Hi freinds I am Sam Fox. I don’t believe in diets. I have been a strong advocate for ‘breaking free’ from diets in the tradition of Geneen Roth and others for a very long time. In addition, I believe that for many of us, our addiction to food is as powerful of a disease as alcohol and other drugs and I believe that recovery requires confronting and dealing with the addiction to food.
I have a personal history of both compulsive overeating and bulimia. My recovery started at age 25 when I swore I would never go on a diet again. At age 30, I started leading groups and supporting people in healing from disordered eating, and I also worked with other therapists and dieticians in learning how to help people free themselves from the cycle of dieting and yo-yo weight gains and losses that dieting creates.
Through 25 years of recovery and diet free living, I learned to love my body, had found exercise that I loved, and I had managed to healthfully lose weight and maintain that loss through moderation and deliberation.
In 2007, I had cancer. I managed to stay healthy and maintain my weight through 3 surgeries, chemotherapy, and recovery. But then came the estrogen inhibitors which lower the risk of getting cancer again, and put me into early menopause. I gained 15 pounds while barely eating anything even though I was maintaining a carbohydrate and sugar free diet. In addition, I have a very active lifestyle which didn’t help.
Most doctors shrugged their shoulders at my upset about my weight gain. At first it was only about 4-5 pounds and I still appeared thin, so they just looked at me like I was crazy because I wanted to stop it before it got out of hand. They suggested that since I am alive and cancer free, the weight gain shouldn’t matter.
Of course, my first thoughts about the hCG Diet were pure skepticism. But I was desperate, and unwilling to accept that I had no options. I really trusted my alternative doctor and I found the HCG youtube community online. It clearly shows real people who have transformed their lives with HCG. And then I found Rayzel Lam. She is an inspiring, generous and knowledgeable HCG guru. Her results, her honesty, and her ability to keep off the weight she personally lost with HCG, supported my decision to try it.
My biggest concern was not if I could lose the weight or not, but rather, would I be able to maintain my weight loss long term and achieve a healthy metabolism? What really does makes HCG a real game changer is that YES, it really does change your metabolism. At least it did for me. And I have heard the same thing from others. It IS called the weight loss cure, and I do believe that for certain people in can be just that.
