No eyeliner, lotion, or make-up! OH MY!

In the world of HCG diet participants, HCG companies, and even the medical clinics have said that lotions, soaps, creams, deodorants, make-ups, etc. can’t or doesn’t affect the your HCG diet, they can tell you till they're blue in the face but the fact is Dr. Simeons’ manuscript does not lie. There has also been many, many slow-ups, stalls, or gains simply because HCG diet participants were using one or more personal care items that are not allowed on the HCG diet.

In the protocol Dr. Simeons devoted an entire page in his manuscript to this issue. He says, “When no dietary error is elicited we turn to cosmetics". Most women find it hard to believe that fats, oils, creams and ointments applied to the skin are absorbed and interfere with weight reduction just as if they had been eaten. Many women are horrified when told that for the duration of treatment they cannot use face creams or have facial massages. It is an interesting fact to think that we could gain weight by simply touching something that has fats and oils in it and that it can be absorbed into our skin.

Honestly it is my opinion to just let your body be the decider. You either gain weight or stall in your weight loss because you use eyeliner or mascara, lotions, make-ups. If that is the case I suggest don't use it or find alternatives that don’t contain fats and oils. If your weight loss isn’t changed or affected and everything is fine then feel free to use it with the HCG protocol. I know of many who have been able to use make-up and still got amazing results. So go for it! Just make sure to check your results!
