My Review

I am not sure if it is because of the HCG or my 1/2 thyoid. Since doing the HCG I found I have many food allergies and now live a gluten free vegan lifestyle to stay clear of my allergens. Everytime I do the diet I lose weight and fast. That is why I have done it so many times but I keep gaining it back. I am again back up and ordering it again to try to get back down. I don't know why I can't keep it off. But it has not stayed off for very long periods of time. When I am in the Phase 3 part of the HCG diet where I can eat all I want just as long as it is no starch or sugar I do fine and keep the weight off as soon as Phase 4 is started the weight starts coming back.
