SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

If you have a medical condition that warrants it, please consult a medical professional before beginning this diet.

There are people with diabetes, thyroid problems, etc. who have followed this diet and lost weight successfully but we must stress that it’s important to make sure that it is safe for you to restrict your caloric intake as much as is indicated in this diet. You may need to make some adjustments (such as increasing calories to, say, 800 per day). We are not physicians and cannot make any recommendations for you.

Some doctors will not agree with our position that this diet is safe, or will not agree with our position that you can lose significant amounts of weight very quickly by following this protocol. It is up to you and your doctor to decide what is best for your health. You may want to read Dr. Simeons’ full protocol and provide your doctor with a copy of it or a web link to it so that you can both make an informed decision.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. The products and information on this site are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Since 1975, the FDA has required labeling and advertising of hCG to state: hCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it  causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.
