Can you please list the risks associated with the hcg diet?

Starvation: It doesn't work. The diet stipulates that you are on a extremly low calorie intake. This is what causes the weight loss, but it is very difficult to maintain and is not healthy for your body.

What I tell patients: You could be allergic, irregular menses, migraine exacerbations, rare allergic reaction or edema, rare temporary hair loss, blood clot formation, gallstones.
