if i'm not KU this cycle then i'm going to

texas77 · September 2009

start the HCG diet. you can't do it while pg, so if i'm not and then start the diet i have to TTA for at least 12 weeks and possibly up to 18 weeks. it might not be hard to TTA cuz i'm not sure if i'll O while on the diet.

so that part blows, but fertility goes way up with weight loss so that would be a plus. sigh. i hope i'm KU and then don't need the stupid diet.

lil_rhody · September 2009

Along with everyone else, I want to know what this special diet is. Stick out tongue

Mrs0815 · September 2009

How cna you eat 500 calories a day and be ok? Aren;t you the mastermind behind Ghetto Grub?'

P.S. I tried to google and got a t-shirt that said "I

knelli · September 2009

I hope you dont get to do it because you are KTFU but I am dieing to know if that diet works!!!

texas77 · September 2009

ok, it's really radical but i'm willing to try it. all the midwives at work have done it with huge success. this is not for the skinnies that are trying to lose 10 lbs.

anywho, you inject yourself with a little HCG everyday and then follow a strict diet of 500 calories per day by eating off of a specific list of fruits, veggies and proteins.

the way it works is that when you are pg and there is a famine your body will pull enough calories out of your fat reserves to sustain the pg and feed your baby. so you inject the hcg and then restrict calories and basically your body thinks there is a famine going on. so your body pulls the remaining 1500 or so calories out of your fat to keep you going. this results in a rapid weight loss. it is important to take supplements and a liver/kidney cleanse for the first two weeks of it.

you are on it for 40 days and then take 6 weeks off. if you still need to lose weight you can repeat the cycle. it's radical, but i have personally seen it work for over 10 people- including all the girls at work.

momagain2009 · September 2009

Found it...I use the Zone, then if I end up pg it's okay to continue because I gorge myself on veggies.

The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet (VLCD) accompanied by treatments of hCG, rather oral or injected. The average hCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day. In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.

yeah, the ghetto grub will change drastically. no more breaded food and fried foods.

Wowzers - that is extreme!

kimber926 · September 2009

Oh my gosh. I just ate 500 in about 2 minutes between my chips, nacho cheese, and iced tea! The thought of that diet makes me just want to eat more Huh?

lil_rhody · September 2009

Oh, wow, I couldn't manage just 500 calories. I love food too much!

texas77 · September 2009

i do too, that's why i'm fat. but it's time for a change and i think it will help increase my fertility. the mw, michelle, had two family members get pg right after the diet.

soontobemrsvega · September 2009

How do you get your dr to do that!?!?!?! Seriously I would do it!!

whoa, had a comp freak out moment there.

well i'm lucky and i can get the hcg from work. i assume that you have to have a Rx for it. maybe just call and see if your dr is doing it? the mw's at work are offering the whole progam to women in the area, for a charge, but cuz i work there i only have to pay for the med.

momagain2009 · September 2009

Losing weight does jumpstart the ovulatory process. I could see how it would work but I wouldn't be able to do it. I just ate 500 calories while typing this post.

I think I might..... I was thinking TTA this month so I could take my Alli again. But if this will make me loose 40lbs in the time Alli would take to loose 15 Im down!!!

yeah it would be worth a call to your dr to see what the story is. the mw's mom did it, she's 68, and she went from a size 18/20 to a size 8 in just two rounds of it. so far she's kept it off, been over 6 mths. obviously you still need to use control when you go off it cuz if you eat like crazy you will gain it back. like anything else.

My massage therapist did this and she looks awesome. She was 200+ lbs, lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks and is still continuing to lose weight with exercise 7 diet. You have to be VERY disciplined. GL!

cool! it's nice to see another success story. thanks for sharing.

*kendrick* · September 2009

While this diet may work for weight loss--any form of starvation will-- it doesn't sound at all healthy. Have you tried to lose weight with the help of a nutritionist or personal trainer? Those are both much more solid options.

texas77 · September 2009

i have tried the nutritionist, didn't work for me. this diet is probably unhealthy, but so is being overweight. the upside is that the diet is only done for 6 weeks at a time, so while it might be unhealthy it is short-term.

LMichelleG · September 2009

Wow!

More power to you! Where do you get the injections ... and have you ever injected yourself with anything before? Its the only part of pregnancy I dislike - having to give myself injections of blood thinners. I wouldn't do it voluntarily. Good Luck!

oh, as a health care provider i have zero fear of needles. i have been a student and done lots of things to myself to practice before doing it on clients.

and girl, if i could lose a decent amount of weight and keep it off i would inject myself with a rusty burr 4 times a day!

katie9136 · September 2009
