    I tried them for about 12 days. I lost 14 pounds, but I was absolutely miserable. I had to quit. I was following the Dr. Simeon's Weight Loss Protocol that was written about in Kevin Trudeau's book, The Natural Weight Loss Cure.

    I gained back about 5 pounds immediately after stopping the injections. A close friend of mine lost 32 pounds in 30 days. She has kept all of the weight off for over a year.

    I would suggest doing major research before starting. It's not for everyone. I still have like 3 months of that crap left!

    I had headaches constantly. I had no energy at all. But everyone's experience is different, I know people that felt amazing and energetic. Also, the protocol is very specific and this makes it difficult to follow perfectly.

    This is a really informative site that includes a link to the original Dr. Simeon's protocol.

    is that the same kind of hcg that your body produces when u are pregnant..and that they use for fertility treatments? The site says you have to follow a 500 calorie a day diet. seems like u would lose weight without shooting needles on that.

    Yes, it is the same hormone that pregnancy produces. You do lose weight from the diet, but the hcg allows you to stay on the diet. Obviously, eating less than 500 calories a day is hard, unhealthy, and most people would never be able to do it for more than a day or two.

    A daily injection of hcg releases around 2,000 calories of nutrition from your abnormal fat reserves (your emergency fat fund that your body clings onto for survival needs). This is why the 500 calorie a day diet is imperative, if you ate anymore than that, you would gain weight. You eat almost nothing, but feel so stuffed while on the injections.

    There is tons of info and documentation on the effectiveness of hcg for weight loss. However, there is no money in the cure. Keeping people fat is big business.

    after reading through the sites and clinics offered, it's kinda scary. Mail order drugs like that? i don't know...

    I think exercise and eating right would work for 95% of the population.

    Yes, keeping people fat by setting dieters up to fail over and over is also big business.
