Do not buy this book, it is a sham! It talks about using all kinds of herbs that are not readily available or not available at all. I bought a copy and regretted it; it is sitting here gathering dust.

This is not for everyone, but the information is there if you know how to pull it out and put it together for yourself. He uses his web site as a way to buy the products inculding the HCG Shots, but still gives you other avenues as where to purchase what you need.

It works I have tried it (using homeopathics not shots). The biggest part of all of it is the Detox! Kevin keeps saying it is easy, it is not. With that said the secret to it is keeping is simple.

I can't believe that people are still buying this load of recycled rubbish! Trudeau is a well-known con-man from way back, but maybe after this latest judicial ruling, he won't be so confidant!

-- A federal judge has banned Kevin Trudeau from infomercials in which
he has an interest for three years and ordered him to pay $5,173,000
in profits from his book, "The Weight Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You
to Know About."

The ruling confirms an earlier contempt finding against Trudeau -- the
second time he has been found in contempt of court in the past four
years. In several infomercials, Trudeau claimed that the plan
outlined in the book is easy to do, can be done at home, and
ultimately allows readers to eat whatever they want. However, the
book actually describes a complex plan that requires severe dieting,
daily injections of a prescription drug that consumers cannot easily
get, and lifelong dietary restrictions.

In a 2004 order settling FTC charges that he had falsely claimed that his calcium product could cure cancer and other serious diseases, Trudeau was banned from using infomercials to sell any product, service, or program except for books and and other publications.

Most folks would be better off gently sauteing this book in olive oil, chopped onion, garlic and ground black pepper and eating it -- mainly for its high fibre content. What could be healthier?

The only good advice in this book is basic common sense when it comes to losing weight. From drinking more water, limiting food consumption, to *gasp* exercising and avoiding fast food, Trudeau produces these ideas as if they were his own great epiphany. Indeed, these are the only things to his "weight loss miracle" cocktail that have ever been proven to provide any real results.

He sites an outdated study done abroad, in which people lost weight injecting themselves with something that is "easily obtainable". Yup, along with the needles you'll have to buy yourself, the daily injections you'll have to give yourself, you're reduced to obtaining the liquid you're injecting into your body from less-than-credible people. No doctor will give you the shot, as Trudeau claims they will, as no doctor is foolish enough to inject you with this crap.

Go ahead, take 15 minutes and look up anything about Kevin Trudeau. You'll find nothing positive about his books, and a wealth of information on how much of a crook and liar he is.

And for the record, everyone on amazon giving him a positive review has only written one review: for Trudeau's book. I wonder if those are Trudeau's marketing lackeys...

I've been on the HCG diet for two weeks now and I've lost 12 lbs. I have lost 3 inches off of my waist and I am beginning to look fabulous in my clothes again.

This diet takes real committment and it should change the way you see and eat food for the rest of your life following the diet. For instance, 4 oz of meat/protein is all you should have as a serving at mealtime. And you should be prepared to pretty much cut most fat out of your diet and only use 'carbs' as condiments.

But let me tell you - this diet is REAL, it's accessible, and it WORKS! In 2 weeks, I have lost 12 lbs, my husband has lost 15, and each of his parents has lost about 15 as well. We all feel great, we have energy as long as we stay hydrated, and we give ourselves the shots because they are painless and you can't even really feel it. Follow the rules and be committed and you'll do great!

Trudeau put together a lot of excellent information if you are interested in losing weight and living a healthier life. From websites to books to product suggestions, he has compiled a fount of resources for speeding up your metabolism and curing obesity.

HCG is a fantastic remedy for obesity. It is not for the faint of heart and requires a commitment to want to lose weight forever by changing your metabolism. There is nothing dangerous about it - quite the opposite.

This book has helped me finding products, remedies and ideas for changing my life for the better. If you want to know more about hCG inform yourself from other sources as well.

