Hcg Questions Answered

Paul asks…

HCG levels are down after miscarriage, when did your period start?

I have been taking preg. tests to see the how fast HCG levels were decreasing after my miscarriage. Finally it looks like my are negative, I’m wondering how soon my period will start? I miscarried on July 12 and it took about 12 days for my preg. test to be close to negative. Any past experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

:

Im sorry for loss hun,i had a miscarrige on april the 20th and my period started on may the 8th,
Some take longer to appear be guided by your body

Mark asks…

how long after a miscarriage and will I start my period?

I had a ms on the 16th of march and my hcg has been back to normal since the 22nd. How long will it be before I ovulate? Have a period? Is it true im more fertile now?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Hi

Im sorry for your lost. I miscarried my angel baby feb 15 and Im yet to get my first menstrual. I dont want it either seeing as though we are actively trying. Baby dust to you and good luck.

Charles asks…

What level of HCG do the have?

I took it a couple days after my missed period(negative), but now its 4 days going on 5. Is the HCG level in the dollar store tests higher to detect making it harder? Where should my level of HCG be and what level test should i take now being 5 days late?

Chloe Adisson answers:

At five days late if you were pregnant you would get a positive. The only other thing you could do it take a blood test. I order that you can test starting 7 days past ovulation from earlypregnancytests.com and i found out that i was pregnant 5 days past ovulation so i didn’t have to wait to see if my period was late. I am now 6 weeks pregnant we had been trying for so long some months i could have swore i was pregnant but it was all in my head. I finally conceived using and found out that i was ovulating a lot later than i thought so we were completely missing the boat.

Betty asks…

What are the hcg levels like typically after vanishing twin syndrome?

I had a miscarriage.My hCG level has gone from strongly positive to faintly, barely positive with an early detection first response test after my miscarriage.Some suggest it could be VTS. But how could it be if the HCG levels are so low and declining? I had heavy bleeding during my miscarriage for 5 days and passed grey and brown tissue and experienced a lot of pain.

Chloe Adisson answers:

I lost a twin to VTS about 5 weeks ago. My levels were never tested after I lost the twin, but from what I have read, the levels don’t decrease they just don’t continue to go up as fast as they did with twins. I didn’t have any signs or symptoms of a miscarriage, but I was told that I might. Did they not do an ultrasound to check things? We found out that one of the babies had stopped developing during a follow-up ultrasound. The other baby was still there and growing right on schedule. My advice would be to phone your doctor and ask them. Maybe there will do a scan and see if anything is still in there. Good luck.

Robert asks…

What is the best way to inject hcg for weight loss?

I just ordered some hCG for my but im not sure what im doing here, has anyone got any tips.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Where did you buy it from?

Most people inject in the butt but you can also get hcg that you put under your tongue which is much easier.

You can find the injection method here – http://www.youtube.com/user/tawdry2some

and more information about the hcg diet and weblogs can be found here – http://www.drugdelivery.ca/hcg-challenge.aspx

i hope this helps.

Detoxify Or Die Questions Answered

Share

Betty asks…

What’s the deal with the ?

It seems like everyone attacks dieting with lectures on anorexia and bulimia. I just read about someone wanting to reduce their caloric intake to between 300-400 calories a day and she only got one actual answer, the rest were comments “You’re going to die.” Granted, the question seemed extreme, and there was more desperation behind it than anything else…but if you consider the alternative…obesity is just as deadly. Atherosclerosis, Myocardial Infarction, Diabetes..and the list goes on and on. Overeating is just as serious, if not worse. Then, when you consider the countless websites that talk about “fasting” for 30 days on WATER ALONE for weight loss and body detoxification, how can you justify what’s healthy and what’s not? Starving yourself for thirty days is acceptable if you’re doing it to detoxify your body…but cutting your caloric intake down is anorexic? It was my understanding that your body had three sources of energy…glucose, glucagon, and fat. Once your body is starved of glucose and glucagon, it turns to its fat store, and you lose weight. EVENTUALLY, your body will eat away at its muscles, but not before the fat..Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. I’m not anorexic or bulimic, nor do I approve of such behaviors. I just see people seeking being shunned for it. I’m just trying to understand why.
I’m not looking for dieting advice either. I don’t have a weight problem.

