hcg dosage
I have started the sublingual hcg today and noticed that the instructions say to take .5cc twice daily. I have the 10000IU vial and mixed 29cc of the hcg mixture. It is to last 28-30 days.
I took .5cc of it and will take .5cc again later today. Did I do this right?

Some people have reported that the breadstick or rice crackers did impede their weight loss.

Justjan,
I am adding to some of my meals broth and the allowed noodles.
About 2 cups of broth.
Its really filling and I am finding I can't eat it all in one setting.
Im feeling pretty good today and have lost 7 pounds in 6 days.
I hope the weight loss continues at this rate.
I have tried a rice cracker or 2 but am worried it could
slow my progress.

Well today is day 6 of the 500 calorie part of taking HCG. I have lost 9.5 lbs and my fasting blood sugar (I'm diabetic) has been around 110. I am not experiencing the "I can't eat" feeling that I am reading about. I am not feeling starved but I don't have the satisfied feeling of haveing enough to eat either. I really can live with this due to my excitement of weight loss!!!!! I can hardly believe this is really happening. I AM loosing weight!!!!!

I would be happy to help with a testimonial. Do you want me to email it to you?

That is wonderful news! I am so thrilled. Shawna would you be willing to send your testimonial for us to publish to support@enlita.com with your name, city, state and profession? (you can use fake name if you prefer).
Results so Far
I have been on the HCG sublingual protocol for three weeks now. The blood sugar issues seem to have stabilized somewhat though I still have to have a protein shake in the morning. I have lost 18.5 pounds - which is pretty good. I am actually starting to feel smaller and none of my pants fit - hurray!
Surprisingly, the best part about this is that my 20 year old daughter decided to do the protocol with me. She has lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and feels great. This has done so much for her self esteem that after months of not dating, she has three guys calling her to ask her out in one week. :D

Sometimes people who are obese (vs. slightly overweight) do better on the protocol.
Drink more fiber throughout the day! It's an appetite suppressant.

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly!!! I am doing the HCG sublingually, I have not done the fiber drinks but I did do miracal noodles. I don't know what BMI is or how to figure it. I did follow the loading instructions 4 days before I started the HCG and 3 days after. I gained 3 lbs. Thanks for all your support!!!!! Janice

Hello this is my first day of VLCD and Im doing okay.
I couldnt eat all of my apple so I halved it and saved the rest for later
as a snack.
I feel tired mostly this afternoon.
I was wondering in regards to the Homeopathic HCG when to take the
liquitropics? Right before you eat? While you are eating or after eating?
Also, in regards to the dropper dosing.
I take my first round first thing in the am.
But not sure when to take the second round.
Is noon okay or later on like 3 pm a better time?
hcg dosage
1. Which type of HCG are you taking?
2. I have heard the 1st 3 days are the worst.
3. Are you doing fiber drinks 6-8 times a day?
4. Simeons recommends a dose of 125 IU per day for injections (250 IU sublingual) so you can increase it a bit but don't go too far beyond that.
5. What is your BMI?
6. Did you follow the loading instructions?
7. Some people do not do well on this protocol. You will know after a week if it is right for you.

