The above link is an overview of what a weightloss dr sent a female friend of mine earlier today.

Basically is a super strict diet of 500 calories per day and daily injections of HCG. The program can last from 23-45 days. If she hasn't lost the weight she wants to lose, she can do the program again, but has to wait 6 weeks.

Have any of you known anyone that actually participated in this type of program? The cost is varies greatly with a range of $25-$500 (depending on what program you choose).

It was really popular about 5 years ago with mixed results. It's a starvation diet is all, so yes... it works. Watch for the rebound.

Yeah, I can only imagine the rebound weight gain. I'd hate for her to spend $500 only to gain all if not more back.

The study (science) was limited to a few people and only a few of those people had a positive response. Most likely the results came from the low calories and not from the HCG.....

I have known people that have done that a few years back and by looking at them now, you would think they didn't know what the word diet meant. I honestly think it does more harm than good. I wouldn't touch it.

My wife tried this. We did it on our own and she used HCG I used to get from my TRT doc. She lost weight but eating that little calories who wouldn't? She felt crappy and was weak. She went almost 3 weeks and canned it.

I always figured that this works for people because if they're spending a bunch of money and injecting they are more likely to stick to the extreme low cal diet..

If I were to eat only 500 calories/day I think I’d find meth to work alongside a lot better than HCG.
Sounds like torture.
