Snooki's HCG Diet tricked her body into thinking she is pregnant, as this diet promotes weight loss at one pound a day. This is the new secret HCG Diet of the stars as Snooki and JWOWW are the latest to use the pregnancy hormone to lose weight.

In the past other stars, such as Britney Spears, reportedly lost weight using the HCG hormone. The recent popularity of the diet is due to the petite reality show star from "Jersey Shore." When she showed up on the newest season and looked like she lost a lot of weight in a short time, people wanted to know what she did to reshape her body so quickly.

This morning on "Fox and Friends Weekend" Dr. Erica Schwartz, a hormone expert from the Age Management Institute, looked like she surprised Alisyn Camerota when she said the HCG Diet works. Schwartz said as long as this done under a doctor's care it is safe and it works.

Schwartz did say you can lose a pound a day and that the weight doesn't tend to come back after the dieter stops taking the HCG hormone treatment. This diet plan also entails consuming only 500 calories a day, but this doctor said that the HCG hormone also acts like an appetite suppressor, so it is not a hard caloric plan to follow.

According to the website News Junky, the HCG hormones come in drops for oral consumption and are just dropped on your tongue. The diet is not without criticism, as plenty of horror stories exist about people who felt awful while on the diet. The website also points out that a lot of companies, looking to cash in on the HCG Diet popularity, do not necessarily have a good product and make a quick buck by selling inferior products that don't work.

According to Schwartz, if you are 25 pounds overweight, you can feasibly lose this in a months time, but again do it safely and under a doctor's care.