I am very surprised by all those here in search of a magic bullet. Don't you realize there isn't one! I have read Dr. Simeon's original manuscript and I am currently taking HCG that I received from a licensed physician. IT WORKS! I feel great! I have lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks. I've got 3 weeks to go. I would also recommend that those interested purchase the book titled "HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide" by Pounds and Inches Away, LLC because it's more streamlined than Kevin's book. For me it's not just about weight loss - it's about fat loss! I've lost inches and reshaped my body. Now listen, I found a doctor that prescribes HCG in Aurora, IL - I live about 40 minutes away. I only had to see him twice. Once for a consultation and then for a 2 week follow-up. I know that everyone isn't comfortable with the idea of a self-injection. Trust me...I'd take this over popping pills anytime. It's quick and painless. I took Phentermine years ago which is FDA approved and was prescribed by my primary care physician. The experience is like night and day. I had insomnia, dry mouth, jitters, etc. - it was awful and I loss the wrong type of fat.

Anyway, my HCG doctor was referred by a colonic therapist I found online. Colonics are important too but not absolutely necessary for success. The honest truth is that very few people can actually follow the 50+ suggestions in Phase 1 of Trudeau's book - but that's NOT the point. The point is to make some of the changes so you can live a healthier lifestyle AFTER losing weight on HCG. There are things I will absolutely NOT do since reading this book - like eat anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup or MSG or Trans Fat. I also ensure that I workout daily and I don't eat out much! Shopping at Whole Foods may be more expensive but the cost has been offset by preparing meals at home! One of the greatest benefits is that I'm no longer drinking alcohol and eating sugar - if you want to talk about what's dangerous - I would suggest that you Google "Sugar Dangers".

I mean really...how can anyone claim that a hormone (HCG is a hormone not drug) is dangerous and yet they poison their bodies with growth hormones injected in cows and man-made chemicals in our food and toxic chemicals in our cleaning supplies. Educate yourself! Dr. Simeons graduated Summa cum laude - he's brilliant. This is HIS protocol - not Trudeau's - although I think Trudeau's book is helpful because of the dangers we face today that weren't present when Dr. Simeons found this cure. I could go on and on but some folks just want an easy way out. I came a long way to find this approach - it simply builds on what I already knew - refined, processed foods are bad for you. If it doesn't come from a plant, animal or fish - you're body doesn't need it!

I am really suprised at all the people who claim to have read the book and are disappointed. I may not be a huge fan of Kevin Trudeau himself but the book is valid. He doesn't claim that the HCG shots are his idea -he quotes Dr. Simeon. Is the program hard to follow? Yes, but look at the alternative? People are scared to change their lifestyle, so rather than trying they bash this book.

I have tried many ways to lose weight, and this is the ONLY one that has worked for me. It takes dedication and serious drive, but if you have the passion for fitness, this cure is for you.

Well, I have two thoughts about this book. If you are looking for pure content, throughout, I have to admit in that regard, the book is crap. It pains me to say that too, because I actually like Kevin Tradeau.

Truth be told, his book "Natural Cures They do not Want You to Know About" is very good, meaty, and I learned a lot. This book, is just a rip off and recycling of that book. So I agree with the people that say he is just making money, blah blah blah.

There is one chapter that decribes the HCG Weightloss Protocol, but you do not need to buy the book for that. You can just get the actual weight loss HCG protocol by googling the book on the web "Pounds and Inches" which is the actual doctors manuscript.

Kevin Tradeau gets a lot of flack for what he says, and unfortunately, his sales manship discredits him,

But if you weed out the crap from the good stuff, there is a lot of helpful information, tips and tricks to living a wholistic lifestyle which ultimately results in weightloss forever, after you kick start your weightloss with the HCG protocol.

I would not recommend this book for that though. Living wholistically is not new, and there are other sources, BETTER sources, that explain how your body flushes fat. Like the "Fat Flush Diet", is very good and very detailed and practically talks about the same types of things as Kevin's book, and that book is written by a nurse.

With all types of natural living, (ie raw food eating, organic eating, staying away from processed foods, vegan, vegetarian, low carb, basic diet and nutrition really etc.. all will talk about similar things.

