in Health and Weight Loss
Someone showed me a product called HCG Ultra and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I don't know a whole lot about it other than it's kind of expensive. Has anyone here tried it? If so, what were your results?...were you able to keep the weight off??

    Personally, I think not only is it UNSAFE, it is short term. 2 of my cousins did the HCG diet and they are now both bigger than they started out. Sure they lost some weight initially. Who wouldn't eating 500 calories a day? But then their bodies freaked out and packed on even more.

    It is unsafe and short term only. Whatever you lose, you will most likely gain back because you will have not changed your lifestyle. Save your money and skip that junk.

    Ok, thanks. I don't know much about the product and didn't realize you could only consume 500 calories per day...that definitely wouldn't work for me.

    Thanks for your input.

    Yup.

    Glad to see you're not using this.

    You've lost 21 lbs already, and that is awesome. Obviously what you're doing is working so keep doing it.

    Please don't do it, it is so unsafe both in the short term and long term. You can lose weight the healthy way and keep it off.

    On the side of the page the ad is for a class action settlement against HCG. You'd think that would be enough. Nope. People still defend it.

    Good on you for checking here first and getting the truth. I love when MFP can keep someone away from a dangerous fad diet. Warms my cold, dead heart.

    Looks to me that you are well on your way to a healthy lifestyle, why sabotage it with fads, pills, drops, or voodoo? They don’t work, it’s all of the stuff that you do with it (diet or exercise) that “works” and most of the time the accompanied “plans” are unhealthy and impossible to maintain over the long term. You keep sticking with your long term plan. I don’t know about yours, but mine is to eat relatively healthy, exercise like a freak, and live for another 100 years because this isn’t just about today, it’s about all the days following it as well.

    Eat well-balanced, nutritious meals and snacks in sensible portions, indulge cravings sensibly, move your body, and drink water.

    Do not consume pregnant lady pee.

    ...unless it's a fetish of yours, in which case just do it for the enjoyment factor and not to lose weight.

    You are 21 lbs down. Keep going, just you =) All of those fad diets work for a little while by putting your body into starvation mode.. as soon as you start eating again, your body stores it double time!

    Is that the same thing as the Cat Pee Diet or the ad with the old 70 year old man with a 20 year olds body?


    Don't fall for these type of products. Just do it yourself. yeah it may take longer but the results are well worth it

    My personal opinion? its cheatig, disgusting and you're better off doing this all the only way that comes with a guarantee.

    Eat healthy.
    Exercise doing workouts that use both type of muscle fibers
    Drink your water
    Get enough sleep

    Health GUARANTEED

    Ah I miss the old days. There would be at least a few dingbats saying "It's great! A doctor in Mexico give me the pills in a brown paper bag. The hair that's falling out of my head is really adding to my weight loss. I'd finish this sentence but I'm literally starv..."
