No one likes to talk about it ive never personaly tried it. But if you have a FB BioScience has a whole page with REAL people and REAL expieriences and if you ask them a question they will post back to you! good luck I have actually seen alot of success stories with people using it ..

I don't think she was being rude. MFP locks every thread on HCG with the same explanation, that they don't promote It.

HCG is a hormone found in pregnant women's urine. It is prescribed by doctors to aid in fertility. It has an off label use as a weight loss drug although it is unproven in effectiveness and not allowed to be marketed as such. A doctor can prescribe it for off label use though.
It is not legal to buy without a doctors prescription. The ones sold over the counter are synthetic or intentionally labelled to mislead.

On yeah, the idea is you take the hormone (or in many cases and even more unproven placebo) and eat only 500 calories.

& they sell some at GNC. with GNC you can try it and if it doesnt work you can return it and get your money back before 30 days .. like i said good luck lady

Not being rude. Just truthful. Certain topics are not allowed on MFP, as outlined above. If you want to eat 500 calories a day and ingest pregnancy hormones to lose weight, this is not the place for you.