Kevin Tradeau makes it sound like these things are ONE BIG SECRET!! And the government is keeping us from eating organic, and forcing drug ladden food into our mouths. We have choices. We do not have to go to the supermarket and buy TV dinners. Jeez..

We live in a capitalistic society, and most decisions are governed by greed. There is no incentive to put a true weightloss drug on the market that will not keep customers coming back, like all the other diet aids, that not only do not work, but they make you WORSE OFF!!!

A lot of the stuff in the book is common sense, I think, to anyone who eats natural food. Out of all the resources and books I've read on wholistic living, this by far, is the worst book I've ever read with regards to weightloss, nutrition, etc.. Its just poorly written, recycled information from his old book. Its like, he is just riding on the coat tails of his other book, since that book is actually decent and sold a lot. I was expecting the same caliber, but was deeply disappointed with the content, I was like, it THAT IT???. It read like it was just slapped together!

Kevin Tradeau must be getting some type of kick back from the companies that sell HCG, (through a prescription) because when asked for some guidance on the HCG, they all refer to Kevins book, or the Pounds and Inches medical manuscript, which is terribly technical and medical.

But like I said, you have to separate the crap from the good stuff. Is this the obsesity cure? I certainly think so, and no other protocol comes close to HCG. It works, and its permanent!!

I recommend the protocol, I just do not recommend this book. Or rather, I recommend reading the book, I guess, just not buying it. Speed read it so you don't waste too much valuable time.

I have read Kevin Trudeau's first book Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About and this Weight Loss one. He is indeed very controversial but I believe that overall, his information is critically important for a healthier life.

PROS:
The information has been life changing for me. I feel better, am lighter, don't take any meds.

I think he's right about eating organic, minimally processed foods, avoiding fast foods, etc.

I think he's also correct about most of our beauty, skin, hair care products being harmful to us. I have read this information from many other sources besides him. I have done a ton of research and can recommend natural products such as Alba, Jason, Kiss My Face, etc.

CONS:

I don't think that the ultimate solution that he gives for weight loss is reasonably affordable for most people, i.e. colonics and HCG injections. I think some people may be disappointed if they were truly hoping to lose weight by his suggestions for Phase 2.

Some of his suggestions are only reasonable for the wealthy. Colonics every day or every other day for 30 days! Very expensive!

I have not researched how much the medical visits and HCG shots would cost but I'd imagine it would be very expensive as well!

I would consider reading his first book initially, Natural Cures They Don't.... He gets very repetitive about the FDA, the government, and the medical establishment, but I think he's angry and frustrated...probably rightly so. It's worth reading through the redundancy. I think the information is critical and life-changing! Good luck!

Kevin Trudeau knows what he is talking about. This book explains exactly why you crave food and how to stop the cravings. It may seem like a lot of work to get to the point you need to be, but it is worth it. I cleansed my body and was amazed how many of my on going problems disappeared. I am now a truly healthy person.

The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You to Know About by Kevin Trudeau has all the answers. You must purchase and use an injection of super hormones that create a pseudo pregnant state -- and this is why it works.

He guides you through purchasing the product that helps you -- but you cannot deviate from the diet at all. It is worth it. I don't have any to lose, but if I did, I would be on this plan.

It's program will take the weight off, but only the over abundance of fat. Want that cellulite gone -- it will be gone. No more flab because of hanging fat. This takes off the fat. It will not affect your muscles.

Success stories -- my friend has lost 50 pounds -- she was always very hippy with large thighs -- now she is svelte. Her husband lost 30, and is back to his college weight. They both want to dive, and the more fit you are, the safer you are.

I've always been a lot smaller than she was, but she has given me a bunch of clothes, which I really needed. Some of them will only stay up with a belt, but I'm such a casual person that it doesn't bother me.

It is costly because you do have to buy a product -- a hormone product -- and have daily injections.

My friend was never able to get rid of the hips and thighs until this program. It is amazing. I've seen the results and wanted to go on it just to get rid of the cellulite.

