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.

I don't doubt that people can lose weight on this diet.  However, I do doubt that this is a long term solution.  Proper diet and exercise for the LONG TERM is the best.  It's about a lifestyle change, not a quick fix.  I workout 5 days a week at 4:30am.  I watch what I eat and have treats in moderation.  It's all about the long term, not the quick fix.  I wonder what all these HGC people will say in a few years.  My bet is they will have gained back all the weight they have lost and then some.  JMHO.
I'm not a hater, just a realist.

i lost 14 lbs doing the hcg diet for 40 days. what i noticed after the diet was i am always weak in the afternoon and have no energy the entire day. when i was on hcg, i was so energized. now i'm wondering , is the hcg addicted? i am planning to do the second round but my husband is stopping me now. at this point, i gained 5 lbs back already. i was not good in phase 2 & 3 though :(
is there anyone out there feeling the same way i feel? thanks guys!

I've been a nurse for 16 yrs and have been employed by an HCG clinic for a year now. I,m concerned by how many peaple are doing this diet without any guidence from medical personel. Also when you purchase the unregulated HCG. You have no way of knowing what your getting, it could even be from horse urine instead of human. Most likely it is very diluted down from prescription strength. With it being such a low calorie diet it is essential to be monitored for depleatiom of nutrients and to monitor your muscle mass to ensure your not looseing muscle instead of fat. Alot of symptoms listed on this page could be a potential problem and guidence is needed.
