Why HCG Forums Are So Effective!

2012-01-25T22:35:00.000-10:00

Do You Know Why It Is So Helpful To Visit An HCG Forum While On This Diet?

While on the HCG Diet any good advice that you get can really be beneficial to your success.

And these days with the help of the world wide web, there are many different ways that you can get good HCG Diet tips.

Some of the places you might turn to for help would be Facebook, Blogs and of coarse the various different HCG forums.

But in what ways can an HCG Forum help you to succeed on this diet?

Well first of all you can get support from other members, ask questions, get recipes, and just be part of the HCG Diet community.

But the main thing that makes an HCG Forum so great is the knowledgeable members that are there to help you day in and day out.

Because even though you can learn a lot from your doctor about following the protocol, there is one thing that most doctors lack ... experience in doing the diet.

And if you ask me, nothing can take the place of talking to someone who has actually done the diet.

Here are just some of the helpful topics being discussed in our HCG Forum right now.

Where to get HCG online
Having an HCG Diet Buddy
Getting discouraged
Sore throat and voice loss
Being an HCG Diet Newbie
The 800 calorie diet

And there are many other discussions going on at any given time. So if you have unanswered questions about the diet, be sure to ask them over at our HCG Diet forum. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how informative it actually is. The best part is that no HCG Diet topic is off limits.

Do you have a doctor helping you through the HCG Diet?

Get An Entire Team Of HCG Diet Coaches On Your Side

2012-01-23T19:52:00.001-10:00

How Would You Like To Have An Entire Team Of People Helping You Through The HCG Diet?

Whether you are brand new to the HCG Diet or a seasoned vet, having an HCG Diet coach can greatly increase the likelihood of your success.

Fortunately these days people have the internet, which allows them to read about what works and what doesn't. Plus, with all of the great HCG Forums out there you are able to ask questions and become part of the conversation.

However, even with all of the informative blogs and forums that exist, nothing can take the place of getting advice from medically trained professionals.

This is why I recommend using Nu Image Medical when doing the HCG Diet Program. Because not only do you get top notch HCG and supplies, you also get to talk with people who truly want to see you succeed.

I think this is definitely the thing that sets them apart from other HCG companies. Rather than just sending you the HCG program and wishing you good luck, they are actually there talk you through any questions you might have.

In fact, to help you meet all of your HCG goals they have set up an HCG Support Line, and they even have staff on hand to answer your questions via their Facebook Page.

So it really is like having your own team of HCG Diet Coaches.

But if you want to check them out for yourself, head on over to the Nu Image website and see what they are all about.

And don't forget, we are always here to answer your HCG Diet questions, or address any concerns you may have as well.

Have you ever thought about using a private HCG Diet coach?

Can Not Losing Weight Actually Cause You To Gain?

2012-01-20T18:45:00.000-10:00

A Lot Of Things Can Cause You To Gain Weight, But Is Not Losing One Of Them?

For the longest time I have said that it's a good idea for a person to weigh themselves every morning while on the HCG Diet Program. This gives you an accurate account of exactly how much weight you lose during your round.

But what if you only lose a few ounces -- or even worse you lose no weight at all, what happens then?

Because those of you who have done this diet before know that this is not only a possibility, but it's very likely that this will happen to everyone at one time or another.

But Can Not Losing Weight Actually Cause You To Gain?

Yes, it can! But how?

Basically it's because of how demotivating it is for a person to step on the scale and see that the numbers are exactly the same as the day before. This can cause some people to feel that things are completely hopeless; which in turn causes them to cheat.

But usually people won't cheat the first time they don't lose -- It's after being on a plateau for a couple of days that people tend to get most discouraged.

What you have to remember is, not losing weight for a few days throughout the coarse of your round is completely normal. It's what you do during those few days that can make all the difference.

For example, you could use one of the many different plateau breakers that were specifically designed for this problem. The most popular of which is probably the HCG Apple Day, which consists of eating only six apples within a 24 hour period.