With all the negative anit-infomercial
stuff posted here, I thought I would
write apositive review, basically be-
cause I beleive this guy is right on
the money. You don't have to buy any-
thing from, if you can tape his info-
mercials and get the books here cheap-
er on amazon.com! Another good effort
from a dedicated researcher!

One of the other reviews covered it. JUST DON'T JOIN HIS WEBSITE, I made that mistake, supposedly didn't have an account when I went back and am still being charged, they don't respond. This company is just plain stealing from credit cards people use to buy things. I found out there are many people and lawsuits already, just google.

I have read some pretty bad reviews of this book, but it seems like most of them are just completely based on skepticism rather than facts. My doctor actually told me to get this book as part of my research on the hCG diet. She said that he offers some very apprpriate, healthy suggestions for weight loss in conjunction with hCG. I have talked to people who have used the hCG diet successfully. One woman, the nurse at my doctors office, lost 34 lbs in 45 days. Another man, who is another patient of my doctor, lost 60 lbs in 45 days. Actually, in all of the studies I have read about hCG, they repeatedly state that they could find no negative side effects of the hCG, it acutally IMPROVES mood and ability to handle stress when eating a low calorie diet. This is the hormone that pregnant women's uteruses secrete; the homone that pregnancy tests detect. This hormone basically runs pregnant women's metabolism. Are pregnant women at risk of horrible side effects from having this hormone in their bodies? Check out other sources on this diet before you run screaming for the hills. All you have to do is Google hCG. [...]

My doctor has recommended this diet to patients on several occasions, and she has seen an average weight loss of 1 lb/day. But she does recommend having a hormone panel done to make sure that none of your hormones need to be corrected first. I am actually having to have my thyroid hormone corrected before she will let me start this diet.

You don't have to take shots of hCG. You can get it in a pill or in a cream that is absorbed through your skin- you rub it on the insides of your wrists.

Kevin said " yada yada blah blah blah" over and over and over again. Dig deep, skip and dig some more for the answers to your quest grasshopper. Then say "I promise I wont buy debt cures, I'll borrow it".

The premise of this diet is that combining shots of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) with calorie restriction prevents hunger, improves adherence to the diet, results in fat loss from problem areas. It doesn't work. Below is one of many studies that disproves Trudeau's claims. There are legitimate medical uses for HCG, and the effect of this book has been to make it difficult for patients who really need it to get it.

A quick search on Pubmed revealed many studies such as this:

1: S Afr Med J. 1990 Feb 17;77(4):185-9
Human chorionic gonadotrophin and weight loss. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.Bosch B, Venter I, Stewart RI, Bertram SR.
Department of Medical Physiology and Biochemistry, University of Stellenbosch, Parowvallei, CP.

Low-dose human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) combined with a severe diet remains a popular treatment for obesity, despite equivocal evidence of its effectiveness. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the effects of HCG on weight loss were compared with placebo injections. Forty obese women (body mass index greater than 30 kg/m2) were placed on the same diet supplying 5,000 kJ per day and received daily intramuscular injections of saline or HCG, 6 days a week for 6 weeks. A psychological profile, hunger level, body circumferences, a fasting blood sample and food records were obtained at the start and end of the study, while body weight was measured weekly. Subjects receiving HCG injections showed no advantages over those on placebo in respect of any of the variables recorded. Furthermore, weight loss on our diet was similar to that on severely restricted intake. We conclude that there is no rationale for the use of HCG injections in the treatment of obesity.

the diet outline takes medical facilites and money to implement. Out of most people's capabilities.

I did a lot of research on this book before doing the diet. There is A LOT of controversy. Let me tell you that this diet really works. It is costly (probably $800 or so), but it works and you keep it off. It has been a year, and I lost 50 pounds, and over 30 inches (9" in my waste alone)! I am the thinnest and healthiest I have ever been, and can't tell you the last time I have been sick or had a headache. The HCG shots are easy to do, and are not bad for you. In fact, when I was pregnant, I had to give myself HCG shots during the first trimester. Good Luck!

