This is a reply to # 2,078,035"The HCG diet would be classified as a Fad Diet as there isn’t much evidence that HCG works in promoting weight loss in healthy adults, but only has been proven effective in boys with Fröhlich’s syndrome.
In fact, researching the history of HCG, shows that in the 60′s and 70′s some doctors were paid up to $100,000 a year to sit in a room and write prescriptions for HCG once a week for the weight loss clinics without ever seeing any of the patients.
--In a recent double blind study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it was determined that using HCG was ineffective in promoting weight loss.--
HCG Diet Basics
1. Extreme Calorie restriction of around 500 Calories a day.
2. Foods that are rich in lean protein.
3. A daily injection of 125mg of the HCG hormone.
Exercise
Exercise isn’t recommended on the HCG diet, in fact, it is discouraged.
Program Costs
Expect to pay around $140 per month for the HCG drops and additional costs for recipe guides, books, and meal plans.
Costs could be significantly higher for those that go to clinics for their injections and consultations.
Cons
- Weight loss is most likely due to Calorie restriction, not HCG.
- Side effects include headaches, risk of blood clots, restlessness, and depression.
- Exercise is not promoted as part of overall health.
- Calorie restriction is way below what is deemed safe by the majority of the medical profession.
- Side effects of the long term use of HCG are not understood.
- Some cancers could not be caught early as HCG injections will hide tumor markers.
- Lifestyle changes aren’t stressed, but falls under the quick fix mentality.
- HCG is not approved by the FDA
Weight Loss Due to Extreme Calorie Deficit
While many dieters are lured in by the HCG Diet’s claims of fast weight loss without exercise, dieters are warned to steer clear from the HCG diet as it is not a healthy way to lose weight and the use of HCG drops could potentially lead to other health problems down the road.
The 100′s of testimonials being promoted across the internet are no doubt from people who experienced weight loss, but did so because of the extreme Calorie restriction and the high protein diet which promotes ketosis."
