Anyone use/using this brand of pellets? I am contemplating finishing this extended round with pellets (going from injects).


And, has anyone went from injections to pellet?

Thanks.

I am not sure yet... I am only hesitant to switch from injections because I feel it is really helping (boosting) getting my hormones in balance. I am alll tooo aware that this could just be a 'mind thing'... but 'knowing' that I am dosing a certain amount of 'real' hcg (as opposed to a homeopathic version) is what has me on the fence...

That is very good news. I used Intermountain drops on R1 and was very happy with them. Only reason I switched to rx was for convenience (no eating/drinking timing issues & having to carry them around with me). If I ever decide to return to hhcg, I will definitely use Intermountain.

I've used Intermountain's Pellets for my first round - lost 24 lbs in under 21 days (have gained back 3 lbs because of TOM). I like them because I can carry some to work & leave the rest at home! I was worried at first, but they seem to work well & are an economical choice.

Good luck!

Good to know LoosinItNow, I am thinking I might try these pellets, mostly for the convenience. I am just concerned about going from Rx, to Homeopathic, in the ingredients, it says Hcg 6x, 12x, 30x, etc..... not sure what that means, but it must be homeopathic if it's being sold in the US correct ?!

I used prescription in my R1 and thinking about pellets b/c I thought they were more convenient - but it sounds like hhcg might actually be less convenient? Can you tell me about the eating/drinking timing issues so I'm aware before I decide and can make the right choice for me?

I thought the main difference was that I took the prescription (I did sublingual) twice a day and hhcg would be 3. I always waited 30 minutes after taking them before eating and drinking (but I think I didn't have to wait that long?) Is it different with hhcg if I do decide to try the pellets?

Thanks!

Thank you Kathy!


I will be back for a new round very soon. A lot of back to back travel but I am still holding most of my losses but look forward to perhaps new territory.

it contains different dilutions in the same bottle that is what the 12x etc means yes it is homeopathic

Thanks!

i also do not take anything 15 minutes before or after when i so sublingual RX

LoosinItNow--- you said you take a few of these to work and leave the rest at home? What do you keep them in? I thought they had to be in the original container. I start R2 tomorrow with these pellets, used drops 1st round. This is great news as I have to leave mine in my heated (TX) truck all day, the reason I made the switch in the first place. Thanks

I am almost at the end of my 2nd loading day! I am feeling stuffed and yucky to be honest. This is new new new to me and I am a little scarred of failure. Still a skeptic I guess. I am using the Intermountain pellets. Has anyone had good results with these? I am finding they aren't dissolving like I thought they would.

wannab- If your feeling yucky, your doing it right! There's nothing to be scared of, I promise a week from now you'll be a believer! This is 2nd round, lost 40 lbs. in 44 days the first time on Intermountain drops. Going to do this round with same drops and also the pellets for 1 or 2 doses weekdays. Good luck, you'll do great.

I am using the pellets this round. I quite like them -- sure easier to travel with than the drops -- 17 lbs in 22 days.

I put them in a snack baggie, and keep them out of sunlight deep in my purse! I work outside a lot, but leave them at my office (I'm in and out constantly) so that there won't be any heat issues. They work wonderfully, as I lost the 1st 22 lbs in the first two weeks. I actually lost a pound during loading (I was eating a lot of coconut oil), and dropped incredibally quickly the first week. I was VERY hungry the first week, though, but have since learned that you can adjust the # of pellets you take to make the hunger go away. I adjusted UP, which made me more hungry, but the weight loss was freaky fast! I finally adjusted DOWN, and the hunger got better, but the last week was slow loosin' because I started eating a little cocoa crack, which stalled me out. Stay away from COCOA CRACK! At least until P3.

This really works, though different people experience different losses and hunger, etc. But if you dedicate yourself to the whole 23 days of dosing, you will be amazed. I am going to start a R2 on 5/4 and hope to do as well on that round!

Good luck, and come back here often for support, it is great!

wannabskinny, I was a little startled by how long they took to dissolve at first, but once I realized that they take 15 - 20 min to totally dissolve (I cheat a little, when they get small I "crunch" them with my teeth and let them continue to dissolve under my tounge - it seems to still work). I would wait at least 15 min to eat or drink anything.

I really like them, and plan to purchase more from netrition for the end of my next round, as I had upped the # I took for the first few weeks - therefore I won't have enough to finish my next round.

I haven't tried the liquid or the injections, but the pellets are just so darn convienient!

Good luck with your round.

Make sure you drink lots of water every day! Take potassium suppliments, they helped me with feeling weak - take 99 mg at least 3 times a day. I took Yerba Mate pills (tea is not my favorite, but if you like to drink tea, drink Yerba Mate tea for hunger control) and Hoodia pills also for the hunger control. I am going to add ginger pills to the Hunger Patrol list, someone else posted that it seems to help.

I used Stevia quite liberally with no negative results, but be careful which brand you use, not all Stevias are the same! I use NuNaturals Stevia. I used both powdered and the liquid, choose the liquid without alcohol, if you can find it.

I mixed my veggies, but stayed as close to the 500 cals as possible. I did eat Shirataki noodles (not the tofu ones) at least once a day starting P2. I think I had Spaghetti every night of the last 2 weeks! It seemed to fill me up more and stave off hunger.

I also took ACV pills with a large glass of water first thing every morning. Around week 2 Bernice will suddenly get very shy, and you may need to drink Smooth Move tea (there is a chocolate flavor - one of the few teas that I like) to coax her to show up and "produce".

I squeezed my first round between TOM, but if you are in R2, don't forget to stop taking the HCG during the first 2 day, 'though I've seen others post that they just continue to take it with no problems.

Lack of sleep WILL affect weight loss! Some of my no-loss days were because I stayed up until 2 am, I think.

I can't think of any more nuggets of advice, but the boards are great to ferret out tips that help have a great and successful round.

Best of luck!

Late to the party . . .

I just joined this forum and ordered the Intermountain brand from Netrition. They should arrive in the mail today, so I can get started tomorrow. Wish I could start today but the mail lady doesn't deliver until late. I am a newbie to HHCG and a former low-carber. Look forward to finding support here.

First VLCD, feeling pretty good using my drops. Something is working. Lol . . . I keep feeling a little faint burning sensation under tongue throughout the day. Glad to hear about the pellets as I will travel soon. Will order next week.

The pellets are great, but sometimes take 15 -20 min to dissolve. I still prefer them to the drops, because they are more temp stable.
