HCG Hormone diet...anyone have thoughts on this or expereince?

March 19, 2010

I had a friend come to me for help regarding her parents. See email below:

* " Dad went to the doctor because he’s been having horrible headaches and

found out that he has high blood pressure. Naturally, I think they are

starting to worry a little bit about their health. So my Mom and Dad are

trying a new diet called the HGC Hormone diet through our family doctor.

They put a drop of HGC hormone under their tongue every morning and then eat

ONLY 500 calories a day for 30 days!! They can’t work out during the 30 day

diet but they can once it’s over*. "

I have not heard of this diet until now and cannot believe what I see in

this email...especially since it is coming from a doctor! Any thoughts,

experiences? Is this just another " fad " diet?

My friend hopes to hire me to speak with her parents after this whole diet

is complete so they are able to maintain a " practical healthy lifestyle. "

Thanks is advacne for any knowledge!
