This is known for a long time in Europe,in fact a French doctor found it and now it is here in US.They say it makes a part of your brain functions diferent and starts to making you thinner. I don't know too much about it,but I would like to see if anyone had try it. The vitamins are very expensive,about $300,00 .

oh, yes. i saw this. they tested it on rats. i remember seeing it on discovery channel. the rats were given the same diet and not allowed to exercise. but the rats who were given this hormone did not gain weight, while the others became obese.

i think they also tested another hormone that is released in people who are not obese and those who are. i can not remember the name of the specific hormone, but the rats who were given this hormone stayed normal weight, and those who were not became obese.

it was like 3 years ago i saw this. i do not think it is only to do with a pregnancy hormone. but i know that some people produce a higher amount of this than others. i will try to find references and then i will get back to you guys.

Aquadecoco,I do want to loose weight. I'm 145 now and my normal weight (the one that I want )is 138 to 135. I gain practically 10 pounds eating a huge amount of fruit trying to following the 8/10/10 diet,but I think that I did too much.I was on vacation and did NOT exercise (huge mistake).Now I'm trying to get in shape again.
My husband heard about this hormone and told me.I am a little curious about it .
Looks like it changes a part of your brain that deals with gaining/loosing weight.

Pihourova,thanks a lot.If you could find more information I would appreciate.

i will definitely try to find some info for you tomorrow, but of course, you probably know that you do not need any supplements or external hormone injections to lose weight. just exercise, raw vegan living, rest, water, and of course time and patience and endurance and motivation, anywhere you can find it!

personally, i wouldn`t mess with hormones. my sister is fighting ovarian cancer and i wonder sometimes if it could`ve been triggered by the depro provera shots she did for many years. i`m voting a solid no on any hrt or anything that screws with our natural makeup. raw foods and exercise will cause you to shed a natural amount of weight smiling smiley just my 2 cents

Thanks Pihourova and Dewey. Yes,I'll have patience,and rest. Maybe what I need is rest,a little emotional rest. I'm too stressed out. I went on a wrong path when I did try to do the 811 diet that is practically fruits. Didn't work for me at all. I was so good on my raw vegetables,some nuts and some dehydrated foods,shakes and smoothies.Well,live and learn. Too much fruit for me made me streesed out and gain 10 pounds in just a month,do you believe that? Like you said Pihourova,I need some exercise,rest and patience.I did come back to my raw food way of living,and I'm walking 1 hour a day.

But,for curiosity,if you could find something about the hCG hormone,that will be good.You are completly wright Dewey,we shouldn't mess with anything outside our bodies.

Sorry, i dont know how to find the documentary i watched on discovery channel. but these websites looked interesting. not sure how accurate any of it is though. hope this helps you make a more informed decision. the last link looked like it had the most info about hormones and weight in general.

good luck!

Cy parsley is supposed to be extra helpful for women - I've been using a lot in smoothies and feel better.

Can't remember what it helps, but several things - probably weight cuz it helps balance hormones with its minerals or something.

Yeah I can't do fruit at all yet - and I'm stressed too - that really messes up body functions, doesn't it!

So does Aquadecoco,I can have 3 fruit day maximum.if I eat more I get so hiper,stressed out,just weird. If I eat veggies I'm ok,calm,concentrated,completly on focus with evrything. My body can not deal with too much fruit.
Thanks for the advise,I'll eat much more parsley now.

And thanks for the sites Pihourova.

exactly that smiling smiley no mistake, just a learning process smiling smiley i`ve dropped inches just by not eating processed stuff and trying to be as raw as i can. for once i haven`t been a fanatic about having to lose pounds and pushing and starving and weighing and over doing exercise and all that other stuff we do just to get the number we want to see. i went mostly raw and ate whatever i felt like eating and i walked on my treadmill at a good pace for 30 minutes and different incline percentages and it`s coming off and i`m not killing myself. it`s easy to maintain and i feel great! keep on keepin on and if you didn`t try different things you wouldn`t know what works for you smiling smiley

very well said patty. i completely agree. i went through the same thing. that is what i love about raw, after the transition phase, after detox, you just dont even think about it. which to me, proves that this is the way we were meant to eat. winking smiley

I believe that "later" is better because now we are doing things with a purpose.
I would love that my mother had told me about raw and had thought me a raw way of life,but she didn't know it and I had to learn and do it.
You are completly right Patty,I'll keep on a raw life and I'll forget any kind of number on my scale. That number thinking is a hell on earth way of living.
I want the natural,heaven like raw way.
