Not Loosing Weight After being on HCG Diet

HCG is soooooo bad for you! If youre only eating 500 calories a day then you are in starvation mode....

I just started round 3 on HCG. I've lost 30 pounds. I just finished three weeks on p3. I can't understand for the life of me why people want to inject their negative thoughts on HCG. As if they are going to change the minds of those who have been on it and had great weight loss with it!! Happy losing ladies!!!

Well tell that to the guys who created MFP because talk of HCG is prohibited on the forums of this website. I'm sure this thread will be closed soon.

I was surprised to find out a friend of mine has tried alot of things to lose weight...and always gives up. She visited her doctor again....and he put her on the HCG shots. She is just starting, so I have no idea how it will go for her. I was just surprised a doctor was all for it....but he is. She is not really that heavy ....maybe about 180-190 and about 5'6"

Some doctors intentionally, knowingly, prescribe a placebo. If your friend thinks it will work... then it might work. The real question is, did this doctor also prescribe the 500 calories a day? If so... then her doctor is probably a believer of the HCG diet and this makes me sad.
