So... I made a status of mine on facebook stating that I wanted to lose weight & that I was in search of some diet/exercise partners to follow a 6wk plan with me.
I received a comment from my cousin (that I hardly ever talk to or see) & she began to tell me that her & a friend of hers is doing a 6wk program themselves and she called it the HCG Organic diet.
Now never before this have I ever even heard of this diet until she told me.
She told me that she has done this diet before & lost 40lbs in 6wks.
After searching this diet & reading reviews on it I must say that I am still a skeptic.
The diet consist of HCG injections or taking drops daily in addition to a 500 calorie a day organic diet & you don't have to exercise.
For the record... HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropins: The major hormone secreted by the placenta. In the early stages of pregnancy.
As I have told her... It sounds like a starvation diet to me & I am very awear of the starvation diet & the consequences because I've did this diet for 15 days before & I lost 25lbs in that short amount of time then after the 15 days I began to slowly introduce foods back to my body but the end result was that my tummy seemed to be the place on me where it began to store fat for it didn't know if it would ever be starved again.
I ended up gaining all of that weight back plus more.
I explained this to my cousin & she stated & I quote... After you complete the 6 weeks you continue to eat the organic foods for another 6 weeks and you slowly introduce other foods back into your diet. If you jump back into eating regular foods after the 6 weeks of course you will gain the weight back. You are (in simple form) resetting your metabolism in the 2nd six weeks to keep the weight off.
So I said to her... So is the diet actually a 12wk program? Tell me cuz? Are you hungry on this diet? Do you get dizzy? & why do a diet that would make you have to reset your metabolism afterwards just as you would need to do after a starvation diet? Im sorry but it's pretty much sounding like a starvation diet to me except you get 500 calories more than you actually would on a starvation diet. Why not just do a organic diet, not combining it with the HCG injections that you are doing because there is no scientific evidence that the HCG even helps with the weight loss process & instead just exercise?
She says... When you eat a low calorie diet without the hcg you lose structural fat instead of the abnormal fat and your body needs the structural fat.
Yet I read a review that stated that this is not true & although this person did lose an excessive amount of weight he also lost muscle. & in his exact words he says... In my opinion, the HCG Diet is just like any other starvation diet out there today, as far as end results. Only 59% of my weight loss was actual fat. Included in that fat loss was a drop in my visceral fat-- this is needed structural fat, the kind that HCG is supposed to prevent. I am here to tell you that it most certainly DID NOT protect me from losing vital fat. And it certainly didn't protect me from losing vital muscle.
Also I read where some of the sellers are not selling you exactly what you think you are buying. The HCG is not cheap & you could be getting scammed. Wouldn't it upset you if you found out after you spent hundreds of dollars that it really wasn't HCG in the bottle & it was something else like maybe saline???
So of course I'd love to lose 40lbs in 6wks but I am asking all that has done this diet & it has been well over 12wks since to give me your review on it because as I said I am still skeptical???
Best answer:
Well here's the thing you could lose weight on your own eating only 500 calories a day, that in itself is STARVATION!! The daily recommended calorie allowance for a human is 2000. The Hcg diet works because it tricks your metabolism into speeding up. And thats great for a while, but as soon as you stop those Hcg injections your metabolism will screech back to a halt and you'll be right back where you ended up. Plus there haven't been any long term studies done yet to determine if this is safe IN THE LONG RUN!! So imagine you do this and then 10 or even 20 yrs later you have health related issues due to those injections and then who will you blame? If you want to lose weight cut your calories down to a resonable amount like 1500 and excersise, its that simple. Also if your losing more than 1 lb a week that's not safe reliable weight loss that will stay with you for years to come. thats yo-yo dieting and you will most likely gain it all + more back.

Effectiveness Of HCG Drops
Article by Donny Sharpe
HCG eating plan drops are not only the sizzling diet regime item of the moment, they are the weight loss item of the long run. You've most likely heard that HCG can support you to drop one-two kilos of fat per day, but do you comprehend how HCG performs? HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin is hormone that is introduced through pregnancy to ensure both the mom and rising fetus have sufficient nourishment to remain healthy. When the mother's calorie consumption is as well reduced, the mother's stored body fat is launched for her and the infant.When a non-pregnant individual takes HCG (male or female), the exact same unwanted fat burning signal goes off. The brain is triggered to release stored fat for power and nutrients. HCG can burn up up to three,000 calories of excess fat a day, so when you merge HCG with a low-calorie eating plan you are selected to shed excess weight speedily.HCG comes in the two injection and drop kind, both equally of which are equally efficient for bodyweight loss. But because HCG diet regime drops are significantly less high priced and are less difficult to obtain, I typically suggest this option. Not like other intense very low-calorie diet programs, the HCG diet program is fully safe and will not harm your metabolism. You are receiving the two,000 calories your body requirements to operate properly, but alternatively of receiving all of these calories from meals, you are obtaining most of them from the undesired unwanted fat you have saved on your system. You still get to eat some delicious meals as well! You are authorized to try to eat (in accordance to particular portion measurements) meat, veggies, fruit and some bread. This way you are getting the vitamins and healthful foods you will need though you eliminate a ton of weight.If a single was to attempt The 500 Calorie HCG Diet with no taking the HCG diet program drops, they would likely turn into sick and their metabolic process would shut down. When you starve yourself this way, your system thinks you are starving by yourself and goes into hibernation mode (it tries to save as a lot quick as doable). But by taking the HCG you are still obtaining the calories you need to have so you won't hoard excess fat, you'll only burn off it!HCG is scientifically confirmed and has been utilised by doctors considering that the 1950s - but it is only now readily available with no a prescription. To date I have not heard one particular person say that they didn't lose a phenomenal total of weight with HCG. Plus, once you have lost your sought after total of weight, it becomes hard for you to obtain fat in the long term. HCG diet plan drops are not only the sizzling diet item of the minute, they are the excess weight reduction solution of the long run. "When you go on the HCG eating plan, your system will undergo some wonderful transformations. Not only will you eliminate a considerable quantity of fat, your human body contour will actually transform and your system will reprogram alone in a quantity of weighs. In addition, your human body will really reprogram itself in a variety of approaches.
