My father has orderd the hCG pills and I had never heard of them up until now. I read the dangers of the hCG injections but am having trouble finding dangers or side effects of the pill. Does anyone have any experience with this particular diet? I am worried about him.

I don't know anything about pills, maybe it is a new thing. We actually don't allow the discussion of HCG diets here at 3FC because we do think it is dangerous. They encourage very low calorie eating (500 calories/day) and using a prescription medication for something than its prescribed use.

OOPss okay, I had just never heard of it and it does not sound safe at all. i won't talk about it anymore. I did think it strange that I could not find a link on this site about it. THanks Nelli!!
