64 – HCG diet facts and fictions

(duration 29:18) In this show we discuss the nature of the HCG diet, why it’s a fad and what the scientific research says. Rather than going the quick-fix route, which in this case entails eating only 500 calories a day, go for what’s really healthy for you in the long term. You can’t go wrong with Paleo (no grains, legumes, and dairy), but any significant reduction in carb consumption (and corresponding increase in fat consumption) will have positive effects on fat loss and your blood readings. What’s beneficial for you (not excess carbs) should be in line with your long term values of health, vitality, and longevity.
