End of my second round of HCG, on to Stabilization

It has been twelve days since I finished my second cycle of weight loss phase with HCG ezTrim. I lost 24 pounds with this cycle for a total of 52 pounds since the middle of May. I never would have dreamed that I would be able to lose that much weight in a little over three months. I stayed on the drops for seven weeks this time, I was hoping to lose a few more pounds than I did but the weight loss was a bit slower at the end of this cycle. This makes me wonder if six weeks at a time is best, I certainly was ready to be done by the end of that time. I would have stayed on, but realized that three more pounds wasn’t going to put me where I want to be, so I will get back on HCG ezTrim after the first of the year to lose another 10 - 15 pounds.

It is a bit scary moving on to the stabilization phase because although you can start eating more food, you need to be very careful to not eat any sugar or starches. I find it best to eat at home, though the times I have eaten out I have stuck to the plsn. I went to a buffet with my family and was amazed that there was very little I could eat. When we make our own food we know what is in it, so no need to worry about hidden sugar, etc.

I have had one steak day and even though it was quite distressing to weigh myself and have a gain, it is nice to know that doing the steak day got me right back down to where my loss was. When that happens it is important to identify the problem food that caused the gain and not eat that again while on stabilization. During the stabilization phase is vitally important to not eat sugar or starches, because this is when the set-point is being reset to the lower weight. This is all controlled by the hypothalamus and it takes three weeks for it to reset. This is the phase where people can really mess up, so be sure to continue to be very strict with your diet after the weight loss phase.

Foods I have enjoyed adding are avocados and ranch salad dressing. Fruit smoothies, nuts and the larger variety of fruits and vegetables. As a special treat homemade ice cream using stevia as the sweetener and for me that means chocolate ice cream with un-sweetened coconut and almonds. My own little bit of almond joy heaven!! I’ve learned to have a lettuce wrap when the family is having a sandwich. When the family is eating things I can’t have I make a smoothie, eat more fruit or vegetables and I am satisfied.

Almost to my goal with HCG ezTrim

Kathryn weight loss

I have found that I really have to have a good sense of humor while on the HCG ezTrim diet. Clothes that fit one week don’t fit the next, and that has been happening to me over and over again for the past three months. I have now lost a total of 51 lbs with only four more pounds to my goal! I have lost an average 4.25 pounds per week! In the past I would diet for three to four months to lose 15 to 20 pounds only to gain them back by the following January. I am so happy to have found a “tool” that works for me.

In the book,
The Weight Loss Cure They Don’t Want You To Know About, Kevin Trudeau talks about how HCG is a permanent weight loss cure. This diet was kept secret from the world and was only available to the rich and famous at a very high price. Originally and still today it is administered by a daily injection with weekly doctor supervision. The homeopathic version of HCG came out a little over a year ago, making it affordable for everyone.

When I found out that following the HCG diet protocol helps to raise your metabolism and reset your set point to the lower weight you have attained, I knew this diet was for me. I have battled weight issues all of my adult life when I had radioactive iodine that killed off my thyroid when I was twenty. I felt that I would never be thin again, because year after year I would lose and then regain weight over and over again.

When I started HCG ezTrim in mid-May I thought, this is an awful time to start a diet! Now I am just so grateful that I followed through, and still find it hard to believe that I have lost 51 lbs. in that short of time. If you are ready, now is a good time to get started. You could lose a good amount of weight by the end of October, go on to the stabilization phase for three weeks and be ready to eat a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner with your family. Then take time to enjoy the holidays, making good food choices and treating yourself every so often, and then get back on the weight loss phase in January, to work on the rest of the weight loss.

I had two days where I had dessert, those days I still ate on the plan the rest of the day. I gained on those days but went back to losing after a day or two. It is best not to deviate from the diet protocol, but sometimes we have to be human and enjoy a little treat. One of the days was my birthday, and for a special day enjoy a treat, but don’t blow the whole day. Likely I would have the 4 lbs off by now, but that is life and I made a choice. Overall I am amazed at how well I have been able to stick to the diet.

I am in my seventh week which is more than what the protocol says to do, but with the homeopathic HCG you can go a bit longer if you can handle it. The past two weeks on my day off the drops I was ready to quit, but come the next day when I had a good loss I decided to go on for another week. Likely in January I will go back on HCG to knock off another 10 - 15 lbs, but I’ll have to wait until then to make that decision. This has been an amazing summer for me to be able to achieve something that I thought would never happen.

I have lost 6 inches in both my waist and hips, 4 inches in my thighs, 1 inch in my calfs and a little over 2 inches in my upper arms. Wow, that’s crazy! I still can’t believe it. My next phase is clothes shopping!!!
Hollie weight loss
Here is Hollie’s update:
I lost 40 lbs. without HCG between January and May. In June/July, I lost 38 lbs in 33 days using HCG EzTrim and then took a break for five weeks. Following the stabilization phase eating plan was simple and I did not feel deprived. It took about a week and a half for me to find the foods that did not work for my body, I had a couple of “steak days” to rectify small weight gains, but at the end of my break, my weight was right where I had ended with the drops. I just started the drops again recently. I gained a few pounds on my loading days, but lost that quickly the first 2 days back on the diet. I lost 9 lbs, plus the loading weight, the first week back on the HCG. I am so excited to continue losing weight using this product. I have a long way to go, and will probably have to do another 2 rounds of HCG ezTrim after I finish this one, but I feel like I have finally found the tools to help me successfully lose weight and keep it off forever! I have so much energy and feel fantastic!
