I am trying to lose weight. After two kids, women can understand how hard it is to lose the pregnancy weight. But to limit my body to only 500 calories? Nobody can live off of that. If doctors don’t want to give this to patients for weight loss and the FDA disapproves of it, then that should be clear warnings for people who want to lose weight. There are better ways. You can get a colon cleanse and lose 15-20 pounds right off the bat. Congrats to the people who have done this diet, but considering that a woman just DIED from doing this diet, that should be proof enough that it is unsafe.

Unless you use it, you shouldn’t even talk about it. Funny reading these sites on people complaining that HCG is unhealthy or doesn’t work. Try it – you’ll see what we all see. There’s a loading day for a reason, you eat a certain amount of calories for a reason. Lost 40lbs in 35 days. 26 years old. Tell me what’s unhealthy about that? I work out, I’m perfectly fine, I feel better, look better, all is well. I get doctor checkups regularly and they tell me all is fine. If you haven’t done it and just talk crap about it; go bad mouth something else; you’re wrong and no one gives a damn.

I totally understand the desparation. I went on this diet when I was 24 years old. That was back in 1978. At that time there were clinics you could go to that would administer the injection daily. I stuck to my 500 calorie per day diet and I went every morning for the injections. Thirty days later I had lost 25 pounds. Four years later I had gained all my weight back plus more. My metabolism had been severely slowed by the diet, so to lose weight again I had to exercise even harder. I have been struggling with my weight ever since. I know you don’t want to hear this because I also wanted a quick fix. But the bottom line is that changing your eating and exercise habits only works if it is a life change, and no one can live on 500 calories for the rest of their life. Just wait until the next holiday and/or party when you are hungry and you will see.

Well I have done this HCG injections and have lost 53 pounds and kept it off for a year!!! Even though I am 20 pounds heavier than I was in High School, I can still wear the same size I did back then and I look better because all my extra weight I carried in my stomach and thighs are gone. So it is incorrect about losing 3 pounds a day, it’s 1 pound a day. This may vary due to how much weight you have to lose because the heavier you are, the faster you will lose. It is true that this is a restrictive diet but with the HCG releasing 2,000 calories of stored fat a day, you are not caloric deprived (maybe of comfort foods) but it’s not like you think you are going to pass out or anything. So having said that, doesn’t it make sense that the diet/fitness industry don’t want us to know about this weight loss program because people wouldn’t be obese anymore. There is big businnes for gastric bypass surgery, fitness equipment and diet pill. Thin people don’t buy diet pills!! So there goes their billion dollar profits!!!

I wish all you so-called experts can understand the desperation of obese people. Until you have been so overweight that you find yourself absolutely revolting – you have absolutely no idea. When you are that much overweight, you simply don’t For me, the hCG diet was a lifesaver. I lost 60 pounds on this diet over a period of two months, and have kept the weight off for three months now. Sure it wasn’t always easy, and it takes a lot of discipline now, but that comes easy when I look at myself in the mirror. hCG is the answer to weight loss!
