It really works well, you have to buy the real thing and inject it but my mother in law Is a nurse and has done it for herself her husband her son as well as some friends and it seems like magic to me.
They just melt away ecpeccially her husbands beer belly. Anyway that's what I would try if I was in the market for a diet. On a side note it is also supposed to raise your production of testosterone by about 50%.

This. The wife and I both used this - she's down 70 and I'm down 40. At 6'4" and 285, I was on lipitor and 2 blood pressure meds, contemplating a larger pants size, and was headed right for the trash heap and a loss of my medical. Today at 245, I'm down two pant sizes, soon to be rid of the lipitor, one BP med is already gone, and my plane loves me. Best of all, it didn't cost me anything to take those 40 lbs. out of the plane. :P

The best part of this is that after the first couple of days (when weight is melting off you and you're excited to see the numbers), you're not hungry anymore. I will say that you have to be fairly stringent on the diet's protocols (bourbon is not on the approved foods list - which is why I'm only down 40 instead of the 60 that I want), and eating dinner late seems to prevent the weight from coming off, but I can't argue with the results.

So is this the website?

http://hcgdietinfo.com/

Is there anything we should be worried about concerning aviation medicine / medical?

Tell me more about this diet. Where do you get these shots?

HCG injections are by prescription only and listed as a controlled substance, but for weight loss it's given as an "off label" drug, meaning used for something other than it's primary function(s). You may want to see if it's on the FAA "approved" med list (AOPA has a good reference web page). Either way, I'm betting it has to be reported.

Admit you're afraid of the dark. Soak the warmth from scabrock,cheek to lichen. The wind isn't talking to you. Listen anyway. Let the cries of coyotes light a fire in your heart. Remember the terrible song of stars—you knew it once, before you were born.

I used the Master Cleanse for 14 days, went from 315 to 289.
I was using it to lose a little weight and to get ready for my medical?
Had high billyruben? Had to quit the fast early for 4 days and go back and pee again, was negative on the billyruben so got medical.
Great thing it is!, I was going for 21 days, but had to quit.
will be back on it next month in AK when I get settled in.
Took the trip to FL and back, restaurant food the whole trip, 293 this morning!! :mrgreen:
Thanks Jerry for noting it.

Good day


Good job, Rob. You certainly aren't the same guy I met 5 years ago that day at Starbucks (he was much bigger.)


My new life style seems to be working. Yesterday I was so close to 169 I decided to just drink 3 shots of Makers Mark till dinner. Look what happened.

Not real weight loss. But fun to see that number. I had a great dinner. This morning 169.0 Still off the diabetes meds. :P

G'Day

This post was from April 21st I just keep plugging away at the weight. Yesterday was a busy day. Walked the daughter to school 2 miles, flew to Tillamook, had a chef salad at the cafe and road the bike 3.5 miles each way to meet the county planning folks. Then flew on down to Pacific City and mowed the grass and weed whacked my VIP grass parking. Flew back to Troutdale and met the wife for dinner at Shari's. Oatmeal, veggies and coffee. Went home and got on the tractor and mowed grass till dark.

I was 215 in 2006 when I was diagnosed with Diabetes. I got down to 170 in early 2007. By 2011 I had crept back up to 200, that's when I started back down to my current position.

NEW REAL WEIGHT!!! READY FOR THIS, drum roll please...............166.5 I need 32 waist pants the 33s will fall off with out a belt.
