Question 1

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 2

hcg diet side effects. diferencies between drops and shots?

Accepted Answer

Diet: Some of the diets that go with that are very restrictive and may not be safe.  Would not recommend doing that.

Question 3

can taking hcg diet drops affect fertility at all?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It is not a good idea to be taking the HCG diet while trying. Hcg may affect your cycles. However, the weight loss from the diet may actually enhance your fertility if you are overweight.

Question 4

info abou the hcg diet, and after yoy reach your goal weight do u continue the drops and do you continue eating just 500 calories?

Accepted Answer

HCGdiet looks unsafe: 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 5

do u sugest me to use hcg diet drops, because am overweight, and i want to loose weight fast in may be 1mnth, am 88kg and i want to reduce almost 30kgs.

Accepted Answer

Bad Plan: The HCG diet is a strict one, hard to follow, and short-term -- all very unrealistic goals for long-term weight loss maintenance. Nobody can survive in a healthy way on 500 calories a day (which is what the diet calls for). The idea of taking breaks from the HCG "mobilizing the energy stored in your own body fat" translates into temporary weight loss that comes back. Instead, plan to lose slowly.

Question 6

i am interested in the hcg diet. i am currently 16 years old who just want to get rid of baby fat and become more fit. should i start taking hcg drops?

Accepted Answer

Fad diet...: Hcg is a fad diet of unproven safety.  Most diets of any kind will help you lose weight but due to an imbalance of macronutrients you end up losing valuable muscle along with fat.  This sets you up for regaining the weight after the diet is "over".  A better approach would be to develop healthy habits i.e. Eat whole (unprocessed) foods, small portion sizes, and get more active. Good luck!

Question 7

hi, i can't find a dr. here in dickinson nd that uses the hcg diet. any ideas of how i can get started?

Accepted Answer

Bad idea: The reason you're having such a tough time finding a doctor is that the hCG diet is not a great idea. It is a severe calorie restricted diet. You may initially lose some weight quickly, but the effect will not last. Studies of the diet have shown no value in managing obesity, and it carries significant potential for side effects, including blood clots, headaches, and hair thinning, among others.

Question 8

Question 9

Long-term lifestyle changes are needed.

Question 10

can i stop hcg diet early?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are doing the 500 cal diet, it is best to stop. That kind of diet is not safe and will not provide you with enough nutrients.
