		<description>&lt;p&gt;To Diane: I am so happy to read your post!!!I am a Type 1 diabetic as well and I have been spending hours researching HcG to see if it is right for me and I believe it is. I too, have spent so much time trying so many different things, and I am very active playing tennis 3 times a week and walking in betwee, but the scale never budges. I would love to hear more from you if you don&#039;t mind. Did your endo prescribe the HcG injections for you? How long did it take you to lose the 30?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yup, remember, this IS &quot;the Weight Loss Cure THEY don&#039;t want you to know about&quot;. Here&#039;s a clue for those of you who haven&#039;t figured out that we are manipulated from birth to death by corporate interests, and their accomplices in the so-called health &quot;care&quot; industry. This diet doesn&#039;t benefit &quot;them&quot;... so don&#039;t hold your breath waiting for a good review from &quot;them&quot;. Now, &quot;diet and exercise&quot; ... there&#039;s a gold mine... in so many ways! And diet pills, with a 1000% markup...what&#039;s not to love? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I lost 50 pounds in 60 days as easy as pie with HCG (well, OK, no pie, at least until goal weight was achieved) and have kept it off so far without any real effort. The key to this diet is it doesn&#039;t just work... if you spend the time to learn about it and follow it correctly, it literally reeducates your body to handle food better, and you will desire better and less fattening foods. This is a terrific example of something that works precisely because it is a perfectly natural substance, NOT a drug. I don&#039;t think God designed this hormone for pregnant women as a cruel joke... or because it doesn&#039;t work ... do you?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry, but science can be flawed, dirty or both. This diet works and so far is the only thing out there to help a lot of desperately unhappy people who have tried everything their whole lives. But I love that it&#039;s underground and dismissed by the mainstream -- gives it more credibility.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t care what anyone says.  Burning more calories than you take in doesn&#039;t always work.  I&#039;ve tried everything under the sun. Food journals, excercise, body buggs, etc.  I think the people that can do this with diet and excercise are the lucky ones in life and they should buy a lottery ticket.  For the rest of us that have tried everything under the sun to lose weight....it&#039;s time to look at options such as the hcg.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Those studies didn&#039;t follow Dr. Simeons&#039; Protocol. The foods that they ate plus the caloric sum plus the dosages were wrong. I&#039;m sorry the studies showed no evidence that the protocol did work because they didn&#039;t follow the protocol. I&#039;m sorry but &quot;scientific research&quot; is flawed!! I am a personal trainer myself. I&#039;ve had a weight problem all of my life. I would workout hard 2-3 hours/day. I trained to become a boxer and so the intensity of my workouts were through the roof! I&#039;ve been on every diet you can name including WW which is purportedly &quot;healthy&quot; and &quot;sensible&quot;. Oh yeah, eating 100 cal. portion sizes of sugar and chemicals is sensible. Right. I always felt deprived...always. This diet only been the diet that works for me. I carry it in my middle. My middle is melting. The most difficult to go on me. I&#039;m sorry. I don&#039;t care what &quot;science&quot; says. It&#039;s saving many people&#039;s lives, giving them another opportunity to live again.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hmmmm...I question the double-bind studies too. I have gone through 2 rounds since Feb. of this year and have lost 60 pounds on the HCG Diet. I was never hungry and was able to break my dependency on sugar, alcohol and bad carbs. I swear by the diet. I didn&#039;t have the will power myself to do this without hunger. Has anyone ever tried a 500 calorie a day diet?! I don&#039;t think saline injections would prevent extreme hunger pangs or the loss of significant lean tissue. I&#039;ve been checking body-fat as well and it has gone done in direct proportion to my weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The minds of the naysayers will never be changed if they haven&#039;t had to resort to this program out of desperation.  I&#039;ve read on other sites that the double-blind studies were a &#039;ruse&#039; to get this product out of circulation because of the loss of money to the pharmaceutical companies.  Makes sense to me!  How can ANYONE dispute the positive results of SO MANY PEOPLE!?  So far, I&#039;ve lost 25lbs in 28 days.  I&#039;d say this product works pretty good!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have to agree with everyone else. I stuggled with losing weight for years and have tried every diet.  The HCG is working for me, I am down 30+ lbs and am continuing to lose.&lt;/p&gt;
