I did the HCG diet under Dr. Bird’s supervision back in November-December of 2009. I was very apprehensive about giving myself shots but somehow got by that and found it was easy and virtually painless. I hoped to lose 20 pounds but lost 40 and feel great.  This diet is the best kept secret, and I tell everyone I know that has an interest in losing weight. Dr. Bird is with you all the way through and like he said, if you follow the program it is 100% effective. The cost is minimal because it works.  Anybody can do this for 30 days, your success makes it worth while.
