The Weight Loss Cure "they" Don't Want You to Know About by Kevin Trudeau (2007, Hardcover)

This book is all it promises to be. I am a medical professional who has struggled with weight my entire life. I read this book cover to cover, researched it thoroughly for 3 weeks to make sure it was safe. The people who are doing this diet are losing enormous amounts of weight without hunger or loss of energy. As for it being complicated and expensive...It costs less than many potions and pills out there, packaged diet food companies marketing their diet plans, gym memberships, gastric bypass, the list goes on. The Hcg is not difficult to get nor expensive and there are support groups and clinics all over that will mail you your supplies and provide emotional support. Hcg is a natural substance found in high levels in pregnant women so unless being pregnant is dangerous, it is very safe to use this product. Trudeau makes many recommendations such as eating organic, doing various cleanses etc. Many are controvercial, many make common sense. You can pick and choose for your own comfort level and the diet will still work. I feel sorry for all the people who gave this book a one star rating. I am sure they are contemplating cutting out a chunk of their large intestines to lose weight. That makes so much sense!!!! Good luck with that. And good luck to those of you with willpower and courage to change your life and improve your health.

Update 6/24/07. I've now been on the protocol for 37 days and have lost over 25 pounds. I've lost 5 1/4 inches in my waist and 2 1/2 inches off of each thigh. These are my problem areas, the "abnormal fat" KT discusses. I've never been able to lose weight in these areas before on any other diet despite low calories and exercising hours every day. I've had no hunger, minimal cravings and loads of energy as KT and Dr. Simeons promised. I've recommended the protocol to friends, everyone can see the difference. It works folks! Don't throw this book out before you research the possibilities.

Update 7/18/07 I've now completed the protocol with a total of a 31 pound weight loss in 43 days. I've lost 6.25 inches in my waist and 3.25 inches off of each thigh. I'm now 2 1/2 weeks into phase 3. I'm eating normally (over 2000) calories a day and MAINTAINING! Eggs, bacon, cheese, cream in my coffee, and lots of fruits and veggies. My cravings are gone and I'm never hungry.

Kevin Trudeau's book, "The Weight Loss Cure" has received controversial reviews, mainly based on negative occurrences of his past. However, the relevance of these reviews should be taken lightly in regards to his book, "The Weight Loss Cure" for one important reason- his book does not consist of his own theories & he does not claim to be a medical professional. Rather, he explains that the book is based on the theories of Dr. Simeons who dedicated years to studying the effects of hCG injections for weight loss & applied it to his patients for over 40 years with successful results.

"An absolute cure for obesity was discovered almost fifty years ago by a British medical doctor. Tens of thousands of people used this simple, inexpensive, safe medical treatment and achieved miraculous, fast, and permanent weight loss. Stubborn area fat deposits melted away. Body reshaping of the hips, thighs, buttocks, and waist was so dramatic it appeared as if the patients received liposuction! Amazingly, this medical breakthrough has been debunked, discredited, and suppressed by the American Medical Association, the Food and Drug Administration, and other medical establishments throughout the world. Now, for the first time in fifty years, this revolutionary breakthrough discovery, which permanently cures the condition of obesity, is being released to the public."

More and more doctors are agreeing with Trudeau's organic approach to the original 500 calorie diet, or very low calorie diet (VLCD) while others, such as Dr. Beluscio, the creator and advocate of oral hCG, completely disagree from any variations from the original protocol. While pharmacies rush to stock additional supplies of hCG, and health food stores up their orders of organic fruit, one thing is certain- Kevin Trudeau has brought new life to the HCG Diet, with thousands of new hCG dieters already losing a pound or more a day and quickly becoming believers!

Here's something else I saw on Ezine by C. Jones, as I was researching to find out if there's an alternative to taking the injections by using oral pills. Here's what I got on google:

The use of hCG for weight loss is once again gaining momentum with the help of 7 millions sales of Kevin Trudeau’s latest book, “The Weight Loss Cure.” Dozens of new websites including hCG Diet Info and numerous sub-sites to weight clinics and weight loss practitioners are springing up almost overnight. According to the editor of the hCG Diet Info website, their traffic levels have gone from a few dozen hits a week to several thousand a day almost immediately following Kevin Trudeau’s nightly infomercials.

