HCG Side Effects In Women?
I know many women who are worried about any side effects associated with the HCG diet.
Many of them ask me if there will be any dangers or lasting effects that range from the silly to the serious.
Some women are worried about little things like skin issues and some are worried about larger issues like an effect on having children in the future.
But are any of these worries warranted?
To put it simply, no.
The HCG diet has been proven effective for 50-60 years and thousands upon thousands of women (and men) have done the diet successfully.
It doesn’t effect your ability to have children in the future (in fact it may increase your chances!).
And as of this writing I know of no long-term effects that are negative.
If you use the safe method that I talk about in this post: “HCG Diet Dangers” you’ll be fine. Make sure to read that post now as it contains the most information about any side effects or dangers.
Injections can be a little more tricky and can pose some complications but that is typically because of the delivery method and not because of the HCG itself.
One thing you should be aware of though is the low calorie diet you will be doing while on the HCG.
It’s low calorie so things like exercise should be avoided. Otherwise you will burn more calories than you have and be starving the whole time on the diet.
Also since it’s low calorie you shouldn’t be pregnant or nursing during the diet because you won’t have enough nutrients to help support your baby. It’s not that the HCG is dangerous for your baby it’s because the low calorie diet just doesn’t have enough calories for you and a baby. So don’t be pregnant or nursing on the diet. But after you are done with the diet you are fine to get pregnant.
But other than those basic precautions it’s extremely safe. I personally have coached hundreds of people and haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary.
But what I have seen is that everyone loses the weight. Even those with thyroid issues and other serious conditions that haven’t been able to lose the weight in the past do extremely well.
So make sure you are healthy enough to go on a low calorie diet, but after that you should be OK to do this amazing diet. In fact think about how unhealthy it is to NOT do the diet.
It always amazes me when someone has 100+ pounds to lose and they are worried about this proven diet. They should be worried about the 100 extra pounds of fat they need to lose and how it’s effecting their health!
In fact once they start losing the weight they feel great, usually stop taking the myriad of medications they are on and are much, much healthier. I feel comfortable in saying that this diet has saved many people’s lives.
I think that people have worries about starting the diet more as a way to delay it and have an excuse to not take action, but that’s a subject for another article.
So take the first step and get started. And as always please post in the comments below with your questions and updates on progress!
