So tell me. Too good to be true? My sister took the hCG droplets and followed the dieting guidelines and lost a bunch of weight. However, after hearing what the dieting guidelines were, I was like, duh! of course you lost weight. The way she explained how the droplets "open your fat cells" so you burn fat seems a little too unbelievable.

Within a week last fall I saw 2 young women with deep venous thrombosis who had been injecting themselves with HCG in the legs and abdomen and a man with prior bypass surgery who had clotted off a vein bypass graft about a week after taking HCG drops. No proof there, but I would be careful.
It's on the list of banned substances for the Olympics and Major League Baseball. Pregnancy is known to make the blood more likely to clot, which is fine if you're going to deliver a baby, but not so great for middle-aged people, when the risk for stroke, heart attack, venous thrombosis, etc. is higher.Comment

Eating 500 calories per day (which the hCG prescribes) is nigh unto starvation. Of course you lose weight. My mom did the hCG madness and lost about 18 pounds in 5 weeks. She then gained it all back, plus 10 more. Oh, in about the course of another 5 weeks.Originally posted by SuperGabers View Post"You know, I was looking at your shirt and your scarf and I was thinking that if you had leaned over, I could have seen everything." ~Trial Ad JudgeComment

that's interesting, I have a few friends who have used this with great success. They knew that they would be susceptible to gain the weight back so they made life changes and began to eat healthier and exercise. They didn't suffer any health issues while they were on it and have been very healthy since. I don't think I ever knew that hcg caused clotting.Dio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia

My wife and I have an appointment on Friday and hope to start next week. My neighbor, a former Ute footballer, just lost 70+ lbs on the diet. My wife's a nurse and I'm Type II diabetic and on insulin so we're used to injections. I've heard good things and hope to lose some fair amount. I'll update my progress if it helps anyone else to decide."Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

there is literally zero clinical evidence promoting hcg as a weight loss aid... 500 calories a day is dangerous, but obviously running that kind of deficit will lead to rapid weight loss.Te Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est.Comment

I don't know about the hCG Diet but I had a good colon cleansing this afternoon at work thanks to my Qdoba burrito yesterday. Luckily no one from my office came into the bathroom after I began treatment because it was RANK but I probably lost about 3/4 a pound in ten minutes.

Beta-HCG is a scam. There's no evidence at all to support it's use medically. (an interesting side note: the makers of these scams label this stuff as "homeopathic", which avoids regulation by the FDA. They can call themselves homeopathic based upon the diluted nature of what's actually in the bottle. In essence, there may be very little to none of the substance of what they're purportedly selling.)"Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me.

It also scares me that my wife had two members of her family do it and both ended up having cancer shortly after. Coincidence? Maybe. But injecting anything to get around the only true way of losing weight like Niku mentioned just doesnt work long term.Comment
