61 POUNDS in less than 3 months!!, December 21, 2010

By 

M. Hughes (Long Island, NY) – See all my reviews

  

I am on my third bottle and I have lost to date 61 pounds in 2 and 1/2 months. I have tried so many different diet pills, fat burners etc. but have NEVER seen results like this. Unbelievable. If you are new to HCG, the HCG protocol ( the diet you need to follow while using the product) is a little tough at first, but it is worth it. A lot of people complain that they can’t stick with the diet and I can understand that, but anything worth doing is at least a little difficult. If you are serious about losing weight and want to make a positive improvement in your life like I did, this is the real deal. But you have to make a real effort in order for it to work. I chose this formula because of all the positive reviews. I wanted to find the best possible HCG formula because I was serious about doing this diet and I wanted to make sure that the product I chose was a serious, quality formula. I have tried one other formula I purchased on Amazon before this, and I honestly think it was just water. You have to be careful because HCG is so popular now as the new quick way to lose weight and there are a lot of shady companies trying to cash in and rip people off. When I received my first bottle, it came with a diet plan and some info about the formula. They mention in the pamphlet that the product has a strong taste, and let me tell you, they aren’t kidding, It tastes awful. But they tell you that this is not for casual dieters, this stuff is a formula for people who are looking for a serious weight loss product and want to lose a lot of weight. If you are buying it for taste then you got your priorities wrong. One unique thing about extreme HCG is that it contains several weight loss herbs in the formula. This is one of the reasons that this stuff works so well. Not only do the herbs help you burn fat and drop pounds faster, but they give you a ton of energy throughout the day, which you are going to need if you are doing the protocol correctly and eating the 500 calorie diet. It even comes with a money back guarantee (not that you will actually need it). I can not recommend this stuff highly enough

Best formula I have tried, August 22, 2010

Today is day 14 and I have lost 16.8 pounds so far!! Looove this product! I have tried two other formulas(Yavonae and Natural Health Labs) and had some success but none eliminated the hunger pains as well as these drops. I also don’t feel tired and run down like I did on the other drops. I have a nice diet but definitely not as low as 500 calories and the weight is STILL melting off. If you are new to hcg the one thing I can say however is drink LOTS of water. It will help you feel less tired during the day plus if you are hydrate yourself, you will be less likely to get headaches from the low calorie diet.

Excellent quality, fast results, November 10, 2010

Great product. I bought this for my wife after doing some research. You have to be careful buying hcg sometimes because potency can vary greatly and there are some very shady manufacturers that will sell it without any actual hcg in it. I did a little research and the lab that creates this formula are very reputable and were one of the first companies to sell hcg for weight loss. So you are definitely getting the strongest concentration out there. And my wife can vouch for its effectiveness. She has lost close to 12 pounds in 9 days. We’ll post an update with more results in a month or so

Master Your Metabolism, July 4, 2009

Interesting book though far, far too much science in it for the average person (BTW – I have a Master’s degree and a former college roommate is now a registered dietician so I’ve been around related books and discussions and still found this hard to follow).

Also, it’s far too extreme for the average person. For example, we can’t all afford 100 percent organic all the time nor can we completely avoid plastic wrap and related carrying containers. Also, the book contradicts itself in a lot of places. I suspect the editor was MIA when it came to cross referencing.

The bottom line in this book is to stop eating all the fake food that we currently put into our systems and you’ll lose weight. Since reading this book, I’ve significantly cut processed foods loaded with chemicals (yes, that means the Activia yogurt, low calorie jello and pudding, cool whip and other so called low calorie snacks that actually make you gain weight). I’ve replaced a lot of food staples with organic and have seen a big difference in my weight and disposition.

For the person who wants to get smarter about the way ‘the man’ is ruining our diets and making money through cheap, processed foods, the core elements of this book could have been better addressed in a 500-750 article along the lines of ‘Top 10 Ways to Lose Real Weight and Keep it Off.’ Here’s some key tips from the book to save yourself the time and expense of reading it:

1. Stop eating chemicals because your body doesn’t know how to process them, therefore, you gain weight.

2. Choose the real food (real cheese, for example) over the lower fat because you’ll eat less and feel more satiated.

3. Go organic when possible.

4. You can still eat chocolate and drink wine but everything in moderation.

5. Opt for glassware over plastic to cut down more chemical absorption.

6. Those 100 calorie snacks are pure marketing and chemicals.

7. You still have to work out, people. And really work out to break a sweat.

8. The amount of chemicals that have snuck into our food system has reached an alarming rate. Makes you wonder about the rise in cancer, diabetes and auto immune diseases.

9. Think twice about OTC drugs as they also contain chemicals.

10. Eat better/eat right and you can cut down a lot of health issues and drop a few pounds while you’re at it.

Weight is finally coming off after months of ZERO!!, April 22, 2009

By 

Regina Saric (Minnesota) – See all my reviews

  

FINALLY seeing progress again! Wasn’t sure to purchase this book or not but the points seemed to fit my situation to a ‘T’ so I gave it a shot.

I’m not an organic person and never avoided anything processed before. So this is all a HUGE jump for me.

Let me first sum up my situation: Lost 50 pounds in the last 2 years and still need to drop another 50 pounds. I was eating between 1200 and 1400 calories a day and working out EVERYDAY for 45 minutes cardio/weights. I was doing everything right and everything that went in my mouth went in my food journal. There was no cheating and no excuses. According to my calorie intake and calorie burn I should have dropped 2 pounds a week consistantly. And every week when I got on the scale it was up 2 pounds or didn’t move! Total frustration and wanted to just SCREAM!

Then I see this new Jillian Michaels MASTER YOUR METABOLISM and the point of the scale not moving no matter how good you ate and how hard you worked out. HEY what did I have to lose!?

So it has been 10 days on her program and sticking to it faithfully and the weight is just pealing away! Down 8 pounds in just 10 days, like my body has finally said “OK… time to let it go”. I haven’t changed my workouts, they are still constant. I am following her main guidelines for eating and am consuming WAY more in volume of food and the calories I’m keeping at the 1200-1400. I feel soo full, never craving any junk. And I think, no way I’m going to lose weight because I feel soo bloated but in the morning…. the scale shows another drop!

It works for me and I’m not going to go back! 3 months of perfect work and no results VERSUS changing to a healthier eating plan and more food volume with RESULTS! Took about 5 days before the scale and my body agreed to start releasing the pounds.

Endorsed by a licensed M.D. endocrinologist, very thorough and easy to read…, April 7, 2009

By 

M. Benson – See all my reviews

  

I have read a lot of books on physiology, more specifically hormones and metabolism, written by people with board-certified medical degrees. This book explains almost all of what the others do, plus more recent research, in a much easier to read format with helpful charts and references. I was very surprised a book of this quality could come from a non-degreed personal trainer. I have a new respect for Jillian Michaels for passing along medical researched-based facts (many pages of peer-reviewed medical references in the back if you want to check the sources) and dispelling myths like working out on an empty stomach, and the problems with soy and other substances interacting with hormones. Her own story is very interesting and there is a very thorough section explaining hormones and their interconnecting roles in our health. I’ve already started cleaning out my fridge and cabinets.
