There is no such thing as hCG drops! SCAM.

This stupid diet was being pushed a couple of years back.It was just a gimmick way to sell hcg
I think the drops that you have {your wife has} take it a step further,into the realm of scam.

Also the idea of consuming only 500 calories a day, is just stupid.

If your wife is prepared to drop her calories that low to lose weight, great.She can increase them a further 1000 cal and eat small low or no carb meals every three hours and jump on a piece of cardio equipment half an hour a day and the weight will just fall off.No sugars and very low or no carbs.Protein,salads and oils are best.Run that diet for few weeks......

My wife used a 800 cal version of the hcg diet using real inject HCG. She had tried low cal diets before with little to no success. I expected this not to work at all. It did. She got down to 128lbs. This is the lowest she has been since she was 23. Just FYI.


Also, there are no oral hcg drops. Thats bs.

I wonder by what mechanism HCG could possibly stimulate fat loss.I cant think of one...

 

[MAYO]

The oral HCG being referred to is a homeopathic preparation and only Madam Cleo and the Psychic Friends hotline can tell you what's in it. These supposed HCG drops are big in my area right now. Users that I have spoken to report amphetamine like stimulation and appetite suppression. Shit is unregulated, I wouldn't touch the stuff. Pregnyl or bust.

Jast: HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone produced during pregnancy. One of it's functions is to ensure the growing fetus receives enough nutrients to grow and develop normally. It does this by making the abnormal fat stored in the mother's body available for use. The mother's body is then able to use this fat for nutrients and energy despite her intake. This is why women can throw up for three months straight during "morning sickness" and the baby does not suffer. Pregnancy is the only time HCG is found in the body.

Dr. ATW Simeons discovered in the 1950's that small doses of HCG given to overweight individuals (men and women) decreased their appetite, and made them lose inches specifically around their hips, thighs, buttocks and stomachs. Today millions of people have used Hcg for weight loss. The HCG Diet has also been used for weight loss in obese persons as well as those wanting to shed a few unhealthy or unwanted pounds. Hcg for obesity is as common as hcg for fast weight loss. However it is used The hcg diet weight loss program works. Hcgdiet.com has over 7,000 happy customers. While millions of people have used hcg for weight loss, there are many people are just learning about hcg.

Thanks for that Mayo, good info
I wouldn't think it would be a good idea for guys to use this HCG diet,wouldn't it have a negative effect on you LH production.?

 

[great one]

my cousin did (injectable) it and lost a ton of weight , but he was obese and i think it may have starved off, alot of natro path docs in my area are pushing it (oral drops) and swear by it but not all weight loss is good necessarily!

How much HCG does the average women need to inject? My wife is wanting to try this diet so i just now started looking into it.

Mega, your wife should consult a doctor for the diet IMO. The macro nutrients must be carefully monitored and the risk for vitamin/mineral deficiency is great. This diet is huge in my area and I have been asked to help remedy the bodies of multiple failures from home HCG diets. Hair loss, skin lesions, hormone imbablance, even tooth loss in one case. These are the exceptions, but still a very real possibility.
