Becky - there are many ways to do the protocol - 500 calories is one but you can do more. It is experimental for sure, but I am interested in trying it for myself with an open mind. I have a very specific fatty area (middle section post 2 babies) that simply won't go away without drastic measures, lol, and so the HCG. If it works, great! I live a very low carb lifestyle so can maintain. If it doesn't work - I will try something else. No biggie.

I did find a source for the injectable HCG so will report back in a few months to share how it worked out for me.
