My Review
I did this diet some 22 years ago, before it was widely known. It was the only way I could lose weight after trying everything under the sun from Weight Watchers to fad diets. I'd recommend an HCG diet to anyone, provided they get the complete workup before hand and have the close monitoring that my program provided me. The only cons to this are the shots you receive and that's really about it. I learned a lot about my body and a lot about my endocrine system from this diet.
Unfortunately, the place I went to is no longer in existence. But they completely re-taught me how to eat, how to cook my food, which foods to combine with which and why, and they made me visit the clinic three times a week for weigh-ins, monitored my food diaries and provided psychological/emotional counseling as well. I could not have lost all the weight I had to lose without this diet. I have kept it off ever since.