Not only is an Apple Day good for kick-starting your weight loss, but it's also a good way to get you motivated psychologically, and to help you keep your head in the game.

Hopefully knowing this will help all of you be a little less discouraged if and when you do hit the dreaded Plateau.

How do you deal with not losing weight on the HCG Diet?

Lose Weight Or Die Trying

2012-01-16T19:33:00.000-10:00

If Losing Weight Is That Important, Why Not Do It The Right Way?

These days more and more people have the attitude that they are going to lose weight, or they will die trying!

Unfortunately with the methods that some of them use they are more likely to die trying.

But why are so many people struggling to lose weight?

I think it's largely because they are trying to get thin using the latest weight loss fad rather than something that really works ... The HCG Diet!

Now even though the HCG Diet is not being endorsed by A-List celebrities, it has however been proven effective in the court of public opinion.

Of coarse this brings up the question that if the HCG Diet works so great, why isn't everybody doing it?

Well first off, there are in fact millions of people out there, including myself, that have successfully completed at least one round of the HCG Diet program.

But if I had to guess, I would have to say that people don't use it out of fear, or because of the misrepresentation of the diet by the media or by the people who have failed using the diet.

Keep in mind though, people will usually only fail if they do the diet incorrectly, or simply because they bought fake HCG.

Most people who have done the diet right, regardless of the amount of weight they lost, would recommend the diet to anyone.

Because with all the different diets out there that people are using, although they may be somewhat effective, almost none of them can produce the results that the HCG Diet can.

But don't take my word for it, prove it to yourself -- You can get the complete HCG Diet Program from Nu Image Medical.

Blood Clots From HCG Injections?

2012-01-14T23:17:00.000-10:00

Can You Get A Blood Clot From Doing HCG Injections?

As with most diets there are side effects and dangers associated with doing the HCG Diet. Chances are you may have even heard of a few of them.

Some of the more common side effects include things like constipation, dry skin, muscle weakness and even headaches.

However, because there are different methods for doing the diet, there are also different dangers depending on which method you use.

For instance if you are doing HCG Injections you may have to deal with irritation and soreness at the injection site.

But Can You Get A Blood Clot From Doing HCG Injections?

While it is possible, it is very uncommon. In fact, there are probably only a fraction of people who have ever had this happen while doing HCG Injections.

And it's also important to note that when a blood clot does occur it's not usually caused from the HCG, but rather from the injection itself.

So simply doing the injection correctly, can almost eliminate this danger entirely.

If you are unsure about how do give yourself an injection, you can learn about it in this previously written article ... How to inject yourself with the HCG Hormone.

Which way do you think is the safest for doing the HCG Diet?

How To Have Fun While Getting In Shape On The HCG Diet

2012-01-09T22:04:00.001-10:00

You'll Have So Much Fun Doing This You Won't Even Realize You're Burning Calories!

There are lots of different ways to get in shape these days -- You can work out at places like Gold's Gym or 24 Hour Fitness, go on walks, or maybe do some Yoga like I have suggested before.

The only problem is that most of the techniques that people use to get in shape are boring and take a lot of time and energy.

However, there is another way to burn calories that's a lot more fun and takes much less energy than going to the gym. I am of coarse talking about playing video games on the Nintendo Wii.

I know it may sound silly, but it's true. For Christmas in 2010 my father in law gave my kids a Wii as one of their gifts. At first I didn't take much interest in it. But when I did finally start playing it with the boys I actually broke a sweat. And when I woke up the next morning my arms were surprisingly sore.

So now we make it a point to play these types of games as a family; especially during the winter months or when the weather is bad. This way we can still remain a little active when it's too cold to go outside.

Now this won't happen with every Wii game out there -- The best games to play if you want a bit of a work out is the sports games. There are even games that have been specifically developed for getting in shape.

