Before going on the HCG diet everyone should read this!! It really tells you whatit says it will! Great book!

Secrets About the HCG Diet is a brief, easily digested book about a dramatic way to lose weight for a country that has a dramaticproportion of it's population that needs to lose weight. It is no secret how many people have become so discouraged, after repeatedand valiant efforts to shed pounds, to the point of giving up. As a physician, I can add that the health implications of this phenomenonare staggering and grim. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a treatment that has been around for a long time, with many ardent advocates.It utilized a hormone produced by the placenta to ensure that fat stores become available for the fetus when there is insufficient food forthe mother; thus it follows nature's own evolved pathways, and so is gentle and natural. But the weight loss, with minimal possible sideeffects, is astounding. The author puts out the information in a knowledgeable way, without any product to sell or axe to grind.It is well balanced, and can help people with weight problems decide whether and how to pursue HCG treatment with appropriate medicalsupervision. And not only weight: an under-appreciated effect of HCG is it's effect on balancing hormones via the hypothalamic centersthat are often injured or otherwise dysfunctional. The author is sometimes a bit over-enthusiastic about restoring other heath problemsat the same time. A nice thought, but losing significant weight is probably as much of a challenge as most people can handle at onetime. In future editions, perhaps those parts could go in an appendix. Overall, highly recommended for consideration by anyone witha serious weight problem.

There is much buzz around treating obesity with the HCG diet. As with any diet plan it is best to go into it well informed and assured it is the right one for you personally. This well written, researched and informative book will give you the facts you need to make that discernment for yourself.

Just as the title says, there is controversy and benefits as well as risksassociated with taking HCG. This book lays it all out. If I were you, I wouldread the book before staring the program. Great job and great writing.
