My Review 

I have tried for years to lose weight on every plan including Weight Watchers (gained 12 pounds) and a water fast (gained 4 pounds) and a gym membership with a personal trainer and her "guaranteed to lose weight diet" where I gained 2 pouds. She told me I HAD to be cheating.

I tried the HCG drops on the recommendation of a friend and I love it. First round I went from 167 to 154 and went on maintenance so I could go on a cruise. On the cruise I gained 7 lbs but I ate carbs, ice cream etc (only because I had never been able to indulge in the last 10 years!)

I went on round 2 and lost the 7 pound of cruise weight plus 2 more in about 10 days. Yes, it's that amazing. About a pound a day.

I just had thyroid diagnosed after many years of symptoms but my old doctor said my bloodwork wasn't "bad" enough to put me on meds. I went to another doctor who told me she could SEE my enlarged thyroid and ordered an ultrasound plus bloodwork.

I now take Armour I am hopeful that getting the thyroid issue resolved plus HCG will get my weight to within a "normal range. That's all I want - to be within a normal range so my blood pressure isn't out of whack and I am not in danger of diabetes.

Did you successfully lose weight on this diet? 

Yes

How much weight did you lose so far? 

11-25 lbs

Pros for Thyroid Patients? 

You almost get to see the fat falling off! It's very rewarding.

The diet is regimented so it is insanely easy to follow. I like the no carbs-no sugar- no fat rules. I have 2 sets of drops - in the morning, then throughout the day I eat 2 meat, 2 vegetables and 2 fruits. That's it.

Cons for Thyroid Patients? 

Don't know enough about thyroid yet to make a comment.

All I know is it is working for me!

In what format did you take HCG? 

Homeopathic drops (No Rx)

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

No
