Hcg- side effects

[ilovederek]

Has anyone experienced any bad side effects from the hcg shots?  I am administering them myself and just want to know what to look out for.

[kinzas]

Both myself and my friend got tooth/gum infection after having HCG injections, just like pregnant women used to get. I had to have my root canals holding my bridge removed and she had to have her tooth taken out. Also, I noticed severe constipation most likely related to thyroid problems caused by HCG. The constipation disappeared in about 30 days after stopping the injections.

I am a 60 year old woman who is past menopause and has struggled with weight all of my life.  I always kept it in check to try to stay within 15 lbs of my "ideal weight" and I have been successful.  How?  decreasing calories.  I literally starved my body most of my life by eating 900  calories/day (healthy foods--mostly organic--and home cooked).  About 6 months ago, I gained 10 lbs within 3 weeks.  I began exercising (riding bike 10 miles/day, walking 4-5 miles/day, lifting weights, etc.. and eating 1000 calories/day.  I documented everything, downloaded it  and took it to my GP.  Her comment "Well, I guess you just need to accept your new weight and become happy with your body as it is".  I am a very, very active 61 yo professional who wants to be healthy and stay active.  It is difficult when you are carrying around 10 extra pounds or more!! She just was not understanding. What she didn't realize is that if I didn't keep my weight in check, it would continue to go up.  And it did. So, what did I do... went on the hcg diet.  This is my last chance. If you think about what happens physiologically with weight gain and hcg during pregnancy, this diet makes more sense to me. I have always said, that I feel like my body wants to get back to my weight during pregnancy.  I know I have starved my body of nutrients by eating only 900 calories/day.  I know I can't keep doing that.  SO.... for those who say you need to eat healthy and exercise to lose weight... I totally agree, BUT .it doesn't work for everyone!  And to the person who wrote that 500 calories is a small portion of brown rice... no it isn't.  There are 216 in one cup of brown rice--around 350 in a cup of chili depending on if it is with beans or without. I realize that the majority of people who need to lose weight are have more weight to lose than I.  It makes me angry to see that people can have banding or other types of GI surgery to lose weight. I am grateful that we have those surgeries because it could be a matter of life or death for those people.  But those of us who try to keep our weight in check so we don't get to that point get no support.  Physicians... listen to your patients. Just because you might be overweight, doesn't mean we want to be.  I will post more after I complete the diet and again  after that.

The diet is though, but is worthy.

I did 2 rounds of the Spray It Away diet and lost 52 pounds and have never been so healthy and happy. I have learned through the diet regimine various aspects of keeping the weight off - portion control, drinking more water, cutting down on carbs and sugars and limiting dairy. Kept the weight off going on 2 years now and have a whole new attitude about NOT gaining it back and keeping it off. This product was life saving for me. I was tipping the scales over 200 pounds! NOTHING worked before this and I had NO side effects....

[charubakshi]

I have tried it for 60 days and worked out very well, but when i left, i kinda regained it, now i am not sure if it is due to change in my lifestyle or due to leaving the diet. Hair loss was significant and i dnt think they grow back. I would like to ask someone who is on this diet frequently, do they regain weight once they leave the diet.

[shellybelly921]

Has anyone experienced loose or sagging skin while on Releana..due to the rapid weight loss?

[kay128]

I took Omnitrition's version of the hCG drops and they caused problems with my heart.  I wouldn't recommed them.  I've had to have so many doctor's appointments because of these drops.

[imayoj]

I did this diet last year & lost 14 lbs. Ufortunately, I gained it back because of my poor eating habit,
I just want to warn everyone that there are so many "fake" HcG out there!! I bought  it again from internet  from different company (the original one that I took already closed for business.) I took it for 2 weeks and never lost a lb! I was ripped off by that company.
Now, I consulted my doctor & gave me a diet food that I am following. More on stay away from red meat, no milk products, eat salad in daily basis, blueberry shake with soy milk for breakfast & eat dinner not later tha 8 pm. It worked and for 3 weeks, I lost 9 lbs! Very happy with the outcome and this is very safe.
I guess I'm more vegetarian now and became organic eater!

[muffintops]

I am just wanting to let you know I am also wanting to return the drops and they gave me an address for China!
Perhaps I have the wrong stuff?????
I am so confused!!!!

[Healthdoesntcomeinabottle]

Homeopathic, by definition, means there is really no HCG in the bottle. Homeopathy is based on the principle that a highly diluted version of whatever is ailing you, will cure you.

[Vickey518]

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR DOPS?

[speechtx]

Yes! and I am on the pill!!! It's not listed in the side effects on any website though.

[Fredrickgranny70]

I have high blood pressure and I will start  the hcg tomorrow I am afraid but I am tired of being fat

[RN5ER]

The reason for the HCG is so that you don't lose muscle when you are consuming only 500 calories.  You burn fat.  I asked the same question since am in healthcare and do know how calories, etc. work.

[Amber4now]

I am on day 13 of HCG diet, and have lost 17 pounds. I feel great. If I was losing from just the 500 calorie diet, I would be extremely hungry, irritable,and tired. This is not the case. I have a great mood, am not hungry, weak or tired. I had 1 day with sugar cravings. And today I have some thigh cramps, tightness. I added magnesium and potassium supplements and its much better. I think if you are serious, can stick to it, its a great tool for weight loss.  

[Catsy50]

Yes. Feel the same exact way with the tiredness. Although I felt more tired when taking the drops. Also, the day after I stopped taking them, I started getting dizzy spells. Not mild either! Full on, can't walk, grab a wall, stop the car type dizzy spells. There have been at least 5 episodes in the past 2 days. My husband has been very curious and cautious about the drops and now that he knows about these dizzy spells Im not sure he'll b on bored with me going another round, although I would b willing to, just to get those last pesky lbs off.

I am not doing too well on losing weight this time around, but, am not sweating over it, cos I have been eating snacks n while helping a friends move, I joined in for snacks not in the hcg protocol... But, I have barely a week left, I have to finish it right. Tomorrow is 4 apples and 8 oz steak day, break my pleteau n help me to continue loosing.

Food is very simple, I try to stick to those suggested by the protocol handbook. I feel hungry too....drink lost of fluid...I drink herbal tea like chamomile tea, yogi detox is also great....it helps

You r doing great, I only lost 5 this time around...

I can't wait till its all over to head the gym

[desigai1]

I disagree that hcg drops do not work. My sister n law was over 200 lbs when she started taking them less than a year ago. She is now under 150 lbs. Hcg drops do work and even when used on young boys found that they help with weight loss.

[AnthonyL]

My wife and I used the hcg drops and we lost 49  pounds and 60 pounds respectively.  It worked great for us and we found ours online at http://www.hcgxtremeweightloss.com