:

Haha. You sound really really educated about this kind of stuff.

I think people are being criticiced for seeking diet advice because in my expierence with Yahoo Answers alot of the people are Underweight already and still they want to lose more weight. When you thing about it there are 11 and 12 year olds on this site wanting to know if the Master Cleanse or drinking grapefruit juice all day will help them lose weight.

And usually people are not shunned for asking for diet advice when they actually need it. Like if there overweight or obese, buy yeah that happens a lot. People tend to lecture people on stuff like that because it’s preventable. Just like obesity is, however there are more questions that pertain more to low weight.

Just my opinion :]
And yes, I agree with everything you said.

Donald asks…

Who would do this?

By Detoxing and Rejuvenating your Mind, Body and Spirit,

1. You allow yourself to heal from any toxins that have been held inside your body,
2. You allow your Mind to release any harsh feelings or Sad emotions,
3. You allow your Spirit to become open and free. Once you ahve Detoxified and Rejuvenated your Mind Body and Spirit,
4. You can finally Allow yourself to enjoy real Homeostasis.

(Homeostasis: Optimal Well being, Optimal Health, At a point in your life when all is ok, and righht with you Physically, Mentally, Emotionall, and Spiritually.)

Stress can make any disorder worse. May it be Mental Emotional or physical. Stress is when you worry way too much about things that can be fix with a little effort on your own personal part.
Stress has been proven to cause serious health risks, such as heart disease, Endurance Problems, Fatigue, Emotional Imbalances, etc.
There are options to dealing stress and weight loss. Such as Detox plans and rejuvenation Plans, as the one I have enclosed.

I definitely stress that you consult your physician, about anything new or changes in your daily regimine. As this plan will affect other areas of your Daily living and Medications.

————————————————————————————-
One month detox and rejuvenation plan

a), Drink lots of water

b) lay off the sodas, beer, tea, coffee, etc

c) Basically go on a water fast(drink water only and no food), for 7days consecutively.

d)for even more detoxifying effects, maybe sit in a Sauna for about 20-30 minutes, twice during your 7day detox(once when during day two and once during day four), allowing your pores to open up and allow the toxins to come out.

STEP TWO: Rejuvenate (Goes hand in hand with step one, done during the entire month and future days) (If you are under the age of 18 with a proper ID, You have to be accompanied by a parent to any Spa or Massage Clinic.)

If anything at all try to eat as organic as you can possibly eat. IF you read a lables Ingrediants list, and you can’t pronounce the words then it is toxic for your Body, and Mind, and

Chloe Adisson answers:

Good idea but…. I love to eat and coul not get past the water fast

Laura asks…

When did people start using the word “toxin” to refer to waste?

When I was in middle school, “toxin” meant something that could reliably be used by an animal, in small doses, to kill another animal. Or otherwise something that was fatal in small doses. “Toxic”, too, had an implied lethality.

Now, it means any substance that can cause discomfort. Also, when people talk about using diuretics such as tea to flush waste from the body, people say they are “detoxifying” and “flushing toxins” from their bodies.

The way other people use that word and the way I use the word are incompatible, since if there were enough toxins in your body for a cup of green tea to have a noticeable effect on their level, you would be long since dead and should probably be walled off so that other people don’t touch you and die as well.

So when exactly did this change?

Chloe Adisson answers:

At least in the UK, it seems to have started in the early 1990s.

I had a look in NewsBank (the UK and archive), and until around 1992 there were several dozen hits in papers a year, all using it in the trad scientific sense. Then over about a decade it creeps up to 2000+ hits, either using it to refer to general pollutants or (mostly) the fictitious poisons that “detoxifying” is alleged to remove.

Richard asks…

Wouldn’t it be great if a kind of penicillin for mental health were developed?

