Dieting With HCG, Bad Idea!

This is the worst idea I have ever heard of in dieting. HCG is a pregnancy/fertility hormone, and not a dieting aid. Our bodies and our hormones are designed so specifically and completely for certain functions, and dieting is not a function of HCG. Yet some highly unethical doctors are prescribing it for women. Besides being very expensive, where is the proof that it even works. On top of that, the women using these hormone injections are only taking in 500 calories per day. Wow, that sounds like almost total starvation to me. Have you ever tried limiting your calorie intake to 500 calories in one day. How could you fall asleep, you would be so hungry you wouldn’t be able to sleep. I have trouble holding calories down to 2000!

I am not a doctor, but some things you just know are wrong, and this is one of those things!
