Side Effects on the HCG Diet

by Dr. Dennis Clark

Here is a little video that I posted on YouTube. Below is my article on this topic, which has further details on what you can expect in the way of hcg side effects.

HCG vs Protocol

Side effects of HCG may be caused by a reaction to the hormone, a reaction to the very low-calorie diet, a reaction to substances released from metabolized fat, or combinations of all of these. Determining cause and effect is not really possible. However, if the approved medical uses of HCG for treating infertility or low testosterone are any indication, certain side effects of HCG alone may be possible.

Medical Use of HCG vs HCG Diet

Treating infertility with HCG requires doses of 10,000 IU. This is a typical dose of HCG for medical treatments. One drug company that makes Pregnyl (the most common brand name for HCG) lists the following unwanted symptoms of this high dose:

Headache, irritability, restlessness, depression, fatigue, edema, precocious puberty, gynecomastia (i.e., breast enlargement in males).

These are due to the high doses that are used in medical treatment. The question is whether they are also associated with the low doses of HCG that are used for the HCG diet.

Observations of Common Side Effects

The following observations are derived from reports by clients who have gone through the HCG protocol and from my own experience.

FATIGUE: The most common one is fatigue. This occurs almost 100% of the time. It is independent of starting weight or health status. People who work out regularly are less able to keep up their workout intensity. Those who are out of shape and inactive in the first place slow down even further.

IRRITABILITY: The ‘significant others’ of HCG dieters notice this first. It is very common. In my own experience, I even felt more irritable. By the end of the protocol, the quick recovery back to normal, after being more irritable for a month or more, was like going from night to day.

HEADACHE: At least 10 percent of the HCG dieters report headaches for the first few days of the protocol. Headaches stop after the body’s initial water loss during this period, when sufficient water intake begins to rehydrate the body. Water intake is the key to reversing this brief period of accelerated dehydration.

REDUCED NEED FOR SLEEP: Many dieters report that they sleep less during the protocol. This is a well-recognized side effect of the HCG diet. People do not feel as though they are sleep deprived. They just seem to need less sleep.

CONSTIPATION: Dieters who are prone to constipation notice that it is more pronounced on the protocol. It is crucial to treat this symptom immediately so that passage of waste, as well as daily weight loss, proceeds normally every day. Constipation will otherwise slow down or stop weight loss completely.

MINOR OCCURRENCES: Dozens of side effects that have been reported to be associated with the HCG diet are much more difficult to validate. Most seem to be associated with bad health. Blogs and forums are rife with reports of these kinds of symptoms. However, the only other side effects that are common enough to be expected are the beneficial ones, as mentioned below.

Beneficial Side Effects

Dr. A.T.W. Simeons already reported these observations in 1954. The main ones of greatest impact to modern users of the protocol are: 1) normalizing blood sugar metabolism; 2) lowering cholesterol; and, 3) lowering blood pressure.

Dr. Simeons’ explanations of these side effects are detailed in his book, Pounds and Inches. They are to be expected for everyone who undertakes the protocol. Besides fat loss, these are most crucial results from the protocol. They help slow down and even reverse hypoglycemia, diabetes, and heart disease.

All the best in fat loss,
Dr. D

Is Hcg Weight Loss Safe For Men: Male Hcg Side Effects

by Dr. Dennis Clark

Many males looking to lose weight are interested in the use of HCG treatment. The question pertaining to male HCG side effects automatically arises. What are the male HCG side effects of use if there’s any? Are males in any danger while being on HCG Weight Loss plan? Let’s examine these questions more in depth below. If HCG is used correctly there is often little concern for side effects for both male and Female. As a matter of fact, HCG is a natural water-based hormone present in both men and women, although it is produced in great amounts in pregnant females. HCG products can safely be used by both male and female that are looking to get their weight under control. The potential male HCG side effects may include common symptoms associated with diet, such as body fatigue, headaches, irritability, and men may also begin to retain water when they first use HCG. Male HCG side effects can also include the development of soreness or tenderness right in the region where HCG injections are applied, which is a most common side effects while taking injections such as flu shot. In some cases, men have noted the development of restlessness as well, but all of the above side effects are rare in occurrence. If male HCG side effects are noted and become too bothersome, then it is highly recommended that the individual talks to his doctors or clinics for consultation. The side effects produced by HCG use differ between men and women, at least to a certain degree. Women may face more side effects than men do. For example, females who take HCG treatments for fertility purpose run the risk of developing pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and tenderness of breast tissue. However when HCG shots are used for weight loss reasons, a much smaller dosage is used (125 IU comparing to 10,000 IU for fertility purpose 10,000 IU). So there are rarely side effects reported while using HCG diet injections, or oral HCG for weight loss purpose. Any and all male HCG side effects should certainly be monitored. If any effects develop, it is safe for the user of HCG to consult with his physician. It is recommended that one stop HCG weight loss if such side effects develop at any time. Discussing one’s dieting options with a qualified medical professional are also recommended. To learn more about male HCG side effects and HCG for weight loss, I recommend you checking out HCG Weight Loss, where HCG dieters can learn all the necessary information about HCG Weight Loss and share their experiences in losing weight.