Well I finally got started with the HCG! I can't wait until Thursday to hear all of everyones results. This is my first day of the 500 calories and I am really hungry!!!! I made a soup with alittle broth, ground beef (the allowable amount) spinach, onion, garlic, cilantro, parsley and some seasonings. I added a bag of the miracal noodle (orzo) which really helped to add some bulk! I cannot handle the larger Miracal noodles but these little "balls" are really nice! It's like having a little bean in it. Has anyone else been really hungry and when does it go away? When do you make the decision to increase the HCG by alittle bit and how much if you do??? (Dr. P --can you help with this one?)
Fiber is calorie-free, sugar free and won't help with blood
HAve you tried fiber? IN last week's telecall..they said one could have a fiber drink...might that help you? THey said you could have fiber several times a day...if hungry, constipated. But could it help your B/S as well? If you are diabetic...then I think you need extra quidance so call SUppport @ Enlita for help. Oh...and Dr. Cage, I think said, if you needed a few nuts..well them have them but your weight loss may be a bit slower? SO I would porbably use this as a last approach.IS this right?
Fiber is calorie-free, sugar free and won't help with blood sugars but will help with hunger. Protein, fat and carbs will help with blood sugars. I would recommend diabetics get a 1-on-1 session with me (LeAnn is talented but not a doctor). I would not use nuts during the 500 calorie phase. Apples, and more meat and low-carb veggies if needed but the name of the game in this phase is very low-fat (you are supposed to live off of your fat stores).
protein powder in the morning to help stabilize my blood sug
I saw in one of the newsletters where Dr. Pearsall recommended someone use a protein shake (they weren't hungry). I'm wondering if there is a way to use protein powder in the morning to help stabilize my blood sugar. I think I could mix it with strawberries, water and stevia. What do you think Dr. P? If this is possible, how would you count the protein powder?
The label states that the calorie of one scoop is 95 calories and the carbs are 2.8. You wouldn't need stevia with the chocolate or strawberry. The carb count is very low. You would simply need to account for this in your total calorie count. I think your idea is a good one although Simeons would probably disapprove because he felt it was important to allow the HCG work its magic in the morning and that the blood would be saturated with fat which would be sufficient nutrition. But I don't want anyone to go hypoglycemic on this program. It isn't worth it.
where's my brain?
HI All... I've just found JUSTJAN's note...so where is my brian? glad that you are joinning in. So you start the 26th!!! I've got just as much weight to lose...so you are not alone. Only for now I can't handle the HCG...so I have to try the Enlita PLan way. Following my ALCAT test results for delayed sensitivities and all. & got quite a few problems on my DIagnos-Techs test results to contend with. But I just loved that weight loss though on HCG! :cry:
SHAWNAB......I just reread your note and you said you were dizzy d/t low blood sugar...not potassium...how did I miss that?? So where is my brain? Anyway...Dr. Simeon said to carry 1 to 2 packets of sugar around with you for emergencies. Afterall you can't let your b/s go down too low..to dangerous level. HOw do you know it's your Bld sugar? From S&S or do you actually check it? I had a spell of hypoglycemia last night..very shakey. Took my b/s and it was 78. SUrprised I was having such S. @ 78.
Rather than the sugar I wonder if you could take raw honey; but of course that is not as portable as a packet of sugar. ANd I wouldn't want it spilling in mypurse. ANd I would only take sugar if it were really bad. Of course how do you define bad....and bad can come on quickly! Dr. Simeons says the b/s problem usually stops after day 4 or something like that...so are you still having problems? (But of course you have to treat it if it's bad.) DO you have a PCP following you?
I think someone did say you could do a protein drink. Could you then
add the L. fruit to that? ..just don't have the fruit at L. then. Stevia is permissable. HAve you tried fiber? IN last week's telecall..they said one could have a fiber drink...might that help you? THey said you could have fiber several times a day...if hungry, constipated. But could it help your B/S as well? If you are diabetic...then I think you need extra quidance so call SUppport @ Enlita for help. Oh...and Dr. Cage, I think said, if you needed a few nuts..well them have them but your weight loss may be a bit slower? SO I would porbably use this as a last approach.IS this right? does anyone else remember this.
I would try to post your ? in the "ASk the Dr." Forum...they may spot your ? faster there.
DAWN: OMGosh!!! How did you ever make that dish and still not eat it??!! I am like SO proud of you. YOUR MOtivation and determination will push my butt in gear to lose the weight!! HAve you heard of Dr. ALan Hirsch MD?? He's been on Oprah.
DIrector of the (I don't know the exact title) Neurological Smell Institute.
He's been researching smell for years and started w/ certain tubes of smells to help people lose weight. ONe smell was the smell of green apple, if I am right...fritos was another...oh boy...could I smelll that scent now..but I regress! JUst by smelling your food before eating it can help you lose weight. In his last book.he recommends that we really smell our food before we eat it.
I'm not sure why you lose weight....if you smell the food first...one eats less of it?? Is the body tricked into thinking it issatisfied? (can you tell I didn't read the book yet?) They originally discovered that those who lost their sense of smell...gainned alot of weight! Fascinating subject!
Anyway..back to being SuperProud of you!
Hope you are all well and had a nice weekend...........jotales

Small Can of V-8 Juice
NOt sure if this would be quite "legal" or what the Enlita Drs. think about it...but I did come accross an HCG website that recommended one drink a small can of v-8 juice everyday to maintain potassium levels. SInce salt is not restricted on the Simeons diet V-8 juice has quite a bit)...maybe it's OK considering the rest of the ingredients. I checked out the Low Sodium version..but there was some other ingredients other than the veggies that I wouln't drink. Can't remember what it was though, but I didn't ruled that version out.
hcg dosage
Shawna, the weight loss can be 2 pounds a day in the beginning. By the 6th day it should slow down. I think the potassium pill is a good idea. Simeons beleives everyone should skip breakfast but not everyone can do that. You may even need some protein in the morning too (subtract it from your dinner amount.)
hcg dosage
Thanks. I'll try your suggestion. This is leaving me wasted the rest of the day.
to Shawnab
Yes I did have dizziness one day and I took a potassium/magnesium pill..actually I took 2 because I was very dizzy. It has happened to me before when I was low on potassium. It cured the problem and the next day I just took one pill. After that, I have been fine but I do have the apple in the morning for breakfast.
Hope that helps. Flgranny33
Questions about blood sugar levels
Hi all,
This is my third day on the very low calorie diet portion of the program. I have lost 6 pounds. That seems like too much but I am eating the 500 calories per day. I am experiencing low blood sugar in the morning - almost to the point where I am dizzy so I started eating one fruit in the morning. Anyone else having this problem? Any advice? ShawnaB

