"Designed to Fail." HCGDietDallas.us Challenges Vailidity of Clinical Trials

A fad diet of the 1970’s is back, and the offer to lose up to 2 lbs of weight per day is very tempting. HCGDietDallas.us has taken it upon itself to challenge those clinical studies that put the nail in the coffin of the hCG weight loss diet so long ago.

A fad diet of the 1970’s is back! Individuals are injecting hCG into their bodies with hopes of losing 0.4 to 2 lbs of fat per day. The downfall of the hCG weight loss diet in the 1970’s were several double blind clinical studies which claimed hCG was safe, but not effective as a means of weight loss.

HCG diet clinic owner Greg Johnson has taken it upon himself to challenge these clinical studies. Starting with the most quoted clinical study “Human chorionic gonadotrophin and weight loss. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.”, he has broken down and analyzed why negative hCG clinical studies were designed to show hCG is ineffective for weight loss.

“I have yet to find one clinical study which correctly followed the hCG protocol that did not reproduce successful weight loss on hCG.” Mr. Johnson further adds, “It makes you wonder why money was spent to conduct an hCG clinical trial that purposely deviated so far from the hCG protocol.”

One of the key elements of the hCG diet protocol is strictly adhering to a very low calorie diet that includes specific portions and types of proteins and carbohydrates. This key element is the most common deviation from the protocol during the clinical studies. Most of these erroneous clinical trials even go so far as to double the daily caloric consumption and completely ignore macronutrient requirements.

Mr. Johnson has also noticed deviations when it comes to the frequency and quantity of the hCG injections in the clinical studies. According to the original hCG protocol it takes up to three consecutive days of hCG injections for hCG to fully saturate the human body, but only 24hrs to be metabolized. Therefore, it is critical to receive consistent daily injections preferably at the same time every day. Clinical studies requiring only six hCG injections per week are doomed to fail.

The recent popularity of the hCG weight loss diet has led to an increase in media attention. The most common reason for success using hCG is attributed to the low calories consumed on the diet. That being said, Mr. Johnson admits to seeing patients who lost massive amounts of body fat while actually gaining muscle on the hCG program. He argues that this would not be possible on a similar low calorie diet without using hCG.
