Can you maintain eating only 500 calories a day for the rest of your life? If not, don't even think about going on this wack diet scam.

HCG actually doesn't do anything, the weight loss occurs from eating at ridiculously low levels

Stein et al Ineffectiv­eness of human chorionic gonadotrop­in in weight reduction: a double-bli­nd study American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol 29, 940-948

"HCG does not appear to enhance the effectiven­ess of a rigidly imposed regimen for weight reduction"

Lijesen et al The effect of human chorionic gonadotrop­in (HCG) in the treatment of obesity by means of the Simeons therapy: a criteria-b­ased meta-analy­sis Br J Clin Pharmacol. 1995 Sep;40(3):­237-43

"there is no scientific evidence that hCG is effective in the treatment of obesity; it does not bring about weight-los­s of fat-redist­ribution, nor does it reduce hunger or induce a feeling of well-being­.""

I suggest doing a search for the HCG thread if you want a lot of positive feed back, or you going to get a lot of this: ":sick: "
I think you'll find far fewer people on here agree with this fad diet than agree with it.

It's just another fad diet that isn't safe. You'll find people on here that support it 100%, but if you talk to an actual medical professional, you'll find that it's a ridiculous diet.

PANTS!

This diet is safe for a short period of time if you are pre-bariatric surgery and under the supervision of your bariatric surgeon... otherwise no

You didn't get overweight in 3 months, you're not going to get to a healthy weight in 3 months and be able to maintain that as a lifestyle, just saying.

Study after study have proven this "diet" is a scam.

It does NOT give you any extra results, it costs HUNDREDS of dollars a cycle, and its a very unhealthy, unsustainable choice.

Literally every reputable medical community have given this scam the thumbs down... why would you even consider it?
