IN reality a diet that low in calories without the drops stops your metabolism and you don't lose...
More comments without knowledge is pointless...

If you ate this little without the HCG you would be starving and you would lose muscle mass and little fat weight.............and your body would eventually go into starvation mode..............
The low cal is only there to keep the metabolism up while the body turns its own fat into calories while we are dosing with the HCG....
Therefore it is like we are taking in thousands of calories per day.

Its working (and worked in the past!) for me too.
I lost 50 lbs on it 2 years ago, going from a size 14 to a size 2. I am 5'4" and at size 2, I weighed 140 lbs.
That is how I know my body had not lost any muscle mass, just fat. People couldn't believe I weighed 140 lbs. They thought I was at the most 120. The HCG truly reshapes your body.
I'm on it again, because, yes I gained 20 lbs back over the past year because I didn't follow the rules properly when coming off the injections. I had some crap to deal with in my life, (I know its another excuse!), but I was not in a good mental place so I made some poor food choices.
I am so grateful i have this plan to lose weight, I know it works IF YOU FOLLOW THE RULES. no cheating! I like the rigid structure, because then there are no decisions to make, you just have to do it.
And as for the thought of hormone injections, bah. No biggie. I'm taking 125 IU/day. A pregnant woman gets up to 290,000 IU per day. And I've had seven kids, so I think a wee bit more HCG won't hurt me.

I hope to be starting my drops in the coming week. I'm so excited finally to hear that something may actually work for me. Would anyone mind sharing some stats with me that you experienced your first go round? starting weight ending weight how long you were on the drops etc. I'm interested in knowing what I may experience in the coming weeks. I'm so looking forward to this. I hope I have great success! Failure is NOT an option!

Is diet soda allowed in moderation? I saw it on another site but questioned it?

It says up to 24 oz of soda per day, if you have to, otherwise don't. I find crystal light to be fabulous!

We can have crystal light? Is it cause its sugar free and basically calorie free? hadn't thought of water flavorings. i'm trying to figure out how to handle giving up my diet pepsi and diet dr.pepper. I'm an addict. I have to let it go though.
