So apparently, there's this hormone HCG that's only made by the body during pregnancy that elevates fat-burning metabolic processes like crazy. I'm gonna inject this shit for 28 days and workout like crazy even though I am male.

You wont gwt ripped, by the way, and inb4 you find out part of the HGC program is a 500 calorie a day diet of mostly green vegetables and boiled skinless chicken.
No wonder it works, right?

yeah, but the psychological boost is important too, dieting sucks and can be hard for people. If you're got a supplement that can help guarantee success people are more willing to stick with it --especially if they see results. Sure, it's snake oil, but really it's placebo. But the effect it can have is to make people actually lose weight by giving them hope.
If people believe they are strong, then they can do powerful things.

Hey guys, it's a hormone. No scientific evaluation necessary, since it's a hormone it must do exactly what we presume it will do. That's how science works. We all know what an expert to4ster is on science. Remember all the scientific experiments he conducted involving sex with men? He's an unbiased, selfless, expert.

I want to read his thesis. I wonder what conclusions he reached.

A hormone is not a placebo by definition guy. If you did a double-blind study hypothesizing a certain hormone would have a certain effect on the body and it proved no better than placebo, you could say there was a "placebo effect" with regard to your hypothesis. But it would still be inappropriate and uneducated to refer to the hormone itself as a placebo when it is well known hormones have observable and profound effects on body systems.

You didn't, but you critiqued my comment directed at someone who did. Therefore, the explanation was in order.

So because I critiqued a comment that had something to do with placebo, and it's not a placebo, my comment is wrong and yours is right even though I said nothing about placebos. Stupidest straw man I've ever seen, to4ster.

But HGC does nothing but hace a placebo effect. HGC does nothing for males, this was proven in 2007 by Dr. Weiss who found too much HGC in pregnant women causes miscarriage, but in men it has no effect at all. Get your facts straight, to4str. Do some research and stop listening to the idiots you blow for 5 quid.
