Hello! i am starting the HCG diet. I am on my 2nd fat gorge day. I guess when i was doing all of my research on this diet it never really occured to me that my job might get in the way. as a massage therapist and esthetician there is absolutely NO WAY i can avoid contact with products containing oil. anyone have any tips or continued to use products and still saw results. I'm now starting to wonder weather or not this diet is going to work for me. and No i can't use gloves. please please help!
There was another posting not too long ago and someone's sister/friend was a massage therapist and did the diet and lost without a problem. For the other person posting, I just made the suggestion to try and wash the hands as frequently as possible to get the oils from saturating too much.
Honestly wouldnt worry about it. I never avoided any of those things. I lotioned down my body every day and still lost. If you are really worried about it wash as often as you can. You can probably use jojoba oil though or maybe even coconut oil which doesnt have a scent in my opinion
Thanks so much. I was really getting worried. I don't want this to be another thing I try and fail at. I know someone who lost 45 lbs doing 2 rounds of the hcg subligual and she has struggled with her weight just as much ad I have. I am really motivated by her success and I am excited to do this. The last thing I would want is for something I have no real control over... Like my job... To get in the way. Thanks everyonefor the prompt responses!
Keep me posted Ibrace on your losses cause my sister in law is a massage therapist and we were concerned about the same thing. She has to use the oils that the salon has. She was gonna start and she found out she was pregnant. So she has to wait.
You will just lose slower than average. I kept taking my hormones even though they were in creams because I didn't want to go back to daily migraines. I still lost an average of 20 pounds in a 40 day round.
So far so good! I had a really busy weekend at work jam packed with appointments so I did about 5 treatments a day which means I was in oil for 6 hours a day from fingertips to elbow. But I've still lost! I have to use the oil the spa I work at provides so I can't use mineral oil (and also being an esthetician I would never put mineral oil on someone.. It's like suffocating the skin) Day 1 (loading day) 160.5 Day 2 (loading day) 162.5 (I really ate ALL of my favorite fatty foods) Day 3 159.5
Day 4 157.5!
I'm seriously shocked already! It's really a great motivator to see the scale drop daily... Yeah I was hungry last night... Yeah I could have cheated but seeing albs drop a day is SOO motivating, I'm just ready to be 130 again!
