As a safeguard against recurring famines, our ancestors <a href="/wiki/Evolution" title="Evolution">evolved</a> a mechanism in which fat cells would store as much as they can to ensure a "safety cushion" when the times of plenty end and famine rolls in. Due to this mechanism, crash diets like this <b>don't work</b>. It's very dangerous and any weight lost is quickly regained, nearly completely by fat cells. Further, attempts to survive on a 500 kcal/day diet run a substantial risk of accruing major <a href="/wiki/Vitamin" class="mw-redirect" title="Vitamin">vitamin</a> and mineral deficiencies, as it's nearly impossible to get full trace nutrition on such a restricted diet. (The people who push this garbage probably won't trust <a href="/wiki/Big_Pharma" title="Big Pharma">Big Pharma</a> with a multivitamin.) Finally, hCG dieting carries with it all the associated risks of constant intravenous injections, like being a <a href="/wiki/Drug" title="Drug">heroin</a> addict without all the "<a href="/wiki/Fun" class="mw-redirect" title="Fun">fun</a>". One purveyor of this <a href="/wiki/Bullshit" title="Bullshit">bullshit</a> was an endocrinologist by the name of Albert T. W. Simeons. </p><p>Simeons was studying malnourished pregnant <a href="/wiki/Woman" class="mw-redirect" title="Woman">women</a> in <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a> and <a href="/wiki/Obesity" title="Obesity">overweight</a> males with pituitary problems, both treated with low amounts of hCG. He then <a href="/wiki/PIDOOMA" title="PIDOOMA">claimed</a> that both lost fat rather than lean tissue. He claimed this was because of some sort of hypothalamic programming to get extra reserves to the <a href="/wiki/Fetus" class="mw-redirect" title="Fetus">fetus</a>. He published this in a book called <i>Pounds and Inches</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup> and whenever somebody was obese, he would recommend hCG and a <a href="/wiki/Low_carb" class="mw-redirect" title="Low carb">low carb</a>, low-calorie diet. Once Simeons died, the concept was fished out of the toilet by woo-<i>meister</i> <a href="/wiki/Kevin_Trudeau" title="Kevin Trudeau">Kevin Trudeau</a>. Although the Journal of the American Medical Association, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and other studies have shown hCG is not effective for weight loss,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a></sup> the whole thing became more deeply engrained in the <a href="/wiki/Alternative_medicine" title="Alternative medicine">pseudo-medicinal</a> circle. </p><p>A shortage of hCG for wooey purposes led to more woo with the addition of <a href="/wiki/Homeopathy" title="Homeopathy">homeopathy</a> into the mix for this pseudo-obesity cure.

At least in the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>, hCG for weight loss ended with the <a href="/wiki/FDA" class="mw-redirect" title="FDA">FDA</a>'s decree that such practices were fraudulent and ineffacious.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a></sup> If only they'll do it for all <a href="/wiki/Alternative_medicine" title="Alternative medicine">alternative medicine</a>. </p><p>The end of homeopathic hCG has led to the rise of liquid <a href="/wiki/Food_supplements" class="mw-redirect" title="Food supplements">food supplements</a> sold to be taken while following Simeons' 500 kcal/day diet, sold under names such as Activ8 X Drops, Liquid Diet Drops and Secret Diet Drops (the latter sold by an acolyte of Kevin Trudeau).<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a></sup> These are a mixture of non-essential <a href="/wiki/Amino_acid" title="Amino acid">amino acids</a> and plant extracts, many of them linked to single studies suggesting they <i>may</i> have an effect on weight loss, <i>if</i> taken in vastly larger doses (i.e., possibly toxic) than in the supplements.
