I have recently became aware of a program that uses Hcg injections and a specific diet protocol out lined by a Dr. Simeons from Italy, to loose about 1-2 pounds a day. I was wondering if anyone else has heard of these and if they have worked, are there any side effects ect. The program was outlined in kevin trudeau's book the weight loss cure. I have a band but I am still struggling to get to my goal weight and thought that this may just do the trick.
