The “HCG Diet” is so far fetched, I have a hard time even talking about it without sneering.
A fertility hormone, virtually lost within a liquid homeopathic remedy, that helps you lose weight when you place a few drops under your tongue? Believe me… not a chance! The 500 calorie diet that is prescribed to go along with the supplement may help you lose weight, but it’s nothing more than a starvation approach to weightloss and that can be performed without the supplement; although I’m certainly not advising that either.
There’s no “evidence based” information anywhere that states HCG (or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) aids in weightloss… Buyer Beware!
