Help!! please

HCG diet is not a healthy way to loss weight. Just another gimmick for a quick few pound loss. You need to eat more then HCG suggests and exercise to lose weight. I went off birth control pills in April at age 47 and gained 25 pds, even though I exercised 30 mins a day. I finally started losing 1/2 pd a week since mid February. I just started my fitness pal 2 weeks ago and lost another 3 pds. My Doctor who I saw today is recommending it to her patients.Good luck!

Dear Posters,

MyFitnessPal strongly recommends that our users follow the calorie guidelines automatically assigned by our site, unless they are under the direct supervision of a doctor. We are currently reviewing the medical literature on the HCG/500 calorie diet and reserve the right to moderate against discussions of this diet at any time in the future.

For the time being, HCG discussions remain an option for members in private Groups. Please remember that even in Groups, all site wide rules must be correctly moderated, or the Group runs the risk of deletion. Specifically, endorsement of purchasing prescription supplements or medications without a prescription is in violation of the MyFitnessPal posting guidelines, which can be reviewed here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines

Thank you all for your concern. We're definitely looking closely at this issue.
