Healing from the hCG Diet. Hello Weight Watchers!

Wednesday, June 26, 2013

The hCG Diet stole months of my life but I am getting it back. No more Omnitrition! No more hCG Diet! No more Omni Drops! No more Multi-Level Marketing Scams. No more distributors dirty looks :) I'm done with it all.

I'm taking back my health and losing all my hCG weight. Because of my story, so many people are sharing their own or emailing me with their own stories. The hCG Diet, until recently was kept pretty hush hush. Unless you were selling the diet, you didn't really talk about it. I think, deep down, we all know this isn't a safe way to lose weight and that people are going to try and talk us out of it (and rightly so!). With friends and family joining the company to make money, you didn't want to hurt them so it was easier to crawl away after a bad hCG experience and lick your wounds without ever telling anybody.

That is changing. I am seeing more and more bad hCG diet experiences popping up online and even in real life when I share my own story. With all the stories people are sharing, I found a common thread emerging. People who do the hCG diet and gain all the weight back plus some (very common) end up Weight Watchers and have great success. They are getting their health, weight and metabolism back!

I did Weight Watchers many years ago and was successful. Kept the weight off for years but, having a baby and various medical problems, the weight crept up again. I should have considered WW's from the beginning but, you know, I wanted something new. I wanted something quick. I was easily seduced by people who wanted only my money. Learned my lesson the hard way. After seeing the creepy side of the hCG diet crowd, I am just so not a fan.

Joined Weight Watchers and shared a brief, very brief summary of what I've been through with the hCG diet with the newbies who stayed after the meeting and, do you know, two others there just starting as well had done the hCG diet and gained all their weight back plus some! WooHoo! A support group! :)

If you've done the hCG diet and ended up fatter from it or you are experiencing serious health problems, I encourage you to share your story. If my doctor had not encouraged me, I wouldn't have shared my story. I've had friends tell me I kept them from making the same mistake. The hCG crowd is out there and they want fresh blood! Protect your family and friends and share your stories!

And, if you want a healthier way to lose weight and could use a support group, you might want to consider Weight Watchers as well. Skip the other fad diets. No, you don't want to do raspberry ketones. You want to do this the right way. No, it's not a quick weight loss. Yes, they do encourage exercise but, over the long term, you'll be healthier than your hCG friends who will likely end up joining you one day down the road.
