hey guys im 19 year old male and i have struggled with my weight forever. but as a sophmore in high school i was 150 which the slimest ever for me and i loves it but now im at my highest 225 and i tried thee hcg diet earlier in the year with the hcg 1234 drops but due to headaches and hunger and lack of knowledge of the diet i failed and im really just trying to get to the point i was a few years ago. i was wondering how long can it take to get back to that point where can i get drops that actually work, and i also have a big appetite what can i use or take to stop that and control it.

I would recommend that you read the stickies at the top of the Newcomer board for best information. Also, it is imperative that you read Pounds & Inches at least once, and several times would be better.

I don't use homeopathic, but I do believe I've read that hcg 1234 had to change their formula and it no longer contains hcg in it. I could be wrong, but I think I remember reading that. You can ask on the homeopathic board for recommendations of brands that do contain hcg. The lack of hcg or an incorrect dose would account for your hunger. If you are on a correct dose of real or real homeopathic hcg, you will not be hungry after the first few days. Headaches are a normal detox reaction the first week.

On the hcg protocol, you can expect to lose .5 to 1 lb a day. Men tend to lose closer to the top of the average, but not always. You can't do a round longer than 40 days of hcg or 34 lbs, and you must wait 6 weeks between rounds 1 and 2. This isn't like a regular diet. You must follow Dr. Simeons protocol exactly with no cheating or your hypothalamus will not be reset properly. And you must follow the 6 weeks of P3 and P4, too. So, you'll lose quickly on the vlcd phase, but you'll stabilize for several weeks in between.

I'm concerned that you "need to lose a lot of weight fast". That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself. While you will lose quickly on this, you will be learning about your body and what makes you gain weight. You'll need to take the time to do that so you don't gain all the weight back. This isn't easy and it isn't a quick fix. It is a medical and hormonal protocol that can help you reset your metabolism.