In fact, you may have heard of Wii Fit Plus, which gives you yoga, strength training, aerobics, and different types of balance games. Wii Fit is so effective it is even being used in various health clubs across the country and around the world.

The best part about playing these types of games on the Wii is that you can spend a lot more time with your children while teaching them the importance of exercise.

Don't yet have your own Wii? Don't worry, you can find them at places like Target, Walmart, Best Buy or even right here on Amazon.com.

And be sure to check out Wii Fit Plus as well as the many different sports games available for the Nintendo Wii.

Have you ever played the Nintendo Wii before?

The Stork Had A Special Delivery For Me And My Family The Other Day!

As some of you may have noticed I haven't been around much the past few days. And just in case you are wondering why, it's because I have been getting to know my new little boy.

Yep, on January 4th 2012 at 3:26 in the A.M., we welcomed the newest addition to our little family.

His name is Jaxson Connole and he is absolutely perfect!

The funny thing is, he wasn't even supposed to be here until the 12th. But when they are ready to come out, there is really no stopping them, is there.

And even though I have done this twice before, it feels like the first time. But one things for sure, babies are so much fun to have.

However, my 6 year old Aiden is having kind of a tough time with it all. Not only has he been the baby of the family for so long, but he is a big time daddy's boy too. So to see another child show up and start hogging all of the attention has been kind of difficult for him; I can definitely tell that he is trying though.

So don't worry I haven't gone anywhere, I'm just home being a dad.

But be sure to check back with us to see what helpful HCG Diet Tips we have for you in the days to come.

How many kids do you have?

HCG For Weight Loss In 2012

2012-01-02T17:19:00.000-10:00

Thinking About Starting The New Year Off With Some HCG?

Well, it's officially 2012, but can you believe that yet another year has come and gone. And of coarse everyone knows that with a new year comes the traditional New Years resolutions.

Now like millions of other people you might be committing to loose a few extra pounds. However, the one thing that will make all of the difference in your weight loss success is the diet program you choose.

So if you are truly serious about losing weight, you should know that the HCG Diet is by far the most effective way in which to do it.

Just ask anyone who has done it and they will most likely tell you that the HCG Diet is their preferred method for losing weight. And with the amount of weight that people are losing while on this diet its popularity should come as no surprise.

But with all of the different companies online claiming to offer legitimate HCG, it can be pretty intimidating trying to find one that you can actually trust; especially if you have never done the diet before.

So where can you get the real HCG Hormone and diet program?

Personally I only use one place these days ... Nu Image Medical. Not only do they give you everything you need, but they are there to help you every step of the way; and for a beginner that should be an important factor when finding a place to order the diet from.

Honestly it's like going to an HCG Diet Clinic without ever leaving the comfort of your own home. But at the same time you still get the support you need.

So if you are undecided about where to order your HCG from, go get the entire diet program from Nu Image Medical, you'll be glad you did.

Happy New Year ... And good luck on your weight loss journey!

What is your weight loss goal for 2012?

With that being said, we do know that it's all because of our wonderful readers out there that our site has blossomed into one of the best places on the web to get your HCG Diet info.

I Just Had To Tell Someone

2011-12-28T20:28:00.000-10:00

Now I hope you don't mind, but today I'm going to stray away from the topic of HCG ... In fact, this story has nothing to do with weight loss or dieting at all.

Have you ever heard that when a person receives good service from a company or business they tell 1 or 2 people, but when they have a bad experience they tell about 10 or 20 people?

Well today I want to change those statistics around a bit by telling all of you about an awesome experience that I had with an automotive repair shop.

And the reason I think that my experience is so important to share is because auto shops and mechanics generally have a bad rap for being dishonest.

But after you hear my story you might think differently about one of those auto shops at least...

As some of you may or may not know, I am the internet assistant for BMW here in Salt Lake City Utah. And right across the street from my work there is an automotive repair shop called Big O Tires.

