Has anyone used HCG injections for weight loss?

Please share your experience. I am very interested since it resets your hypothalamus. My weight is compromised due to hormonal problems. Thanks alot.

Update:

I would be doing this thru a clinic.

    Hi cindy,

    If you are thinking about HCG and your goal is to lose weight - it will actually do more harm than good. The best thing you can do to lose weight is to stay natural. Now, as a caveat to this, you should avoid sugar whenever possible - even in those foods that you think are healthy like orange juice and wheat bread. Keep it natural, limit the sugar, and you WILL lose weight.

    First thing you do is visit with your doctor before trying this very controversial and technically illegal treatment.

    All over the counter HCG products were announced as illegal and fraudulent by the FDA on January 24, 2011

    Testing concluded that all over the counter oral and injection products on the market have little to no real HCG in them but most a similar synthetic hormone.

    Anyone that lost weight especially with the drops did it because they ate fewer calories than they burned. The HCG acted as the placebo to help them lose the weight.

    The only approved use for HCG is to increase fertility in both men and women.

    Next year will mark 60 years since this fraudulent science was started.

    You will put all the weight back on as soon as you stop the calorie deficit. The HCG is irrelevant.

    Check out these clips before going further. Just aired two weeks ago.

    http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/weight-loss-controv...

    I was at the pharmacy yesterday. I looked at the HCG drops and it says right on the box, "Does not contain any hormone but contains an amino acid similar to HCG"

    I can't believe that under current law they can still call it HCG Drops. Amazing!

    Staunch supporters of the diet treat it almost like a religion. "If you will just believe..."

    The mental process occurring here is called "cognitive relativism" where HCG users assert their paradigm beliefs to the point where they deny facts, lack of evidence, legality, and true expert opinion.

    The doctors exploiting this benign hormone can't even agree on how it works. Some say it releases stored fat calories into the system. Others say it acts as an appetite suppressant.

    Neither explanation justifies the weight loss in the individuals taking the oral drops with NO hcg in them that still lost weight.

    Please watch the clips and you decide.
