I am 48 years old, was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 3 years ago and had a hysterectomy about 6 years ago. The last few years, it didn't seem to matter how many calories I counted or how much time I spent exercising, I couldn't lose the 10 lbs that seemed to be hanging on for dear life. Dr. Jeffrey T. Winton suggested that I try the hCG diet. I had heard about it but didn't really know anyone who endorsed it or who had tried it. Dr. Winton gave me many handouts detailing the diet plan, how it works, the time frame, food lists, and even many recipes. We decided I would do the 26 day plan. It was amazing! I lost 13 lbs and several inches in my waist, stomach and hips. I was never hungry and had no desire to snack while I was on the 500 calorie part of the diet. Dr. Winton kept in very close contact with me, checking on me throughout the 26 days. read more
