What Are HCG Diet Side Effects?

While many people assume adhering to the HCG diet is coupled with an array of unpleasant side effects, the majority of people following this diet plan typically do not report any side effects when they are also receiving HCG injection therapy. The HCG diet is strict and involves consuming 500 calories per day and avoiding all sugary and starchy foods, among other requirements. Usually, a diet that is so rigorous would be coupled with feelings of starvation, tiredness, and dizziness. However, HCG injection therapy has been known to lessen these side effects, making the diet manageable. Thus, participants of this therapy program have been able to achieve their weight loss goals.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone that is naturally produced by the pituitary gland during the early stages of pregnancy. In fact, the presence of this hormone is one of the earliest ways to detect pregnancy. This hormone also extracts nutrients from an expectant mother’s fat stores to help nourish the fetus; due to this characteristic, HCG injection therapy has been known to help men and non-pregnant women lose weight.
