HCG diet is considered revolutionary in the field of weight loss programs and has been found to be most effective way to reduce weight, that too rapidly.

The most important thing to mention is that the calorie intake per day should not be more than 500 calories.

The original diet was done with HCG injections and is still very popular with people who prefer to complete the program under the guidance of a doctor or a physician. People with previous medical history should always consult a doctor before starting the program in order to prevent any possible reaction with their existing medication.

The side effects one can experience with Injections is blood clot. So it is recommended to take help of a doctor of one is taking HCG injection.

Apart from this, now a new form of HCG has come, which is taken orally. A person has to take the drop twice in a day.

The biggest side effect of HCG is how your body will react to rapid weight loss. Some people might feel nausea or headache symptoms because of the fact that the body is not getting sufficient amount of sugar and you are taking only 500 calories per day which is well below the usual requirements of daily life calories.

But usually after a couple of days, people get accustomed to the HCG diet and stop experiencing any other side effect.

Apart from this, if one is taking HCG orally and not by injection, they should see if the HCG is not sub-standard. A bottle of HCG costs around anywhere between $70-$90, so one should make sure that the HCG they are buying is not sub-standard.

Another thing to consider is that since HCG is produced by pregnant women, women who do not wish to become pregnant should avoid this hormone. For men, there is no such restriction unless they have some serious ailment or previous medical history.

A few people may also experience dizziness and high blood pressure but that will subside in a couple of days. Till date, there have been no long term side effects of HCG hormone and number of satisfied customers exceed those few unsatisfied customers.

The only few who are unsatisfied are the ones who did not follow the diet plan properly or started gorging on their favorite food as soon as they finished with the course!

Any kind of dieting regime is not normal as it seems to follow certain protocol about not eating certain kinds of food that needs to be followed rigidly. Since the whole process of dieting is not natural, so it affects the body physiologically and not pathologically. This means that the body reacts but it is not a diseased state. Generally it has been observed that any kind of dieting affects the body positively to either gain or lose weight.

HCG Diet has been in vogue since last sixty years and has had positive effects of those who followed. The reason for this is because it has been developed by Dr. Simeon who has clinically studied and this diet is a result of the research he had been actively involved in. But those days the people had different eating habits from today and the diet regime that was introduced was on the basis of lifestyle then – the yester years.

Today it is a rage something that is being desired intensely – Why? The reason is the side effect of the HCG diet has been positive and not negative; provided it is followed to the dot. There is no danger in following but there is definitely changes in the blood sugar level, kidney functions and liver – mind you all in positive.

Sudden drop of blood sugar or hypoglycaemia is normal at the end of the course but relieved instantly by taking a spoon full of sugar. Complete absence of fat from diet causes gallstones but is cured by one medicine. All these conditions are not pathological, it is because of physiological changes happening to the body and hence the body heals itself.

The removal of abnormal fat from the heart muscles because of the HCG Diet Protocol find people breathing better. Massage during treatment disturbs the delicate process that the body is undergoing and therefore does harm with blue black marks that got there as it affects the subcutaneous fat that should remain for the welfare of the person who have signed up for the therapy. The reaction of the HCG injection for weight loss is felt at the end of course with muscular fatigue as a good deal of fat has been rapidly lost. This phenomenon disappears after the treatment ends.

All the side effects due to HCG diet and injection are a result of the rapid fat loss from the body hence the light-headedness, fatigue, sleeplessness and weakness. But as soon as the treatment is over the person feels lighter, comfortable, confident and generally happier because the program has run its course to defeat the abnormal fat and allowed the essential structural fat in its correct places for the well-being of the person.
