Has anyone been using HCG drops to lose weight? Several friends have started and are losing an incredible amount of weight.
Just curious of anyone on here has...

The problem for me though is that I am just not hungry at all. I have to remind myself to eat, however I do. I am using it just to help focus on what i am trying to do, exercise and help the start of the process. So far so good. I can see how people can do 500 only calories in a day. It completely takes your food hunger away.

It also allows your body to lose fat and retain muscle, which is why body builders love it so much. It also keeps your testes producing testosterone and is even used in young men who are having trouble reaching puberty and can increase libido. They think this hormone is released during pregnancy so that fat is mobilized to feed the baby so that even if the mother can't find food the baby will still survive (third world countries). Although 500 calories is extremely too low in my opinion for a diet you have to agree HCG does much more than appetite suppressant.

You are absolutely about the HCG drops, those are a scam. You need a real prescription HCG for it to work and you don't have to inject, you can also create your own sublingual solution. Taken without a prescription it is illegal in most area's, but so is a lot of things. Yeah most bodybuilders take HCG to keep test up and going after they stop their test injections. They couldn't use it as a weight loss the way most people do because they could never retain their muscle mass on a diet that low in calories. I agree that most people on a 500 calorie diet would do close to the same if on HCG or not, but HCG allows for the metabolism to stay up. Without HCG and a 500 calorie diet after a short amount of time your body would try to slow down its fat loss by slowing your metabolism dramatically, HCG helps to prevent this from happening. Also you have the anorectic properties. I have taken all sorts of things to lose weight and build muscles. I can say for a matter of fact caffeine and green tea is nothing compared to this stuff. I would say the appetite curb is similar to phentermine and much stronger than ephedrine but without the jitters. Again it's your body and do your research, but it works for me.
