    My opion, any quick will not last. Also, my experience. Slow and steady, it's a healthy alternative. :)

    I have a good friend who tried it. She exercises daily and watches her diet closely. She just has a bigger frame and struggles to get down to a size that is comfortable for her. With HCG, she was able to get down to that size. HOWEVER, once she stopped the drops, and started eating healthfully again, she gained the weight back. I cautioned her against starting it in the first place, but we all know what it feels like to want to lose weight, so...
    You have to decide what is right for you, but my personal opinion is, it's not worth the money and the possibly adverse health effects.

    I find it quite difficult to eat more than 800 calories a day. I simply feel too full to eat more when I eat the right kind of foods and combinations. How can 800 calories be bad if they fill me up completely?

    Feeling full has nothing to do with giving your body the nutrients it needs. Eat more calorie dense foods if you have that hard of a time getting more than 800 in.

    Yay? Nay?

    My inlaws did it and lost a good bit, but have gained some back. I'm skeptical.

    Why are the pro-HCG-ers one post wonders? This may just be coincidence of course.

    Probably because we get jumped on. Exactly why I'm a "one-post wonder". :smile:

    Hello, I tried HCG and was pleased with it. My calorie intake was not monitored at all. I just banned myself from fried food and starches. In 3 wks, I lost a total of 20lbs. Losing like 4-6lbs a week. The only thing is once I stopped, I began putting this weight back on. HCG is only worth it if you only plan to keep the weight off for a certain event.
    In other words, it's a really bad idea.
    Awesome. I love gaining weight back that I've lost. That's a lot of fun.

    I do it mainly for fiber.

    Biggest scam ever. The only thing that it will effectively help you lose is money.

    Cotton is a vegetable, isn't it?

    Do your homework...

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/390151-should-i-do-the-hcg-diet

    1) HCG has been proven to have no effect on weight loss.

    2) Very Low Calorie diets are only recommended for morbidly obese folks, under doctor supervision. Otherwise, they are dangerous and unhealthy.

    Anyone claiming anything else will not have any reputable data to back up their claim. You're welcome to try it though. :flowerforyou:
    Excellent post. Although I wonder about it's veracity because you have no profile pic.....

    Haven't we all learned not to trust those without profile pics? I think there are several threads about it!