In physical health, before antibiotics, people with infections had to rely on their immune systems to fight certain diseases. Many times nature didn’t do such a good job, and people got really sick or died. But now that we have antibiotics, you just take a pill for a few days, and you’re totally cured. Modern medicine has done better than the body’s natural disease-fighting abilities.

In mental health, we’re not so advanced yet. People with “infections,” in the form of , suffer for years or lifetimes – depression, OCD, addictions, even suicide. The cures are still relatively primitive. Talk therapy can take a long time to resolve problems. Medications like antidepressants control the symptoms, but they don’t really cure the underlying emotional issues.

Wouldn’t it be great if someone developed a way to quickly detoxify the brain? I’ve imagined that if someone could study brain waves of what happens in therapy, and then stimulate the brain in the same way, maybe people could have quick and lasting relief from their emotional problems. Nowadays some doctors do use electroconvulsive therapy, but that’s sort of like hitting the reset button on a computer, and the problems can come back. I wish there was a more controlled, painless way to free people from painful emotional conditions for good.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Were working on it.

Jenny asks…

Should I start smoking pot again?

PLEASE READ BEFORE ANSWERING!

I’ll try to make it short and sweet. PLEASE HELP!

Any ways. I’ve always had problems socially. I never really fit in due to my awkward personality and horrible social graces. I just had a disposition people didn’t like as a young girl. Growing up I had friends but being so problematic we parted ways or we’d just stop talking. I started smoking pot when I was 15, roughly a month before my 16th birthday (I am 21 now) and at first it made me a giggling, happy, social butterfly and I enjoyed it alot. But later on it started making me paranoid and giving me anxiety and it made me think of death and just became a scary , unenjoyable thing. It made me paranoid about people and very self-conscious about how I looked. But for some reason I kept doing it. It came to a point where I could only smoke pot alone because around other people I couldn’t enjoy myself cause my anxiety would go out of control. Alone I didn’t get too anxious but I still felt some anxiety there. It gave me horrible anxiety, I’ve ALWAYS had anxiety, but I feel pot amplified it. The reason I would keep smoking pot is because I wanted it to be the way it was when I first started and I thought maybe I’m just going through a phase with it and eventually I’ll start enjoying it again, and once in a blue moon it would give me that good feeling so I was willing to roll the dice and smoke pot just to possibly get that feeling again….

Long story short. I am a loner with no social skills. I dont know where I went wrong to end up like that but I feel the pot didn’t help and got my anxiety out of whack.

I want to work on becoming social and less of a neurotic anxious freak. I quit smoking pot but i’m thinking, the weed already did its damage… What good will it do to stop now?

If I keep off weed will I detoxify? Will all those weird paranoid thoughts I have unravel and will my brain go back to normal?

Will quiting really help me become more “normal?”

Chloe Adisson answers:

Well, you shouldn’t smoke pot in the first place. It only gives you a false sense that you’re happy and okay and that your life isn’t like it really is. Quit smoking it. Maybe if you start joining more clubs and really, really, trying to socialize, you might feel it lot better. Good luck!

Hcg Diet Protocol Questions Answered

Share

William asks…

Why am I gaining weight on the HCG Diet (in Phase 2)?

I’ve successfully lost 29 lbs on phase 2 (40 day protocol) of the HCG diet and weighed myself last night only to find that i gained 1.8 lbs! This morning, I gained another 2 pounds! didn’t cheat at all and my period isn’t due for another week. Has anyone experienced weight gain a week before their period was due? That’s the only thing I could think of that could cause me to gain almost 2 pounds. This is very discouraging. I do the injections and I’ve been very strict about what I eat, not straying from the plan. Will not drinking enough water cause you to gain? I used a clean and clear mask on my face and also use Aveeno products. Has anyone experienced this or can offer help???

:

Its been 3 days now so you have prob gotten through your plateau. One thing that kills people is salt, it makes you retain a lot of water which can throw you off. Don’t worry about the small spikes, if you stay on the plan it is 100% water weight you are gaining, stick it out and you will be in for some BIG loss days after you shed the water. Keep Going!

