Hcg diet? info needed please?

If you are using the drops you are wasting your time.

A 500 calorie per day diet is considered anorexic. Mix it with a hormone from pregnant women's urine and you get a miracle diet!

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. I was at the pharmacy last week and the product on the shelf there stated right on the box - "does not contain hcg hormone but a similar amino acid".

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.

The doctors exploiting this benign hormone with the ability to prescribe injections 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. I am confident the hcg diet has a 95% failure rate just like every other controversial diet plan out there.

By the way, the expensive "clinical injections" are not covered by insurance since it is not FDA approved. What doctor wouldn't want to get an "all cash" practice going?

I was disappointed that Dr. Oz didn't dismiss it completely but he obviously wants to pursue it further.
