I would never choose a diet based on recommendations from the FDA. They are in the back pocket of major drug companies and food companies that are filling us full of crap we shouldn't be consuming. They are so crooked it wouldn't surprise me if someone was paying them off to say bad things about HCG just so Americans won't get healthy and stop needing their drugs. Listen people, stop eating fast food, stop eating processed food, and get your lives back. HCG helped me lose weight, eat healthier and feel better. I totally recommend it. And I am not a lazy couch potato who should have lost weight by exercising and eating right. I did those things and did NOT lose. What is better, being obese or trying a harmless hormone your body produces naturally, that can make you into a new person? Not hard to figure that one out. The FDA is fine with us consuming artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup and ingredients we can't pronounce. Yeah, we can trust them to make sure we are all healthy. To all you naysayers, I say this...read the protocol before you jump to conclusions. It's pathetic to listen to you rant and rave about something you know nothing about.

It does work...I can't imagine how I would have ever lost this weight...in 43 days. Now going on 24 lbs lost and only 4 days to go to finish, then start 1000 calorie days, in which I am not sure how I will eat that much, as I have hardly ate 500. Just remember follow to a T, and don't eat out unless organic and cooked to order, cut portions in half. And make sure to change your lotions, soap, makeup, and meds accordingly to instructions. 2 Advil can put 5-7lbs on you overnight...NO JOKE! Simple, and easy, prepare ahead, and don't eat out. You can do it!!!

Lost the weight I haven't been able to lose any other way. The best part is, I've kept it off! I was never hungry, weak or sick in any way. Always full of energy and rid myself of some carb addictions and bad habbits. Maybe it's not for everyone but I'd recommend it to anybody.

It works. Of course just about any diet works if you work it. But I think the media likes to bad mouth this diet because it's inexpensive compared to may of diets out there. You can do it at home under your own supervision. You don't have to buy special food and infact while on the protocol your grocery bill is pretty minimal. My entire family has done this diet. We have lost over 300 pounds between the 6 of us (mothers, daughters, aunts, cousins, sisters and brothers). And we have all kept off the weight for over a year. This diet works and I feel GREAT while I'm on it. And as with any diet you have to change your lifestyle to maintain.

I have lost 125 pound on the hcg injections. It does work if you follow the protocol exactly. And, you are not starving yourself. You are getting nourishment from the fat that is being burn. You have to read the book to understand how and why it works. The weight does stay off. It has been a miracle for me. It was this or gastric bypass. This is a much better way to lose weight.

If you constantly eat carbs and you cut them completely out of your diet all at once "—you'll start feeling irritated and tired." That is due to the with drawls not hCG. Ask anyone that has tried the south beach diet. The first couple of weeks suck due to the carb with drawls.
