Prior to Medshape, I tried the hCG diet eating only 500 calories a day. I went through a med spa in the valley who had a doctor. I felt very safe because I got to actually meet with the doctor. Little did I know how my life was about to change. Sure, I lost weight and also lost approximately 1/3 of my hair and never lost my appetite. I went to my family doctor due to feeling so horrible and the major hair loss. I was told within 10 minutes that my body was in complete starvation regardless of being on hCG. I received no response from the med spa and never saw the doctor there again. I lost 22 pounds in 6 weeks, following the diet to a “T”. After I finished the cycle, I was in disbelief when I gained 9 pounds back the first week! A month after I finished my diet I noticed three co workers losing weight and eating a lot of food. This is when I heard about Medshape. I was reluctant to try hCG again but went in for a consultation to see how they are different. The best decision I made! I ate almost 2000 calories a day, had no appetite and tons of energy. Zero side effects. I lost 31.5 pounds in 6 weeks and have maintained it for over 7 months now.”

I am a nurse and had a baby two years ago. I first tried hCG because a bunch of my nurse friends / co workers bought it off the internet and printed off the Dr. Simeons diet. It was cheap and all I have been hearing about. Within two weeks of being on the diet, I barely had enough energy to make it through work, let alone take care of my child. In addition to the fatigue the only piece of clothing I needed a smaller size in was my bra. This diet is crazy. Between feeling I had no energy and wanting to eat everything in site and only having my friends to turn to (who basically felt the same way) was all I could handle. I lasted 2.5 weeks. With Medshape it was different. I lost my weight of 52 pounds and still see Medshape twice a month to keep my weight off. WAY different than a 500 calorie fad diet. Do not make the mistake I did.”

I did the hCG with 500 calories a day. Going through menopause I started gaining weight faster than I have in the past. After a few years I it was hard for me to recognize myself. Of course I was desperate. All I have been hearing about on the internet and radio was this hCG stuff along with a 500 calorie diet. I thought this was going to be the perfect fit. I I started losing weight almost immediately but felt tired and looked tired. After being on the diet for 6 weeks I went for my annual check up with and was told that my bone density has worsen to the point that I now have Osteoporosis. REAL PATIENTS… REAL RESULTS! When my doctor asked what had happen since my last scan, I told her about my weight gain and what I did to lose the weight. I told her I also noticed my skin seemed more saggy and asked if that had anything to do with it. My doctor said that both the decrease in bone density and the saggy skin were signs that my body was eating itself from lack of nutrition. She also informed me that hCG is not a magic shot and actually referred me to Medshape. Once I started working with Medshape, not only did I feel better but they helped me lose fast and increase my bone density to the point that I no longer have Osteoporosis. It is taking awhile but my skin seems to be tightening up. I am so thankful to Medshape and my doctor referring me. PS. The weight loss has been great also.”

The 500 calorie diet with hCG was impossible for me to stick to. At the end of the day, everyday, I would have eaten a cardboard box. This is how hungary I was. I didn’t lose much weight at all because I was to weak to stick to the diet 100% for a long enough period to lose. Medshape has been so easy and I am never hungary. Actually I have to force myself to eat.“

I was sick most of the time when I tried hCG with the 500 calorie diet. It was the worst diet I ever did. I will NEVER do that again. Thanks to Medshape, I don’t have to worry about it. This program has been so easy and a total lifestyle change. The best part is I am eating all day and losing a heck of alot of weight.

OMG… hCG with Medshape versus hCG on 500 calories? If you want leg cramps, hunger pains, gain all your weight back, ruin your ,metabolism and screw up your thyroid by starving yourself, like I did, do hCG with the original 500 calorie diet. I am now on more medication and bigger than I was before I did hCG with the Dr. Simeons Protocol. I ruined my thyroid and need to take medication for it for the rest of my life. This happened clearly from messing up my Adreneal gland, Pituitary and Thyroid from the extreme minimal caloric intake. I gained all my weight back practically overnight, really within a month of stopping the hCG and 500 calorie diet. This is 26 pounds. I found Medshape through a survey on stress I took. I went in for a free consultation and felt very confident in what they had to tell me. They are different. Medshape took my situation and custom designed a program with hCG and a much higher (even carbs) calorie diet. I feel wonderful. I am 68 and this is the first time I have been this small since high school. I truly love these guys.”

500 calories and hCG does not work. I was starving every day, had major hair loss, horrible looking skin and minimal weight loss. I am a type 2 diabetic and was constantly hypoglycemic even though the doctor in Gilbert said it would cure my Type 2 Diabetes and I would reset my metabolism. At the end of 6 weeks I had to go on a break. I gained all the weight I lost back in the six weeks I was on my break. My Diabetes were no better and I felt worse. No help from the doctor who put me on the hCG and 500 calories. I kept hearing about Medshape and desperate to lose weight, I gave them a try. I was determined not to do some crazy 500 calorie thing again and I did not. I am happy and over 40 pounds lighter and no longer Type 2 Diabetic!”
