HCG Diet Dangers: Is Fast Weight Loss Worth the Risk?

I did the HCG diet almost a year ago. On my final weigh in I lost 20 lbs then for the next 2-3 months, I lost additional 7 lbs, so total of 27. From my experience I have been diligent with following the no sugar and no carb for at least 6 months, then I started introducing a little carb here and there, I noticed that I fluctuate 2-4 lbs weight gain then I manage to lose it. Still a NO Sugar in my drinks, nor cola. I noticed that as long as your portion is in moderation and always eat at least 5 times daily, then it should be okay and you can maintain the weight. Self descipline is the key. With HCG I also learn to eat better quality food. While I was on this diet, my husband also lost about 20 lbs without HCG injection, just eating what I was eating doubling the portion, even our son now rejects high sugar products. We are spending a lot less on food because I am not buying pre-packaged or other junk. The only side effect i had was hair thinning which is coming back with additional vitamin (It is also genetic, so I cannot entirely blame on HCG )

I heard about HCG and I was afraid to use it. However, I decided to use green coffee bean extract and it is helping with this horrible over weight problem. Dr. Oz recommended green coffe bean as a powerful weight loss pill! He was absolutely RIGHT! I'm glad I started using it because I've dropped 8 pounds already and counting!!! I'm almost ready for summer. My sister just started using it too. She is very satisfied with the results too!!!I got mine from Amazon.com In case any one out there wants to look at it. It is called: Meran nutrition green coffee bean extract with Svetol. Take my advice and you won't regret it!

I lost 58 pounds almost 4 years ago using hcg homeopathic drops. All My life i have been overweight and diabetic.. I had a 1000 calorie diet by my own design and I even cheated on that consistently (by eating more or an extra fruit or two in between). I will say that it DID NOT Curve My appetite in any kind of way..I was hungry so i did cheat often. My main point is that Its going on four years and ive only gained four pounds back. I'm grateful it worked for me because nothing else did. Its hard for diabetics to loose major weight like that. It Also helped me learn how to eat healthier.

It's funny how people can come up with reason to not take hcg,how it doesn't contribute to weight loss,I am a young mother of five who has been fighting obesity for 19 years. I'm 37 5"9 258 pounds and im miserable.I took hcg for 2 rounds I lossed 68 pounds and you say hcg is effective,I've starved myself even tried throwing up it was horrible,hcg was the first experiment I tried with true results and I wasn't starving,I was able to sleep with out the fear of dying from a heart attack in my sleep,not only did hcg build my confidence it also gave me hope that I can when this battle..it's amazing how cures are found to kill cancer,cure diabetes,redirect heart issues,but nothing is out there to help with obesity,its easy to say just eat rite and exersice,yeah it's easier said than done.hcg isn't a quick fix its hard work it takes dedication,a strict,and discipline to succeed in it.obesity patients been over eating for years it's not gonna hurt a month out of our life periodically to step away!!!!!!I need some facts of hcg diet harming people to make me stop,I see what obesity is doing and I just don't wanna be apart of it any more.....sincerely in survival mode