This is the most useless book on the market. The things you need to go on these diets are things you would never ever find or would do to yourself. Don't bother with this book.

I was feeling very bad about my weight and on the TV comes this wonderful sales person. Nice to look at to. So I ordered the book. Once into it I found that this book has nothing I can follow beginning with injections. Ok so it says you don't have to do the injections but then you won't succeed. So then why did I buy it. The book cost me over $30 with shipping. Then I found myself signed up for this news letter that I spend alot time on the phone trying to cancel. There are too many people trying to make a buck on us the over weight people looking for something to work. Save your money and buy a book that will really help. Good luck to you.

Money well spent! Trudeau is a little redundant, but after sifting through this overwhelming amount of information you're going to have a system that works like nothing you've tried before. Forget all the negative reviews and listen to someone who has done this protocol successfully. Get the book and believe in this method; you will succeed!

I jumped at this book too, after all it's cheap and easily done with products you have at home in your cabinets, right ? I wish I would have checked out this guys "PAST" before I made the purchase. When I got the book, I was so excited, read it, then I was dismayed. I sent the 'company' an email requesting a return authorization number (as you only have 14 days to return it). After sending them 6 requests for that number and 13.5 days LATER, I finally got the return number, but it was too late to get my money back. I pitched this book into my fireplace and never regretted burning it, only regretted buying it. And as for those injections ? My weight loss doctor will inject you with them, but you have to follow an extremely strict diet along with those injections. 500 calories per day strict !! One lady lost 38 pounds in 2 weeks. Yikes !!! No thank you. (on a scarier note...my doctor will also prescribe for you PHEN-PHEN or REDUX) I rate Kevin AND my doctor at a minus 10.

What you don't understand, you criticize. Kevin is a brilliant man. He was never convicted of a felony. The program is not unrealistic. Is it better to take some prescription drug that will cause more harm in the long run. It is not required to take all the supplements or do all of the things that he suggests. They are suggestions! I did the program. I did not take all the costly supplements or drink the costly tea. People like to defend their own bad habits. this is about getting healthy. People will say, "I can't do that." Because they don't want to give up the diet sodas or chips or whatever. HCG is not a drug, it is a hormone that is taken in extremely small doses. You inject yourself. The needle is so thin that you don't even feel it. The first time is scary, but after that it is no big deal. There were never any cravings. In 35 days, I lost 30 lbs. Do you realize the health benefits of losing 30 lbs. It is perfectly safe and we have been brainwashed to think that everything has to be a prescription written by a doctor. The pharmaceutical companies are making a fortune on people who are overweight. That is why they try desperately to debunk Kevin. He is a man who is telling the truth and people don't like hearing the truth so they go along with the negative remarks. You don't have to get the hcg from the place that is recommended and you can purchase it for much less elsewhere. I think the man is one of the few out there that definitely can be trusted.

Kevin is insane. I checked this book out at the local library to see what all the hoopla of his infomericals was about. He seems to have the answer for everything these days, health, finances, weight loss. He may have had on high colonic enema too many. He is insane.

What a boring book. He says the same things OVER and OVER again, chapter to chapter. Very badly written. Actually, it reads as though it were transcribed from several of his lectures and infomercials. The secret he reveals to the world includes the facts that you have to refrain from all prescription meds while on the "protocol" (he maintains it's NOT a diet ... yeah, sure), and (get this) take daily injections with a compound normally present in pregnant women. Of course, a woman's body, even if starving, can still produce a healthy baby, because it draws from her store of resources, including body fat. It's also basically a 'set point' approach. Nothing new here, not to mention unnecessarily severe. I think I'll skip this one, folks. Still, I'm sort of glad I read it, if only to confirm for myself what I've heard about this guy.

This is not one of his better books. I appreciate that he fights the system, but this one, to me, is not well written and has an unrealistic approach. I would not recommend it.

I'm halfway through the program now and will do one more round of the hcg. I lost half a pound a day for a total of 15 pounds. The book says most people lose a pound a day and this seems to be accurate for the very obese women and men also. The less you have to lose, the less poundage/day. Since my weight was "stuck" no matter what I did, I was thrilled to find something that works, is safe and is quite easy to do. Now on on the final phase I'm eating pretty much whatever I like and am not gaining.

