    Good idea! I don't think it has anything to do with the drops. Anybody would lose tons of weight eating only 500 calories a day, which is totally unhealthy.

    Kevin effing Trudeau. That man made millions off of ignorance. Disgusting. I remember seeing him on TV going on and on about how coral calcium is all you need to prevent cancer, but "They" don't want you to know, and so he could be pulled off the air at any minute!! (He wasn't and the fake science he pedals is dangerous)

    I can't stand that guy. He preys on people's fears to get them to fork over their money to him. Thankfully, the FTC put the kibosh on his TV commercials, but they can't really do anything about his books (freedom of the press).

    I can't take it! What I can never understand is that if you can follow the HCG program and eat 5 apples a day, why can't you follow a 1200 - 1500 calorie diet (if you eat exercise calories?). Is speed the issue? I did that once using ephedra before I knew it was ephedra. Let me tell you I lost 2 pounds a week but I also ate NOTHING. 1/4 cup of something here and there. It was an appetite killer. But getting off of it was the real killer. I could not eat enough food or get it in fast enough! Talk about rebound weight gain! YIKES! Also notice that these HCG users don't generally consult their own doctors about this because they only want to hear that it works.

    I've also noticed that the people using HCG are "using it" and losing weight. The proof is in the pudding. Talk to us later when you've kept it off for years. I didn't' notice that anyone had used it and had kept their weight off for years. To the one person who learned to eat healthy while on it, so did I but it took a few years for my brain to catch up to the fact that this was a lifestyle change for me and not a diet. I learned to eat whole grains, lean meats, fruits, veggies, and nuts while incorporating daily exercise and portion control. (Started with Dr. Oz's You: on a Diet book.) There was no such thing as a quick fix for me. Just time and effort. There is no point in losing weight if you can't keep it off and learn what you need to about healthy living while eating 5 apples a day.

    HCG does work very well. Yes the calorie restriction is causing the weight loss, but the hcg drops help with hunger control.
    But not in pregnant women who have it "natually" in their systems. Go figure.

    most people want a quick fix. And DON"T want to do any work to get results. It's called lazy! Losing weight that fast is not healthy.....and your not just losing fat.....your losing lean body mass. SO VERY BAD!

    HCG has nothing to do with getting healthy!

    I've looked at past journals that have done studies on this....and the conclusion from all is that: It is not the drops/shots that make you lose weight....but the 500 calorie diet.

    isnt a poster openly selling this dangerous stuff a violation?

    Yup. I reported them. The two people advertising the diet on this post both had new profiles with nothing filled out and have only commented on this post.

    Wow...that was awhile ago, and this thread is still open! Why aren't they shutting this promotion of healthy ideas down! And especially when there are people trying to sell this crap!

    Yeah, I reported it hours ago. Meanwhile, folks making mild innuendo jokes are getting warnings. :noway:

    Does it really take a genius to figure this out? No kidding your gonna lose weight eating only 500 calories a day. What are you gonna do when you start eating Normal again? Cuz if you don't change your lifestyle.....it's all coming back!

    It depends on where you get the drops! However, my mom went on this with two of her friends and all 3 were very strict with the diet; being very careful of what they were eating, etc. During the second week, her friend passed out from doing some farm work! My mom did lose 25 pounds, gained it all back too. It's not sustainable and it is very dangerous. What kind of diet prohibits you from exercising???
