up to 8 drops of Lugols a day. Does it just take awhile (I now we all want

I did the HCG diet and it messed up my gut. I lost 20 lbs but going low carb

/high fat I lost more weight and wasn't hungry. HCG is almost no fat.

We need good fats in our diet to make hormones. Low/no fat is not good for you,

from what I've read.

What is the HCG diet? What kind of food is involved?

I feel better that I'm on iodine again, now that I'm also taking thyroid usp but I do gain weight on iodine (at least so far on each of the 2 rounds I've been on it) and I get really bad constipation from iodine.My doc mentioned the HCG shots too.

You can google the Hcg Diet.

It's supposed to encourage growth hormone

production, which will burn fat and encourage

muscle growth and other things.

I read on the Mercola site that taking growth hormone will also cause cancer cells to grow.He doesn't recommend it.

I don't have the research at hand but most advanced sources now say that

low-fat diets are destructive to the body and that fats are necessary to

satiety, not to mention good health.

I have been losing weight on iodine. Certainly not gaining.
