    If you follow the plan and accept the risks and side-effects associated with taking a pregnancy hormone, you will see results.

    But I guess in my opinion it would be more beneficial for you in the long-run to continue with a solid diet and exercise program, because as you lose weight, you'll be teaching yourself healthy portion-control and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

    Everyone I know that's used the HCG diet looks great for the Summer, but gains it back in the Winter, consistently.

    Hello,

    Good luck with your weight loss goals, but the HCG diet is not a safe way to jump start the process.

    The only reason people lose weight on that plan is you are only allowed to eat 500 calories a day. HCG has been scientifically proven to do NOTHING to help with weight loss or to make it safe to eat only 500 calories a day. It will not protect muscle, reset your metabolism or do anything else the snake oil salesmen that sell it claim. Dr. Simeons was a quack doctor. His "HCG protocol" has absolutely NO scientific backing and is not worth risking your health on.

    The HCG diet has been studied by many scientific organizations, and they all concluded that HCG, even the "real" injectable version, is no more effective than a placebo, and eating only 500 calories a day for weeks, as recommended by that plan, can cause more health problems than it solves.

    The MFP moderators have been cautioning members against attempting that diet because it is so dangerous.

    Please read the articles on these websites before you try HCG. I know some people that put their faith in the HCG diet, and became very ill from malnutrition as a result. Then they regained more weight than they lost. Now they wish they never heard of HCG.

    The Government is now in the process of getting all that fraudulent stuff off the market, and it's about time!
