How many times over the years have you tried to lose weight? How many different plans have you
tried? How successful were you at it? I have tried several times myself. I checked my
records to see how successful I was with each diet at the six week mark. This is what I found:

As you can see, by far the most effective of these for me was the HCG Diet. (Your results may vary.)
The HCG Diet is an off-label protocol that combines use of small doses of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG)
with a specific very low calorie diet as presented in
Pounds and Inches
by A.T.W. Simeons M. D. Since it is an off-label protocol, it has not been declared safe or effective
by the FDA.
Even so, as I did my research prior to starting the diet, time and again I found success stories—not
just of the weight loss properties of the diet, but also of long-term success at maintaining the loss once
accomplished. The diet promised to reset my metabolism so that I would not gain the weight back.
Since at the time I was gaining weight at a fairly high rate, this benefit particularly appealed to me.
I decided to take the risk and give it a try. I chose to dose sublingually with pharmaceutical
hCG. I used the recipe at
All Day Chemist. As you can see in the table
above, the initial weight loss phase has been phenomenally successful. It remains to be seen if I will
get the metabolic benefits I am hoping for.

HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no
substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction,
that it causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and
discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.
