Simeons' Diet?: Hcg diet, its "full of c**p" - to use a nonmedical phrase. It's based on using HCG (which doesn't work in the first place), but you can't get HCG expect by prescription and then it's only given by injection. By law, the drops can't contain any hcg, so it's like adding expensive water to your meals. All the so-called HCG diets use a very low calorie intake to get you to lose weight, not due to hcg.

None: You need to see a physician to be administered the HCG injections, the only real and effective way to do the HCG diet. http://www.prlog.org/12249227-hcg-diet-offered-in-new-jersey.html.

Placebo: The "HCG drops" are a pricey placebo. You pay maybe $100 and take them with a 500 calorie / day diet. You're going to lose weight on the diet. Why not head down to a fitness center, make friends with a few of the people there, work hard -- if they see you doing that, they'll welcome you -- and you have a new lifestyle, a new body, and some great times? Best wishes.
