i just visited some facebook pages about hcg diet and people there are crazy about it.
i feel so sad for them.
i wish there are more ways to guide people about these diets. :(
and surprized that even doctors are selling it to their patients.

    I don't know much about this diet but I went to a chiropractor and was telling me about it, apparently you take the hormones and eat like 500 calories a day and lose weight. Well duh, anyone eating 500 calories a day is going to lose weight, and I don't need to be screwing up the hormones in my body. Needless to say I left thinking that guy was a quack!

    It's not a new diet, so I'm surprised there haven't been more deaths - it's basically starvation, how can any medical practitioner with half a brain recommend it?
