Chloe Adisson answers:

There is little evidence that the HCG diet works, and if you decide to take the drop (pill) form, don’t expect it to work at all. The drops would not be effective as this method the bio-availability of this product is virtually zero.

Additionally, don’t expect to eat healthy on this diet. When on an HCG diet, you are told to consume a very low calorie diet of about 500 calories. This is why the diet works. I could put you on a candy diet, and if you only consumed 500 calories, you would drop weight.

In all honesty, if you intend on doing a very low calorie diet, you are better off with an appetite suppressant than a chemical that really doesn’t work and is insanely expensive.

As far as your original question, regardless of what supplement you take, your body loses weight according to genetics and will not change.

Chloe Adisson answers:

A 500 calorie per day diet is considered anorexic. Mix it with a hormone from pregnant women’s urine and you get a miracle diet! All over the counter hcg products were announced as illegal and fraudulent by the FDA on January 24, 2011.
Testing concluded that all over the counter oral and injection products on the market have little to no real hcg in them but most a similar synthetic hormone. I was in GNC last week. They carry three brands of hcg drops and not one of them has any hcg in them. The well trained salesman even admitted it when I mentioned it. They contained “similar hormones” or amino acids.
Sort of like I’m going to sell you this Toyota Prius but it is really a Ford Focus but we’re going to put a price tag on it that says it is a Toyota Prius. Excuse me?
Anyone that lost weight especially with the drops did it because they ate fewer calories than they burned. The hcg acted as the placebo to help them lose the weight.
The only approved use for hcg is to increase fertility in both men and women.
Next year will mark 60 years since this fraudulent science was started.
The doctors exploiting this benign hormone with the ability to prescribe injections can’t even agree on how it works. Some say it releases stored fat calories into the system. Others say it acts as an appetite suppressant.
Neither explanation justifies the weight loss in the individuals taking the oral drops with NO hcg in them that still lost weight. I am confident the hcg diet has a 95% failure rate just like every other controversial diet plan out there.
By the way, the expensive “clinical injections” are not covered by insurance since it is not FDA approved. What doctor wouldn’t want to get an “all cash” practice going?

So the question is are you willing to risk your health based on testimonials, not research, and the statements from doctors in this all cash business?

Chloe Adisson answers:

It is not an easy diet. If you’re expecting to take the HCG & magically lose your weight… You’re in for a huge surprise. You have to be militant to the diet in order to get results. You cannot cheat without dire consequences.

I just finished a 40 day round (to get the baby weight off) and lost 25lbs. My mom is on it & has lost about 30lbs in 30 days. My aunt has had great results too.

You really need to research it. Read the book Pounds & Inches. It’s the original diet. If you decide to do it, you’ll want to find a reputable company to get the HCG from. Do not get it from overseas. And I wouldn’t advise getting it from anyone advertising as an answer on here.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Ive done the HCG diet many times over the past8 yrs,and YES !! I have gotten prego very quick…..i believe this is very true. Do you get a positive preg test when you take hcg shots?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Not many. People can lose weight, but the loss isn’t due to either taking or injecting HCG. There is no scientific evidence supporting HCG as a weight loss strategy.

Scientists have actually investigated this “miracle cure for obesity.”
Not only is the diet no more effective than calorie restriction alone, the HCG also doesn’t affect hunger or other more subjective factors of dieting.

Even experts in the supplement industry say the products aren’t legal and don’t work. Andrew Shao of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, an industry group, says HCG is “not considered a legal dietary ingredient and therefore cannot be sold as a dietary supplement. I am not aware of any scientific evidence that supports its use when taken orally.”

Because HCG is a peptide hormone, it would be broken down by the stomach and rendered ineffective, he says.

Your doctor has taken advanced classes in plastic surgery and received those “designations”. They are to indicate to you that she is trained in this area.
1% of all plastic surgery patients have a life-altering complication from the surgery. The best thing you could do is talk to nurses who have operated with this surgeon before..

My neighbor had eyelid lift for medical reasons because they drooped so much it obscured her vision. She is pretty old though…

Chloe Adisson answers:

Korean surgery is pro, but it’s not good for you. A natural face is the best. We humans were created by god to look different and unique from every single person on the planet, and i think its a sin to neglect that custom. I find that natural beauties look better than surgery beauties. Surgery beauties generally look the same and they’re not necessarily always prettier by getting surgery. Big eyes with big double eyelids aren’t necessarily that pretty. Some are disgusting. There are pretty people without double eyelids too. Remember also that you are not fully grown yet. Your facial features can change as you age. Your face might get more tight and the skin might pull your eyes down to make them bigger. Like hyunbin. He had really small eyes when he was younger, but he became more sharper, his face wasn’t crooked anymore and his eyes got bigger. Why? Coz he left them alone. A friend of mine had double eyelid surgery and I rofled when I saw him. It didn’t really suit him much.

Everybody is different. Some people might get prettier by surgery, some are just naturally pretty, some grow up to be pretty, some age to be ugly, and some are just ugly. You probably still don’t know how your face is working right now. What mucles are shrinking, what are growing. That is why you should observe your face more and decide later, when fully grown on whether u want surgery or not. I’m currently losing my double eyelids. My eyes used to be almond shaped, but now they’re are more squarer so my double eyelids only survived at the end. But this looks better.

