    Default HCG Diet

    Hadn't heard of this until Dr Oz but it sounds interesting. There's something called HCG drops and you take them with a 500 calorie diet. I'm not doing the 500 calorie diet because that is waaaay too low BUT I may try the drops if they can raise my metabolism. Have you guys heard of it?

    "The H.C.G. offered by the plethora of Internet scammers is actually a homeopathic preparation....Due to H.C.G. being available only by prescription, the homeopathic preparations can contain no detectable amount of the substance whatsoever. "

    "Since l975, the FDA has required labeling and advertising of HCG to state:
    HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets."

    So I suspect it's not too easy to get the prescription hence the need for these "homeopathic" versions?

    You can get it at the many weight loss clinics that have popped up that prescribe hcg, but be prepared to pay for it.

    Whether you can get it or not... seems like they say there's no evidence that actually shows it helps you lose weight... and it's all the "500 calories a day + exercise" that results in weight loss.

    Well I have a friend that did it.She's 6feet was 155 I think when she started it. She was on it quite a while( she payed 500 for 1 month in miami somewere) she went down to 135 and looked phenominal best I've seen her look. It even helped her get hired at a club she worked a night at as was told by the manager he didn't like her look. She came back with me and he didn't even recognize her, thats how good she looked! Well she since stopped it and is back to 155 and fabby. Example she went on a recent trip with me and couldn't get hired on at a decent club. I think the shots work good if you need to tone up and loose a lot of weight for a modeling job or to get hired at a club were they are picky but if you dont mantain it comes back. Almost everyone I know gained it back after4 months or so. So for long term unless you're extremely dedicated, not so good.

    Hmmm, not good. I loved the idea of something to accelerate muscle building which would accelerate my metabolism but this doesn't look good.

    Yeah, did nothing for me but I know people who swear by it. I used Magic Slim to lose the weight I wanted and that worked great.

    Well I think the shots are more effective. I know someone who sells and uses the drops and they worked for him and he offers a money back guarantee. I think its a matter of not pigging out when you get off the diet. Kinda like lippo, Ive seen people get it and gain it all back.

    You get it from eBay, comes from China. The one you want has an orange label with a woman in a white bikini on it. You take it for a month and then cycle off for a month. Kills your appetite almost completely, so be aware of that. The only side-effect I got was dry mouth.
