IMO it's a joke...There is a program called the "HCG Diet" and it's restricted to 500 calories per day. Of course you're gonna lose weight on 500 cals.

also, tell her she's not allowed to wear makeup on that program either. That'll shut her up..

I know 2 people who have done this and lost a lot of weight. its one of those fads that Kevin Trudeau (the infomercial conspiracy guy) came up with in his book and people have followed it. also it involves cutting carbs and really having a strict diet (which could explain the weight loss)

BTW how is your recovery going? you never updated your situation?

For women it can curb some appetite but that is it, the hcg diet and weight loss idea is a load of crap imo.

Had my T checked and its mid 500's so think I will be ok. I havent checked sperm count though but not worried. May even start up again but incorporate pct measures periodically to prevent full on shutdown. 10 months straight is a long time.
Thanks rob
