When I previously tried the HCG Diet. I used the homeopathic drops. While these were effective, I strayed from the six week phase of the protocol to not add into the diet sugar, bread, starch, nitrates or alcohol. So I have added back a few pounds and now want to try another round of the HCG Diet. This time, I have decided to try the genuine HCG mixed for sublingual application.
After some online research, I decided to order the HCG from http://www.dietawayfat.blosgspot.com/ (Reliable Pharmacy). I ordered both HCG and Vitamin B12 from them for a 30 day diet lenght. The HCG I orderd comes from Sweeden. In addition, I found a mixing kit for sublingual application on http://hcgsupplies.com/ (HCG Supplies). I ordered a kit for a 45 day round since the kits come in a 23 day or 45 day size. The kits come with the Vitamin B12 included. If the items are ordered without the B12, it is more expensive. So I will have some additional B12 drops. I am currently awaiting the arrival of the HCG and the mixing kit. After these items arrive I will post again about my experiences with the mixing. The instructions were forwareded to me by HCG Supplies.

The HCG Diet Protocol
The HCG diet has been around for over 50 years. Dr A.T.W. Simeons, a Brithish endocrinologist, researched and promoted this diet in the 1950's. His studies suggested that a daily injection of a female pregnancy hormone, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, together with a strict reduction in calorie intake caused significant fat loss while maintain muscle mass.
Studies have said that the diet does not work. However, numerous patients trying the diet claim that the diet is both effective and they actually feel "good" while on it.
The diet protocol consists of daily injections or sublingual doses of HCG followed by a strict routine of small amounts of certain fruits, Melba toast, protein and vegetables. The diet calorie amount is approximately 500 calories a day. The HCG is said to tap the fat reserves of the dieter to make up theadditional calories needed for daily functioning. No exercise is required.
The meat chosen while on the diet must be the leanest available. I used the 96% fat free content ground beef and the white meat of the chicken breast with all the visable fat and skin removed. It is also important not to use creams or oils in cosmetics during the reduction phase of the diet protocol. Baby oil or mineral oil can be used instead of lotions and creams.
Hunger is not a problem on the diet. At least it wasn't a problem for me. The drops (even thehomeopathic ones I used) seemed to alleviate any hunger pangs. I did get severe leg cramps during the diet. I combatted them using liquid magnesium drops and potassium tablets. It is important to drink plenty of water during the diet. Water and black coffee and tea in any amount are encouraged.
I have tried the HCG Diet using the homeopathic sublingual drops. Though several sources indicate that the homeopathic drops offer only trace amounts of HCG and the only effect is a "placebo" effect. I was able to lose 25 pounds.
The diet worked nicely for me, targeting the belly fat and hip fat I wanted to unload. My downfall was the after diet protocol, which I did not follow. The after diet phase advises 1500 calories a day with no starches, breads, nitrites, sugar or alcohol for six weeks after the diet drops or shots and reduced calorie portion of the diet regime is over. I am a testimonial to the the fact that this phase must be followed to maintain the weight loss.
I have decided to go on the diet again, this time using the Pharmacy Grade HCG formula which has the actual HOrmone in the amounts recommended by Dr Siemeons. I will continue to post on my progress
