HCG and Weight LossPosted by kaidmin in weight loss , migraines , kidney problems , heart problems , HCG Dangers , HCG , fluid retention , FDA warning , Fat , epilepsy , diet , appetite |
Many doctors and patients are recommending HCG for rapid weight loss. Don’t be fooled. All this promotes is a decreased appetite and many patients only lose weight because they are starving themselves by restricting their caloric intake to 500 or less. When the body perceives itself as starving, it will burn muscle in order to conserve fat.
There are also concerns about its safety. The following is the official FDA warning:
"HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets."