Well as I was driving to grab some lunch today, I noticed a big rattling sound coming from underneath my car. After hearing this noise a few times both my co-worker and I thought that it would be wise to have a mechanic take a look at it.

So that's exactly what I did. I took it right on over to Big O Tires and told them what was going on; then I went back to work.

A little less than an hour later they called me and told me that my car was fixed and that I could come back and pick it up. When I got there, before I had the opportunity to ask them what the problem was, they proceeded to tell me that a big rock was lodged up in between my exhaust pipe and the under carriage of my car.

They said that they simply removed the rock and the rattling noise went away. I was very happy to hear that it wasn't something major. Especially because they could have told me that my car was falling apart and that I would need some expensive part to fix it. But they didn't.

So after telling me that my car was fine and that I was free to go, I asked them how much I owed them ... This is when I got the shock of a lifetime, he told me that there was no charge!

Needless to say I was blown away. Not only is this place honest, but they didn't even charge me for figuring out the problem; however small it may have been.

So if any of you need a good honest repair shop to take your vehicle to in Salt Lake City, head on over to Big O Tires on 4800 S. State Street.

Important Note: I know that not all other mechanics are dishonest, because there are a lot of good ones out there. However, I think that we can all agree that a large number of them do overcharge the "crap" out people for car repairs!

Have you ever had a bad experience with a mechanic or automotive repair shop before?

As always, I would love to hear what you think - So please be sure to tell me your thoughts in a comment below.

Doing This Might Help You Lose More Weight!

2011-12-27T20:58:00.001-10:00

Starting The HCG Diet Soon? Well Then You Better Shout It From The Rooftops, Right? ... Actually, This Time You May Want To Keep It To Yourself!

It has long been said that when dieting you should tell everyone that you can about your weight loss goals; in fact, I have even suggested doing this myself.

The theory has always been that the more people you tell, the more likely you are to stick with your diet program. In a sense you would be more motivated to lose weight because you wouldn't want to look like a failure to all of those people that you told.

Well now, experts are saying that this method may not be the best plan of action ... Imagine that, experts changing their minds about what actually works! (I'm typing sarcastically of coarse)

So apparently new studies are showing that the more people you tell, the more shameful you will feel if you aren't successful in hitting your weight loss goals. This in turn may make you possibly gain weight.

Plus you won't really know if someone is actually being sincere if they say things like ... "Looks like you've lost a couple pounds"

So instead, what you should do is tell only one or two key people in your family or maybe your closest friend. This way, when you start losing weight people won't be expecting it.

Then when people do pay you a compliment, you will be more likely to believe them; which in turn should help boost your confidence and possibly motivate you even more.

I think that this would work great for HCG Dieters because of the rate in which you lose pounds as well as inches.

And the good news is you can still get all of the help and support that you need from places like our very own HCG Forum.

So this time you might want to think twice before you go telling all of your friends that you are about to start a diet. Who knows, it may actually help you to drop more weight!

How many people do you usually tell when you start a diet?

As always, I would love to hear what you think - So please be sure to tell me your thoughts in a comment below.

Christmas Dinner For The HCG Diet

2011-12-23T07:54:00.000-10:00

You'll Forget All About Christmas Dinner Once You Taste This HCG Recipe!

If you are on the HCG Diet during the Christmas holiday season everyday can be a test of your inner strength and will to succeed.

With all of the treats and snacks that people deliver right to your door, it's hard not to have just one tiny taste.

But I definitely think the hardest part of the holidays to get through is Christmas Dinner. It takes a pretty strong individual to not cheat while everyone is scarfing down a bunch of delicious food around you.

However, after everybody sees the dish that you prepare they will be wishing they were on the 500 Calorie Diet too. It's called Chicken Bruschetta and it is nothing short of divine.

So if you want to have one of the most amazing Christmas Dinners you've ever had, try this HCG Recipe (Phase 2).

