i am anxious to start the diet and i just got my period but i would like to start it asap. if i start it, the injections and the 2 days of gorging the last two days of my period, will the hcg get into my system enough for the diet to get off to a good start? any info would be helpful ,thanks ….also, does anyone know what kind of conditioner and shampoo to use?
Chosen Answer:
The reason that Dr. Simeon’s says not to inject during your period is because your body actually produces HCG during the menstrual cycle. I may be wrong, anyone feel free to correct me. So injecting on those days would be a waste of your HCG. Also, the more HCG in your system, the faster you become immune. If I were you I would go ahead and start loading now to get your normal fat reserves up and then start injecting and loading for two more days after the period. I know I loading for a week this round, only because I have been on so many diets before and I wanted to make sure my normal fat reserves were full. I am on my 9th day now, and have not had even the slightest bit of hunger the whole week.
See the first week is sometimes hard since you may get hunger pangs, that is why we load, so that our body can run off our normal fat for the first few days and keep us content until the hcg gets into our system and mobilizes the abnormal fat.
Try to eat very high fat food, on my loading I had fried chicken, buttered biscuits, chocolate, donuts, peanut butter cups, chips, etc. LOL I feel so strange telling you to eat all that but enjoy it!
Also, whenever I am in the kitchen I wear gloves, only because I live with 8 other people and there is no telling what has oil on it. That’s right, even a drop of oil touching your skin will keep you from losing the next day. Be careful! Check all spices and foods for any sugar, oil, sugar alcohol, or aspartame(BAD).
As far as shampoo and conditioner, I am using the same I normally do. I have just reduced washing my hair to once or twice a week. I have curly hair so this is actually keeping my waves a bit more hydrated. The easiest thing is to just use your normal shampoo and conditioner and just wash your hair less. But expect to not lose on the day you shampoo and condition. Normal showers are fine though, with -bar soap with no oil in ingredients-, just rinse your hair with water or use a shower cap.
Btw, you WILL gain a lot of weight on your load days but don’t worry, you will lose every ounce of it within the first few days!
I have started the Dr. Simeon’s Protocol (original and only true HCG diet) about 5 times but different circumstances forced me to stop. I am finally able to do a full round, hopefully with no interuptions.
It has been 9 days:
I started at …………178 (after loading)
I am now at …………165
Round 1 Goal……….148 or less ^_^
A note, DO NOT freeze your HCG, no matter what anyone tells you. Just refrigerate. I lost a bottle of HCG because I listened to someone else and froze it. HCG is very fragile and freezing ruins it.
Also, we can have vinegar and cucumbers on the diet, so some people say that means we can also have pickles. I have them sometimes. It’s up to you, I have been losing fine. Just another thing you may consider if you get bored with your food.
Another note 
, there is a diet soda called Zevia, that is sweetened with Stevia (a sweet plant). Zevia has no calories, no sugar, its all natural. I found a few cans at my local Whole Foods store for 99cents a can. I’ve had two cans in a week and a half, it tastes better than regular diet soda. Its nice to keep around for when you get a craving for soda. But don’t overdo it.
Email me if you have any other questions, I have a lot of tips for ya!

Shampoo and conditioner I leave to others, it’s a personal thing. what suits one type of hair may not suit another. I use good quality all in one or just a baby shampoo.
Asfor the HCG diet on 500 calories a day anyone would lose weight, HCG or not. I don’t think it will matter when you start.
I wouldn’t pay the money for the ?$10 injections when also having to go on a starvation diet.
Aside from fertility, the FDA doesn’t approve hCG use for any other reason, including weight loss
Most independent, peer-reviewed studies of the hCG diet have shown no difference in weight loss between subjects on a low-calorie diet who received hCG injections and subjects who received a placebo [source: Conis]. One study even showed that both the placebo group and the hCG group reported major hunger pangs throughout the treatment.
Regardless, once a person stops the hCG diet, he or she will have to adopt a normal and healthy lifestyle, or the weight’s just coming back. Proponents of the hCG diet maintain that the purpose of the diet is to break food addictions and abnormal eating behaviors, and that the month or so of treatment allows a person to do so. In this sense, the diet hopes to achieve short-term weight loss with long-term behavioral modification.
