I am doing some advertisings and brochures for a client of mine, on weight loss with Human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG.

They are a couple of Doctor's and are offering this weight loss stystem to their patients.

I have read alot about it, done a few ad campaigns, but want to see if any one here as any experience with it.

Really does it work. I have seen amazing results with the DRs. one lost 42 lbs.

So let me know your story!

Thanks

Thanks Deb! Well I have written the ad copy and sent it to all the magazines for the ads.

I will be interviewing some of the patients that are on it and in different stages. So I can get testimonals on their web site.

Just curious to see how it is working for every one .

HCG as in the hormone that's present in your urine when you're pregnant?

i did a google search and one of the top results came from here:

Is this the injectable? Or something "called" HCG or HGH in pill form?

Yeah, wasn't that big in the 80's to be injected with pregnant women's urine (obviously containing HCG) ? I thought that didn't work...?

I've never done it, but I had a consult at a place that offers it. I was pretty gung ho about doing it until I started thinking about my hormones. My hormones are cuh-ray-zee on my BEST day-so I got a little nervous about adding extra hormones in. It's in pill form now, and it's also a super super restricted diet b/c the hcg is supposed to "reset" your metabolism, so that it doesn't go into starvation mode.

I'd first heard about it when I read a book by..dangit..the guy who does the Miracle Cures They Don't Want You to Know About type books..argh..whatever his name is, he has a Weight Loss Secrets book, and that's the secret-hcg.

My bff asked her mom about the diet-she's a Dr..and Dr said she wouldn't put her worst enemy on it for any reason, so she wasn't about to give her daughter the ok for it. That also scared me away.

It works if you diet like crazy. My sister got it done and it was working at first, but then she couldn't stick with it and it stopped working

Yikes! Sounds unsafe and scarey to me. I agree...eat less, exercise more. I lost over 70lbs; the good, old-fashioned way. Sure, it's slow; and absolutely NO FUN, but for me, the safest and best method.

No matter how our bodies struggle and fight against weight loss (and, I would swear that they do), we just cannot deny that burning more calories than we take in = weight loss. It is purely that simple.
