    Lets calm down, not everyone knows that HCG is dangerous or a faux pas on MFP. It is advertised everywhere.
    Us in here everyday seem to forget there are people that do not live on MFP. Lets all get off our high horses.

    I have a mini horse myself.

    Sorry to hear that. Its a lie, size does matter.

    Touche'

    Good luck with your weight loss, but the HCG diet has been studied by many scientific organizations, and they all concluded that HCG, even the "real" injectable version, is no more effective than a placebo, and eating only 500 calories a day for weeks, as recommended by that plan, can cause more health problems than it solves.

    The only reason people lose weight on that plan is you are only allowed to eat 500 calories a day. HCG has been scientifically proven to do NOTHING to help with weight loss or to make it safe to eat only 500 calories a day. It will not protect muscle, reset your metabolism or do anything else the snake oil salesmen that sell it claim. Dr. Simeons was a quack doctor. His "HCG protocol" has absolutely NO scientific backing and is not worth risking your health on.

    The MFP moderators have been cautioning members against attempting that diet because it is so dangerous.

    Please read the articles on these websites before you try HCG. I know some people that put their faith in the HCG diet, and became very ill from malnutrition as a result. It is NOT safe!

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