I'm sorry for this dude is promoting EATING DISORDERS.

I don't care how much weight you lost (congrats btw, but you could have done it other ways) this is NOt healthy habits/behaviour/way of life to lose weight.

The doctor is helping you lose weight by inducing FEAR into you.

It's very restrictive, let alone the 500 calorie diet.

No medicines or cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and powder may be used without special permission.

what the.... In this webpage claim that any contact to creams (including face creams, moisturizers for the skin etc) can affect your weight in a negative way simply because you TOUCHED it and ABSORBED it in your skin??

Way to make you fear getting "fat" because it is absorbed my merely touching something?

The most tiresome patients are those who start counting Calories and then come up with all manner of ingenious variations which they compile from their little books. When one has spent years of weary research trying to make a diet as attractive as possible without jeopardizing the loss of weight, culinary geniuses who are out to improve their unhappy lot are hard to take.

People want variety in their foods. This guy is feeding you a monotonous, anorexic diet. If he says you can eat 500 calories? then you should be able to eat 500 calories, not the anorexic-approved diet.

Some patients unwittingly take chewing gum, throat pastilles, vitamin pills, cough syrups etc., without realizing that the sugar or fats they contain may interfere with a regular loss of weight. Sex hormones or cortisone in its various modern forms must be avoided, though oral contraceptives are permitted. In fact the only self-medication we allow is aspirin for a headache, though headaches almost invariably disappear after a week of treatment, particularly if of the migraine type.

You can get sugar free medication, and if you're sick? You can't just sit there and starve yourself & not help yourself get well. Even if you're hollistic, you can take vitamins- and he won't even allow THAT!

Towards the end of a full course, when a good deal of fat has been rapidly lost, some patients complain that lifting a weight or climbing stairs requires a greater muscular effort than before. They feel neither breathlessness nor exhaustion but simply that their muscles have to work harder. This phenomenon, which disappears soon after the end of the treatment, is caused by the removal of abnormal fat deposited between, in, and around the muscles. The removal of this fat makes the muscles too long, and so in order to achieve a certain skeletal movement - say the bending of an arm - the muscles have to perform greater contraction than before. Within a short while the muscle adjusts itself perfectly to the new situation, but under HCG the loss of fat is so rapid that this adjustment cannot keep up with it. Patients often have to be reassured that this does not mean that they are “getting weak”. This phenomenon does not occur in patients who regularly take vigorous exercise and continue to do so during treatment.

Because it's NOT healthy!

In the course of treatment the possibility of such an attack (LOW BLOOD SUGAR) is explained to those patients who are in a phase in which a drop in blood sugar may occur. They are instructed to keep sugar or glucose sweets handy, particularly when driving a car.

Great so you risk having low blood sugar when you're not even diabetic? Awesome.

This rule is that they must have their own portable bathroom-scale always at hand,

Eating Disorder central. creating obsession about a number on a scale!

[quote]The moment the scale goes beyond two pounds, even if this is only a few ounces, they must on that same day entirely skip breakfast and lunch but take plenty to drink. In the evening they must eat a huge steak with only an apple or a raw tomato[/quote]


RED ALERT! RED ALERT!


You should never skip meals over 2 pounds.
