HCG Diet Scam Alerts
You are here reading this page because you're concerned about the HCG Diet. Perhaps you've already read some negative remarks about it. Well, let's just consider the F A C T S. 

I have a group of friends who started the HCG Diet before I did. There are a total of five people in this group. I'll call them group 1. The second group of friends consist of just me and two others. We are group 2. Now let's consider some facts about our little hcg diet groups.

FACT 1: Group 1 went on the hcg diet together. They purchased their hcg diet materials online. They all started on the same day.

About three weeks into the diet they all took a camping trip and ate like pigs for about a week. During this time they didn't realise they should not have been taking the injections. They all gained about 3 or more lbs. After the trip, they resumed the diet for another 2 weeks.

Each of the group 1 gals lost 20 lbs or more during their first phase 2. Even through they totally did it wrong, since they pigged out for a week in the middle of it.

FACT 2: Group 2 started the diet within about a week of each other. Sue has lost 30 lbs in about 31 days, Sally has lost 22 lbs in about 26 days and I lost 17 lbs in 35 days. Sue and Sally faithfully have drank all the teas and water required. Sadly, I did not realise how important it was and only during my last week did I really pay attention. However, I had a nice increase of 3 lbs lost in 5 days so... that was encouraging.

FACT 3: The HCG Diet is expensive if you follow it like Kevin T. talks about it. It is less expensive if you don't go totally organic. Dr. Simeons does not talk about going organic. It is still expensive to buy the injections, but if you eat out a lot, eat a lot of fast food, and drink sodas, most likely you'll be spending about the same amount of money as you would if you were not doing the hcg diet.

FACT 4: UPDATED 11-11-08: The success of this diet is really going to depend on far too many factors to say if you will or will not be successful. I am now updating my information here because I feel that success is low, as in all diets because I have seen what has happened to all my friends after a year. They have gained the weight back and some gained more. Just like any other diet.

FACT 5: Just because people can write and publish on the Internet, doesn't mean they are intellegent or looking to help you lose weight. There are plenty of people that are morons and idiots who just want to create problems. Why listen to people saying this diet doesn't work, when there are far more people saying it does?

UPDATED: Well, probably because these people have experienced the pain and agony of being hungry ALL THE TIME, and gaining the weight back. I will talk more about my personal observations in the coming weeks. 11-11-2008.

FACT 6: If you do not follow this diet correctly, you will not see the weight loss as others do. I know, I didn't drink enough water or tea and I didn't lose as much as group 1 or my other pals in group 2.

UPDATE: I also think that if you have candida, which most people do, you will have problems like I did. If you are always hungry on this diet, I think you are in for a very hard fight. One of the problems you will face is once you are off the main part of this diet, and can eat the amount you want, but not what you want to eat, you just might do like the rest of us and eat whatever because you've been STARVING for variety.

FACT 7: You will find negative remarks about anything online if you look for it. All programs, all diets, all products "almost" always have both positive and negative information about them online.

What works for Kevin T. may not work for you. What did not work for me, may work for you.

FACT 8: Go to the sorce for your information. Read Dr. Simeons documents and read Kevin's book to understand more about how this diet works and why it might be something you want to try.

Understand you may be HUNGRY the entire time you are on this diet. It requires extreme control. And it is an endurance weight loss program as far as I am concerned. 

FACT 9: THE HCG DIET IS EXTREMLY HARD TO DO. You will read that many people are not hungry. However, I'm going to tell you that SOME of us are. In fact, most of us in group 1 and 2 have found this to be a very difficult diet regarding the hunger pangs. I did notice that when I drank all of my teas and water by 2:00 pm I did not have to fight the hunger - as much. Even when you're full of water, there is an emptyness you may have trouble with.

FACT 10: Some people want you to fail and that is a sad but true fact. People can be rude and stupid. If you want to try this diet, try it. If you listen to others trying to stop you from trying, well... perhaps its just not the diet for you anyway.

FACT 11: UPDATE: I lost 17 lbs. And gained it all back I think within about 5 months. It was painful to do that diet. I was incredibly hungry all the time. Sometimes more than others. I was bloated from drinking soooooo much water. The HCG diet was not for me. I do not think the HCG diet is a scam. I believe there are too many factors to consider as to why some fail and others succeed.

Interesting Point of View: There was this program on the other night about how other countries view americans. One lady was visiting Chigago and became extremly alarmed as she noticed that the city was full of mostly fat people. She said she had to get out of that city fast before she caught the fat disease.

Sorry, I didn't catch the program name, but if you think about why americans are fat you will probably come to a conclusion that goes something like this:

1. FAST Food is a staple diet here in the US

2. StarBucks sells milk shakes in the form of coffee. People drink these shakes and do not realise they are about 1000 calories per drink! Some people drink 2 or more per day!!!

3. You can buy just about anything in a box. Potatoes, maccaroni and cheese, pizza, and sandwitches. Everything is processed and created with ingrediants that will make us want to eat more and more and more. People have stopped eating fresh food and become lazy at cooking.

4. Eating out is almost a daily routeen for many people. Eating out should be an occational treat. Eating out helps people eat more and more and get fatter and fatter.

FACT 12: The hcg diet has opened my eyes. Suddenly I became aware of the high percentage of fat people after reading Kevin's book. It is said that 60% of americans are alarmingly overweight. I have actually counted the people as they came in and out of the store and found the percentage in my area to be higher for women. It was more like 7 out of every 10 adults were fat. And I'm not talking about 20 lbs or so, I'm talking 100 lbs or more!

FACT 13: Once I started this diet I began to analyse my eating habbits and found that I eat too much junk food. I have since began to strategise my eating habbits and plan on tossing out processed foods. I already have actually tossed out tons of boxed food. It doesn't take that much time to create a fresh meal. I have learned to cook pretty quick meals. Once I can add more variety of food, I plan on continueing this trend.

FACT 14: Nothing will make you fatter than going back to your old eating habbits, no matter what diet you do. So DON"T. Stop eating fast food. Just say no to processed foods. Avoid SODA and Coffee shakes like cancer!

Oh... gotta go to work... talk to you laters.
