Dr Simeon's HCG diet

Jayne G — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:44:18 GMT

Has anyone experience with this Human Chorionic Gonadotropin diet where you get HCG injections and a 500 cal/day diet? I am interested in doing this but would like to know from anyone that's done it if it works as they say it does. Thanks

I've lost 90pounds in 1 1/2 year.

Hi, in febuary 2007 I weithed 267, now I weith 178-180. By simply stopping to drink sodas (diet and standard) and eating more and more organic foods. I drink a lest 1 gallon of water everyday and I walk for 1 hour in the morning. I'm 29 and I never felt that good in al my life.

My primary goal was not to loose weith but just stop gaining it. Then I just realised that I was indeed loosing 2-5pounds every weeks without doing that much, It just motivated me to read some books about natural cures and I started to realise what I was really eating, what was good and what was bad and why it was bad for me. A lot of poeple look at the ingrediants and don't have a clue of what they are reading. I see that a lot at the supermarket.

Now I have 1 question about my health and I wish i'm not out of line here. If I am will a moderator just move it to the right section or edit it. After loosing 90pounds I found myself with a lot of loose skin on my upper arms and my belly. It roll over my belt. It's getting enoying to see all the progress I've made in my health and still not liking what I see in the miror. I would like to know if there is some good alternative to surgery.

Thank you.

Not just fat --it's cellulite!

Cellulite_Analyst — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:23:44 GMT

I always bought into the conventional view of cellulite, that it's harmless, genetic, and mostly untreatable. After a dramatic run-in with a fitting room mirror, I tried dry skin brushing. It was a last-ditch attempt to do something about my dreaded "condition," so I was amazed when it actually worked! So now I've launched a full-blown investigation into the matter. Why does dry brushing affect cellulite? How could brushing the surface of the skin have any effect on the fat cells underneath? And what causes cellulite in the first place? If anyone has any thoughts/musings/further information I would love to hear about it!

Thanks!

thyroid advice

sparklepixie — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 23:13:05 GMT

I am curious about natural treatments for having a low thyroid. I have a low body temperature (around 97 degrees) and am a Mixed Type or a Protein Type (i took the test twice and came up with different types since I wasn't sure about many of the questions I answered.)

Is there something recommended that could help my thyroid function?

Mixed Type meal plan and weight loss

Inky3405 — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:54:01 GMT

I just took the nutritional typing test and found out that I am a mixed type and have printed out the charts and made a menu to follow along with the recommendations of the meal plans from Dr. M and I was just wondering if anyone has had success with losing weight by following this meal plan?

I have 130 lbs to lose and am having a hard time getting started on the diet plan. I also wonder about putting my children on the plan for mixed type people too because they have to eat what I cook and I dont want them to end up eating the wrong foods because its what is good for me. Also my husband has type 2 diabetes and is also a mixed type and I want to make sure I am doing things right for him, do you have any suggestions as to things we should or should not do with the diet plans? We are avoiding most of the foods on the secondary list except I am having a piece of fruit with my breakfast in the morning, but other than that we are not eating from that list, is that ok or should we include more of those foods?

I feel a little uneasy I think just because I am eating more fat than I was before and what Dr. M says about our nutritional type goes against what i have always heard about weight loss and it takes some getting used to. I guess the only way to know what works is to try the diet plan and see how it goes, right?

Thank you for your help

Beans for weight loss

emac01 — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:46:15 GMT

Last summer someone introduced me to garbanzo beans and refried beans. I ate them often while factoring out much of the refined carbs, save for an occasional ice cream or slice of cake. To my amazement the pounds melted off. I did much walking, but no vigorous exercise. Now I eat bean products only now and then, but I have always wondered what in the beans helped to melt the pounds. Any ideas? Perhaps others have experience with this unusual diet addition?

Know Any Tips On How To Squeeze Exercise in a Tight Schedule?

meatlover — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:57:30 GMT

Hi... I've been researching about this for quite sometime now and I was wondering if anyone here has any idea on the subject matter stated above. I just started walking from my home to the office everyday and I was wondering if there are other things I could do while I'm at the office. Basically my work is just purely a desk job so I spend the whole day sitting and looking at my computer.

I feel that I am getting fatter by the minute so I was wondering if anyone has good suggestions for burning calories while at work.

Hope to hear from members soon!

Are Meal Replacements Safe?

Leoric — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:33:47 GMT

I was referred by a friend to one of this product that replaces two our of three regular meals a day. They told me it will help in shedding the extra pounds and can keep me fit without looking like I was undergoing extreme weight loss program.

Anyway, I was wondering if this is safe? I've never tried replacing any of my main meals. I believe in moderating my meal consumption but to actually not eat is a different story.

Any ideas?

Apple Cider Vinegar

L-Carnitine

Celtic Dance — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:34:46 GMT

I saw this one bottled water that contains L-Carnitine (about 300mg per serving) and I find it very effective as a helping agent in burning fats. I use to be 207lbs and I started walking to and from work (about 20 minutes brisk walking) and started drinking this l-carnitine infused drink. I think there are also fruit juices that has L-carnitine in it.

Anyway, after 3 months of doing this and watching out my diet, I am happy to say that I reduced my weright to 194lbsm, that's 13lbs in 3 months without sacrificing my other activities in work and in my personal life.
