my epic cycling journey

for health, fun, and charity

How does anyone with an IQ over 100 still fall for these stupid fad diets? My co-worker is doing the ‘HCG diet’ which is a crash diet of 500 calories a day (no carbs) and Homeopathic HCG drops, which only have ‘trace’ amount if HCG or even none - just the ‘memory’ in the dilution.

I don’t know about real HCG injections, but this diluted crap with severe caloric restrictions pisses me off. I want to shake my co-worker and tell her she’s an idiot, but instead I’m ignoring the useless drops and telling her to be careful, and watch out for dizziness & fatigue.

(For years I thought homeopathy referred to holistic remedies or natural home remedies. Boy, was I wrong! When I learned what it really was I was quite surprised. What a load of crap! It’s stuff like this that gives the rest of alternative treatments a bad name).
