question about a supp for my wife...

[tgspeedracer]

just curious about hcg my wife heard about it through a friend, does work good for fat/weight loss? she heard u can loss 20 pds in 3 weeks, that it is safe and easy?

[redbirdfan1]

Its not a supp first off. 2nd from what I recall of the Hcg protocol diet it requires very very little cals like super low, and sub-q injections. if she goes on it be prepared to hate life esp if she likes to eat and thats why she wants to drop the lbs

Losing 20lbs in 3 weeks does not seem safe & easy, esp. if you plan on keeping it off. I'm not saying there aren't people out there that have done it with long term results, but the only people I personally know who have lost 20+lbs and kept it off did so at a much slower rate.

I'm amenable to being corrected by those who know better, but I think reasonable & safe would amount to 2-3lbs lost per week through appropriate dietary shift, weight training and cardio.

I assume you mean human chorionic gonadotropin?

Yeah, absolutely not.

Yes thats what hes talking about, and yes it is used for fat loss.

I feel the same way, that this is not the way to do it right. This seems to be the way to do it one step short of surgery, may be a last option.

If anyone has any good info on this so I can present it to her

I work with a lady that is currently doing 2 shots a week of it.. She has lost 70 lbs in the past 6 months. She is taking that, plus doing an extremely low cal diet.. in my opinion, it doesnt seem that healthy. her diet is 2 protein shakes a day, plus a weight watchers meal for dinner, and a lot of water.. thats pretty much it. she does the injections 2 times a week upon waking up. She raves about it, but it seems pretty extreme

[tgspeedracer]

thats not enough calories for a rat much less a human

Before we start talking surgery, what is her current weight / height?

[N01SYtZ]

tell ur bish to do some cardio and clean up her diet

[tgspeedracer]

5'4" at 135. its not her so much as her friends are going to do it and they are pressuring her. So I am fighting her and her friends

WTF She is willing to risk the dangers and complications of surgery when shes 5`4 @ 135? That is "TINY", my girl is 5`0 110, and she is tiny as hell. Aint much difference there bro.. Does she have a specific problem area, loose skin from pregnancy, etc? that she wants gone? That I could understand because problems like that can really affect your mentally. It doesn't matter how much weight you lost, if you have saggy skin, u will never be proud of yourself. I see it at the gym i work at all the time.

[tgspeedracer]

she did have a kid, and has never fully recovered from it and loose skin left over. I already have her convinced but her friends are still planning on doing it and I would like to explain to them why this is not the best option

[devildog_99]

did Oprah recommend this or did Kevin Trudeau?
People are losing weight on it because of the calorie restriction NOT because of the injections.

From the quick research I found there are "pregnancy-like" symptoms,nausea tender breasts, etc.


just tell her to do an experiment. While her friends are injecting and eating 500 calories a day... tell your lady to eat 1200-1500 and do some cardio 6 days a week. I bet she comes out on top and more toned as well.

I am starting my girl on a balanced 1300 cal per day diet and doing p90x

Good man.

good choice

if you want to put her on anything maybe ECA but start dosing slow and be smart about it. You can pick up Bronkaid which has the ephedrine in it online.

This is a bad idea. You should lay down the law and tell her to lose the weight the old fashioned way (blood sweat and tears in the gym).
