Is anyone also taking HCG with MRC centers?

Thanks. After reading these posts, I don't think that I'll go rogue.

what's MRC?

dreaminthin · 06-18-2011, 01:17 PM

MRC stands for Metabolic Research Center. From what I understand it's a lot like LA Weight Loss. I lost about 60 lbs with MRC last year. It's basically a low carb, high protein diet with protein drinks. They have a center in which you weigh in and speak to someone and they track your weight there.
I just started HCG with MRC but MRC does HCG rouge. Their diet is 800 calories and you must drink the protein drinks.
I started day one with HCG and I'm trying to do 500 calories without the protein drinks. I'm trying to stay closer Siemons' plan. And, after reading all the threads here, I feel much better about it all!

Hmmm...from what you say, it sounds like you would have to pay a lot of extra cash for something that you don't need for success. If you buy hhcg from Netrition, it's under $30, and you don't have to buy anyone's shakes -- just pure natural foods -- which I figure will save you money, and goodness knows what they put into those shakes that you might not want to ingest (I actually have no idea what they put in them, but I'm betting that soy is in there, plus some ingredients that the human tongue cannot actually pronounce

). It sounds like you will be better off following Simeon's (which it sounds like you are now) or one of the rogue plans on here -- let us know how you're doing!

I totally agree about the cost. I feel like a doofus for buying their product but that's ok. I'm not buying their protein drinks so that should save a bundle. I really don't need the support they give me because they aways try to get me to buy another product.

I am SO happy that I'm going more with this thread and not taking any extra calories. You think, they push the extra calories then you stay longer. Kind of like Weight Watchers.

This thread is great! I'm glad for all the information and I'm looking forward to the day when I can share and help someone.

Don't feel bad, I'm a doofus on a regular basis. It's just "who I am" so I own it. Yeah, this board pretty much rocks, so move around a bit and check it all out. You'll find a group that will fit perfectly for you. Since you're just starting, you should look for one of the weekly threads that get bumped all the time -- threads like "Simeons Protocol -- P2 Week of 6/13/11" and just jump on in to the party! There are excellent peeps all around these boards!
