My wife wants to use this for weight loss. Is hCG safe is it for real? There are a ton of studies that have proved this doesn't do anything for weight loss, and the stuff you can find on the market contains little to no hCG in the product. This is one of those scams if you do the research. Like the guy that posted before me, its the 500 cals a day thats the biggest factor in the weight loss. |

If I ate 500 calories a day, I'd shed about a pound a day, without voodoo pregnancy drops. Really, how long do you think 500 calories a day is sustainable? A sensible eating plan, mental reconditioning, and well defined long term goals are all you need. It won't happen overnight, but if you're consistent, it'll eventually happen. There you go. Send me the voodoo pill money instead. I actually gave you something for it.

I know someone who did the diet and lost about 40 lbs. As stated only 500 calories per day, things like cabbage, shrimp, asparagus. That person has since gained it back. Also seems to have had a shift in hormones since doing the diet, not for the better. I'd highly suggest avoiding it. Get a personal trainer. |

I was pretty testy and my mood changed while on it. |

That being said, my wife and stepson are both on it. The boy has been more disciplined and has lost 30 lbs. I think the most beneficial thing about the diet (not the hCG) is that it taught him about nutrition. The 500 calories is very strict concerning what you can and cannot eat. |
