Can you answer a couple questions for a friend?

[WildflowerMama]

We are starting hhcg today and she has a couple questions I can't answer for her.

She says in her research, she's finding that there really isn't any hcg in the homeopathic drops so they can't really be doing what the injectables are doing.

She says in her research, shes finding that those who use the homeopathic drops are actually burning muscle as opposed to fat and that those on the drops won't be burning ketones like those on the injections.

For me, I'm going on the results I've seen here and other boards but, she's not a member of the boards so, she's not seeing the results I'm seeing. She's going soley based on her research and is having concerns.

We've both read pounds and inches but, again, that's dealing with injectables.

We started this morning with loading and I feel good to go but, I know she's really starting to second guess her decision which will really sabotage her success so if anyone has advice I could give her, I'd appreciate it so much.

She is correct - the hHCG is a homeopathic.(but not burning muscle) It works however - just look at all the success stories here and all over the net. This forum alone has talked about it. Search for someposts, maybe print for her and chat about it.

Let her know that many of us use the drops - but note sometimes you must activate the drops with a few taps on the bottle, dont use mint, keep the bottle away from electronics.

How many days are you 2 going to do P2?

I lost 18 pounds on the drops...fyi....

PS: Can she come and sit at your pc while you two read these posts here?

I've done both.

My first round injections. I tracked my body fat percentage both times, so I know how much fat and the % lean body mass as well.

In my first round with shots I lost 15.6 pounds (35 vlcds till ldw), 87% of my loss was fat.

In my second round, 21 days, with drops I lost 10.2 pounds, 82% of which was fat.

I am currently in my third round with 7.8 lost so far, 81% fat.

Hmm, looking at it that way, the shots may have had a slight "edge" on the fat loss. I have to say my TOMs on my first round were a bear, and since my daily loss has been identical (.48 per day on shots, .47 on drops) I have stuck with the drops.

Thank you! She actually found a message board that deals with the drops we're using and I think that really helped her.

I think there was just a moment's panic about how can this really work and fear of burning muscle but, she's 100% on board now so we're good to go!

Glad to hear the fear has not set in. I have posted my after pics (in a bikini no less!!) and there is no loss of muscle. I have great muscles that were revealed once the fat was melted off by the Hhcg. I was able to lose 40 pounds in 3 rounds. I wish you, and your friend, well!!!
