Free HCG Diet Checklist: 4 Signs You Bought Bad or Fake HCG

hcg diet-hcg drops-hcg weight lossHere’s the handy little HCG Diet checklist I developed…

…for my coaching members and thought you’d be interested in it too.

So, you asked for it (heck, some of you demanded it). I listened.

Here it is:

  • Want to know if the HCG you just spent your hard-earned money on is any good?
  • Want to know if it is actually HCG at all (i.e., homeopathic HCG Diet drops)?
  • Better yet, would you like to know before you bought it?

The person/company who sold you the HCG knows it’s not the good stuff when…

1. They also want to sell you something that reads like this (actual quote from a homeopathic fake HCG site: “…a revolutionary metabolizer to help you lose weight without hunger pain…”)

FACT: Sorry Charlie, but on the HCG Diet? Real Rx (pharmaceutical) HCG handles that trick quite nicely and you don’t need any additional anythings to do the job of the Rx HCG. This isn’t always just for homeopathic HCG Diet drops, sometimes unscrupulous Rx HCG clinics and doctors (though it’s rare that doctors will do this) will want to move their older inventory out the door first.

Expired Rx HCG can produce diminished results as well. Always check the expiration date when you first get it, however you get it… whomever you get it from.

If your doc or clinic is administering your HCG Diet program, ask to see the expiration date. Make sure you see them mix it for you, from that package. I’m serious! You’re paying hundreds to thousands more in mark-up, so you have the right to demand it.

2. They give you a list of HCG Diet “…best foods to curb hunger and lose weight faster.”

FACT: Again, why is this needed when pharmaceutical HCG curbs hunger and makes you lose weight quickly and safely on your HCG Diet journey?

Correction: this is why you need fresh Rx HCG on each round of your HCG Diet (see comments in #1 above). You see the homeopathic HCG Diet drops sellers touting this tired old “best foods” list online a lot. And then to make matters worse, hundreds of people circulate it without realizing they’re recycling ignorance.

And even though the food list in Pounds & Inches desperately, desperately needs to be updated… it’s still better than this.

3. Replace good HCG with homeopathic fake HCG Diet drops & phony motivational platitudes for success

FACT: On a starvation diet (aka anything with homeopathic HCG), it takes a lot of mental energy and Will to force yourself to not eat when your body screaming at you to eat, because you’re starving yourself into weight loss by using what science considers to be the equivalent of a placebo. Look it up. There is no scientific basis for homeopathic HCG Diet drops.

4. They offer to give you B12 “booster shots” and anything else to “help” their “HCG” work better/faster/etc.

FACT: Like I always say, now everyone say it with me now, when you’re using real (unexpired) Rx HCG you don’t need other substances to “help it work better.” ‘Nuff said.

There is a great product that helps your entire HCG Diet experience, Nu Image’s MIC-Ultra Burn – but it’s not required to have your HCG Diet operate at peak levels.

5. Prescribe Class 4 narcotics — amphetamines i.e., “speed” to kill your appetite and help you feel “up” and improve your mood

FACT: Nothing really to add to my answers to #’s 1, 2, 3 and 4. Except this: it’s a dangerous, dangerous “supplement” and you should run from the doctor or any HCG Diet clinic that tries to give you some. “Just Say No” like you want your kids to do when encountering a drug dealer on the street.

Have You Asked YOUR HCG Diet Question?

  • Trouble on the HCG Diet?
  • Have you plateaued?
  • Not losing enough weight?
  • Gaining when you should be losing on your HCG Diet journey?
  • Want to know if Rx HCG Diet sublingual drops work?

The man some are calling “…the greatest HCG diet’er that ever lived” personally answers your most burning questions. All you just have to to do is leave me a comment below.

    I wanted to put in my 2 cents on this one because I think it affects the “hunger” factor. Many of us gained weight from emotional eating – not from the biological need for sustenance. So I think it’s only natural that if your overeating is due to unaddressed emotional issues, emotional hunger could persist despite being on “good” hCG.

    For the one round I did I can indeed say there were days of feeling sorry for myself that lead to cheating. If I took the time to analyze it, I wasn’t physically needing food, I needed the psychological fix it gave me.

    Walter, I hope you dig into mindset and games we play in our subconscious that lead to self sabotage.

    You must be psychic. I’m working on something to address this. I’ve talked a lot about the physical things to do and have avoided the mental aspects because I wanted to get folks focused on what worked as far as the mechanics of the HCG Diet. I’ve heard from you and many others that they want more of the mental, too. And so, you guys talk and I listen.

    Stay tuned…

    Tammy,

    The way the HCG looks in your vials is basically how I’ve seen it look, so I think that part’s normal.

    Day 14 and only 9 lbs? It’s good, just not great. So yeah, I’m agreeing with you, potentially. A factor can also be how much weight you had to lose. Though something seems to be off. Check the expiration dates.

