I have finally graduated to more forums lol

anyway I was curious to know if anyone has been on or heard of HCG diet and your thoughts. My MIL is on it and has lost a lot of weight and has maintained to keep it off when she is off the injections she gets from the doctor.... just wanted to get some more thoughts and info if anyone has any. Thanks =)

Whole idea of it totally ooks me out to be honest.

It's great she kept it off. The one person I know personally who has done it, lost quickly, and put it right back on plus some. They had her on a dangerously low calorie count as well. Glad to hear that it worked for your MIL.

It scares me too in a way.... I like food so I know it would be hard to do for me however with my diabtes out of control I need to find a way to lose weight and its hard with a uncontolled thyroid problem

I know there is no fast and easy way that is good I just needed to get thoughts though I love my MIL I wanted to do research myself and get other thoughts

Have you tried increasing your vitamin D levels? Is your thyroid too high or too low? D helps for both. I would suggest doing some research on it. I had trouble staying warm and couldn't pinpoint it. I suspected something with my thyroid and now I stay really warm.

I started taking extra Vitamin A also, because of something else and I noticed that it really made my appetite drop. I stopped craving a lot of junk I used to want. Most of it I turn my nose up at now.

Zinc has helped as well and is also important in glucose regulation as are the other two.

If you like, you can take the wellness review in my signature line. It might give you some clues what you might need. It comes with a short consultation.

I wish you well in finding the right solution.

Have you looked into the the Low GI way of eating? A large majority of countries, a side from the US, use this method to control/manage diabetes. I have a heart condition that I felt was largely caused by the ups and downs of my blood sugar and consequent heart rate. If you are interested I can share some of the info I have gathered. I have been following the Low GI way of eating and taking supplements for almost 7 weeks now and I have lost 20 pounds.

Best of luck and please let me know if I can provide any more info
