    It's a hormone injection=EPIC FAIL. Count your calories, work out=SUCCESS.

    Starving yourself and drugging yourself with a steroid is not a healthy way to lose weight. Period.

    yep I tried it....it's actaully not a steroid it's a hormone that is produced by women and it increases when they get pregnant, but the levels are very low so it won't effect you, there are shots or drops..., it hardest 30 days of my life!! it's not really that great for you, and once you are done then you have to have a super strict diet or the weight comes on quickly... after taking it my blood pressure went trough the roof and my thyroid is now all funky, it's taken me 3 months to get 15 lbs off and I work out extensively 6 days a week... so I wish I would've never done it :-(...

    Honestly two of my friends did it. My male friend lost 25 so far and my girlfriend lost 45. To me it sounds so scary to only eat 500 to 600 calories. But they both lost some serious weight. Both have kept it off now that they are off of it - but I can easily see getting back the weight if you don't change your lifestyle. Plus they don't work out at all.
    The only way to really keep it off is to stay on here and do it the right way.

    Was speaking with a professional in this area just the other day and she told me that most of the people on that program end up losing mostly muscle and not fat. So, once they get off of the program they have less muscle than they had before and they end up being even fatter (body fat % wise). She says she would tell everyone to stay away from it!
