HCG diet side effects. Are there any side effects to this popular diet? Well yes there one big side effect…WEIGHT LOSS! OK, OK, I’m done being “cute”.

When asked about HCG diet dangers or side effects I usually just say, “no, not really.” And that’s really the case. Sure, a couple people have reported a small amount of hair loss, but that is more contributed to the low calorie diet and NOT the HCG. Plus once they are off the low calorie diet the hair comes right back. Keep in mind that hair loss is VERY uncommon and shouldn’t be a concern.

Now one side effect that can be common is the feeling of being constipated. The reason many people think they are constipated while on the diet is because they don’t go to the bathroom as regularly as they used to so they think they are constipated. But in reality they are eating a lot less calories and therefore go to the bathroom a lot less frequently and it’s completely normal and there is nothing “wrong” with them and they are not constipated.

I’ve also heard about some complications from the injections and you should never do HCG injections unless you are doctor supervised. That is why I have always suggested the oral HCG drops over the injections. I buy my drops from here: http://www.PureHCGDiet.com/HCG-Diet/

So to be safe on the HCG diet all you have to do is be very aware of your situation and possibly avoid the injections and go with the oral HCG drops instead.

Another issue to watch out for is the issue of your own personal health issues. For example, those with health issues like hypoglycemia need to make adjustments to the HCG diet and plan accordingly. It’s always recommended to talk with your doctor before starting any diet plan and this is no different.

But really in the end the diet is pretty much completely safe for most participants. I would imagine there are a lot more dangers in just going to the gym to workout. That’s something to consider!

So with a little bit of awareness you can complete the HCG diet without any serious dangers. But check with your doctor if you have any out of the ordinary health issues.

Good luck!
