On my 2nd Round of HCG.... Working for me! 20 down!

smp7882

I'm doing my second round of the HCG diet I lost 20 lbs in 30 days last October 2011 and have kept off easily. So I'm doing another round for January 2012... But I want to maintain my weight once I reach my goal with a healthy life style.... So I'm taking as many preventative measures as i can and to make planning my success easier!

Please read the articles on these websites before you do any more HCG.

Scientific studies have concluded that HCG does not "work" any better than a placebo for weight loss. The ONLY reason you lose weight on that plan is the dangerously low calorie restrictions. MFP recommends you eat at least 1,200 calories a day, and the HCG diet plan only allows you to have 500 calories a day.

I know some people that put their faith in the HCG diet, and became very ill from malnutrition as a result. I hope you can return the HCG stuff and get your money back.

The Government is now in the process of getting all that fraudulent stuff off the market, and it's about time!

Dear Posters,

MyFitnessPal strongly recommends that our users follow the calorie guidelines automatically assigned by our site, unless they are under the direct supervision of a doctor. We are currently reviewing the medical literature on the HCG/500 calorie diet and reserve the right to moderate against discussions of this diet at any time in the future.

For the time being, HCG discussions remain an option for members in the Groups section. Please remember that even in Groups, all site wide rules must be correctly moderated, or the Group runs the risk of deletion. Specifically, endorsement of purchasing prescription supplements or medications without a prescription is in violation of the MyFitnessPal posting guidelines, which can be reviewed here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines

Thank you all for your concern. We're definitely looking closely at this issue.
