The hCG hormone has been used to help you lose weight, but this weight loss effect is only achieved when this hormone is used along with very low calorie diets.
HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy, being essential for the proper development of the baby. In addition, this hormone can also be used to treat fertility problems and changes in the ovaries or testicles.
How Diet Works
The hCG diet lasts about 25 to 40 days and is made by using the hormone through injections or drops that should be placed under the tongue. In addition to the use of hCG, one should also eat a diet where the maximum intake is 500 kcal per day, the main factor responsible for weight loss. See an example of a 800 kcal menu that can also be used in the diet.
It is important to remember that before the beginning of the diet it is necessary to do blood tests and medical evaluation to detect problems that prevent the use of the hormone, such as polycystic ovaries and hemorrhages.
Side effects of using hCG
The use of hCG in weight loss diets can cause side effects such as:
- Thrombosis;
- Pulmonary embolism;
- AVC;
- Infarction;
- Nausea and vomiting;
- Headache;
- Tiredness and fatigue.
In the presence of these symptoms, the use of hCG should be discontinued and the physician should be sought for a re-evaluation of the treatment.
Contraindications of hCG
The use of hCG is contraindicated in cases of menopause, polycystic ovaries, gynecological haemorrhages and tumors in the pituitary or hypothalamus. Therefore, it is very important to go to the doctor and do tests to evaluate health conditions and be authorized to start the hCG diet.