Hi Justjan,
Jotales, Flgranny33, and I have been quite chatty about our experience with the hCG protocol. Hopefully others will join in as well. We all have something of value to share with each other!
Don't be stressed about mixing. It is really well laid out and explained. And any of us here will answer questions. I wrote up my own notes for a step by step mixing process and if you want can send it to you by PM.
I also ordered enough to take the hCG 3 times sub lingual. I have 100 pounds to lose and hope to get halfway there (at least) with the amount I have ordered. I am placing ALL my hopes on this protocol, so I think I can relate to how bad you want it, too. I am pretty determined! Like you, I have rearranged my life around optimal results with this protocol.
Do you have a family to cook for? That's been my hardest thing . . . the wonderful aromas!! I may have no appetite and I am most certainly not hungry (or thirsty), but there ain't nothing wrong with my nose!! Too bad hCG doesn't omit the sense of SMELL!
You just fire away with your questions and I am sure you'll have a bunch of us chiming in to help!

To JustJan
Hi to you! Glad you are starting.
Do you have the homeopathic hcg or the sublingual?
I am on day 7 and have lost 5.5 llbs. I feel very good and am not hungry...though I did catch myself once wanting food when I had a family crisis. But I was able to resist which is a first for me!

You ladies need to be diligent in posting so I can learn everything!!!! I am really nervous about the mixing end of it. I will be starting Nov 26th. What has the weight loss been so far? How much are you hoping for? I ordered enough to do this 3 times due to I have 80 lbs. to loose. I can't tell you how bad I want to be successful at this!!! I have cancelled all activity that even remotely involves food so there is no temptation for the next 8 weeks. I'm praying for your success! Do the same for me!!!!
hcg dosage
I am trying to eat, really I am! But it just sticks right and doesn't want to go down. :shock:
I have been having small meals all day with as much good fat as I can work in. Avocado with everything! Olive oil drizzled over or raw butter. Tonight I am making my family's favorite potato dish-basically a few potatoes with cream, butter, fresh rosemary, and LOTS of parmesan and asagio cheese and serving that with wild caught salmon fillet (smothered in butter!). Broccoli from the garden (the last of it!). You guessed it . . . smothered in garlic butter!. I am taking leftovers of all of this to my classes tomorrow (I teach knitting). Whatcha think?? Am I loading enough? I can hardly get it down!
One thing is for sure, I am thirsty as all get out and drinking water like a fish!
Hugs to you both! I guess this makes us the 3 Musketeers or something, eh?

Homeopathic HCG
flgranny33......happy to see you starting. so us 3 are on the same days but I am taking the homeopathic HCG. My B/P is up today so this will be i nteresting. I'm feeling sort of full but can't say I had to force myself to eat. Having touble getting the water in. Good Luck to Us! jotales
to Dawn
o yeah..you're right..it's 30 ml. I forgot about the B12.
I too had problems mixing. I put in 15 ml of air and it should have been 30ml. You'd think I would know..I am a lab tech from way back!!! :oops:
So far today..I have had fatty foods but I am stuffed and am very warm..almost like a fever but not one. The same thing happened when I took fucothin..it revs up the metabolism. That's good tho, right??
Still have to eat dinner and I do need to drink more water.
Talk to you tomorrow and we can compare notes.

hcg dosage
Flgranny33-
I mixed mine up almost the same. I also ordered the 10,000iu and I am using the Enlita recommendation of 166iu twice daily as well.
I mixed up 30 ml though: 1 ml of CS to reconstitute the hCG, 28 ml CS added to that in the mixing vial, and then 1 ml of B12=30 ml.
I will take .5 ml 2 times daily (approx 12 hours apart), and if my mixing procedure had gone smoother, I should have 30 days of dosing. I am thinking I will be happy if it lasts the minimum of 23!
Glad were all on board together!