Ruth asks…

HCG Diet Questions….Women may have answers?

I’m starting my 3rd week on the HCG Protocol. I called the company where I get my sublingual drops from and they said do not take the drops on your period. So I stopped when my period arrived, but my period has been way longer this time, longer than it ever is. I usually have it for 3-4 days and this has lasted a week now. Do I need to start taking the drops again? I know they say when you menstruate you should stop taking the drops due to immunity. But since my period has gone on so long, should I start the drops to get them back into my system? I have had a stall during my period, this past week I’ve only lost 3lbs, which is really frustrating. I am on the pill, would that have anything to do with it?? I’m kinda freaked out that it’s lasted this long!!

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Morgan, if you are taking homeopathic HCG drops, there is no reason for you to stop taking them while you are on your period. You should continue your drops right away.

Having a stall in losses during your period is normal. Frustrating, yes…but, nothing to be concerned with, the losses WILL continue.

It is also quite normal for you period to be a bit irregular while taking HCG. Again, this is nothing to be concerned with.

Continue taking your drops and following VLCD. Your losses will continue.

Laura asks…

500 calorie diet VS. HCG?

OK I am on the HCG 500 calorie diet and I love it. BUT I want to know why its unhealthy to only eat 500 calories YET on the HCG protocol its ok. IDK I am one week in and I have lost about 9 pounds. Now I am only 5 feet tall and well over 200lb. I have droped weight on other diets but always gain it back and more but with this I have really gotten motovated and I want this. But why do i hear negativity about the 500 yet the HCG is HUGE

Chloe Adisson answers:

A 500 calorie diet is dangerous because your body needs more than 500 calories to maintain itself for normal functions.

If you are a sedentary woman who weighs 200 lbs, then to maintain that weight you would need about 2400 calories a day. To lose weight safely you should eat less calories than that, but according to “Lose It For Life,” by Stephen Arterburn, M.Ed., and Dr. Linda Mintle, “you should NEVER go below 1,500 calories per day unless under the supervision of a doctor.”

Losing so much weight so quickly can actually hurt your body. I don’t know the difference between the two diets you mentioned, but you shouldn’t have to hurt your body to lose weight, and the safest way to lose weight is to do so slowly. Because you aren’t very tall and do weigh over 200 lbs, you will probably lose weight faster than someone like me, who is 6 inches taller and closer to 30 lbs overweight, because proportionally you have more to lose. That’s not my way of bragging, I’m just letting you know that you will probably lose weight pretty quickly at first on a healthy diet that your doctor approves. This will probably slow down after a while, and you’ll certainly need to add physical activity to the mix.

Sandy asks…

HCG makeup questions…?

Yes…I know I ask a million questions. I was wondering if anyone knows if L’oreal Voluminous Original mascara is ok on the hcg diet protocol. If not does anyone know of a mascara that IS ok. I would like to be able to get it at a store rather than ordering online. What about Nail Polish? Also, if a product says “oil free” does that mean it’s ok to use…or are there additional ingredients that I need to look for in it? Thanks, everybody, for your input. I really appreciate it!!

Chloe Adisson answers:

I looked up the ingredients in that mascara for you (link in sources) and there doesn’t appear to be anything in them that would potentially interfere with your HCG diet.

When looking at personal care products, starting with “oil free” products is a good start – but you need to go a bit deeper than that and actually look at the ingredients in the product. You want to avoid products with any type of oil/fat/lard in them as well as the following ingredients:

sorbitol, lanolin, petroleum jelly, propelyne glycol, petrolatum, and sodium lauryl sulfate.

To help you find personal care products, I’ve also put a link to a handy PDF that has several VLCD safe options for you.

Best of luck in your weight loss journey!

Betty asks…

Question about the HCG diet?

If you know what the protocol is all about, I am wondering why a person (after say, eating 200 calories worth of “cheat” or “bad” food)would gain 2 lbs.