Keep in mind, this recipe counts as your protein and vegetable for one of your meals. However, you can still have a fruit and Melba toast or Grissini Breadstick along with it.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

What did you plan on eating for Christmas Dinner?

What's Really Been Going On?

2011-12-20T08:27:00.000-10:00

Are There Any HCG Dieters Left Out There?

I don't know if it's because of the holidays or because of the FDA cracking down on Homeopathic HCG sales, but it seems like the HCG Diet community is really dwindling.

Who knows, maybe it's a little bit of both!

I just hope that people aren't too scared to use HCG for weight loss now. Because I still truly believe that this is one of the most effective ways for a person to lose weight.

But like I have always said, it is much more beneficial for a person to use Pharmaceutical HCG to do this diet. Let me tell you why, Homeopathic HCG contains essentially no HCG at all ... And with out HCG you can hardly call it the HCG Diet, am I right?

However, before I get too much off topic, lets take a look at what we've been talking about here lately.

Is The HCG Diet Going Away?

With the recent announcement that the FDA may be halting the sale of Homeopathic HCG products by certain companies, there has been a widespread panic that the HCG Diet will exist no more.

But the fact that people are so upset should come as no surprise to anyone. Over the past few years the HCG Weight Loss Program has become very popular among dieters. And with the ability to lose up to a pound or more per day, who wouldn't love this diet.

But is there really any cause to be concerned? Could the HCG Diet actually be going away?

Honestly, I don't think so. It seems to me that the FDA is more or less targeting the manufacturers and providers of Homeopathic HCG.

From what I understand, Homeopathic HCG does not fall under the category of a Homeopathic Drug. Therefore it cannot advertise itself as such.

So I wouldn't worry about it too much ... The HCG Diet has been around for quite some time, and my guess is it will be around for a long time to come.

However, as always, I would recommend using Pharmaceutical HCG when doing this diet ... Without it, it's just another low calorie diet!

What do you think about the FDA shutting down Homeopathic HCG sales?

The One Thing That's More Important Losing Weight!

2011-12-11T20:37:00.000-10:00

Did You Know That There Is Something Even More Important Than Weight Loss On The HCG Diet?

Everyone knows that the purpose of a diet is to lose weight; if you didn't lose weight, why would anyone put themselves through all that torture.

The problem is that the majority of dieters out there think that losing weight is the most important thing. To them all they care about is seeing a smaller number on the scale every morning.

Now don't get me wrong, losing weight everyday is a great feeling.

However, there is something that's even more important than the actual weight loss ... Keeping it off!

Time and time again I see people work so hard to lose as much weight as they possibly can. Then for some reason they really seem to drop the ball when it comes to keeping it gone.

If you want to know the truth, keeping the weight from coming back is by far the most important step of all.

Because even though a person might lose 30 pounds on the HCG Diet, it doesn't really mean that much if they gain 15 of it back. Honestly, it would be just the same as someone who lost 15 pounds and managed to kept it all off.

In fact, it would actually be better to lose a lower amount of weight and not gain it back, because this would mean that they are following the plan.

Plus, if you are doing the diet right, and sticking to the protocol even after the 500 Calorie Diet, there should really be no reason for your weight to fluctuate more than a pound or two.

So before you go putting all of your motivation into losing weight, you may want to consider saving some of that positive energy for keeping off.

Because in the end you will only truly be happy if you can keep the weight from coming back.

Would you rather lose 30 pounds and gain back 15 ... or only lose 15 pounds total?

As always, I would love to hear what you think - So please be sure to tell me your thoughts in a comment below.

FDA Shutting Down Homeopathic HCG Sales!

2011-12-07T18:44:00.001-10:00

This Just In ... The FDA Is Taking Action To Shut The Doors On Homeopathic HCG Manufacturing In The U.S.

As some of you may already know, yesterday on Tuesday December 6, 2011, US officials said that they are taking action to remove illegally labeled HCG Weight Loss Products from the market ... I am of coarse talking about Homeopathic HCG.

