Hello lovely hCGers. This interview is part of what is now a plethora of weight loss success stories with real everyday women (and men! There’s a few dude interviews in there) who have used either hCG injections or drops with the hCG diet protocol to lose between 20 and 150 lbs.

ADELE’S BASIC STATS:

For this interview, we have the lovely Adele Frizzell, the author of “The HCG diet, Fact and Fiction”.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, it’s an excellent book with lots of really good information.

Adele first tried the hCG diet 5 years ago.

“I did my first round of hCG 5 years ago. I had a lot of trouble losing weight” Adele explained. She had signed up with a doctor who supplied her with the injections. She also got B12 shots every 2 weeks. After 30 days of being on the diet, Adele lost 17 pounds and was amazed and elated at the result. She, however, did not have a plan after finishing her round and she gradually gained the weight back.

Fast forward to five years later, at 48 years old, Adele started going through menopause and her weight got to 194 pounds. She was anxious and uncomfortable about her size and she felt the impact her weight had on her health as well. She started experiencing sleep apnea and her cholesterol rose to risky levels.

Adele was at a loss for what to do. She even hired diet coaches, a dietician, and a nutritionist. She tried different diets and did a lot of research, but what little weight she lost (she could not lose more than 10 pounds) she would always gain back. Adele thought back on when she did the hCG diet and lost a lot of weight with it so she decided to give it another go.

Adele was at 194 pounds when she went on the hCG diet again and this time she tried the homeopathic drops. During the first week she lost a lot of weight, but then the drops was unable to curb her hunger and she started bingeing. Every day she would try to get back on track but she couldn’t and after 3 weeks, she ended up losing just 7 pounds.

Since she did not do so well on the homeopathic drops, Adele did some more research and that was when she came across hcgchica.com. On the website, she read about other people’s success stories and saw recommendations for hCG suppliers. She thought about how she found success before with the hCG injections and decided to try it again, this time ordering from Nu Image.

Adele went on the 21-day program and it worked immediately. She noticed that her hunger went away and she quickly started losing weight. She decided she wanted to keep going and this time ordered her supplies from Diet Doc. Adele lost a total of 21 pounds (28 pounds including what she lost from the drops), bringing her weight down to 167 pounds. She fitted her clothes again and she felt sexy and confident.

I have talked to lots of hCGers and I respect everyone’s preference, but you guys know that I am partial to the real hormones. While some have found success using the homeopathic drops, Adele’s results were not as remarkable. However, it is great that she was able to try the different variants and found which one worked best for her. Adele believes that some of the success with homeopathic hcg come from appetite suppressants that are included in its formulation or because a keto diet is sometimes recommended while using them. A keto diet has been shown to reduce carb cravings and hunger in some people.

For those of you who are doing homeopathic drops, if you start having trouble as you get smaller and leaner, keep in mind that it may be a good idea to transition at that point to the real hormone. Just some food for thought

For someone her age, going through menopause and who, like me, also has Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism, Adele’s weight loss of 28 pounds (or about half a pound a day) is pretty AWESOME.

Adele also tried weight watchers and was 100% compliant while on the diet, but unfortunately did not lose a pound on it.  She believes it was more because of her thyroid condition because she was probably under medicated for a lot of years. She believes that unless your hormones are in decent shape, then it will be very difficult to lose weight.
