Question 3

after the hcg diet how do you keep the weight off ?  can you drink alcoholic beverages on the diet?

Question 5

im delayed almost a month. tried hcg test 4x all went negative. im on a diet and drinking herbalife spplement/shake. is that the reason? or im preggy?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 6

is hcg diet dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't sound safe: The HCG diet has a person eating 500 calories a day for more than a month. That's just one big slice of pizza a day. A 4-month old baby eats 500 calories a day. Anybody on 500 calories a day is on a starvation diet and will lose weight. It doesn't sound safe. Extremely low calorie diets don't work because the weight comes back when one starts eating again. Long-term lifestyle changes are needed.

Question 7

what are hcg diet drops for?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: Most people try to use human growth hormone for weight loss and for metabolism. It has never been proven to be effective when taken orally. Most of the oral products that are availible over the counter are not going to do much for you. I wouldnt waste your money.

Question 8

what are the complications involving the hcg diet?

Accepted Answer

Insufficiency : The diet is really a starvation diet and can cause problems with heart and other organs because you aren't getting enough nutrition and can see  consequences from starvation.  Do not recommend as not worth weight loss. Add exercise if you want to burn more calories than you are taking in. Not worth harming your body

Question 9

will hcg diet afftect implantation?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't: The dose is so small and will have no effects on your normal balance of hormones.

Question 10

will the hcg diet mess up fertiliry?

Accepted Answer

Stop HCG Diet: Hcg is a hormone similar to lh. Hcg stimulates the ovary and can affect your cycles in ways that are bad for fertility. The affect HCG has on your cycle will depend on how much you ingest. However, the menstrual cycle is sensitive to these hormones and you may not know if there is an effect until you cannot become pregnant or your cycles become irregular. There are other effective diets.