Fact or Fad? Well, the jury is still out. hCG manufacturers declare that the hCG fertility drugs such as Pregnyl which are described in Trudeau’s book, have no effect regarding weight loss. On the other hand, long-term weight loss professionals and physicians offer thousands of hcg diet success stories. Research and reviews are posted on Dr. Belluscio’s website, hCG Obesity who also happened to have developed the highly demanded oral hCG pills.

I've run out of room for this article here on Ebay. Just do a search on google for "hcg pills jones" and it should be the first entry after the ads. Also, please vote on this and my other guides to help spread the word on this topic.
ALSO IMPORTANT! I am currently selling the ORIGINAL BOOK/STUDY by Dr Simeons for only $1.99 here on ebay. So if you want to go straight to the source, buy it here!

I ordered the book back in July on 07, thought my order was lost in cyber-space and came home yesterday to find I received the book only three months after ordering and paying for express shipping which they did not charge me for. So, I started reading, skimming thru paragraphs with lots repetitive information, too much actually, and thinking what is up with this? So I went on line to do some research and came across this site. I too am one of the disappointed many! My weight issue is a medically induced problem, one that does not respond to conventional dieting. I found one that was working for me -6 Week Body Makeover, then wham... I really got nailed with Adrenal Fatigue which was caused by a medication I needed to take to stay alive during a 7 year long bout with a life threatening illness. NO JOKE! With this information, I had to change my diet yet again which really did not allow me to lose weight following that program, as discovered when I sought specialized help on their website. By fine tuning the program with small things I was doing which was preventing my weight loss, the pounds really fell off. Once I had to include the intake of certain fats and salt into my diet - the scales jumped and I went back into the size I started out with. I truly was hoping this would be my alternative to that but, unfortunately, my financial situation does not allow me to do so. I found the oral HCG and that is 150.00 a month... out of my budget right now. Disappointed yes, did I get some otherwise helpful information - YES! Was it worth the $17.00 I paid? Sure! I learned a few things, and reconfirmed a lot I was already aware of like the info on Artificial Sweeteners, check out Splenda reports and how bad it really is for you... http://www.holisticmed.com/spl​enda or www.splendaexposed.com or Google splenda yourself and see what pops up. None of it is good. As a matter of fact for me, it mad me crave sweets even more. Just what I was trying to change in myself. Joke's on me! Well, I am not returning the book since it took them three months to send it and charge me for it. I am concerned about the legality of some of the statements he does make. AND after reading the FDA report on Kevin, I am a bit more skeptical of his reliability and level of honesty about what he sells all in the name of the almighty dollar. So, he makes the money, we unsuspecting slobs gladly fork it over in the hopes of finding some type of help or miracle cure, which there isn't!!! Just have to buckle down, make sure you exercise, consistently, watch your food intake, stay away from additives, they do rot you internally... plenty of info available on that. I was very, very ill, dieing as a matter of fact. I did turn the disease around with vitamin therapy. Much to the amazement of doctors @ Dana Farber in Boston, where I saw a Lupus Specialist. It does work, but you need to do your research, find a licensed physician who will work with you, and go for it. What did I have to loose? Nothing, I was going to die anyway. My Rheumatologist was amazed and he is not slouch, on staff with BU Medical in Boston. So, I guess, I would say, don't waste your money on this book, there are much better books on Health and Wellness out there that honestly and realistically help. Prescription for Natural Healing is one of them. Great Resource!!! Dr. Janet Maccaro is another natural healing author, she has a PhD in nutrition and helped me to bring the Adrenal Fatigue under control-Good luck!

