Here is the Gist of it though:


What are the pros for this diet?

None that I can think of!

How about the cons?

The drops and injections are useless and expensive. And, if you’re using the real hormone injections, they may cause unpleasant side effects like acne, hair growth, or more serious effects.

If you’re only eating 500 calories a day, you’re going to be so hungry and deprived that your efforts will more than likely backfire and lead to binging, and consequently, regaining all the weight you worked so hard to lose. Plus, extreme calorie deprivation and low blood sugar leaves you feeling terrible. You’ll feel weak, exhausted, moody, and foggy-brained. It’s definitely not worth the suffering.

Losing weight at a healthy pace with a sustainable plan—which includes at least 1,000 calories of healthy, real food per day, along with regular exercise—is definitely the way to go if you’re looking for long-term results.
