TEStIMONIALS
Jim's Experience:
“I have completed the HCG Diet and lost a total of 36 lbs. I have been
off the diet and have not gained any weight. In fact I lost 6 more pounds
because I finally had energy to work out. I noticed I'm not having any sort
of rebound effect when I eat bad food. I was afraid that I might put it
right back on, but that isn't the case so far.
Not only did I lose belly
fat, my jiggly arms are no longer jiggling; my thighs no longer cover most
of the chair; my neck went from 18" to 16"; my blood pressure
went from 147/96 to 116/76; my butt no longer is scary to look at in the
mirror (my girlfriend said it's really cute now); I don't snore anymore
and I can fit into $20,000 of suits and other clothing I haven't warn in
10 years!
After a couple months when I weigh myself regularly I find it easy to keep
the weight off. When I eat some junk food and gain a pound or two--it easily
burns off when I cut back on the carbs and eliminate the sweets for a few
days.
You can call me directly (908) 598-0509 if you have any questions.

The FDA did not review these
statements; please consult your primary care physician for specific instructions
relating to your personal medical conditions.
Since 1975, the FDA has required labeling and advertising of HCG to state:
“HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.”
This does not mean its not safe, nor does it mean its not effective. What it means is that there are no double blind clinical studies that have been reported in peer reviewed clinical journals supporting the use of HCG as a dietary aid. You should talk to people who have done the diet and consult your physician.
NOTICE:
ALL WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN PREGNANT & ALL MEN WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH PUBERTY
HAVE HAD HCG IN THEIR BODY AT FAR HIGHER LEVELS THAN THOSE TAKING HCG AS PART
OF THE HCG DIET.
Past side effects, although minor, were reported by patients taking HCG at
50-70 times the dosage prescribed for the HCG Diet (10,000 I.U.'s prescribed
for increased ovulation vs 125-200 I.U.s prescribed for HCG Diet); we are not aware of any side effects reported
from taking HCG for the diet. All past side effects from taking high dosage
HCG were similar to symptoms that many women typically experience during pregnancy,
such as delayed, shortened or prolonged menstual cycles or minor cramping.
