I was extremely skeptical of this diet until my reproductive endocrinologist suggested I do it since nothing else had worked to allow me to ovulate in 9 years. I started ovulating immediately after doing the 40 days of Phase 2 and got pregnant within 2 months! Not to mention I lost tons of weight too! This diet also allowed me to lose the baby weight.

Hi I like your recipe,I don't know where to find a good hcg drop anymore. Do you know of one that really works. Thanks. Leah

Most have caught on how much money is to be made. HCG weight loss clinics have popped up everywhere. They have Doctors on staff who will prescribe the shots. The homeopathic drops are now impossible to find as the FDA got involved and banned them. They do not have real HCG in them. I guess I will stand on a street corner and buy them illegally! Anything that works the FDA bans.
