Hcg Diet...another fad?
The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet (VLCD) accompanied by treatments of hCG, rather oral or injected. The average hCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day. In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.
hCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the substance almost completely controls the woman's metabolic functions. Generally, the hCG used in the diet protocols, is synthetic.
Not recommended by FDA.
A girl I know is doing it and lost 7 pounds in 2 days. Something about putting drops in your water and a 500 calorie per day diet?! Doesnt sound safe.

The 500/day intake is bad enough and then to add in the drops.......not healthy at all.
