Many fad diets, like the Cabbage Diet or the Three Day "Heart" diet, oversimplify the foods you can eat. By concentrating on just a few foods, or by supplying a list of foods you must eat at certain meals, some fad diets make it easy to follow them-- assuming you can tolerate the food.

Fad diets are to the dieter what fast food is to the hungry consumer: a cheap and simple solution. Quick fixes, however, often have consequences. Fad diets are no different. The best way to lose weight is to pace yourself and develop new habits that will allow you to maintain a healthy weight long term.

The Hcg diet involves artificial hormones and in this article states that the diet simply doesn't work. What ends up working is the 500 calorie diet without any exercise. Not exercising is not good for you anyway.

HCG diet side effects are an obvious concern for anyone considering HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), a bodily hormone, as a weight loss option. I'll start with the most important fact, there is no solid evidence at all about any risks whatsoever of the HCG hormone itself to the body, the HCG diet dangers involve the way in which the diet plan is implemented, and these need to be considered seriously!

This article is interesting because not only does it say that its fraudulent but illegal when hcg is sold for weight loss purposes. Injections prescribed by physicians must carry a warning stating that there is no proof of effective weightloss.
