I have been doing the HCG for 1 week lost 9lbs, I want to transform my body into a body builder type body. I want to know can I use supplements and lift weights while doing the HCG, or will it cause HCG not to work properly? Thanks in Advance!

It's difficult to lose body fat and gain muscle at the same time. One requires a calorie deficit and the other a calorie surplus. On 500 cals a day, bodybuilding is not a good idea. You won't be able to sustain heavy lifting. I would concentrate on losing fat, maybe a little cardio, then start weights when in P3 at a higher calorie level.

I am not shooting for body building body but I am lifting 6 days a week while in p2. I have kinda stalled a bit lately but I am not able to do measurements to tell. I feel much smaller my clothes are much looser and I don't put much stock in the numbers. I found this article when I was researching http://getfitguy.quickanddirtytips.c...same-time.aspx and u can find a million out there that say the opposite but this one wasent trying to sell any thing and while being simple to understand was based on studys. I had another one that actually showed the study info but can't find it right now. The diet says don't work out too much, I have tons of energy and feel great and I am looking great even doing bulking reps with the hubby (idk if that's what it's called...high weight at like 8 reps 3 times) its up to u though it's your body do what feels right

I have been adding in egg protein. Mine has no sugar or anything added. It is pricy though.
