HCG Diet?

I have a really close friend’s wife that is on the HCG Diet. I’m very concerned and would like to get some thoughts and opinions from fellow dragon door members. I’ve tried to dissuade her from this diet, but she keeps on seeing the number on the scale go down on a daily basis. She was never really that overweight to begin with. So far she’s lost 35 pounds on it, but she doesn’t look much thinner to me. The diet claims that you’ll lose mostly adipose tissue (fat), but I don’t see how that could be possible on a 500 calorie a day diet.
