Not good for long te: Not good for long term, it is difficult to maintain weight loss with such severe caloric restriction, a lot of people lose weight and regain it, if you are able to maintain it , can be a good tool.

May work: The medication may be causing the weight gain. Some patients report a feeling of well being while on the HCG diet, when done under supervision of qualified doctor with the use of injectable hcg. Sometimes depression could be secondary to hormone imbalance.
