HCG has been around for over 50years and is now available in a very safe homeopathic form.

The problem is the medical field is not familiar with how it works in this form. Would Pharmaceutical companies would loose millions of dollars if the homeopathic form was to continue? Is this the reason why? is the medical field always right, how many people have they killed accidently with the side-effects from new drugs that havent been researched fully.

This is crazy. I've been on the hcg diet and it is the only thing that works for me. This was the best thing that happened. There were no side effects and not harmful at all. Now what am I going to do

@SixtailShadow I never said it was easy to starve your self and acknowledged that it does take a good amount of will and power to eat nothing to loose weight. Look at the poor people in Africa, they do the same thing (starve) and they are skinny. ( Although they don't do this on purpose, they just don't have out overflowing with addictive junk that we have so much of that makes us even fatter.)

@KenHi29 You think the HCG diet is easy? It takes a good amount of will power to only eat only very small range of foods for a month, especially in today's culture which is overflowing with addictive junk.

@latasha4341 You can still get it from GNC.

@KenHi29 LOL. actually I'm a triathlete who bikes 25 miles a day, and I work out 4x/week. I took this just to get rid of some problem fat because of my genetics. So, thanks for assuming, but you're still a dumbass.

[KenHi29]

@ttufan2315 Eat healthy, exercise, then you lose weight. Oh you must be a fatty who took this shit to loose weight because your to lazy to do the proper steps.

[ttufan2315]

@KenHi29 without the HCG you'll only lose muscle mass. Do some research dumbass.

@KenHi29 When you ingest 500 cals per day without HCG, your body goes into starvation mode and you barely lose any weight. During this whole time you are fatigued, sick and STARVING. Worst of all, once you start your normal diet again you very rapidly gain weight because your body is not metabolizing like normal since you have put it into storage mode from not eating. WITH HCG, your body burns fat very quickly, so while only eating 500 cals, you are burning more like 2500 in a day.

i have been overweight my entire life. I have tried EVERY THING under the sun. I found HCG in 2010 and it has been the ONLY weightloss success story for me. Say what you want but I have fasted for 5 days in the past and did not lose 9 lbs in those 5 days like I did with HCG. You can see the toning in your body where it is literally removing the stored fat thats been there FOREVER.... believe what you want thats your choice and right.
