My Colonics Experience

I had my first Colonics on Jan 6^th, this year and another one 10 days after that. The experience overall was not bad, painless for sure and the feelings after the procedure were normal, I can't tell if I really felt cleaned inside or not; I guess I just hope my colon thanked for that anyway.

As personal experience I have to say that the second Colonics made me a bit constipated believe it or not; during the first one I was at the end of my Water Fast – so I didn't have much to release during the procedure. One thing I learned though is the importance of taking daily probiotics. When you do a colonic or even an enema, you remove a lot of bacteria good and bad, so you need to replenish your gut with the good ones, so taking probiotics is essential in this case.

The procedure is very easy, I was lying on a bed and they put inside me like a 2 way tube, one for the water to go in and the other one the release it, with all the stuff stuck in the colon. Some people actually see the worms coming out! You can see it because the tube is transparent so it's easy to monitor what's going on with the irrigation of your gut and what's coming out.

Apparently the ideal is doing a series of Colonics one after the other one so you can remove all built up from your colon and start from fresh with a clean environment. Unfortunately I had to cancel last minute my third appointment – due to some work related issues – but I still have another 2 sessions from my groupon that I can use, and I'm already thinking to make an appointment in the next few days if I find a free spot that fits my schedule.

Overall I personally think that if you have constipation issues and digestive problems, doing 2/3 Colonics in a row can definitely benefit your colon; keep in mind though that any type of procedure you do to your body has always a risk factor, especially if you have serious health issues; so always do your homework, ask for a consultation with your GP is you're not sure.

The HCG Diet discussions

In this post I would like to talk about the HCG Diet in general and about all the discussions I've seen around on the web and on TV. First of all, I'm a doctor or anything related to expert of nutrition and similar, I speak or I'd say write based on my personal experience.

Lots of website and videos on YouTube are totally against about this Diet, and I could understand why, first time I read: 500 Calories I thought it was insane. Whoever is against claims the fast weight loss on the restrictive daily amount of food, which is logically true; we don't need to be genius here to understand that with only 500 Calories a day I may lose weight. Often I see the results of a research conducted to a group of people who were given HCG and to some of them only a placebo, both groups lost weight without feeling hungry apparently. It might be that human brain is strong enough to elude your hunger feeling; I think it could be possible. What was not mentioned though for this research is what type of physical results they got from the Diet? Did they lose fat or muscle? Did they feel weak and tired or always energetic? Were both groups in starvation mode? How was their Ketosis?

What I want to say here is that I personally went to a very strict Diet, with nothing, just Vitamins, sure I lost weight and quickly but I was always starving, always weak, always dizzy, I couldn't think about anything else but food, that was my Dr. Bernstein Diet: a medically supervised scam!

When I started my HCG Diet, of course I had my doubts, I already lost lots of money and my health with the previous one, I am not stupid to go back and do it again. I promised myself that if I ever felt as before I'd stop immediately. Having an Eating Disorder due to a Diet is nothing I wish to anyone.

But in my experience, after a first rough VLCD day on HCG I felt amazing, absolutely amazing, full of energy and free from my food addiction. Still today, after 14 days using it I'm amazed on how I don't feel almost ever hungry, how I can still walk and do my things with no issues, my body feels amazing! I am burning fat daily with high traces of Ketosis, I'm happy for no reason; sometimes I ask myself how come you're happy?! I know it's silly but I'm studying my own body's reaction to this Diet, I'm evaluating every single day. I don't want to risk my health again, and I don't want to fail again.

 So in conclusion, you can blame HCG to be a scam but I've the proof that this Diet works, not much for the weight loss, but for all the rest: I'm really feeling changes in my body and my hormones, all I can thank is HCG.