    > What is really getting me is the cost. I paid $500.00, and that includes weekly measure and weigh in as well as a visit with the doctor for my 3 week phase III.

    That’s a clinic for you. Ask that doctor if HE’s ever done the HCG diet. Paying all that money extra for a doctor would only have value if they had been on the diet before and could help you troubleshoot difficultites — and they will come up. But it’s wasted to just have someone measure and “monitor” you. Heck, your GP will do that for a lot less.

    And it’s a problem that so many are jumping on the HCG bandwagon without any experience. That’s why I wrote this post, to give folks like you Tammy some guidelines by which to monitor the doctors and clinics. Nothing demands accountability like a smart patient asking to see the box, the expiration date and insist they mix it right there in front of you.

    I doub the pharmacy goofed. Seems it’s more like an potency issue which means expired/close to expirating and/or mixed incorrectly.

    The hunger not going away immediately has me leaning towards the potency/expiration date issue. 10 days? Uff! How in the world did you do it?

    Let me know how else I can help, okay? And thanks for commenting.

    Walter

  • Lisang_85

    ok so i bought a few bottles for myself and family off of e-bay but i am a little curios to why they were autioned so cheap. Has anybody heard of HCG chrome??? i would feel so embarassed it i gave these fakes to my family. I bought one other bottle from a lady who had great feed back so im not curious abouot that. Ant clue if its a fake? You can go on ebay and look it up HCG CHROME.

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    I did look it up and sorry, it’s cheap, worthless homeopathic HCG (a contradiction in terms), not real prescription HCG. Yes, it is fake. I mean seriously, a couple of bucks for a bottle? What possible good could come from that?

    They were so cheap because there’s nothing in that bottle other than tap water and purified alcohol.

    If you use what you bought anyway, then you will damage your body. Read a few posts on this site to get educated on what happens to your body when you use the wrong HCG.

  • Lildebinatl2003

    I was wondering what you thought about All day Chemist? I ordered my hcg from there (5000 IU). I see you talk about Phamacy Escrow but not them. I have heard good things from them but wanted your feed back. Thanks

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    I’ve never promoted ADC because we could never get their HCG to test at a consistent rate. One batch would test in the 90′s and then the next would be in the 70′s and that was just too much variance for something I’d put my name behind to recommend.

    Also worth remembering, that if any pharmacy bills themselves as having the cheapest HCG, you want to steer away from that. And that’s been ADC’s claim to fame. Remember, you’re putting PHARMACEUTICALS into your body, now is not the time to go cheap and take chances.

    Being as you’ve already bought there before you asked your question, then there’s not a lot you can do about it. Hopefully, you got a high level batch and all of this is academic.

    I’ve got my toes and fingers crossed for you!

    I talked a lot about that here “Rx HCG On The HCG Diet – Does Brand Matter? HCG Myth Exploded” http://gutlessinseattle.com/2774/rx-hcg-on-the-hcg-diet-does-brand-matter-hcg-myth-exploded/

    Good question, thanks!

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    Vpatel,

    1. Not that I’ve seen. Easier for SC shots because the needle is smaller and you don’t have to be as precise as w/I’m.

    2. Depends on your biochem. About a 50/50 spilt. Some can use Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to accelerate fat loss, but for others, they’ll gain weight.

    Don’t believe everything you read online. Most of the time, it’s someone’s uneducated, untested opinion that they’re trying to pass off as a fact.

    > but I am REALLY nervous about starting. I could use all the help I can get!

    Then stay tuned. I’m briefly opening up the HCG Diet Success Coaching Program this week, so make sure you’re on the list if you don’t want to go it alone:

    Good questions!

  • Rebecca Naomi

    Why have you changed pharmacies? Has something changed with Pharmacy Escrow? 

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    You must not read this blog, Rebecca. It’s all detailed there.

  • Lisa

    A friend I know has had her drops for about a year. Are they still good??

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    Not of big fan of Releana or any HCG that’s premixed. Your complaint is one I’ve often heard about Releana so you may have experienced this even if your power hadn’t went out.

    Whatever the cause (though, with Releana’s notorious tendency to act as a weak version of HCG — somewhere between Rx and homeopathic), w/o knowing more and going off only the information you gave me… your symptoms could be two things: something is wrong with your HCG or it’s the way you’re doing the diet.

    > By the way I did not eat enough of fatty food I think too on loading days

    Why? It’s very clear that the point of load days is to get as much fat and the right kind of fats into your system as possible. Knowing this, and you obviously do since you told me you didn’t eat enough, why didn’t you?

    Still 12 lbs in 11 days is great! You just need to solve the hunger problem.

