Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... i seem to have more gas/intestinal issues since being on the hcg diet. I don't know if is due to the diet. I have been off the drops for 2 months but it seemed to start when I was on the drops.

Not very. Not in long run.
Fat people do not eat on the basis of hunger controls but on the basis of habit/compulsion/cues.
Changes in diet change all of these and we lose weight (temporarily) on any stupid fad diet.
But that doesn't mean we've changed anything else.
Identifying the features that trigger eating and dealing with them with behavior change techniques is the way to keep weight down

is a book on this.