The detox Phase 1 can be quite expensive so I condensed it down to 6 things and added one additional one he doesn't mention since it cleans all the organs, removes heavy metals and toxins and reduces the cost dramatically. Feel free to email me for the list: detoxexpert@gmail.com. I recently met Kevin at a Health Expo and he's interested to put this in his next edition. We only had a very brief conversation but I must say he sure looks good & healthy & slim!

During the actual hcg phase no detox should be done but we have added the NCD to this with excellent results. As fat is dumped into the bloodstream so are toxins so this makes it 100% safe. The low calories ensure that the liver isn't overburdened. Those who totally skip Phase One will get headachy and sick. I cannot emphasize enough how important this is. The original Dr. Simeons protocol was developed at a time when the world and our bodies were much cleaner and this step wasn't necessary.

Big thanks to Kevin for risking his neck once again to bring us this valuable "cure"!

I had the same reaction when I read this book, "It's unrealistic!" "Where am I going to get HcG?"
But then I spent about a year researching it. It turns out there is a holistic D.O. that does weekly lectures at a local healthfood store and he helps people do this program. It's expensive $1200 for the 40 day program, but it works. I've seen it work now for close to ten people who were really fat and unhealthy. You should see them now. It does work! HcG is not impossible to get. I just ordered 5 amps online through a canadian pharamacy for about $100 and that will last me throughout the entire program. I know it's hard to comprehend a lot of what Kevin Trudeau says, but just because you can't comprehend it does not mean it's not true. This book and program is NOT impossible. Do some reasearch and take your time. Don't simply discredit it because YOU don't think it's doable. My mom did it in January and she's never looked better, not even when she was in high school. It's possible AND it's easy.

I recommend For Today and For The Original Overeaters Anonymous Very Low Carbohydrate Food Plan: Greysheet Recipes. They are beautiful, tried and true. I bought "For the Original OA..." because I'm on the very low carb food plan. It has great recipes. I really like the protein and vegetable recipes. I can never think of enough things to do with vegetables. Now I know what other people are cooking. I'm glad to learn more about phone and in person meetings. I never knew where the term "greysheet" came from. I have wanted to learn more about it for a long time.

Please, God save you if you are gullible enough to buy something by Kevin Trudeau. If the fact that Kevin Trudeau is a convicted felon and has NO professional training or licensure in healthcare is NOT a big red flag for you, then go ahead and buy this book. Otherwise, please exercise some common sense and steer clear of this 21st century snake oil salesman.

This book comes tantalizingly close to getting it right, but it falls short. I was willing to overlook lots of spelling and grammar mistakes, and even the author's flaky paranoia, because he did correctly recognize the hypothalamus as the source of many of our ailments. Unfortunately, instead of coming up with sensible ways to help the hypothalamus heal, he just recommends using a bizarre combination of supplements and injections, all of which sound like they will further damage the hypothalamus. If the author is correct (and he is) that the hypothalamus gets messed up because of artificial substances in our food, then the solution should be simple: eat only fresh, raw organic fruits and vegetables. The author does recommend that, but then he spoils everything by adding back in tons of artificial junk. Oh, and he fails to adequately explain how the hypothalamus works. Bottom line: the book has some good ideas, and it is worth reading (partly for the kooky entertainment value), but don't take any of his advice about injections and supplements. And next time he should have a proofreader so he doesn't seem so illiterate.

I just heard about Kevin Trudeau and I really could care less about his past. All that I am concerned is about is that the F.C.C. does not dispute the claims in his book, on how well his method works. The F.C.C. is suing Kevin Trudeau for saying how it is 'easy' in this book. So yes, I am going to buy this book but not because of the author. I am buying it cause the government is trying it's best to silence him in a very unethical, and immoral, way.

