obesity
"I have done the HCg injections and lost 40 lbs.  I did loose some muscle but I kept the weight off til I had significant stress and reverted to bad habits.  THat's my bad.  What people need to understand is that you need to follow the HCG plan by dr SImons.  No, you cannot eat hamburger, no you cannot have a glass of wine everyday, no you cannot eat watermelon - at least in phase 2, 3.  People fail at this diet because they refuse to adher or do not read about the original diet and follow it.  But it works when you do it right.  And I felt better on it than off it - it helped with my shoulder pain."
