The "HCG Diet" is NOT some miracle weight loss potion from some master magician! I get so frustrated hearing all these people I know, old friends, new clients, etc. tell me they tried the “HCG Diet.” My heart sinks, and I almost feel helpless, working against the money grubbing, corrupt people and corporations out there who feed off of the average health curious person.
It absolutely enrages me, how shallow and dishonest most of capitalist America can be just to make a buck! At any cost they will, in this case the cost is the health and even lives of their consumers. I know I must continue the fight against this evil, one person, one mind at a time. Helping people to realize there is no “quick fix,” no miracle diet, no short cuts, and that reaching their health or fitness goals is about lifestyle change is what I will continue. I vow I will never lose sight of this powerful message. I will never sell-out to make a buck. Never say never? I’m saying never.
HCG stands for Human Choriogonadotropin, a hormone that is produced by women in the first stages of pregnancy. With the HCG diet you either inject this hormone or use oral drops. In pregnant women, this hormone stimulates the hypothalamus, which in turn moves essential fats and nutrients into the placenta, thus the interest in weight loss, fat loss doctors and desperate overweight people. Sounds good in theory, right?
Ever heard of the expression, “too good to be true”? Insert it here! THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THE HCG DIET AS AN EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS DIET. In fact, the HCG diet is very dangerous and should be hyh! Plus, what male in their right mind would want to inject a pregnancy hormone???
Along with the injections or oral application, you are regimented to a 500cal per day diet. Common sense, which obviously escapes many people out there, says that 500cal per day is extremely dangerous and should never be tried, right? Yes! Amazingly though, desperate people are throwing away common sense and logic, and jumping on-board the HCG Diet hype in hopes of solving their weight issues and problems.
They give in and look for the easy way out. Let me tell you, in case you hadn’t figured it out, eating 500cal a day will support rapid weight loss, not the HCG! 500cal per day your body is starving, barely able to survive and function, feeding off of your vital nutrient stores! Of course you will lose weight fast! At the cost of your health!
Not only that, people coming off of the HCG diet gain their weight back, and even worse, mess up their natural hormone levels. Severe side effects from this ludicrous diet include depression,
headaches, and blood clots to name a few. I have personally, as I said, encountered numerous people messed up from trying this diet. It breaks my heart every time. I am honest and genuine with my clients and members, helping to change their lives permanently for the better and I hear and see so many giving in, going to this dark side. It’s sad. Even more sad is that doctor’s are prescribing this, and of course everybody listens to their doctor.
My advice, charge yourself with some self-awareness, do some research and think for yourself. Take responsibility and make decisions and change for yourself, don’t rely on someone else. I know it is hard to sift through what’s real and what’s not, but trust me, you will be doing the battle the rest of your life until you do learn to find what’s real.

The HCG diet is not good for you at all. You have to avoid it so much. There has been not a lot of research done on it. This is what scare me so much.
