I know several people who took OraThin (herbal alternative) and did just as well as the real hcg. It is more expensive and more of a pain to use. They lost well and maintain well.
You can use the real hcg in 2 ways: injections or sublingual. Both work just as well. I prefer injections using little insulin syringes. It is just such a non-event and I, too, look forward to my morning injection! The sublingual is mixed with distilled liquor (rum, vodka, etc.) and you use a larger daily dose, divided into 2 doses under the tongue, morning and evening. You hold it there as long as you can, the swallow it. It is absorbed under the tongue. Everyone loses on it just fine. It is the same hcg, just gets into your system differently.
Whichever way you decide to do it, the protocol is THE BEST!!!!!!!!

Hi there, once done with Phase 2 or once you've reached your goal weight, how do you maintain your weightloss? Do I have to eat 500 calories for the rest of my life?
If you go to www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/ you can figure out what your average daily cal intake should be. Just use that as a GUIDE. When you begin p3, pay very close attention to your appetite and just eat enough to satisfy hunger. It may be very little at first, but don't worry, it will increase! As for foods, focus on proteins. Eat veggies (the more raw the better). Include a couple of small fruits a day. Don't worry about fats, but don't go overboard with them. Eat as natural as you can and avoid all the processed meats as much as you can. As soon as your stomach says it's satisfied, STOP!!!!! When having snacks, just nibble on small things: celery/pb, apple/pb, a few nuts (not a whole serving). Normally a couple bites of something is enough to tide you over for the next meal.
Well I don't know about that, but I know that oral orathin worked for me.
I lost 35lbs in 45 days on P2 and I have never lost weioght on any other program and it is now 6 weeks later and I have not gained any weight back. I am starting P2 again on April 25th as I want to lose another 30lbs then I will be at my goal weight. If you follow the eating program in P3 and P4 as Kevin states you should not gain any weight back, you need to stay on a maintenance program and if you gain more than 2lbs you use the steak day. I did not need to use the steak day yet.

I totally agree with Wayne. I too lost 30 pounds and once off the protocol I gained 10 pounds back. You do have to be careful with what you eat and take the HCG again within two weeks. I am trying it again on Saturday and I still think this is a amazing way of weight loss. This time I will loose more than the desired weight to give myself some room to gain.
I have the book, but don't know where to get the stuff that you have to use. We don't have a naturalist around here. I think it is the shots that you have to take. Where can I get them? Sallie
Hi Sallie,
The oral HCG is available on NaturalCures.com but the vials for shots are available on the internet. Go to google.com do an HCG search.