If the plan is to eat 500 calories, and because the hcg DOESNT screw up your metabolism……….

how the heck could you gain just from 700 calories!? That’s still undereating! I’m so confused.

Please help if you know about the HCG diet.

I’m not following it, im just researching it.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Maybe the food that person ate was salty or sugary – both retain water in the tissues.

Forget HCG…
“500-calories per day is severely restrictive! In fact, it is not enough calories to support normal brain function. Your body will compensate by using stores of glycogen, protein (muscle) and some fat, which lowers your resting metabolism. Before you can lose true weight, you will be so irritable, lightheaded, and cranky that you’ll reach for whatever food you can get your hands on and have a field day.

There is no scientific evidence supporting HCG as a weight loss strategy. The FDA has required all marketing and advertising of HCG to state the following: “HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or ‘normal’ distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.”

Hcg Drops Questions Answered

Share

Robert asks…

Is HCG drops is good for use while pregnant.Which are the functions of hCG during pregnancy?

Is HCG drops is good for use while pregnant.Which are the functions of hCG during pregnancy?

:

You don’t need to take HcG drops. The placenta produces all that is needed during pregnancy.

Donald asks…

How long does it take to get Hcg out of your system on Hcg drops?

I have been taking the drops for about two weeks how long should it take got the hcg to get out of my system after I discontinue?

Chloe Adisson answers:

You probably didn’t get any real hcg anyway.
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 at the pharmacy last week and the product on the shelf there stated right on the box – “does not contain hcg hormone but a similar amino acid”.
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.
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.

Check out these clips before going further. Just aired a few weeks ago.

Http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/weight-loss-controversy-hcg-diet-pt-1

I was disappointed that Dr. Oz didn’t dismiss it completely but he obviously wants to pursue it further.

Thomas asks…

How do i know if my hcg drops are real?

Ive been hearing about most hcg drops containing little to no hcg in them. Is there a way to test them? I think you can test them on a pregnancy strip. If that is true i dont have any.

Luke -when are you going to give it up?

Why aren’t you telling people you are a 13 year old diabetic using this junk science?

Mark asks…

How do you predict the HCG drops will work for me?

I’m considering taking the HCG drops for about 1-2 months… Please don’t tell me they won’t work, I’ve heard way too many people say they do. Anyway, if you weigh more do you loose weight faster? I weigh 225 (yea I know, I’m a hippo :P ) so how much in the timespan would one predict that I’d lose?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Www.purehcgdiet.com is where I get mines…..Ive been on it since May 28 & Ive lost exactly 15lbs and Ive cheated 2x. Your going to hear people say it doesn’t work and some that says it does…you have to make that decision. Its a gamble but so far Im winning.

Sure looks like a spam question to me.
If it isn’t, here is the results of your “free” sample. Taken from the website. Nice hook.

Terms and Conditions
Try HCG Diet Risk Free When you order the Trial. Your credit card will be charged $7.95 for shipping and handling. You will have 14 days from your original purchase date to decide if HCG Diet is right for you. If you are enjoying HCG Diet do nothing and at the end of your 14 day trial period you will be charged the low rate of only $98.89 for the bottle you received. If you find HCG Diet is not right for you, simply cancel within 14 days of your original purchase date and you will not be charged.

Approximately 30 days from your original purchase date and every 30 days thereafter you will be sent another fresh 1 month supply of HCG Diet and your credit card on file will be billed the Member’s Only price of $68.89. That’s 30% off the regular price for a 1 month supply of HCG Diet. You may cancel your membership at any time by simply contacting customer service. Please remember, most customers see most noticeable results by using HCG Diet consistently for 3 months.

So if you don’t cancel 14 days from the day you !!!ORDER!!! They are going to get popped for a total of $106. With no legal recourse.
The FTC is going after the con artists selling acai berry this way. Hcg will be next.

John asks…

Does the HCG diet actually work? Is it safe?

