Disputing Diet Fads...ALWAYS do your research on all diet products and ask a physician before engaging in any diet plan.
REMEMBER: The best plan is eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, vitamins, exercise and enough sleep! All other plans start with DIE...
Information on the HCG Diet (which I thought HCG was the blood levels during pregnancy?)HCG Diet: Does HCG Diet Work?
What You Should Know About This Product
A diet supplement administered through injections or oral drops, the HCG Diet is considered by some to be a controversial weight loss method. HCG stands for Human Choriogonadotropin, a hormone that is produced by women in the first stages of pregnancy. (I thought so) Its main function in pregnancy is to stimulate the hypothalamus, which in turn moves essential fats and nutrients into the placenta. In terms of weight loss, it is this ability to move fat that has attracted weight loss experts and dieters looking for the newest industry breakthrough. Unfortunately there is little scientific evidence to show that HCG is the ‘miracle’ diet supplement hoped for and will certainly not have much effect on weight unless used in conjunction with a severely calorie-restricted diet.
In addition to this, there have been several adverse side effects associated with HCG when it is used for weight loss. These can include depression, headaches and blood clots and, although it has been FDA-approved for use in pregnancy, it has not for dieting. In terms of safety, there is no concrete proof to show that HCG oral supplements carry fewer risks than injecting the substance, although the former would certainly be more convenient.

Pumping yourself with pills just ads toxic waste to your body! Find ways to get outside, move (dance with your kids), drink lots of water and keep your body healthy! Rid yourself of the unhealthy things...tea (black, green, red), coffee, smoking, alcohol...and any other things that are not good for you (listen to your body) and your body will keep up! I promise!
