I originally wanted to address my digestive issues. I found this detox tea that is 100% organic with no caffeine or stimulants. After drinking 2 cups a day for 7 days I had lost 4lbs with no dietary changes. my body was releasing waste and I was experiencing my food actually digest. I continued to drink the tea but then I saw many getting results with HCG of 20-90lbs of weight loss.
Weight 233 at 5'4" my body always had a problem losing weight. I would workout change eating habits some and because I have a muscular structure I would bulk up, and lose a few inches, but would have to fight hard to lose lbs. Yeah many say its' how you fit in your clothes and don't watch the scale, but my goal weight is not to be 5'4" and weighing 200lbs. I was always 145-155 in high school and was size 8.
Having large muscle mass can be deceiving and when I told people I weighed 230 no one believed me because my body always was proportioned. But at this point I wanted a program in which I could lose weight before I started to workout and bulk up. Many will say well why don't you eat clean? It's not in my nature, I love to cook, and honesty I love great food, not fast food but I have a love for fine dining from time to time. So cleaning up my diet is eating more fruits and veggies and reducing my fine dining to once or twice a month.
So upon inquring about HCG I started the program and lost 15 lbs the first round (30 days), below average but better than I was getting doing nothing. I started the second round in August and did about 28 days, loss 11 lbs for a grand total of 22. Had a few setbacks in round 2, ended up on bed rest and taking meds that required me to eat more to protect me stomach. I finished today at 208... It's not easy, but is not as hard as many think. My goal weight around 170 lbs.
The number one thing to remember with HCG is it is mental. You have to mentally prepare for this program and truly be ready to commit. Second, you must prep your foods. Third, if and when you have a bad or days, don't quit. Get back on and correct what wasn't working and move forward. Some weight loss is better than no weight loss.
So what happens after HCG. HCG is a lifestyle, I now enter phase 4, maintenance phase. I can slowly increase my intake to 1200 calories today eating minimal to no carbs and sugars, weighing at least once weekly and as soon as you see yourself gaining 2lbs, cut back and address it immediately through dietary changes.
The biggest thing I've learned is to keep my portion sizes small and it has trained me not to eat large meals.
It works for me, and plan to do another round in October.