There is a targeted campaign against Kevin Trudeau because he is a whistleblower on the lies that big corporations (especially food & pharma) perpetuate to make billions! Why is it ok for these companies to lie, cheat, steal and kill for money, but Kevin is attacked for telling the truth to make a living? There is something seriously wrong here! I have read the Natural Cures books 1 & 2 and The Weight Loss Cure and I can tell you they have ABSOLUTELY changed my life! I have flown to Argentina to do the Oral hCG method that Kevin mentions at the back of the book, which is run by the worlds most authorative medical practioner on the method and I can tell you that it has been successful beyond my wildest hopes and I will be going back to complete my weight loss, which is no easy feat as I live in S.E. Asia. Those blasting Kevin's recommendations are taking things out of context, he states it is often impossible to do all the recommendations but do as many as you can! Doing one colonic is better than none! Since reading Kevin's books and following just some of his recommendations, I have lost a total of 52 lbs and 10 inches off my waistline, I have never felt more healthy! I was borderline diabetic, suffered from high blood pressure, gout and water retention in my ankles, NO MORE, all is now normal! Thank you Kevin for changing my life for the better! I am living proof that your methods work where big pharma and diet products have failed. Maybe Kevin has a dubious past, so what? It is nothing compared to the big corporations and what they get away with!

The book was very disappointing. The goals in the diet were unrealistic!High Colonic flushes of the large bowel on a daily basis would wash the important chemistries, (salts and minerals) right out of the body. The "secret drugs" are unattainable. I think even a medical doctor would hesitate to prescribe these kinds of drugs. The author repeatedly expounds on "his personal achievements, and the rheteric became rather dull and uninteresting after the first dozen repetitions.

I would not recommend this book to anyone. Better to buy an Adkin's program, The South Beach Diet book or the Fat Resistant Diet book where you don't fool around with high colonic large bowel flushes.

I got his two books hoping he had something that I could really use but there wasn't. His book is a joke. There was one thing that was a help but a person can not afford to get it. Who knows if it would really work if a person could afford that one kind of product he spoke of. He rambles on alot in his two books. To me it was a waste of money & my sister thought so to. I do not recommend any of his books to anyone. He is getting rich at our expense.

For the most part, Trudeau hits the mark with this 'cure.'

I'm a 360-pound man and have always had troubles controlling my appetite and for some reason, when I started the HCG shots, I started noticing immediately that I didn't get the same intense pleasure out of eating. It almost seemed like it was re-centering something in my mind, I can't put my finger on it.

The results I've seen from this diet have been nothing short of amazing. I have lost close to 25 pounds in the first eight days of it. I've lost about a half inch around my neck and about three inches around my waist.

It cost me about $300 to get started on the shots and the needles and other suplements. The needles are thin, almost like acupuncture needles. My doctor is administering the protocal, so I got a prescription for an appetite suppressant for the first few days of the diet and for when I knew I was going into situations where I would be tempted to cheat.

I give a thumbs up to the cure itself. But man, KT has made so much money that he has absolutely no clue how the rest of us live. I'm not doing a colonic. I can't afford to go see a masseuse three times a week. I don't live in Hollywood for Pete's sake.

KT deserves credit for shining the light on this cure and for that, he's done a great service to everyone.

But also keep in mind, one of the oldest tricks in politics is to accuse your opponent of doing what you're doing. KT is accusing everyone in the government and elsewhere of profiteering on and causing other peoples' weight troubles. Keep in mind, KT is making money on this book too. What sells better? A book of just facts that tell you how to get the most out of the diet? Or a book of facts, along with a conspiracy theory or two?

Anyway, it's a useful reference book. It's definitely worth picking up. But man, don't go crazy trying to do all 80 of the things he lists or how many there are. You don't need it. You'll just drive yourself crazy, and broke.

You don't need 1,000 dollars a month to do this diet.

All you need are the injections, will power and to drink a bunch of water. Also, limit the artificial sweeteners, they'll make you retain water and slow your progress.

Good luck!

