YNP 343: The Science Behind the HCG Diet and How It Works


Listen Later

It is the new year, which means millions of people will step into January desperate to lose weight, and many others will be right there ready to prey on those individuals and sell them any weight loss gimmick possible. 

Today on the show we are going to talk about the HCG diet. I want to discuss this particular diet, because unlike other diets, this one is almost exclusively promoted and sold by MDs. 

For that reason, it seems like people place their trust in the diet, because most people trust their doctors. 

Tune in to learn more about why this practice needs to stop and why any MD who prescribes and promotes this diet as an effective weight loss strategy should have their license taken away.
