This coming Sunday I will start a new cycle of the HCG Diet.
Last year I did one round of this diet and lost 37 pounds in 6 weeks. Life sort of got in the way for additional rounds that could have brought me to my target goal, but this weekend I will start new and commit myself to this diet once again for 6 weeks.
The HCG diet is not easy and does demand discipline in order to succeed.
If I stick to the rules I will lose weight relatively fast. I do the cheap and needle free version of this diet.
The original HCG Hormone diet can be quite costly and while I would like to do the real thing I just can't afford it.
The HCG injections are a BIG NO for me because I'm scared of needles and I cannot give myself injections for that reason.
So I will do the generic version of this diet and use HCG Diet Drops available in Drugstores and online. There are several brands that can be bought, most of them are Hormone free.
The brand I buy are the Creative Bioscience 1234 Diet Drops.
These drops normally help the average person lose 1 pound a day. This wasn't true for me every day. Sometimes I lost less, more and some days even nothing. Everybody is different so it's better not to fool yourself into thinking that 1 pound a day is a given even so the drops instructions and information say so.

L-Ornithine, , L-Carnitine, L-Arginine, L-Glutamine, Maca (Lepidium meyenii), Niacin, Beta-Alanine, Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea), Astragalus
Directions
As a dietary supplement, take 10 drops under (0.5 ml) the tongue three times per day, 30 minutes before eating, and hold for one to two minutes. Do not eat or drink for 10 minutes before or after taking the drops.
Also, I DO NOT follow the diet plan that comes with these drops. I follow the plan of Dr. Simeons the creator of the original diet from back in the 50's.
His instructions are not very detailed, but I will stick with the very low-calorie diet of 500 a day.

The low-calorie amount sounds hard to do, but that is where the drops come into play and help.
Of course, there are many adaptations to this diet found on the internet these days, but the good doctor gives you a bit of his original idea on how and why this diet works.
I might try to keep a Vlog during this cycle, but I'm still debating if I will or not. I'm shy and hate to be in front of a camera, but I think it would help hold myself a little more accountable during this diet.
It's always a good idea to first ask your doctor if you should do a particular diet, so please do so, before you give it a try!
Of course I am not a doctor and only can share my personal experience with this diet! It works for me, but can not guarantee that this diet will do the same for you or will be safe for you to do. Therefore the consultation with your doctor would be a wise thing to do!
