There is not one study on the entire planet that shows that the HCG molecule can be absorbed orally and have any affect in the blood based on testing. It doesn't happen, study after study has proved this. You WILL lose weight on a 500 calorie a day diet, with or without HCG. We've had over a dozen of our patients who have gone through the protocol (at other clinics) and 11 of those have regained all their weight within about 4 months. Some of them are showing symptoms of severe calorie deprivation (hair loss, etc) six months after they went on a very low calorie diet. None of them addressed their underlying eating issues and went back to eating the same way they ate that made them overweight in the first place. It's not the HCG. It's the calorie restriction. Our clinic has collected the studies cited from so called HCG clinics, and what we've discovered (by actually reading them) is that most of the studies actually show that HCG worked no better than a placebo. So called HCG clinics are charging from 500 - 1500 dollars. A six week supply of injectible HCG costs that clinic between $30 and $50. Congrats on your successful weight loss... but unless you completely change the relationship with food that made you overweight in the first place it's likely to come back.
