Bad Plan: The HCG diet is a strict one, hard to follow, and short-term -- all very unrealistic goals for long-term weight loss maintenance. Nobody can survive in a healthy way on 500 calories a day (which is what the diet calls for). The idea of taking breaks from the HCG "mobilizing the energy stored in your own body fat" translates into temporary weight loss that comes back. Instead, plan to lose slowly.

Lose weight fast: Well, the goal should be to lose weight in a healthy way. Losing weight rapidly with a diet or pill is a setup for failure, or the yo-yo effect (when you stop the diet you regain the weight back plus more). Eat healthy (cutting back on carbs and sugar) and do cardiovascular exercise (not walking but running, cycling, swimming, elliptical, zumba, etc). You can still lose weight quickly doing this.

Won't work: Drops are worthless. You need a qualified physician to administer correctly the injection HCG and the original 500 calorie diet with strict adherence. The diet only works on abnormal fat and once you rid yourself of abnormal fat you will not lose any more weight on the HCG diet.
