Pregnant lady pee? This diet is going to appeal to a narrow group of fetishists, most of whom are already thin.

The HCG diet claims to be natural, promises to help you lose a pound or more a day and even discourages exercise.
But critics and medical doctors say it can be also dangerous.
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin and is a hormone that is produced during pregnancy. It's detected in the urine of pregnant women.
HCG retailers say it works because it goes on the same concept that a pregnant woman's body will use stored fats to help send nutrients to the baby, even if she is not eating much.

Just did the 3 day diet....lost 8 lbs. 1000 calories. Lots of volume of food in the diet.Supposedly a chemical breakdown helps ou drop the weight. I’m starting again this week for another loss. felt perfectly fine doing it.
I went on that diet 25 years ago. That’s the diet that you eat beets and ice cream, correct?
Your getting everything that way.
What if I’m not prepared to give birth right now? ;’)
Please keep us updated.
Treat meat as a condiment instead of a main (or even secondary) part of a meal. Vegetables and natural rice are the bulk of the meal.
The little amount of meat you do eat should come from the sea.
Only eat until you're 80% full and then stop to allow time for the belly to send the signals to the brain that it's indeed full.
Get enjoyment from being out and about instead of on the couch watching TV.
So your choice is to eat what you want your whole life and live 9 months less when it doesn't matter anymore... or live your life in misery eating rice cakes.
I'll eat what I want in moderation, and if it shaves a few months off my life... then so be it.
The diet really does work as I’ve lost 20lbs in 23 days with some cheat days. You should not stay on the diet more than 40 days as you will start to build immunity.
This started in the 1930's, and shows up ever 10-15 years.
NOW, they say — this time — it will work IF you eat only 500 calories a day.
Does common sense — and people due diligence — exist ANYMORE!?!?

I went to Sapper school in November/December of last year and it taught me a lesson about eating. We eat way too much. When they starved me in the woods, I had energy to stay up for the 23 hours per day we were forced to stay awake and I never had the afternoon energy crash we suffer as regular soldiers or Americans. The great thing is that my weight (at 34 years old) returned to that of my high school days and I was very strong and energetic (after recovering from the frost bite, blisters, and all that comes from a very tough school in the Army).
correct....dinner one night is two hot dogs, carrots,beets and ice cream. actually ice cream after each dinner. drink lots of water and your losing weight...

Will do.
Thank you.
Meats are basically chicken, veal, some fish and small amounts of beef correct?
I have had several patients in the icu from this diet. At least one permanently brain damaged after cardiac arrest. Very dangerous diet
I’ve been pregnant 11 times. Never noticed that it caused me to lose weight ...
Yo, if you don’t eat, period, eventually you’ll get very skinny. Then you’ll die. Haven’t you seen the prisoner-of-war camp movies?
