You’re wasting your time.

The hcg diet is a scam because HCG does nothing for fat loss. It was a scam from the get go and doesn’t work any more than the other junk on the market like acai or green tea. Even if you manage to lose some weight from the diet alone you will only gain rebound fat because you’ve done nothing to change your eating habits. That will lead to yo-yo’ing until you finally learn that diets don’t work and the only way to lose fat and keep it gone is to make a lifetime commitment to proper eating habits. After all, staying slim only gets more difficult with age. So, you may as well make that commitment now and establish proper eating habits instead of trying an easy way that doesn’t work.

Check the following excerpts from the US National Institute of Health…the place where the doctors get their information regarding health research. And, if you can’t bring yourself to believe the science, visit your physician and find out for yourself. You’ll be wise to ignore the random strangers of unknown credibility with no references or citations who are simply credulous believers incapable of recognizing their own placebo effect.

Here’s what the experts have to say.

“In recent publications describing mostly well-documented double-blind studies authors largely reject hCG administration in dieting. Supporters of the hCG diet must prove the efficacy of this method in controlled studies according to the German Drug Law. Until then the opinion of the German steroid toxicology panel is still valid, that hCG is ineffective in dieting and should not be used.”
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3609673

“Treatment of obesity with human chorionic gonadotrophin was shown to be of no better value than saline in a double-blind crossover study of weight reduction in obese subjects. There was also no significant difference in mood, hunger, or missed injections, and no apparent difference in adherence to diet when the two agents were compared. In contrast, a significant difference was found in the ability of subjects to lose weight in the first four weeks of the study in contrast with the second four weeks, no matter which agent was used. Thus, the initiation of a new therapeutic program, even using an inert agent, has a temporary benefit–a manifestation both of placebo effect and the Hawthorne effect.”
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/321723

“We conclude that there is no rationale for the use of HCG injections in the treatment of obesity.”
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2405506

“Supporters of the hCG diet must prove the efficacy of this method in controlled studies according to the German Drug Law. Until then the opinion of the German steroid toxicology panel is still valid, that hCG is ineffective in dieting and should not be used”
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3609673

“The success of the diet was based on motivation and good information, rather than on the hCG administration.”
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12281505

“Subjects receiving HCG injections showed no advantages over those on placebo in respect of any of the variables recorded. Furthermore, weight loss on our diet was similar to that on severely restricted intake. We conclude that there is no rationale for the use of HCG injections in the treatment of obesity.”
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12281505

“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers to steer clear of these “homeopathic” human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) weight-loss products. They are sold in the form of oral drops, pellets and sprays and can be found online and in some retail stores.”
Ref: http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm281333.htm

“You won’t see me promoting quick fixes or fad diets anytime soon. But every once in awhile something comes along that seems so dangerous I have to call it out. That’s why I’m going to help reveal the truth behind the HCG diet.”
Ref: http://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column/07/hcg-diet-look-elsewhere-for-weight-loss/

“Human chorionic gonadotropin is of no value in the management of obesity.”
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1875285/

You can find more information by going to USA.gov and searching for “HCG diet.

Good luck and good health!!

Do NOT go on these starvation diets or “fad” programs or take pills. Most diets and supplements these days will actually cause you to gain MORE weight in the long run.

I suggest you use a natural system to help you lose the weight you want. Check out: www.weightlossmiraclesystem.com

I recommend it because it’s an all-natural and permanent solution and was rated #1.

Question by Hoping he will bless me with #1: Are you or anybody you know trying to lose weight by exercising and eating healthier foods?
If so, what are some of the foods you eat? How often do you exercise? I have asked several questions in the Diet section but I don’t get sensible answers. There are always people trying to sell weight loss products.

Does anyone know of any good online weight loss groups?

Question by mia_meows: Does anyone know of any good online weight loss groups?
I am looking for some online support, or a chat room, for weight loss. Does anyone have any recommendations? It doesn’t matter what type of diet the other people are doing, I am just looking for other people to talk to while trying to lose weight.
Just to clarify, I am not looking for a diet, I am looking for people to talk to. I do Weight Watchers, I exercise and I have a very realistic outlook of how much I want to lose in a given week. The first answer I got from Lexi is really weird, so this is why I am clarifying my question.

How do you know the best form of weight loss for yourself versus others?

Question by darkangel: How do you know the best form of weight loss for yourself versus others?
I am 31 years old. I have two kids and have gained excessive weight after both of them. I had a cessarian with the first and natural with the second. I’m pear shaped so it’s mostly in my hips and buttocks. I have a desk job so I sit a lot and I’m always too tired feeling to work out at night. I’ve been on every diet under the sun to only gain it all back. I’ve tried numerous excersises also. Over the counter weight loss pills or energy pills give me a racing heart. When I do loose weight I get the saggy belly that hangs between the legs when I sit and bend so how would I be able to find out how would be the best way to loose weight effectivly for myself and my body type and keep the sagging away. Please help.

Answer by Pel’s MeL
the best way to lose weight. i think.

Eat less but more often. and you have to do some exercise. so if you burn more calories then you eat you start losing.

Plus this way, you lose slower so it gives your skin does not sag. when you lose weight too quickly you skin will sag.

good luck!

Answer by LadyLynn
I can tell you that the latest findings show that NO DIET PILLS WORK. They may help you lose water weight in the beginning, but then they don’t work, and have a bunch of bad side effects.
Keep doing what you’re doing. Be patient. You WILL lose the weight.
Bless you and Good luck.