    And you should mind “starving.” If it’s actual starvation (doubtful) and not emotional hunger (likely, then there may be a problem with your HCG. When the HCG Diet is done correctly (something few people do) there are only moments of hunger which are quickly remedied.

    Anyway, w/o knowing more, that’s my first blush assessment on your status. Hope it helps.

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    Who’s the “they” who have been advising you? Let’s start there.

  • Fog1970

    So my naturopath had me fill my prescription and give it to him.  He then gave me 7 days of prefilled syringes.  Well I have two weeks worth of syringes in my fridge.  I decided to check to make sure that it was indeed HCG as I’m not the one that filled the syringes.  Well I used two separate home pregnancy test’s with two different prefilled syringes.  Both pregnancy test’s came out NEGATIVE.  Does this mean I have been injecting a solution that is worthless?  It would make sense as I’m not losing weight.  I’m very disheartened and very, very angry!

    Not only did I pay to go to the pharmacy and get the HCG but I handed it over to him and assumed that what he was giving me in return was also legit. 

  • Fog1970

    There is a question in my long-winded post above.  The question:  Is my hCG worthless?  I’m stuck with 10 syringes of it.  Shall I bother injecting it?  Help please!

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    Hi,

    I would say that based on what you’ve told me, that your HCG is indeed worthless. This is why I never recommend buying premixed HCG. If you do a search on this blog you’ll seen I’ve warned folks about this many times.

    It’s either cheap, expired or in the process of expiring. It may even be homeopathic HCG which would also explain why it doesn’t register on the stick.

    I’ve heard of some doctors (mercifully very few) doing that to cut corners.

    First I’d see if all the syringes are bad.

    You said you’re not losing weight, are you also measuring bodyfat percentage?

    Are you hungry as well?

    I’m sorry this happened to you.

    But let’s look at the lemonade you can make from this lemon.

    Based on what you find out from running the above troubleshooting steps, then you need to have a conversation with that doctor.

    Keep me posted and maybe I can coach you on Next Steps.

  • Fog1970

    I didn’t purchase premixed hCG.  Well I did and I didn’t.  I got the the prescription filled at my pharmacy.  I then handed the prescription to my naturopath.  Who then made the solution and filled the syringes.  Had I known it would not be done correctly I would have done the mixing and loading of the syringes myself.  I’m just so flipping mad right now. 
    So to get the prescription filled cost me almost 90 bucks. I handed him the actual hCG and he in turn gives prefilled syringes which costs me an extra $56. a week. He is away until Thursday.  Until then I’m stuck with lots of useless, expensive syringes filled with who knows what?

    My plan is to suck it up until Thursday.  Get a new prescription and fill the syringes myself.  It just sucks to have to start all over again.  I’m anxious to start losing weight and postponing it is starting to get to me.

    I, of course, don’t want to confront him on this until I have my new prescription filled.

    Gah! 

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    > Get a new prescription and fill the syringes myself.

    I think this is the Life Lesson lemonade to make of all this: the more hands your HCG passes through before it gets in your body, the greater the chance for error.

    In all fairness, it may have been an honest mistake (though I can’t imagine what the explanation could be).

    > I’m anxious to start losing weight and postponing it is starting to get to me.

    I do know what THAT was like!

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    It’s why “chain of custody” is so important in legal cases, which I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t watched too many CSI episodes.

  • Fog1970

    Well I went and confronted the doc.  He claimed to not know how or why it would have been negative.  The pregnancy test that is.  He gave me a new prescription for 10000IU of HCG.

    The pharmacy will call me shortly and I will be picking it up.  The doc wants me to take it back to him and we will fill up the syringes together.  But I don’t know if I want to bother doing that. 

    I showed him the Three tests that tested negative and besides going back and filling up the syringes he did not offer any of my money back. 

    I just want to do this!  I have my foods and proper hygiene supplies ready.  I don’t know if I need to bother loading again.  I don’t think I want to. 

    This should not be this difficult.

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    When it is mixed up, you should both test it to make sure of the potency. 

    Also, HCG has to be refrigerated after mixing. Perhaps your doc didn’t do that. I’m assuming you did when you got it home.

    Once it is mixed it can be used for approximately 45 days while under refrigeration.  It can be unrefrigerated for up to 2 days without spoilage if keep in normal temperatures.

    Is there a way to test whether or not the homeopathis hcg pellets I have are authentic? I have been losing and have not experienced real hunger. I am now on day 8 P2 round 1 and gained 2 lbs. today. No cheating either. The ONLY thing that i do that does not follow protocol is I may chew 1-2 sticks of sugarless gum a day.

  • http://www.gutlessinseattle.com Coach Walter

    Nope. There’s no such thing as authentic homeopathic HCG, Terese. You should stop taking the hhcg immediately because you’re damaging your body.

    Your body is fighting you starving it to death and that’s probably why you’re gaining.
