Think of trying the HCG Diet?
I would love to know peoples experience with the HCG diet. My mom tried it awhile ago and she had awesome results, i can't remember what the numbers where, but it seemed to work for her anyways. I'm just wondering about side effects, how hard it is to maintain and all that. I've finally reached that completely fed up point about my weight and need to do something about it. I'm not looking for a quick fix, i'm completely ready and willing to dedicate myself to becoming healthier. I would just like to hear some opinions and results people have had! If you have not tried it, please don't bother answering as you will have no idea anyways.
Thanks!

Just in a sample size of 3, I have known 3 different people who have tried this
and in each case, it was a total waste!
Also PLEASE do think about this, anything that is strong enough to be effective
is also strong enough to be dangerous!
Be CAREFUL!
GOOD LUCK

accept as true with Dan. Scientists have actual investigated this “miracle treatment for weight problems.” no longer merely is the load loss software not greater smart than calorie limit on my own, the HCG additionally doesn’t influence starvation or different greater subjective components of weight-reduction plan. Even professionals interior the supplement industry say the products are not legal and don't artwork. Andrew Shao of the Council for in charge nutrients, an industry group, says HCG is "no longer seen a legal nutritional factor and hence can not be offered as a nutritional supplement. i'm no longer attentive to any medical evidence that helps its use whilst taken orally." by using fact HCG is a peptide hormone, it may be broken down via the tummy and rendered ineffective, he says.

Don't waste your money.
There is no scientific evidence supporting HCG as a weight loss strategy. The FDA has required all marketing and advertising of HCG to state the following: “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."
Scientists have actually investigated this “miracle cure for obesity.”
Not only is the diet no more effective than calorie restriction alone, the HCG also doesn’t affect hunger or other more subjective factors of dieting.
Even experts in the supplement industry say the products aren't legal and don't work. Andrew Shao of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, an industry group, says HCG is "not considered a legal dietary ingredient and therefore cannot be sold as a dietary supplement. I am not aware of any scientific evidence that supports its use when taken orally."
Because HCG is a peptide hormone, it would be broken down by the stomach and rendered ineffective, he says. He says the products are mostly sold over the Internet, so it's difficult to track sales.
