Pro HCG

I created this board for people who have had success on HCG and who have followed the protocol.
There is a lot of HCG Hate on this site and most of those people have not tried it for themselves or have not followed the protocol correctly (also the right HCG is prescribed, not sold in stores). There are sadly a lot of people who are unsuccessful on this diet but that is due to human errors because it's hard to follow the protocol (almost no makeup, no lotions, only 100g of meat, etc).
I'm not saying HCG diet is right for everyone, but it was the most successful for me. I lost 27lbs in about a month. Yes it sounds unbelievable but i followed the rules and stabilized correctly.
P.S. Anti-HCG please take your hate elsewhere. This is for positive stories and support. Thank You!

Good luck with your weight loss, but the HCG diet has done nothing but HARM to people I know that used it.
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 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.
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. Then they regained more weight than they lost. Now they wish they never heard of HCG.
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 private Groups. 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.