I’ve been reading a lot about the HCG diet and there are mixed reviews. I just wanted to hear what people who may be taking it now have to say about it. I really want to try it, but I’m scared.
I have about 60 pounds I want to lose.

Chloe Adisson answers:

I lost 16 pounds in 24 days with the Hcg diet I bought form prohcgdiet.com The Hcg deit in general starts out with 2 days of “loading” which means you can eat anything you want and as much as you want! I did burgers, pizza, ice cream, fried chicken and more. Talk about feeling guilty!

Anyway, on day 3 I started the VCLD (very low calorie diet). On day 4 I woke up to a 3lb loss and then the next day it was almost 2 pounds! When you are dropping weight like that it real easy to stay motivated. I cheated some and still had great weight loss results. I have tried a lot of different diets and this one was actually pretty easy and most of all, FAST! Good Luck!

James asks…

How effective is the HCG drops diet?

I’m wanting to gather a good amount of information about the “HCG drops” diet, but I only want to hear from those who have actually tried it.
What are the pros and cons? Was it effective (did it work or not work for you? and how so?)
What is the MAIN PURPOSE for this diet ?
Any information, reviews, advice, etc. is greatly appreciated. :)

Chloe Adisson answers:

HCG is an acronym for the hormone Human Chorio Gonadotropin, which is
found in both men and women, though pregnant women have the highest
levels of HCG in their bodies.
The HCG hormone can be made synthetically or extracted from a
pregnant woman’s urine and then processed for use by other humans.
Advocates of the HCG diet believe that, by strict dieting
and taking daily injections of HCG, people can successfully lose
weight. They say that dieters following the HCG
diet should expect to lose somewhere between a half pound and 3 pounds
(.23 to 1.36 kilograms) each day on the low-calorie, high-fiber plan.
You consume a mere 500 calories a day on this diet.
They say that that combining the
low-calorie diet with the HCG hormone injections will lead to
immediate weight loss without the common side effects of many
diets, such as hunger pains, headaches and nausea. They
believe that because the HCG injections burn fat, the hormone provides
the body with necessary energy while reducing hunger and keeping the
body out of starvation mode.
Anybody eating that little is bound to lose weight, of course, and
many people found out that injection did not make it easier to bear
hunger.
And the drug lacks substantial research, so exposing your body to such
a restrictive diet may not be in your best interests.
The original HCG diet plan is quite restrictive and particular. For
breakfast, you can have only tea or coffee without sugar. The diet
puts a one-tablespoon limit on how much milk you can consume each day,
so if you require milk with your coffee and tea, you’ll want to keep
this in mind. For lunch and dinner, you can cook 100 grams (.22
pounds) of lean meat or seafood and pair it with one vegetable from
this list of 13: asparagus, beet greens, cabbage, celery, chard,
chicory, cucumbers, fennel, green salad, onions, red radishes, spinach
and tomatoes. For lunch and dinner, you can eat one toast cracker and
an orange, apple, half a grapefruit or strawberries.
Administration of the hormone is usually through two methods — either an oral
supplement or a liquid injection.
The FDA has approved HCG injections for use in fertility issues, but not in dieting.
There are a few dangers that come with injecting HCG into your body.
As with any injected medication, the potential for blood clots exists. Some women
who have injected HCG have experienced a serious condition called
ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can be deadly.
Other less serious side effects might be headaches and
depression. Young boys taking HCG might experience premature puberty.
Pregnant or nursing women could cause harm to their
babies if the hormone is passed on.
And although advocates claim that HCG keeps the body functioning
properly, a diet of 500 calories is below any healthy amount
recommended by most doctors. Weight loss is almost guaranteed when
you’re eating so much less than the recommended daily allowance, but
you may risk your health. And although the HCG is supposed to help
with side effects, in one study the HCG injections showed no different
feelings or results than a placebo injection.

Susan asks…

Whats up with the HCG diet?

So… I made a status of mine on facebook stating that I wanted to lose weight & that I was in search of some diet/exercise partners to follow a 6wk plan with me.

