A couple of weeks ago I started a medically supervised diet of the low-carb variety, or least that was what I thought.
The initial diet protocol looked to me like a slightly modified Keto or New-Atkins plan, however, I got a little bit suspicious when I found out about the added (costly) Ozone therapy and (even more costly) daily injections; after I felt really ill for a couple of days I started to research on Google – definitely something I should have done earlier.
It turned out that the good doctor was using the highly controversial hCG diet protocol, as documented on hcgdietinfo.com and hCG-Diet respectively, without telling me; and I really don’t want to know what the injections were …
Needless to say that we parted ways immediately.
Luckily for me I found a respected Keto practitioner nearby, so I will be able to continue.
Lesson learned:
- Don’t ever skimp on background checks
