My doctor (functional medicine, ob/gyn) suggested this protocol. I had to do a 40 day detox first (cut out everything: gluten, red meat, shelfish, dairy, citrus, strawberries...all inflammatory foods). After I completed that, she wanted me to do the hcg protocol. I did not go through her office to do it (it was very pricey that way), Ive done it on my own. Since my friends and family knew about the dr ordered detox (complete with labs every 2 months, I was having some thyroid junk), its been easier to just say I am on a detox. I feel a little decietful outlining it that way, but I truly dont want the flack, even from well meaning friends & family.
But, in reality, it is essentially a detox anyway!! I like the term "restricted diet" too.