I received a comment from my cousin (that I hardly ever talk to or see) & she began to tell me that her & a friend of hers is doing a 6wk program themselves and she called it the HCG Organic diet.

Now never before this have I ever even heard of this diet until she told me.

She told me that she has done this diet before & lost 40lbs in 6wks.

After searching this diet & reading reviews on it I must say that I am still a skeptic.

The diet consist of HCG injections or taking drops daily in addition to a 500 calorie a day organic diet & you don’t have to exercise.

For the record… HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropins: The major hormone secreted by the placenta. In the early stages of pregnancy.

As I have told her… It sounds like a starvation diet to me & I am very awear of the starvation diet & the consequences because I’ve did this diet for 15 days before & I lost 25lbs in that short amount of time then after the 15 days I began to slowly introduce foods back to my body but the end result was that my tummy seemed to be the place on me where it began to store fat for it didn’t know if it would ever be starved again.

I ended up gaining all of that weight back plus more.

I explained this to my cousin & she stated & I quote… After you complete the 6 weeks you continue to eat the organic foods for another 6 weeks and you slowly introduce other foods back into your diet. If you jump back into eating regular foods after the 6 weeks of course you will gain the weight back. You are (in simple form) resetting your metabolism in the 2nd six weeks to keep the weight off.

So I said to her… So is the diet actually a 12wk program? Tell me cuz? Are you hungry on this diet? Do you get dizzy? & why do a diet that would make you have to reset your metabolism afterwards just as you would need to do after a starvation diet? Im sorry but it’s pretty much sounding like a starvation diet to me except you get 500 calories more than you actually would on a starvation diet. Why not just do a organic diet, not combining it with the HCG injections that you are doing because there is no scientific evidence that the HCG even helps with the weight loss process & instead just exercise?

She says… When you eat a low calorie diet without the hcg you lose structural fat instead of the abnormal fat and your body needs the structural fat.

Yet I read a review that stated that this is not true & although this person did lose an excessive amount of weight he also lost muscle. & in his exact words he says… In my opinion, the HCG Diet is just like any other starvation diet out there today, as far as end results. Only 59% of my weight loss was actual fat. Included in that fat loss was a drop in my visceral fat– this is needed structural fat, the kind that HCG is supposed to prevent. I am here to tell you that it most certainly DID NOT protect me from losing vital fat. And it certainly didn’t protect me from losing vital muscle.

Also I read where some of the sellers are not selling you exactly what you think you are buying. The HCG is not cheap & you could be getting scammed. Wouldn’t it upset you if you found out after you spent hundreds of dollars that it really wasn’t HCG in the bottle & it was something else like maybe saline???

So of course I’d love to lose 40lbs in 6wks but I am asking all that has done this diet & it has been well over 12wks since to give me your review on it because as I said I am still skeptical???

Chloe Adisson answers:

“Krazg,” unless her body fat is less than 10 percent, she’s no where NEAR risk of starvation. Ignorance <3

Mark asks…

What are ways to detoxify your body of marijuana?

I want to help out a friend who is looking to rid themselves of the trace of weed. He wants to get clean this summer and detoxify his body and needs drinks or methods to do so.

He has a high metabolism, slim and size (around 169 and 6’1 ft tall). He only smoked for about a month atleast once of twice a week and stopped for a whole week once.

Also what are some quick methods just in case he wants to apply for jobs?

Chloe Adisson answers:

So a couple of weeks ago I came in to apply for a job and found out that they were going to drug test once I was asked in for a interview, I was worried because I had a hit of weed just that last weekend. I wanted to rid my body of any THC before the interview, but didn’t know how. I asked my boyfriend who is almost an occasional pot smoker of how to wash any remaining THC from my system. He told me that his cousin took shots of vinegar. I asked him if it worked for his cousin and my boyfriend said that when he got drug tested, the results came out negative. I took two shots of vinegar in two days, while plugging my nose; the shots went down pretty harshly, but they worked. Unfortunetly I never got drug tested after my interview, but if my cousin told me that vinegar has helped me more than once for a drug test I almost guarrentee that it will help your friend out too.

