Pellet Roll Call ....

Are you taking pellets? If so, l wanna know!

I'm beginning to really hate the taste of my drops. Sometimes I find that I have to psych myself out before I take them. Blech.

The pellets sound appealing to me ... especially the fact that they don't taste like alcohol!

So ... do you use pellets? Do you love them?

I just started the pellets they are very convienent, they are sweet tasting, takes a little longer to disolve then holding the drops under your tongue for 2 mins. I like them.

Can you tell a difference hunger & energy-wise with pellets versus the drops?

I like the pellets. I've taken liquid homeopathy before, but not hcg. I've also taken B12 pellets before, and they were fine, too. Takes a little while to dissolve, but that doesn't bother me. I'm pretty bad with getting exactly 4 out of the bottle, though, so I have to fiddle with it.

My hunger is controlled.

^^ This, and I have much better appetite control with these vs the Yavonae drops I was using (which others really like)!!

I agree on the appetite control, although I am only two days into the VLCD. I LOVE, LOVE my pellets so far.

I got some for free to try, so now giving them a whirl. Got enough for several rounds.

Using granules, they are gone within 30 seconds

So far so good..today will be the real trial though!

I do have more energy and it seems to be helping with the hunger better in the morning, my stomach would usually growl some in the morning on the drops but with the pellets it seems to have calmed down.

I started the pellets on Jan 10 but my weight loss has really slowed down I have only lost .4 since monday not sure if it has anything to do with the pellets but I will give it another couple of days to see if the weight starts going down again.

My losses have been s-l-o-w this week as well, Cindy. Very frustrating. Hang in there.

I am using up the rest of my drops. I found that it took so long for the pellets to dissolve I was waiting more than 40 minutes dedicated to just getting the Hcg into my system~ 15 min before nothing by mouth, then nearly 10 min for them to dissolve completely, then 15 more min nothing by mouth. I will switch back to pellets after my drops are gone. I did feel like they gave better appitite control, but I actually find them less convinient than drops.
I suspect that will be easier once I start the actual structure of the 500 cal days but it is hard on load days.

that is odd they take so long to disolve... mine are granules, 150 per g ..they literally are gone within 20 seconds, you can barely hold them under your tounge and they vanish!

I am liking the appetite control..I was stuffed after a few bites yesterday

Wow Molly that is a long time for them to dissolve, mine take about 3-5 mins to dissolve completly, longer then holding the drops under my tongue for 2 mins.

I still wait the 15 mins before and after the pellets so I usually need about a 35 min window when taking my pellets.

I've acquired a Pavlovian response: every time I taste the pellets, I check my list for the next cleaning project...good way to kill 15 minutes.

I should get my pellets sometimes this week. I am really hoping they help with my (out of control) hunger!

I had only done Rx HCG (inj and subl) and was hungry and weak all the time. I need to experiment more with the Rx dosage, before I completely write it off for Homeopathic, but I just started the HHCG pellets and I them. It is easy taking them and I am not hungry or weak and have lost 7.6 lbs on (R2-P2-D6).

Ok, I timed it today. It took 12 minutes for my pellets to dissolve fully. When I do drops I hold them in my mouth about 3-5 minutes. I am NOT a patient person LOL.

I hope the pellets prove to be a lot better, As in more fat released, not just appetite reduction, since the point of the hcg is releasing fat, and appetite is just a happy side effect.

Wow, yet another HCG thread! I've been doing the drops, but am waiting for some pellets to come so I can try them. I guess in January we're all wanting to get real serious about taking off our poundage. Good luck everyone!

I LOVE the pellets as well. I am R2P2D10. Last round (on drops) I upped my dosage at the end to what I think I remember as 6 drops 9x a day. I also upped my protein to 150gs. This helped to lose those last few pounds. Does anyone know if I should/how I should do this on the pellets????? Thanks!

Ok, silly question, but ....

What do your pellets look like? Mine look like tiny white decorating pearls. Someone else's look like frosted glass balls.

Do yours look like either of those? I bought mine off ebay and am now, of course, all freaked out that mine are just candy or something. LOL

That is what most homeopathic pellets look like. I've taken other homeopathic remedies in pellet form and they have looked like that. The ones I'm using right now look like that.

Which brand are you using?
