 A brand new me! September 18, 2008
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am very surprised by all those here in search of a magic bullet. Don't you realize there isn't one! I have read Dr. Simeon's original manuscript and I am currently taking HCG that I received from a licensed physician. IT WORKS! I feel great! I have lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks. I've got 3 weeks to go. I would also recommend that those interested purchase the book titled "HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide" by Pounds and Inches Away, LLC because it's more streamlined than Kevin's book. For me it's not just about weight loss - it's about fat loss! I've lost inches and reshaped my body. Now listen, I found a doctor that prescribes HCG in Aurora, IL - I live about 40 minutes away. I only had to see him twice. Once for a consultation and then for a 2 week follow-up. I know that everyone isn't comfortable with the idea of a self-injection. Trust me...I'd take this over popping pills anytime. It's quick and painless. I took Phentermine years ago which is FDA approved and was prescribed by my primary care physician. The experience is like night and day. I had insomnia, dry mouth, jitters, etc. - it was awful and I loss the wrong type of fat.
Anyway, my HCG doctor was referred by a colonic therapist I found online. Colonics are important too but not absolutely necessary for success. The honest truth is that very few people can actually follow the 50+ suggestions in Phase 1 of Trudeau's book - but that's NOT the point. The point is to make some of the changes so you can live a healthier lifestyle AFTER losing weight on HCG. There are things I will absolutely NOT do since reading this book - like eat anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup or MSG or Trans Fat. I also ensure that I workout daily and I don't eat out much! Shopping at Whole Foods may be more expensive but the cost has been offset by preparing meals at home! One of the greatest benefits is that I'm no longer drinking alcohol and eating sugar - if you want to talk about what's dangerous - I would suggest that you Google "Sugar Dangers".
I mean really...how can anyone claim that a hormone (HCG is a hormone not drug) is dangerous and yet they poison their bodies with growth hormones injected in cows and man-made chemicals in our food and toxic chemicals in our cleaning supplies. Educate yourself! Dr. Simeons graduated Summa cum laude - he's brilliant. This is HIS protocol - not Trudeau's - although I think Trudeau's book is helpful because of the dangers we face today that weren't present when Dr. Simeons found this cure. I could go on and on but some folks just want an easy way out. I came a long way to find this approach - it simply builds on what I already knew - refined, processed foods are bad for you. If it doesn't come from a plant, animal or fish - you're body doesn't need it!
Great Source Book September 18, 2008

Trudeau put together a lot of excellent information if you are interested in losing weight and living a healthier life. From websites to books to product suggestions, he has compiled a fount of resources for speeding up your metabolism and curing obesity.
HCG is a fantastic remedy for obesity. It is not for the faint of heart and requires a commitment to want to lose weight forever by changing your metabolism. There is nothing dangerous about it - quite the opposite.
This book has helped me finding products, remedies and ideas for changing my life for the better. If you want to know more about hCG inform yourself from other sources as well.

My husband and I bought this at a library sale, and oh man, am I glad I only blew $2 on this, which is about what it is worth in entertainment value.
In case you are wondering what you are missing, here is my own weightloss cure, inspired by the examples in this book:
Weightloss omelette
Coat the bottom of a pan with non-stick cooking spray, and add a cup of frozen stir-fry vegatables. Cook on the stove at medium heat. Seperate six organic eggs, and add the whites and two of the yolks. (You can use the other four yolks as a pre-shampoo that works miracles on dry hair.) Contintue to cook over medium heat, adding seasalt, freshly ground pepper, and a pinch of bald eagle brains. Eat nothing else for six months.
Please note that bald eagle brain is very rare in the states and is in fact illegal, but it can be bought quite easily in parts of Asia. You can sneak it through customs if you transport it in a bottle marked "Talcum Powder" (Just don't let any of the dogs sniff it. If you hear barking, run like the dickens and hope they don't shoot you.) Bald eagle brains only hold their potency for five weeks, so you may want to get multiple passports so that TSA doesn't mistake you for a sex tourist.
If you absolutely can not get bald eagle brain, you will still lose weight initially, but a diet of nothing but eggs and veggies will probably make you so crazy that you will inevitable binge on Ben & Jerry's gain more weight than you lost, or else you'll murder one of your loved ones. So please move heaven and earth to get some, for goodness sake. In a pinch you can use powdered unicorn horn, but it is not as effective.
Don't bother writing to your congressman asking him to legalize bald eagle brain. He's part of the vast conspiracy to keep you fat. The government, the mafia, the church: they're all in on it! Everyone is fat, and through no fault of their own! That one cousin that you hate because she is so skinny? She's is really a cyborg.
 I've lost 8lbs in 5 days!! I work in Medicine and this is it!! September 5, 2008

WOW!! Talk about a lot of negative feedback on a book, this one is it!! I just wanted to give my 2 sense because I think that people looking at purchasing this book should know the facts.
1. Yes some of Kevin's idea's about avoiding a/c and microwaves is over the top.
2. Yes in this day in age eating ALL organic food is VERY difficult and VERY expensive (trust me I've tried).
HOWEVER, this diet along with the HCG supplement works! It works really, really well. I know, I know I've tried everything under the sun too. I've lost 8lbs in 5 days and I feel FABULOUS!! I have so much energy and I am sleeping good, it's like a whole new me!
You can order the injectable or SL (Sublingual - under the tongue) HCG online if you wish to follow the protocol without spending a ton of $$ seeing a physician. However, make sure you follow the diet in the book to a T!
Now as far as the diet goes, yes I felt the same way about 500 calories and yes the 1st 2 days were difficult, but now I feel awesome!! I did go through a local Dr for my initial HCG, but will order online in the future. I work in Cardiology and the Drs their are utilizing me as their Guinie Pig.
GOOD LUCK and HAPPY READING!!
A totally valid weight loss techniwue September 4, 2008

I'm very surprised by the bad reviews of this book. Regardless of what anyone might think about Mr. Trudeau personally, he's doing us an incredible favor by getting the word out about the HCG diet. My husband and I are on it, and three of our friends have finished it. We've all had amazing results. I haven't felt this good in...a long time! It is NOT true that you need to go to Europe for the supplies, you can get them on the Internet or through one of the many doctors who support this protocol. It is, of course, cheaper through the Internet--our total out of pocket cost has been around $150 for the two of us. You'll save a ton of money on food as well, since you won't be going out for meals for 40 days!
As with any idea, an intelligent reader will take the information in this book and do some additional research to validate it for themselves. I've scoured the Internet and found only positive reviews from people who have actually done the diet. Interestingly, the only group trying to stop it is the government. The proof is in the pudding, people.
