"When you go on the HCG diet, your body will undergo some amazing transformations. Not only will you lose a substantial amount of weight, your body contour will actually change and your body will reprogram itself in a number of weighs. In addition, your body will actually reprogram itself in a number of ways. Namely, your hypothalamus will make adjustments to its metabolic weight. These changes are integral in helping you lose weight while you are on the HCG diet program. But, what happens to your body weight once you stop getting HCG injections.
Your Appetite After the HCG Diet
After you stop receiving HCG injections, you will likely find that your appetite has changed. While you are receiving the HCG injections, you will be following a low calorie diet. This will help your stomach become used to eating smaller quantities of food. At the same time, you will have made drastic changes to your eating behavior that will stay with you for life. Since your body has made such major changes, such as those in your hypothalamus, it will also continue to be more effective and will help you keep your appetite lower.
Making Changes to Your Exercise Routine
In order to maintain the results you gained from your HCG injections, it is also beneficial to implement a regular exercise routine. You don’t have to go overboard with your exercise routine. In fact, simply fitting fifteen minutes of cardio into your daily routine should be good enough to help you keep your new figure. You might also want to engage in yoga or any other activity that you enjoy that will help you get your heart pumping. Since your hypothalamus was reset with the help of your HCG injections, you will find that your metabolism is more efficient. This means your exercise routine will be more effective after you have undergone the HCG injection therapy.
Some people choose to continue with their HCG injections for a long period of time in order to make sure the weight stays off. Those that suffer from illnesses that tend to result in weight gain are more likely to decide to continue with the treatments for an extended period of time. Since the hormone is completely safe and side effects are rare, choosing to use HCG for a long period of time should not be problematic.
If you do decide to stop taking HCG injections to assist you with weight loss, you should find that it is relatively easy to keep those pounds off. If you do find yourself putting the weight back on, however, you might want to consider using HCG injection therapy once more in order to get yourself back on track."

By: Ciela | 25-05-2008
had an abortion almost eight weeks ago and I' still grieving. It was something I did because my fiance felt we should wait and in some ways so did I. But My fiance and i have been having a lot of unprotected sex. I still havent gotten my period. I took two urine pregnancy test that were negative..but my doctor did a blood test and my hcg level was at seven. I've read that the only way to be sure its negative is if its under 5.. but my doctor still told me it was negative..is there a chance i could've gotten pregnant again?
How soon can i take a pregnancy test?
By: mary128 | 06-03-2008
Hi,I had sex on Feb 22/23/24, and only on these three days since my last period. I expected my period to come on Feb 27th (although I am usually irregular +/- 4 days). My last period started Jan. 30th. Anyway I have not gotten my period yet. I took a home pregnancy test on Mar. 4th and it was negative, but I am pretty sure that I tested too early. I bought a second test (brand E.P.T) and I don't want to waste it. Does anyone know how much longer I should wait before taking it? I want to ensure that it can give me an accurate answer based on the level of hcg in my urine? Especially since (if I am pregnant) conception was less then 2 weeks ago, I might not get an accurate answer yet. How much longer should I wait before I test again?
