40 IU of HCG twice a week??

[want2bhealthy]

Good morning all...I am going to a weight loss clinic on Monday to get the HCG injections but am a little worried about their method. They give you 40 units of HCG twice a week. This seems so low compared to the 125 units daily that I am reading so much about. The diet plan is under 1000 calories a day compared to the VLCD 500-800 calories a day. Has anybody taken this dose and seen results?? This is going to cost me a pretty penny so I want to make sure it is worth it. I need to loose a LOT of wieght, close to 100 lbs to be considered in the healthy weight range for my height. Thank you so much for any help!

IMO, I found that the diet clinics out there do a form of the diet but not the diet exactly. I also have(had) 100 pounds to lose. I decided that if I was going to do this, I wanted to do it as strictly as Dr. Simeon's protocol/program was. I went online and downloaded his original manuscript from the 1960s and read it thru 2-3 times. He studied obesity for over 40 years and was successful treating fat people for many years in Italy. I encourage you to follow his program. I am doing my second round of the protocol and have lost 28 pounds in 30 days the first round and am in my 8th day of the second round and am down 9 pounds. KTs book is a looser variation of Dr. Simeons protocol and the weight clinics out there are even looser. hope this helps!....my feeling is that anyone can be on a strict program for 30 days if they REALY WANT TO LOSE THE WEIGHT!....then maintenance for 6-8 weeks and then do it again....until u acheive your goal weight.
