I lost over 50 lbs on the hcg diet. I stopped the hcg diet started eating bad from may -july and gained about 12 pounds. I started eating healthy and counting my calories on saturday and as of monday i have lost 5lbs. Its just my self control which it seems as if i have finally gotten under control!

Hello and welcome! I have been trying the hcg diet recently but am going back to plain old calorie counting. I was so hungry all the time and the hcg drops seemed to make it feel worse rather than better I would feel very hungry right after taking the drops and it wouldn't get better until a couple hours after the drops were taken, then once I took them again i would be hungry again.

Anyway, I lasted three days on it but am going to calorie counting now. I just can't feel hungry like that or I will end up binging.

I hope you are able to figure out a good transition to non-hcg eating now. You have already lost a good bit of weight, that is amazing.

Thanks I did the hcg injections. i did not feel hungry at all... but im burned out on the food.. i may do one last round.. in september...but i realize that the hcg is a temporary fix it got over 50lbs off but i need a lifestyle change something that i can maintain....

I'm glad you're gonna try something healthy now. It's true, that that kind of weight loss is not sustainable. Maybe try calorie counting? I've found that's one of the easiest methods of keeping track of your food, and no food is truly forbidden (though, of course, that doesn't mean you should consume 1200 calories of chocolate, haha).
