Summary: In this episode of The Dr. Rob Show, we discuss the validity and long-term efficacy of the HCG Diet. This new diet craze was introduced to the marketplace a few years ago by Kevin Trudeau in his book, "The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You to Know About." Trudeau’s book contained a protocol of Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, which involves a 500 calorie per day diet and daily injections of HCG. The very low calorie diet (VLCD) causes the body to go into a state of ketosis, which is when the body burns ketone bodies instead of glucose as a fuel source. The state of ketosis, along with the administration of the HCG hormone produces rapid weight loss in a relatively short period of time.
