Effects: Both weight loss and increased Hcg will have an effect on your menstrual cycle. Studies giving exgenous hcg show changes in estrogen, progesterone and LH and FSH which are the hormones that control your cycle. Weight loss itself will be a factor too. I am unaware of any specific dangers from the diet. If the problem would continue past a 2 or 3 months seek evaluation.
