Modified HCG

My lunch today is about 725 calories. Good luck with that.

Still sounds like a VLCD which is against the rules to promote/talk about here.

You don’t mention dietary fat, but keep in mind some minerals/vitamins cannot be absorbed by the body without it.

From FDA website: Currently, there are no FDA-approved HCG drug products for weight loss. HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that HCG increases weight loss.

Additionally, the labeling for the “homeopathic” HCG products states that each product should be taken in conjunction with a very low calorie diet (VLCD). Consumers on a VLCD are at increased risk for side effects including gallstone formation, electrolyte imbalance, and heart arrhythmias. A VLCD should only be used under proper medical supervision.