I bought this book thinking that it would be a simple how to on weight loss. But just like everthing else in life, weight loss is never simple. After reading the book I felt hopeless, but then I started researching the core protocol the Kevin writes about in the book. It is possible to do this cure at home and it's not "like $200 a shot." There are companies both local and abroad that are willing to ship hcg to your home WITHOUT a prescription. You can get all the hcg that you will need for the six week protocol for prices starting around $50 dollars to upwards of $300 depending on how much you want and how you want it set up. The prices on the lower end involve mixing the hcg yourself and the higher price level gives you pre-loaded shots. But how can you put a price on health? How many diets have we all tried? How many exercise plans and health clubs have we all joined only to see either lackluster results? And then not only do you gain all of the weight back, but you add an extra 10-20 pounds. If you truly want to take charge of your life and your health then do your research. You will discover that, not only does this protocol work, but it will probably be your only answer to true, permanent weight loss. It does mean changing your eating habits as you know them and doing it permanently. It will involve drinking tons and i mean tons of water probably for the rest of your life, but we should be doing that anyway. I HATE WATER!!!! But i'm 30 years old and i'm getting married next year. I want to have a husband i can grow old with and kids that I can play with for more than 5 minutes without getting winded and not being able to play anymore. I am not willing to put a price tag on my health. What are you willing to do? Are you willing to take the chance that something "unconventional" might just work and give you the answers you seek? Or do you want to live in fear being fat, tired, and miserable for the rest of your life? I take unconventional anyday.

Actually..I was trying to be high bidder, saw the review area,clicked and read~ I give my deep appreciation to all who entered,it was very insightfull to me!!
I too listened to the infomercial...always looking to enlighten myself on health and having weight to loose always have a eye and ear open!! I too have tried several tactics to get rid of pounds not wanted...have come to conclusion that...God entended me to have a bit of meat on my bones, and wondering if every one now is trying for the so called NORM size....and damaging their health in the long run..have had the Med Fast which threw off Potassium levels to danger point and I adheared to the added vitamins you had to purchase-was faithfull to the Dr.visits @ over $100.00/visit.........DID LOOSE......however..once returning to eating...and not junk foods high cal. I wound up with more weight to work off. I truly am to the point I think.......Over excercising is not answer either........Juicing NOPE......Jenny Craig yes life time member me am!!! Too much salt stuck with them for over a year lost some but not really...ask about the salt amount in foods was told not enough to effect diet, however had phys.tell me it was too much! Who Knows anymore...It is my belief finally, That..be
1.) mindfull of your calorie intake,size considered,and activity
2.) restrict sugars,salts,fats,
3.) Use seasoners such as Lemons,Limes,honey,and so on naturals:notice salt is not a natual and seems to be a villian to my situation.
4.) Eat lots of Fish, Min.Red meats,chicken,beans and so on
5.) For that sugar need it seems everyone gets the urge for:head for Fruits
6.) Water.a clue I again learned from one of the many plans I have paid a fourtune for in past......however....you can consume too much, there again been there done that for I love Lemon/water combined
7.) Excercise~ wheather this be playing with your children~Grands, move move move, I personally have never heard of anyone using common sense and not trying to break records of some sort ever harming themselves with gentle movement and fun play with the children-just watch a child....all parts are moving-not trying to be some stand out-just goofing around-walking always a goodie!!! Mind you I have even made a mess of this,lolol on my treadmill~~~it seemed a bit boring to me so I put on music...and before I knew it I was jamming around and whala.........back mess up!! TV might be a better way to go if you are like myself and tend to jive up and place more moves than need be in the walking~
In the END....
A.) Positive Outlook on life
B.) Smile
C.) Love yourself
D.) Worry little over what Society says you should be to be NORMAL
E.) Focus on Others and making life better in someway for someone less than yourself
F.) Strive to be all you can be in all areas!
G.) Try to keep away from FAST QUICK fixes:Anything worth while be that health, relatioships, mental, reach inside yourself, get in touch with the inner most core of yourself-if you find there are areas need a bit of fine tuning strive to work on those over time!! My belief is God will go all the way with you!!& while doing so....will teach you all you need to know...and all he wants***** is in the end a Healthy life for you while here on earth!!
