Can anyone explain the HCG diet to me?

A brilliant money-making idea designed to extract money from gullible desperate people. Wish I thought of it.

DONT DO IT! Basically, you starve yourself by only consuming 500 calories and the hormone will attack the extra fat. Blind studies have shown that you don't lose much more than if you were to starve yourself without the hormone. Oh and you have to jab yourself with a needle everyday

Thanks. I was just curious because I had gotten an email with an hcg pill and as I read the information it didn't seem very reliable and hasn't had any scientific proof. I didn't know if someone had actually done it and it really did work. Thanks again

I know a couple people who have tried it and their wives tried it with them. The losses weren't nearly enough in both the men and women to make up for some of the side effects.

Don't do it, don't do it, and DON'T DO IT! I tried it before coming to MFP. Trust me it was the biggest mistake ever. Thank God I stopped after only 5 days... ugh!!!! It's not safe, it's not healthy!

Don't do it. Some of the side effects are hair loss......and many other horrible things! Please do ur research before u make ur final decision. Best of Luck!
