I'm really not familiar with this, but I wouldn't use any types of hormones to lose weight. I would really stick to eating as many raw foods as possible, together with exercise. It doesn't have to be strenuous exercise, just walking is very good exercise. But it has to be done on a regular basis. Actually, losing weight at such a fast pace isn't good either. It should come down slowly and steadily. I'm really if it would be a safe thing to do for anybody.
