Dr. Raul Rodriguez of Dallas and Houston Texas discusses the myths and facts of hCG diets: A 500 calories a day diet is detrimental to your health, hCG diet is contrary to medical advice, not enough protein on a low calorie hCG diet, the low calorie hCG diet is a muscle wasting diet, you don’t eat enough fiber on the hCG diet, not eating a good breakfast is just not healthy, the hCG diet is just another “fad” diet that won’t work long term, The medical establishment is against using hCG diet, you should not exercise while on the hCG diet, I’ve tried all of the diet plans and nothing works for me.