Remember though, that all bodies are different. A person who smokes all the time will have THC in their body longer than an occasional weed smoker. From doing some research most weed websites have said the same thing about how long weed stays in the body, but some have said different things about how to get rid of the body. Another handy product that has worked for a lot of weed smokers trying to rid the weed from their system, is Quick Fix. Your friend can get it online for around to twenty or maybe thirty dollars, hopefully less. Hope this helped, and good luck to your friend:-)

Michael asks…

What are some ways to detoxify your body without chemicals?

I’m not doing any of that chemical cleanser or enema stuff. What are some other ways to detoxify? I’ve be drinking distilled water, which seems to work great.

Chloe Adisson answers:

The amino acid cysteine bonds with heavy metals, so adding cysteine to your diet as a supplement or as a food is a very good idea. The wiki entry has a listing of different foods that contain higher levels of cysteine (eggs are a personal favorite of mine, for instance – good sources of protein, good source of nutrition, taste great).

Without water you can’t flush anything out, so drink lots of water. Sweating, preferably through excercise, and urination are the only ways you can “flush” anything out of your system (in the way that you mean flush).

Most chemical cleansers are combinations of different herbs that have diuretic properties. If you consume an herb that makes your urinate more, you will drink more water. Ergo, the flush. That said, why not just drink water? You’re on the right track, there. Herbs are drugs, and you should be careful about what drugs you put into your body. Just because they’re natural doesn’t mean they’re safe. Caffeine is a diuretic – drink some coffee or an energy drink if you need that kind’ve thing.

Water doesn’t have to be distilled – as long as its reasonably clean you’re okay. Your body has built in purifiers (liver, kidneys, etc), and they can handle some trace elements and a bit of salt in your water.

Enemas are a waste of time, as far as “cleansing” or “flushing” goes.

Saul

EDIT: Do NOT eat 2 cups of nutmeg! WTF are you thinking? This will accelerate your heart, could potentially make you feel like fainting or like your chest is pounding or your heart is in your throaght, you will probably get the sweats…. This is a reallly really really really bad idea. Nutmeg is an herb that is used as a spice, and is to be used carefully when cooking, and certainly not to be used in large quantities!

Jeez… Just be safe, okay? You can purify your body by eating less processed foods (no fast food!), drinking lots of water, getting plenty of good sleep, and excercising at a healthy level for your age and medical condition. There are no silver bullets, no magic compounds that will “do it all” for you, no electroshock therapy treatments at a spa that will “purify” you, it takes some dedication but it can be done.

There are a lot of people who want to take shortcuts, who don’t want to spend the time it takes to do it right. These shortcuts are either ineffective, fraudulent, or dangerous. ‘Nuff said.

James asks…

How does water detoxify your body? Is it that it just flushes you out like when you urinate or how’s it work?

I’d like to try and detoxify my body from junk food that I’ve eaten in the past. I’ve heard water is a great detoxifier. Is that all I need to do is drink lots of water to detoxify?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Water does flush out some toxins,and yes, it comes out in the Urine and also in the bowel movements But to get your digestive system flushed out you need to have a deeper cleanse.
If you would care to contact me I can put you in touch with a friend who formulates a wonderful one.
Also where do you live? I like to know that I have friends in different parts of this wide world.

Joseph asks…

What weight loss program helps you detoxify and loss weight at a good rate?

I want to detoxify my body and loss weight healthily and rapidly. I want to lose 90 lbs by the end of the year.

Chloe Adisson answers:

I did fatloss4idiots diet plan and I lost about 50 pounds in not even 3 months. And I’ve kept it off for almost 2 years now. I found it to be the easiest diet because it pretty much told you what you could and couldn’t eat and you didn’t have to count points or anything like that. What I lost really isn’t typical for the amount of time I did it but I know others who have done it and they got really good results from it as well.
