    Awesome..thanks for much!!!!!

    I began in April. I lost 52. I'm now back to eating 1400 to 1500 cals per day and working out with a personal trainer. I've never felt better. Doctor even took me off my blood pressure meds after 11 yrs!

    I would really urge anybody even considering this diet to be very cautious! Had a friend who became a distributor and started posting before and after photos of people who were doing the diet, I figured I'd try it Really, I've done diets before and lost weight, couldn't hurt right?

    Boy was I wrong.

    This diet affected my heart. I've had to wear a heart monitor and have had to have a number of medical appointments now. Contrary to what you are told, hCG does NOT target only fat. I have now talked to people who developed problems with their gallbladder, kidneys and hearts. This is serious! Is it the hCG doing the damage? No way to know. There are studies that showing 500 calorie diets are harmful and should only be used when you are being closely monitored by a physician. Generally they are for people who are seriously obese and the doctor can judge when to stop the diet.

    I've no doubt now that I fell for a huge scam. Only one week after losing on this diet and they were pushing me to be a distributor. Come to find out, very few can last on this diet so they need fresh faces selling to make their profits. The ones who do stay on the diet for any longer length of time look positively ill.

    Please, find another way to lose weight. I can say this diet was one of the worst mistakes I've ever made!

    Morrow Thanks for the advice, but quick question...What if you are using it to change the way you eat? I can understand when ppl use it and then go back to eating the way they were.....Jorra I am going to check out your link. Thanks for sharing it

    You can change the way you eat without paying for this stuff... :smile:
    You don't need those darn drops either to eat and lose weight on 500 calories. I certainly do NOT recommend only eating 500 calories either..

    I just tried this diet for not even half a day and felt so deprived that I realized it's not right for me. I don't think you should feel deprived when trying to lose weight. I'd rather it take 6 months to lose the weight I have to lose than starve myself and feel miserable. I bet once you lose the weight it wll creep back up anyway......

    Instead of eating only 500 calories per day, eat 500 calories less per day than what you do now ;)
    I could not deal with only 500 calories a day.
    I have fasted from meals, and even took a complete day once - this helps me with my mindset and also measuring helps me recognize TRUE portion control..
