HCG Diet
HCG Diet
There has been quite the buzz about this “HCG Diet”. Such a buzz, in fact, that I had to try it for myself. Even though I’m quite active, I had about 15 pounds I wanted to lose. You see, sometimes life sneaks up on us so well that one day we wake up and shockingly, we have gained 20 pounds! How did that happen? Well, however it happens, it does happen. I’m no exception.
I retired from the military in January of 2010. At the time, my son was 4 and my daughter was 2. My husband is also retiring from the military and was very busy with that. I decided to make our retirement transition from North Carolina to New Mexico a little early…and without my husband. We thought the best idea was for me to come to New Mexico and start our new life while he still had a stable income. Well, along with this transition came more stress than I’ve ever dealt with. Working out or running was the last thing I thought about doing.
I had to transition to a new job, move myself and my kids into a new house, establish them in a new day care, and try to maintain some semblance of normalcy. Oh yeah, and continue my Master’s Degree studies. I know many people say, “If fitness is important to you, you will find time to do it.” Well, simply, the time for it did not exist. I tried to eat right but honestly, I barely paid attention to what I ate. I was desperate.
One day, I was surfing the net for a diet. Any of my friends who know me well will tell you that if there’s a pill or a diet out there, I have tried it. Well, I came across an ad for the “Official HCG Diet”. I began talking to people at work about it and stumbled across a co-worker whose best friend did the HCG diet and lost 130 pounds! “WOW!” I thought! This might be something I could do. So I looked into it a little more.
I came across a company that was backed by the Better Business Bureau and had a money back guarantee. It was the sublingual drops they were advertising which seemed easy enough to me. Well, let me tell you, friends, it worked.
In two weeks time I lost 15 pounds. And 5% body fat. This diet WORKS. The best thing about it is that it works best if you are sedentary for the time you’re on the diet. So it’s perfect for the non-nursing mother who is running around like a chicken with her head cut off like I was.
The basic principle is this…HCG is a hormone that your body makes when you’re PREGNANT. It’s the hormone that metabolizes your fat into food for the baby. If there’s no baby, it just gets disposed as waste from your body.
There have been men and women who have been successful with this program. If you’re interested in it and want to know more, contact me. I’d be happy to help you.

Was considering the HCG, but worried since I’m also a runner. I run 3-4 miles 3x/week. Does this affect the diet?
Hi there! You will not want to do too much physical activity with the HCG diet. Even though you won’t be hungry, remember that you are severely restricting your calories so your body doesn’t have enough to burn for exercise. If you want to do anything at all I suggest walking only until you’re done with the diet. Good luck!
