Does The Hcg Diet Damage Your Heart?

Does the HCG diet damage your heart?

I weigh 308 lbs and am looking for a jump start to loosing weight. A freind of mine is doing it and loosing a bunch of weight, but my instincts are saying this can't be safe...so can you help me decide if I should use it or not?
