    If I'm not mistaken it involves hormone injections. Some people swear by it, some people get really sick on it. Personally, I wouldn't try it.

    I think it's crazy and dangerous. But, it's your body. You do what you want.

    Did you talk about this with your doctor first?

    Rather than just toss this question out here, yo should search the forums for hCG - there is a group. And no ya'll, I am not in the group, or considering this option. I merely did some reading. Not for me. The group you find will probably be more beneficial to you.

    A friend of mine did this diet, lost the 15 lbs she was trying to get rid of, and then in 2 months, it was mostly all back. And all she did was go back to a 1150 cals a day diet after the 500/day one they tell you to do.

    I wouldn't waste the cash or mess with the hormones.

    My friend's mother tried and and had success, but i think much of it is from calorie restrictions and eating clean and healthy. if you are looking for sustained weight loss this isn't the way to go.

    taking unnecessary hormones that you don't know what will do to your endocrine systems balance and eating a scary low amount of calories . no i am sure there are no side effects

    The HCG plan drops you down to a 500 calorie a day intake, which isn't healthy in itself, and there's no scientific proof that HCG has any beneficial effects on weight loss. Quite an interesting article on it at http://www.tomvenuto.com/asktom/HCG_diet_is_it_a_scam.shtml

    I sent you a private message. But I refuse to discuss the diet here. Red hot topic....

    I think it's crazy, scientifically unsound, harmful to your body, and stupid.

    Thanks for all of your insight! I have done much research and there is definitely alot of controversy regarding HCG. Well I definitely know the 3day diet works and you can have icecream!!! which I like. Of course during the in between period of two weeks good eating habits still have to occur, you cant just go and eat bad food, but I did the 3day diet twice in one month and lost 10lbs havent gained it back.
