My mom is on the hcg diet she goes in to the dr every week for a shot
Of the hcg stuff, apparently is a shot of hormones that's found in pregnant women... but on top of that she can only have one peice of meat one veggie an one fruit. Her calorie intake is supposed to be 500!!! Am I the only one that this this is fed up? I mean her body is gonna go starvation mode right! When I told her this sje said no. I told her once off the shots she'll gain it back cause her body will retain it she just said that the dr will slowly rise it from 500 to the calorie intake she supposed to be at.... I still think this is unhealthy ... anyone else hear of this?

    There is no such thing as starvation mode first....well there is maybe but it would take a very long time to get into it and usually long as your not 5% body fat i doubt you could get into starvation....and if she has a high body fat % the body can use that to maintain its self so really its not impossible.....do i think its a good way to diet, uh no but it will work if she is fairly overweight
