Diet Doc Weight Loss Demystifies the Legal Questions On The HCG Diet In a Newly Published Article on HCGtreatments.com
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2012
Many companies were offering, or are offering, HCG drops for weight loss. According to the Food and Drug Administration's announcement in December 2011, HCG drops do not contain HCG and marketing HCG drops is illegal. The FDA claimed that it's illegal to falsify marketing claims that a prescription drug is included in an over-the-counter product. The FDA claims prescription hCG cannot be put in an over-the-counter product. By doing so, it would be like adding Vicodin to Bayer aspirin.
There are dieting claims that people lose weight while using the HCG drops. This is only because they reduced their calories to a dangerously low 500 per day and re-framed from anything artificial claims Julie Wright, president of Diet Doc Weight Loss. Consuming 500 calories per day is dangerous as this is considered a starvation diet claims Wright.
Prescription hCG requires a doctor prescription from a doctor. Non-prescription hCG can be bought and sold by anyone. There are no similarities between the two besides the word “HCG”.
The Food and Drug Administration considers the over-the-counter, non-prescription hCG drops as ineffective because no prescription medication is inside the HCG drops, but even if there were HCG inside, HCG is not approved by the FDA for weight loss. Also, no clinical studies have been conducted on HCG and the effectiveness on weight loss.
Doctors offering the outdated, 1950 Dr. Simeon's HCG diet protocol are asking patients to consume a dangerous 500 calories per day. This is dangerous, claims Wright. The reason doctors use this old protocol is that they haven't taken time to understand that it isn't necessary to consume only 500 calories, actually the reverse is true. People who consume an adequate amount of lean protein, unlimited low glycemic vegetables and fruit while drinking at least 60 ounces of water with mild exercise have the ability to lose weight at a rapid, safe pace, explains Wright. Diet Doc takes it much further than that by personalizing a weight loss program specifically for each person based on their health history, gender, age and lifestyle preferences claims Wright. By personalizing a diet in this fashion, the weight flies off and is kept off. Diet Doc is the only medical diet which offers a money-back guarantee claims Wright.
*These weight reduction treatments include oral hCG or an injection of hCG–a drug, which has not been approved by the food and drug administration as safe and effective in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There is no substantial evidence that hCG 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-restrictive diets. Results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. Medical supervision and compliance with our program is required.
