HHCG and keeping weight off afterwards

carinla

Hello! I am wondering if anyone here or if you would know of anyone who has used HHCG to lose weight and had kept it off for several years? My sister in law has lost weight that way and looks awesome! I think its a year later for her and she still looks great. A friend has also lost weight about 5 years ago using HHCG and kept it off. However it also seems as if so many people gain it all back afterwards. I would like to hear of some success stories, and what they have done to insure the weight does not come back on.

Most people regain after starving themselves. Most people regain even after losing weight at a healthy rate. Injections are placebo.

Weight loss on an “HCG diet” occurs due to the low calorie intake. The HCG itself has no effect.

So the long-term results are going to be the same as any very low calorie diet—I.e. a 90%-95% failure rate.

Why not just eat less calories than you burn instead?

Much more likely to succeed long term

The "after" of any diet is figuring out how many calories you need to maintain your current weight and not exceeding that intake.

I know of a girl who was on hcg and lost a lot of weight. Five or so years later, it's looks as though she had gained it all back.

Dear Posters,

This thread has been closed because under guideline 3 MFP does not allow the discussion of unsafe weight loss techniques. Since the HCG diet is a vlcd it is considered unsafe by MFP.
