I agree this can be true – and for me, the cost, but the emotional torment as well! This diet is REALLY hard to be on every single day for 3 weeks. I actually have a way I handle small gains – I’ve lost up to 5-7 lbs this way, on my own, without hCG, and also without dieting every day which I think is the biggie.
I found emotionally it was easier for me to stick to the hCG diet when I was truly overweight and very unhappy in my body. When you only have a few excess pounds, you typically aren’t completely miserable, and that can easily make the hCG Diet not feel worth it once you are on it because it just feels too hard.
