I have read about the hcg diet, and read much of Kevin Trudeau's book "Weight loss cures they don't want you to know about", and in the material I did see that the hcg injection is helpful with hypothyroidism in regards to weight loss.  I got my product at a reasonable price, premixed in syringes, and a diet plan.  My email address is ***@**** if you would like the information.  Hope this helps

I have Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism and was having problems losing weight on 1000 calorie a day diet.  I was referred to the HCG Weight Loss by my family doctor and decided I would give it a try.  After one month on the HCG shots, strictly following the 500 calorie a day diet, and exercise program - I GAINED WEIGHT (10 pounds).  I immediately stopped the diet after getting reprimanded by my doctor (who referred me to HCG, mind you) for gaining weight on HCG.  (My current diet plan without HCG is only 750  calories a day, plenty of water, low salt and carb intake, 30 – 45 minutes of exercise a day -5 days a week).  
A couple weeks later, I had an appointment with my Endocronologist who informed me that HCG does not help those with Hypothyroidism and can actually make it worse.  There is no actual proof   the HCG hormone actually does anything to lose the weight – it is the 500 calorie a day diet that makes the person lose weight and as long as they stay at that level they will keep the weight off.  That amount of calories is actually less than Prisoners of War receive while held captive.   He is one of thousands of physicians who are against HCG and the misconceptions that surround it.  We are now on a path to try and help me lose the weight, as I have continued to gain since the HCG at an even faster rate than ever before.   I STRONGLY recommend that those with Hypothyroidism as well as those who don’t stay clear of the HCG diet at all costs.  It isn’t worth the health risks.
