What is the hCG Diet? The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet (VLCD) accompanied by treatments of hCG, rather oral or injected. The average hCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day. In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.
Quick overview:
125 iu of hCG is administered daily (with the exception of menstruation. )
Until 3rd injection the patient eats excessively.
Following the third injection, the 500 calorie diet and personal care product restrictions are applied and continue through 72 hours after the last injection.
For the continuing 3 weeks, all foods are allowed except sugar and starch- this includes sweet fruits.
After the 3 weeks. starches are introduced into the diet in very small quantities and weight is monitored to ensure weight maintenance.

doing way more harm to your body than good.
suggest reading up on these sorts of things, your really REALLY messing up your base line metabolism, and it WONT recover from it, you set the bench mark lower and lower every time you use a starvation diet such as this.
your body needs a minimum of 1200 cals every day just to run your basic bodily functions, keep your body temp stable etc things like that... 500cals along with placenta hormones - so very wrong.

"i have lost 7kgs in about 12-13 days"
You do realise very little of this will be fat loss? Alot of it will be from your energy stores in your muscle, and for every unit of energy stored, there are 3 molecules of water bound to it. So energy + water would be a major component. also the fact your body isnt getting enough energy to repair its muscles (they need protein for protein synthesis which repairs muscle) - its using the energy it would normally use to do this process just to survive so you potentilly may be getting muscle loss also.
I have seen personally people who have had arrythmias in their heart caused by rapid weight loss like this; they can cause irreversible defects to the heart valves also.
There are much safer and natural ways to lose weight than exposing yourself to this sort of torture.

actually you are dead wrong on the hcg diet you lose fat not muscle. it would be great if you actually researched the hcg diet before spouting out non truths

the hcg diet
* Lose 1kg+ (2. 2 pounds) a day * Lose fat (not muscle or bone) * Lose weight from stubborn to shift areas (stomach, hips, thighs etc)
And: *You don't need to exercise to lose the weight * You won't look haggard * Your skin will remain supple * You won't feel hungry * You'll relearn what foods work for your body * You'll reset your hypothalamus so you won't regain the weight you lose
HCG is the ingredient that "mobilises" abnormal/hard to shift fat from problem areas (stomach, hips & thighs, arms) and makes it available for use by the body as fuel. Taken while following the Dr Simeons' diet, users can expect to lose about 1kg (2. 2 pounds) of body fat per day.

So you are losing 7kgs in 2 weeks and don't exercise on a 500cal diet. Good luck in surviving this!
It would be good if you realize that you are actually losing very little fat, but actual lean muscle - AND that as soon as you stop doing this dangerous regime you will be putting it ALL back on and then some more.
If you'd be serious about losing weight AND keeping it off then you would either do something like weight watchers or a low carb diet and lose 500g to 1 kg a week and do strength building exercises to GROW lean muscle.
However it seems you got sucked into something there that you don't understand. You definitely don't understand the longterm consequences.
As I said above: Good luck!

If you want to measure fat loss then go to a gym and get an assessment. They will tell you if you are losing muscle or fat. LOL
You are just copying stuff from a website without understanding what it is you are copying.
