It seems like everybody likes a little scandal and controversy and what with all the tabloids and entertainment/celebrity tv shows like “extra” and “tmz” focused on just that it is made readily handy to us. And when it comes to diets and diet fads there definitely is no lack of scandal and the gossip about it.
The HCG weight loss program has no lack of such things when it comes to how and if it works. But the controversy in the HCG program has taken on a new face and that face belongs to Kevin Trudeau.
If you take a look at Trudeau’s past it seems scandal and controversy follows him where ever he goes nowadays with many lawsuits due to misrepresentation of products on his infomercials. The interesting part is that the controversy that Trudeau has brought to HCG has been more beneficial than not.
Comments about HCG Hormone Diets
The first aspect of the controversy created by Trudeau was how he rocked the boat a little bit with statements from his book “The Weight Loss Cure “They” Don’t Want You To Know About” in which he has made claim that the FDA and drug companies are secretly trying to keep people from knowing about the HCG hormone and it’s help in weight loss in order to benefit themselves.
Be it true or not, Trudeau’s book has brought a bit of a revival to the HCG weight loss solution. Unfortunately, the controversy has not stopped there. It seems some of Trudeau’s skeletons have returned from the closet and, once again, he is being brought before the law for deceiving statements made about the HCG diet plan.

For those of you who give much value to the commissions and administrations our government has established to regulate all areas of our society, you would be interested to hear what they say about your HCG weight loss program.
And it isn’t anything new. At one point in the 1970’s HCG became the most used weight loss substance throughout the United States. That is, until the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had their word.
In 1976 the FTC ordered specific organizations and clinics that sold and distributed HCG injections to no longer describe HCG as a safe, effective, and viable weight loss program approved by the FDA.
And since that time all HCG promoters and distributers have been required to issue in writing this warning:
THESE WEIGHT REDUCTION TREATMENTS INCLUDE THE INJECTION OF HCG, A DRUG WHICH HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION AS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY OR WEIGHT CONTROL. THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT HCG INCREASES WEIGHT LOSS BEYOND THAT RESULTING FROM CALORIC RESTRICTION, THAT IT CAUSES A MORE ATTRACTIVE OR “NORMAL” DISTRIBUTION OF FAT OR THAT IT DECREASES THE HUNGER AND DISCOMFORT ASSOCIATED WITH CALORIE-RESTRICTIVE DIETS.
On top of this written warning the FDA required labeling and advertising to make this statement: HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity.
There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.
Surprisingly enough, despite such opposition from the FDA and FTC HCG continues to be a widely used weight loss option.

Devices to Lose Weight
With any amount of looking-into one would have a basic idea of the supplies necessary for performing your HCG hormone weight loss program. But with a little bit more investigation you would see that there is a longer list of needs than first believed.
Will HCG Shots Harm my body?
One suggested item is the HCG test strip. This helps you to test the levels of HCG in your drop bottle or injection mix. Another item is a Body Fat Monitor and Myo Tape. This is a device that analysis’s your body fat as it sends micro electrical currents through your hands.
As the electrical current goes through your body it displays Bioelectrical Impedance Method (Bi) and the Body Mass Index (BMI). Since muscles, blood vessels, and bones contain water the Bi measures where there is any lack of water which signifies what is fat.
The Myo tape is simply a tape measure that allows you to keep track of any loss of inches on your thigh, mid-section, arms, legs, or neck. Then there is the Food Scale which is important as you follow the regimented HCG diet, especially when weighing your 100 grams protein for lunch and dinner.
Other possible items to help with keeping up on your diet is the George Foreman grill, the Bamboo Steamer which comes in handy with all the steaming to do with your proteins and vegetables, and a Microwave Onion Cooker since sautéing the onions with oil would be prohibited.
With all things considered for the cost of doing the HCG weight loss program, seeing these extra little costs makes you want to really reconsider if this plan is worth the cost.

When considering HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) hormone injections as a method of weight loss one must factor in accessibility of all the products involved.
Besides the substance HCG itself users must purchase “mix kits” (which include syringes, mixing vial, mixing solvent, and alcohol wipes), Sodium-Chloride, and Bacteriostatic water. There are two conventional methods to go about acquiring HCG and HCG supplies. The first is by mail-order in one of the HCG weight loss clinics.
The advantages for this are that the specialized personnel of these facilities will be able to aid you in all the specifics in order to buy exactly what is needed. The disadvantages are the cost of the services offered at the clinic and that there are limited numbers of clinics nationwide.
HCG Hormones and my body
Altogether there are 55 in the continental United States and many of those are located in isolated areas rather then spread out. The second purchasing method is via the internet. This can feel at times like the zombie mode of Call of Duty’s Black Ops.
As you make your way through a maze of doors and rooms, you end up back tracking and looking for more. There are 3 good sources for finding all your HCG needs on the internet: HCG provider directory, HCG weight loss specific search engine, and advertisements on HCG specialized websites.
You’ll find that once you click one link it usually leads you to another. This is especially true for buying the HCG injections them self. There are a couple of websites that sell the necessary supplies needed for the injections, including Amazon.com, but all signs point to just one place to buy the HCG hormone itself and that is reliablerxpharmacy.com.

In today’s economy there is much more hesitancy in how people spend their money. Last year’s government initiated “cash for clunkers” rebate plan stood as shining example of how consumers in the United States need a little push in order to get them to spend their money nowadays.
So when it comes to choosing what weight loss program a person uses, how much weight is loss in one’s wallet takes priority over how much weight is loss in one’s body.
If this is true, how does the HCG hormone injections compare to other weight loss programs? Now, exact and detailed costs cannot be given in this present article, but a look at the general costs will give us a good idea.
When looking at today’s most popular pure dieting and exercising programs like Jillian Michaels, Denise Austin, Joy Bauers, and Weight Watchers you are looking at a range of $16-$40 per month.
The home delivered pre-planned meal weight loss programs range from $300.00 to $635.00 with companies like Nutrisystem, eDiets, and Diet-to-go. Dr. Simeons HCG diet protocol has its main costs attributed to any participate having to purchase the HCG injections and supplies used for the injections.
Pregnancy Hormone to Lose Weight
A basic estimate for injections are $10 each with supplies for a month’s injections being around $50.00. Based upon frequency of injections the cost of the HCG weight loss plan per month ranges from $70.00 to $250.00. This does not include costs of doctor visits.