Consider surgery in 6 years time.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Difficult to answer.

Unnecessary in the moral light, really.

Adults should be setting a lesson for children that image doesn’t matter.

However, I am a teenager myself and sometimes I do wish I could’ve had plastic surgery to stop people bullying me in the past. But I don’t know if that’s just because I was hormonal ergo very dramatic.

As I said, very difficult to clarify a straightforward answer.

Chloe Adisson answers:

It depends on your weight. If you only have a few pounds to lose, like 10-15, then it’ll take longer to lose that amount than if you have over 20 pounds to lose. With the HCG drops, I’m guessing you could lose 7 pounds easy. More if you’re really strict while on the VLCD. Remember you only eat 500 calories a day, no sugar (nor fake sugars like splenda), 200 grams of meat total, 2 fruits, and 1 bread thing. If you want to lose the weight faster, you may want to cut out the bread stick and 1 of the fruits. Honestly, I started these drops 4 days ago (2 days of Phase 1, and now I’m on my second day of Phase 2) and I just got on the scale a few minutes ago and I lost 5 pounds in 1 day! But I have quite a bit of weight to lose so that won’t be the results for everyone. If you exercise at least 30 minutes a day also, you could lose even more than 10 pounds a week. Also, I haven’t been hungry on this diet. The drops help soo much! Good luck and have fun in N. Carolina!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Yes, that is the hormone your body produces from pregnancy. Lack of nutrition from only eating 500 calories a day will cause a missed period. Also, you can get an ultrasound to prove yes or no. If you were and missed the period because of it, it will show up from the ultrasound.

Chloe Adisson answers:

I would recommend getting the drops from http://www.prohcgdiet.com I did the drops from there and lost 16 pounds in 24 days and have kept the weight off for 4 months now.

Chloe Adisson answers:

I did the drops from prohcgdiet.com and lost 16 pounds on the diet in 24 days. Its now been 3 months since I did this diet and and I have not gained a pound since I went off of it. I have tried so many diets and this is a diet that I can really say was fun. Its so great to wake up every morning and see how much weight you have lost. My and my mom and sister all took the drops from Pro Hcg Diet which had good instructions and a great menu book too. Some girls from the office did the injections and lost about the same as I did so unless your into pain, get drops!

Good Luck!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Here are some intresting ones.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Scents and moods are mostly subjective i.e. You should find a scent that is related to a pleasant memory. While I like the scent of wet pavement (associate it with the beginning of rain), most people find it pretty disgusting.

A few essentials do have medicinal properties, but they are relatively rare. The only one I know for sure is frankincense resin, which is a mild sedative. Most other scents’ effects are ‘in your head’.

Safe bets to start with are citrus and flower scents–few people have bad memories of that! If you can find a store in the area that carries perfume oils, walk in and ask to smell samples. These are usually pagan or New Age -themed stores. If you don’t have those, find a Yankee Candles store and sniff the candles. At a buck and change apiece it’s a relatively inexpensive way to scent a room and try out what you like.

Chloe Adisson answers:

None.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Aromatherapy uses essential oils extracted from nature’s herbs and flowers. The aroma is inhaled, or applied to the skin, and each of the oils (or combination thereof) addresses a specific disorder. It appears that the body is able to utilize the healing properties of the oils through the olfactory system of the body, and so initiate the healing process. Aromatherapy practitioners would also have an understanding of the psychological and emotional factors of illness.

This website has some great information and articles about Aromatherapy.

I didn’t think silicone implants were legal again. Huh. Well, i know the “safer” and “softer” implants are waterbased. I think the best would be saline because it is soft, and if you get into an accident, and it pops, it wont kill you like silicone will.

How old are you? Circumcizion as an adult is strongly discouraged.

Chloe Adisson answers:

What you want to look for is a board certified plastic surgeon certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery. A good surgeon will not just try to talk you into surgery for the sake of taking your money either. They will try to find out the reasons for your decision for a consultation and tell you all the risks and benefits of the surgery it’s self. Check with the ABPS for a certified surgeon in your area.

Chloe Adisson answers:

My underbite was really bad in childhood, and orthodontia helped considerably (and might have helped more if I had done the things consistently as I was told).

But if you are an adult, then I’m pretty sure the surgery is the only option because that’s the only way to change the size of the mandible. I’m sure it hurts! After all, when I had an impacted tooth removed, that really hurt, too! But once the recovery is complete, you will probably be glad you did it.

Go for some consultations with surgeons in your area. Ask for references and if there are any patients whom you could discuss the experience with.

Chloe Adisson answers:

I’m doing the HCG diet right now following the 21 Day program from http://prohcgdiet.com So far it is working nicely. I take the drops 3 times a day and eat the very strict 500 calorie diet. Its been about 10 days and ive lost 10.2 lbs. The results are fast and i feel great. I think i look alot lighter than the 10 pounds shows. As far as side effects, i have not encountered any so far, except that if you stray from the diet it will not work at all. It even causes you to gain weight if you drink alcohol or eat to much sugar/carbs. Also, you cannot exercise heavily or your body will go into starvation mode and hold fat.

Im hoping to lose another 10 lbs. In the 11 days i have left in this cycle. If you decide to try it, you just have to be very dedicated and DO NOT CHEAT, no matter how badly you want a cheeseburger!

Good luck!