According to the FDA, a number of companies that are marketing Homeopathic HCG, or HHCG, were sent warning letters from the FDA and the FTC to stop selling the product.

The letters warn the companies that they are breaking federal law by selling drugs that have not been approved, and by making unsupported claims for their product.

Apparently these companies have been given 15 days to comply. If they refuse, they could risk legal action or even criminal prosecution.

What does this mean for you?

Well, it means that you should probably not purchase Homeopathic HCG anymore.

As always, I would highly recommend using only Pharmaceutical HCG.

But if you're not sure where to find Pharmaceutical HCG, you should go check out Nu Image Medical ... After all, Pharmaceutical HCG is the only kind of HCG they offer.

What do you think about the FDA trying to stop the sale of Homeopathic HCG?

Is anyone else tired of Christmas shopping yet?

It's been so long since I've had to do it, I forgot just how stressful it can be.

That's because for the past couple of years Suzy has been the one doing all of the Christmas shopping. However, this year with her being 8 and 1/2 months pregnant she's just not able to handle it.

So I guess now it's my job. And for some reason it seems like people are crazier than ever. In fact, I watched a story on the news not too long ago that a women used pepper mace to keep people away from the gifts that she wanted to purchase.

What Your Food Should Weigh And How To Prepare It

Do You Know How To Prepare Your Food Before You Weigh it?

The other day I told you how important it was to use a scale for weighing out your food on the 500 Calorie Diet.

So today I wanted to make sure you knew exactly how much your food should weigh.

Now I know that a lot of you probably know how much protein you're allowed to have.

But, what you may not know is that there's a certain way to prepare your food before you even put it on the scale.

How To Prepare Your Protein Before Weighing:

Before weighing your protein you want to be sure that you carefully remove all visible fat.

Plus, it's important to note that you should always weigh your food raw, not cooked.

How Much Should Your Food Weigh?

For each meal (Lunch and Dinner) you are allowed to have 100 Grams, or 3.5 ounces, of either Veal, Beef, Chicken Breast, Fresh White Fish, Lobster, Crab, or Shrimp.

You are allowed to have approximately 100 Grams of vegetables with each meal as well.

Keep in mind that you do not need to weigh out your fruit servings. But just in case you are wondering, you can have either 1 Apple, 1 Orange, 1/2 Grapefruit, or a handful of Strawberries.

And if you don't think it's important to weigh out your food for each meal ... Think again!

Because weighing your food can actually mean the difference between success and failure on the HCG Diet.

Did you get yourself a food scale yet?

Why You Need To Weigh Your Food

2011-12-01T13:43:00.000-10:00

By A Show Of Hands, How Many Of You Just Eyeball The Weight Of Your Food?

Honestly, I really hope none of you are holding your hand in the air right now ... Not only because of the fact that I can't see you, but also because when it comes to weighing your food guesstimating should not even be an option.

The truth is if you are not weighing out your food it can compromise the entire diet. That's because the diet was specifically tailored around a strict 500 Calorie Protocol.

But does weighing your food really make a difference?

Yes, it does! And here's why...

If you are eating more than the allowed 500 Calories it could be effecting your weight loss tremendously ... But if you are eating less, then you are needlessly depriving yourself which will make you more hungry and may even increase your chances of cheating.

This is why it is so important for you to use a food scale with each and every meal.

But what kind of food scale should you use?

The truth is any food scale is better than eyeballing it. However, for the HCG Diet I would recommend using a Digital Food Scale.

A Digital Scale is going to be much more accurate than a traditional scale. And on a diet like this, accuracy is very important to your success.

So do yourself a favor and STOP eyeballing the weight of your food!

If you want a great deal on a digital scale, Amazon usually has them at a huge discounted price. In fact, I recently found one for about $15.00

Do you weigh out all of your meals?
