Do a search here on CD for "HCG Diet" as there is a thread with lots of pros and cons about the diet. 99% cons, 1% pro.

Its a very dangerous diet because you have to inject yourself with the HCG and ONLY eat 500 calories per day. People have to try to order it online because there are no doctors who are affiliated with hospitals who will prescribe this stuff. I spoke with the doctor who is the Chairperson of USC's medical school/hospital, as he has complete oversight of all of the case studies that go on there. He said that NO ONE should take HCG for weight loss.

Not really true. A lot of people order it online because it is WAY cheaper than going to a clinic. I found 9 of them near where you live alone.

Also, you do not need to inject it. Many people take it sublingualy and get good results.

Here's a thread that someone started on HCG Diet. I did a LOT of research on this and it really is the most dangerous unhealthy diet I have ever come across in more than 20 years of working out, training people and being very involved in healthy living. Doctors, nutritionist, weight loss professionals ALL AGREE that this HCG diet protocol is absolutely useless.

I saw so many fraudulent/scam internet sites on this that its far beyond stupid and ridiculous.

People, if you want to lose weight and you can still get up and move - EXERCISE. If you are unable to move, you should see your own MD and not ask around on the internet for "clinics" that give out this self injection of female hormone and 500 calorie per day dangerous diet.

back to the booze bro, promoting this kind of trash will disenfranchise people into believe there's other ways of losing weight besides hard work and a good diet.

this kind of thing has been going on for many many years...pills, drinks, rubber bands, now HCG...something else to make money on.

Exactly. I reported to the site administrator about people coming here trying to promote/market/sell/refer HCG because they were getting $$$$ from doing it.

They were creating new CD profiles and posting in almost every city things like "Where can I find HCG in (insert city name)?". Then, they would create a new profile where they would reply "Oh, you can find it here (insert website address)". Shady people and a shady diet. Plus, this 500 calorie per day diet you have to be on while injecting yourself with this stupid stuff is enough by itself to make anyone lose weight. Problem is, you are starving yourself and NOT GETTING YOURSELF HEALTHY!!!

HCG DIET IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER HEARD OF.
