Go to the alternative forum on this website...Go to "forums" and hit Wt. loss and go to the other forum. You will find tons of info (and controversy) regarding using this protocol. I actually think it is all very interesting. There are several books/websites/protocols out there that involve using this hormone. And, Yahoo has a HUGE website on this subject.
The subject, in fact, is so big, that this is the main reason this forum split up about half a year ago...one for wt. loss and one for "alternatives."
Good luck to you.

He talks about how the world is out to only make money off of us being and staying fat
He discovered a Dr. that discovered this "cure".
My god....I will never be able to stay on this protocol PLUS I won't and can't afford it. Then you HAVE to have daily injections of hcg....hmmmm
I agree if this was a medical breakthrough the media would be all over it, so would every news show on the planet and every smut mag everybody would know about it.
You must make exercise a part of your daily routine, it's that simple. I was glad I found this website as I almost got snookered into buying Trudeau's book. Thanks for the change to inform myself about this subjest matter. Incorportate a making good food choices strategy into your life and don't get hooked on these deceptive claims of weight loss with no exercise, it's a bunch of crock!!!!
claiming the cure to be...I can't believe it is SIMPLE as he claims on the promos.

It's an interesting study.
After receiving the book and reading the first 3-4 chapters, I realized I didn't need the HCG shots. In fact, I only decided to only try going organic. Due to the cost of going organic, I would buy a few organic foods every week until I was as organic as I could be.
In my first month I lost about 10 lbs. The hardest part was quitting the coffee. I had a horrible headache for the first 2 days and I had no idea it was the coffee. I thought it was due to the food. I only found out weeks later that I was addicted to coffee and that was the reason for the headaches. Anyway, my breakfast would consist of organic brown eggs (Costco), Niman's uncured bacon (Trader Joe's) toasted organic wheat bread (Trader Joe's), organic butter (Trader Joe's), organic french roast coffee (Trader Joe's), organic cane sugar (Trader Joe's), organic half and half (Trader Joe's). I would sometimes scramble my eggs with organic onions and organic cheese for a change of pace along with a glass of organic OJ, but I almost always just fried my eggs in organic butter and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. I would also add an organic banana if I was still hungry, but that was rare.
For lunch, I ate a salad which was almost completely organic (grape tomatoes, hot house cucumbers ( from Trader Joe's), organic green onions, organic celery, and organic salad dressing ( all usually bought at Von's on sale). I would either have a glass of fuji water or a glass of organic low fat milk (2% from Trader Joe's). I would also eat an organic fuji apple (bought wherever they were on sale) religiously with every lunch.
I would vary my dinners with organic chicken (Trader Joe's or Costco), organic ground Angus beef or lean beef (Costco or Trader Joe's), salmon, swordfish, halibut (wherever on sale and not farmed), steamed organic vegetables (corn, beans, broccoli, asparagus, potatoes, etc wherever they were on sale), organic wheat bread, organic milk, or organic tea with organic raw cane sugar
The dishes made for dinner would be either an asian chicken salad, spaghetti with meat sauce, Angus patties with gravy (made from organic wheat flour and organic butter), fish would almost always be BBQ'd and seasoned with organic lemon, organic salt and pepper, and sometimes marinated in an organic soy sauce with the organic lemon juice and organic or local grown honey. I would also have an organic fuji apple religiously after dinner.
Anyway, after eating these meals for two months I lost around 20 lbs. I only stayed on this phase until I reached 155 lbs. (another 2 1/2 weeks) which was my goal and from there I was able to eat a few foods which were not organic. I also forgot to mention that I pretty much never ate at a fast food restaurant during the entire 2 1/2 to 3 month period. I still haven't eaten at a Carl's Jr. or McDonald's which I used to frequent 2-3 times a week. I think I've come to realize that fast food is about as bad for your body as it gets and that is why I will rarely ever give it a thought.
For those of you who say it is too expensive, that is another excuse. That was my initial response when I first started reading it and went shopping for the 1st time, but I finally sucked it up and said I'll buy what is on sale and what I need to have to get started. It exploded from there. I saw immediate results and all of my family and co-workers can attest to my weight loss and my conviction to sticking with it until I hit my goal.
In fact, I had to loan my book out to so many people after hitting my goal within 90 days. Since then, every person has lost weight and most of them didn't need to lose more than 20-30 lbs.
My recommendation is for everyone to try the "Weight Loss Protocol". You can't bad-mouth it if you haven't tried it. You also don't need to be obese to try it.
Good luck,
