I Did a Crazy Fad Diet From the Internet

Those Internet ads that say you can ?lose a pound a day with one simple trick?? The hCG diet is one that you?ll find when you click on those. And there is a trick to succeeding on the diet: Don?t follow the plans on the Internet, which usually involve ordering homeopathic drops. The FDA considers the drops to be ?fraudulent and illegal,? though the agency rarely does anything about it. Instead, find a doctor to prescribe injections. They are considered off-label use for weight loss, but when I found out that my OB-GYN?the same woman who once changed her vacation plans to deliver one of my kids?was offering the diet through her practice, I figured it was safe enough to consider. I attended an information session, learned the pros and the cons, and thought about it. And then I mentally deducted all the money from my imaginary iPad fund (It cost me $450, which isn?t cheap, but then, neither is Nutrisystem), and went for it.
