hcg diet?

my wife asked me if i knew about the hcg diet last night. i just had a litte time to look into it because i hadn't heard of it and it sounded like bs taking hcg to lose weight. from what i saw you are limiting calories to 500 per day. of course you will lose weight on that, possibly your sanity too. it is also a very strict protien only type diet (very strict atkins). then when you do eat carbs after so many weeks its just fiberous carbs. like i said i didnt dig too deep so i could be wrong on some of this. any of you hear of it or know about?

I thought the same thing when I first heard about it.
But there is some "science" behind it. JA was talking about it.
Has something to do with the HCG preserving muscle while on a low cal diet.
Something to do with when a woman is pregnant the baby is obviously taking alot of cals from the mother, the HCG is released into her body for this reason or at least thats a pretty close disciption of it.
My 1st thoughts were the same, ya eat 500cals and of coarse your going to lose weight but after hearing this it made a little more since...............11

HCG or not...You eat 500 calories a day and your gonna drop a shit load of weight....Very Fast, and you may very well kill everyone in your family...LMAO.
