Diets like this might work, but nothing beats making legitimate and permanent real life changes to your-- daily eating habits, stress management skills, activity level, sleep hygiene, emotional health (including food addiction)... and getting other conditions treated that the doctor might oversee or miss. All the obese people I know (which is quite a lot) have some major bad habits that I (or any health-minded person) could see which is why they're fat. THERE'S NO MAGIC BULLET FOR WEIGHT LOSS!!!
“Numerous clinical trials have shown HCG to be ineffectual in producing weight loss… The diet used in the Simeons method provides a lower protein intake than is advisable in view of current knowledge and practice. There are few medical literature reports favorable to the Simeons method; the overwhelming majority of medical reports are critical of it..."
@Slipperyrod1984 Yeah it is a total scam I have only lost 60lbs and kept it off for 8 months. This diet sucks don't do it. You will only lose fat and not muscle so this diet really sucks, and I was never hungry on the diet, it really sucks....no wait HCG is AWESOME, and this is coming from someone who has used it not an alleged clinical study...
@kingseller1 ........ nothing more than anecdotal evidence. If there are any peer reviewed scientific papers out there on it that show its is more effective than simply starving yourself that would be very helpful to me. Could you link me to anything?
@Slipperyrod1984 Funny, I went and looked at the first clinical trial referenced in the above report and the summary of the clinical trial states, "The HCG group lost significantly more mean weight, had a significantly greater mean weight loss per injection, and lost a significantly greater mean percentage of their
Human chorionic gonadotrophin and weight loss. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
...Subjects receiving HCG injections showed no advantages over those on placebo in respect of any of the variables recorded. Furthermore, weight loss on our diet was similar to that on severely restricted intake. We conclude that there is no rationale for the use of HCG injections in the treatment of obesity.
@Slipperyrod1984 Well, at the age of 54, with the help of Hcg, I have "ineffectually" lost 64 pounds of ugly, life threatening FAT and kept it off over one year. (I never felt hungry, sick, or faint).......for the very FIRST time in my life. The fat just has not returned. NO other diet I have ever done has reset my metabolism like the hcg. I couldn't care less what "Medical Literature" has to say.
This is a good diet for diabetics I think you should add walking to turn on the krebs cycle and do a GI track test eat corn you should see it again in less then 32 hrs
great job, *&^% all you haters, HCG does change your life for the good. It works for everyone, if you follow the plan.

Most fruit is full of fructose so I don't know how one is allowed fruit on this "program" if one is supposed to avoid sugar for three weeks.

sounds like a good diet for diabetics I think a good walk 4 times a week would help to get the Krebs cyclre up and running
I did'nt know you could burn 3000 cals/day just sitting on the couch
I am not sure my exercise physiology would agree with you on that one
I also would say do a gi track test eat corn you should see the corn again in less then 32 hrs

and walk 4 times a week to turn on the krebs cycle sitting on a couch all day will not burn 3,000 cals/day
This diet is not for everyone but if your diabetic it is one good answer
