Question 1

is hcg safe for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

No: Hcg does not help with weight loss. Plus, if you're not getting it on prescription, you're doing it illegally and who knows what you're injecting and how much harm it could cause you. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.

Question 2

is hcg effective for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

There is no evidence: There is no scintific evidence to recommend HCG for weight loss.In 2009 american society of bariatric physicians cocluded by a paper not to recommend HCG for weight loss
in 1995 british journal of pharmacology made recommendation based on published research that HCG shows no benefit for weight loss.

Question 3

which is better for weight loss: hcg or hgh?

Accepted Answer

Neither: HGH has been studied and is not an effective weight loss drug (and very expensive) though in some cases it might slightly decrease body fat.  hCG is the hormone your placenta makes during pregnancy and I am aware of no studies showing it is helpful for weight loss

Question 4

how can  smoking hookah affect your weight loss on the hcg diet?

Accepted Answer

Increases appetite: I am assuming you are smoking marijuana in the hookah?  While on the HCG diet you should not be taking drugs other than necessary medications for health reasons.

Question 5

what other weight loss pills can i take while taking the hcg injections?

Accepted Answer

None: When done the right way under the supervision of a qualified physician and the original protocol 500 calorie diet you do not need other drugs.  Sometimes we add mic injections for a boost in weight loss or B12 for energy.

Question 6

what is a healthy weight loss after 60 days? what is your medical opinion of the hcg diet?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On how much overweight you are.  On its own it is healthy to lose around 1-2 lbs per week.  I am a big proponent of the HCG diet when done under the supervision of a qualified physician and the original protocol for calories and doses.

Question 7

i know several people who have benefited from the injectable form of the hcg for weight loss - what is the consensus out there on this?

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 8

does hcg work for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

It's not proven to: What works is reducing caloric intake. Weight loss clinics often tout the weight loss effects of hcg, but what really helps is that they put their clients on a drastically reduced calorie intake. This seems to work great in the short run, but is not sustainable, and all too often the weight comes right back.

Question 9

i'm curious as to what hcg drops work for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Simeons' Diet?: Hcg diet, its "full of c**p" - to use a nonmedical phrase. It's based on using HCG (which doesn't work in the first place), but you can't get HCG expect by prescription and then it's only given by injection.  By law, the drops can't contain any hcg, so it's like adding expensive water to your meals. All the so-called HCG diets use a very low calorie intake to get you to lose weight, not due to hcg.

Question 10

which hcg drops are considered the best for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Hcg: Hcg is not the first thing i would recommend that you focus on.What is your diet like?Are you exercising?How much water do you drink everyday?Have you had labwork to check your hormone levels?Start there first.
