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.

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.

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.

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.
