The HCG Diet

I must admit, anyone selling weight loss pills, powders, potions, or whatnot immediately makes me skeptical.  So I read about the HCG Diet.  These folks are the original providers of this diet program. They tout no exercise is necessary.  This piques my interest because as of right now, I am still not able to exercise on a regular basis.  I'm stronger, yes.  But the MG doesn't respond well to repetitive motion.

However, then I see that the first 2 days using this product you are to eat as much saturated fat as possible.  They justify this by saying that you will be eating so few calories in the days ahead you need these fat stores to get you through.  I'm sorry, but I don't see how 2 days of eating fat would help anyone through "living comfortably on 500 calories a day."

These products ARE made in America, which I love.  And there are many testimonies on facebook that you can check out for yourself.  Always make your own, informed decision rather than taking my word for it.  And ALWAYS check with your doctor before starting any kind of radical diet plan, especially if you have chronic health issues.
