Where did you by your HCG product?

[Rouge]

Still researching this diet and have a few questions, hopefully someone can answer.

I'm not even sure if it's allowed to ask this question...if it is I would like recommendations on what website(s) to go and get HCG drops product or homeopathic HCG. I'm very picky and would prefer something that it's not yucky tasting.

Has anyone tried to use HCG and keep a higher caloric count (more than 500 calories) and be sucessfull at weight loss?

I may need to lose a good 40 lbs. For this amount...how many cycles are recommended?

Anyone here that used HCG but no longer uses it? are you keeping weight off? was it easy to make better food choices AFTER you stopped HCG?

I have been a member of lcf for many years and trust these folks a lot. I also trust the affiliation with netrition and, therefore, chose to buy from them. I did not want to do injections and the research I did led me to choose the pellets. I ordered the intermountain brand. They arrived in less than 4 days and I am now on my second load day, starting VLC tomorrow.
I would estimate that 40 lbs will take two rounds, at least. I think some people manage to go 40 days and get off 20-25 lbs in a round, but if you have to do two rounds anyway, you might as well plan on keeping them to a length you are comfortable with.
Good luck to you.

Hi blush :-)

A lot of us get the Intermountain pellets from Netrition - which sponsors this site. They work great. Netrition.com - The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore!

It's very necessary to read the book "Pounds and Inches" It will answer all your questions :-) Just google it - it's easy to find.

My caloric count was slightly higher because I was doing some heavy physical work while I was on HCG - but not too much. I upgraded to a whole chicken breast, for example, and more veggies.

As far as how many cycles, it depends on how fast you lose. Everyone is different.

Welcome!

Ditto, to all of that. I bought from Intermountain pellets from netrition and am very happy with them -- I'll buy the same for future rounds.

I would plan for 3 rounds to lose 40 lbs. although it may be quicker for you. I plan to do 3 rounds (at least) with a goal of about 30 pound total loss. My first round I lost 15 lbs (I'm in P3 now); a lot of folks lose less on round 2, so I'm thinking I may lose 10 lbs., then I'll need to do one more to lose those last few pounds and to finish the whole reshaping process.

Enjoy the process and post here often for lots of great advice from some amazing peeps!
