Hi, i can't find a dr. here in dickinson nd that uses the hcg diet. any ideas of how i can get started?

Bad idea: The reason you're having such a tough time finding a doctor is that the hCG diet is not a great idea. It is a severe calorie restricted diet. You may initially lose some weight quickly, but the effect will not last. Studies of the diet have shown no value in managing obesity, and it carries significant potential for side effects, including blood clots, headaches, and hair thinning, among others.
