Netrition. I like them both but the Fusion is my fave. I feel so much better while taking it, have a bunch more energy.