Trudeau, in his book touts himself as presenting the "answer" for anyone who wants to lose weight. I found his book to be a hodge podge of information gleaned from a variety of texts. The information contained in this book is questionable and Trudeau is NO doctor or scientist. Don't waste your money!

The first time I read this book I had already sworn not to spend one more dime on any weight-loss product ever again, including books, so I took it out of the library. Like most, I read the book and thought OK, so where do you get hcg injections if they're not legal in the USA. Of course if you subscribe to his website (an additional $10 a month) he will tell you. No Thanks!

I recently saw a naturopathic physician who recommended hcg therapy for weight loss. She told me she had several patients who used it and she used it herself with fantastic results. She said the product is exactly what he wrote about in his book. She told me she would support me and told me how to go about getting it. The thing is, he sounds so crazy it's hard to believe anything he writes. He sounds like he needs to be locked up in a mental institution!

I did the diet. It was GREAT. The book was informative, but a lot of whining about the FDA and the government. But it also had a lot of good information.
If you want to loss wait fast and follow the rules. Believe me it WORKS!
But you cannot (read my lips/words) cannot do it half way. You must do what it says and go to a good health care provider to get the injections.

This book outlines a weight loss cure that is unrealistic for any American. The author states that the treatment is banned in the USA. Injections of human growth hormone and colonic enemas in addition to other "dos and don'ts" make this a book I am glad I took out from the library!!

Kevin Trudea is probably the richest con-man in America. While some of the information in the book is good; it is also common sense. Then there is the "hook" that is the "cure": injections of hCG (human chorionic gonadptrophin) which is banned by the FDA for treatment of obestiy. BUT...if you go to Trudeau's website - he will sell you the pills for $150.00 a bottle. That is if you can't afford to go to Germany for 30 days to get the injections.

This book doesn't really tell you anything practical you can use. I agree that we should eat as much organic as possible, but you don't need to read a book to tell you that. The shots described....who know where you can even get them. Don't waste your money on this one!

Gosh it was like fricken reading the infomercial rather than watching. Three quarters of the book is exactly that. Then when finally getting to the main subject, "how to lose the weight" I was so disappointed with it. After doing some research and going to the doctor the "cure" he speaks of is not as easily assessable to get. What a bummer!!! He does though, give advise on some good products to use. The information he gives on exercise and dieting don't seem to be new.

This guy has some good ideas but goes pretty far out there in life for a cure. Getting shots for weight loss is not exactly what I had in mind. I am going to try some of the things in the book that are realistic like getting a shower filter but shots, I don't think so. Yes every one is entitled to their ideas and opinion and Kudos for him for putting them out there but out there in my opinion is where this book is.

If you know anything about natural health you know what Kevin is saying in the book is true. We're being pushed to become fat so corporate system can make more money. Kevin makes the program a bit more difficult than it has to be, but if you have time and want to go gung ho everything he recommends is very healthy. I'm modifing somewhat just to fit into my busy schedule of having 3 little kids and staying home with them. It's great information, and what he says is so true--truth will try to be debunked. These ignorant people that say you have to go to Germany or other nonsense don't know what they are talking about. I'm getting my HCG from Florida. None of these ignorant folks leaving a 1 star have even tried it or read the whole book--a lot of them have not even read any of the book! Why trust losers like that? Kevin has been in jail--for trying to bring truth to folks. This weight loss cure is working for thousands of people, no one who has done it is complaining--we're all shouting for joy! Thanks Kevin for being brave enough to put yourself on the line to help out those folks who really want to help themselves.

Seriously, don't bother with any of Kevin Trudeau's books, they are a total rip-off. He says he has the answers to "whatever"..however the only thing his expensive books do, is refer you to something that ALWAYS cost's you more money. THIS GUY IS A TOTAL FARCE....A MAJOR RIP-OFF...SAVE YOUR MONEY.

I am sure if there were easy access to the injections required to lose the weight, this would be a great program. unfortunately, you have to find a Dr. willing to work with you and when you are doing something nontraditional that is not so easy. If you were wealthy enough to go to Europe to go thru the program prescribed, why would you buy the book?
