I noticed your HCG badge. Are you referencing that crazy diet? One of my friends who lives out of state just did that. I thought she was totally off her rocker, does not sound healthy at all! Everything she told me she had to do was really scary to me!
She did drop some weight though and got KU super quick when she started trying shortly after. It took her a year and a half for her first child and it was the first month this time around. Can't help but wonder if that had anything to do with it?
Re: *loki
Yes! People come by H&F all the time and ask if its something anyone has tried. It is a terrible diet, you only eat 500 calories a day! Are you crazy!
I'm glad your friend got KU so quickly. Likely the lost weight helped with fertility, but often times the second kid is easier to get KU with than the first. I hope your friend didn't do any permanant damage. I was on a 'diet' in college and ate about that much. My metabolism never recovered, which is part of why I'm so heavy now and have issues losing weight.
(the 'diet' was being so sick I could not feed myself for 3 months... I don't recommend it).

That's the best article I've round to explain it. It's bad.

Someone was telling me about that "diet" the other day - totally insane. I don't understand how someone could think "Hmm...that sounds like a great diet to me."
I'm tracking my calorie intake and so far I've had a yogurt and 2 cookies - I've already had 283 calories. Do people not realize how LITTLE you would be eating on a 500 calorie diet?!
