Not evidence-based: This is a severely calorie-restricted diet (which is why it works) along with a pricey placebo. Be careful; the risks of these are known & the likelihood of permanent weight loss small. You're a man in your twenties; the way to look and feel great will be aerobic fitness, which comes naturally if you work on making friends with folks who are already exercising and fit.

No; save your money: The HCG diet has a person eating 500 calories a day for more than a month. That's just one big slice of pizza a day. A 4-month old baby eats 500 calories a day. Anybody on 500 calories a day is on a starvation diet and will lose weight. It doesn't sound safe. Extremely low calorie diets don't work because the weight comes back when one starts eating again. Long-term lifestyle changes are needed.
