Homeopathic HCG Weight Loss Drops – Are There Any Side Effects?
HCG is a hormone produced by women when they are pregnant. Have you ever wondered about whether it has any side effects? If you have ever looked the web, you’ll find some information on HCG side effects, and some side effects sound like they could be serious (gynecomastia, anyone?). You can rest easy, because those lists almost always refer to extremely high-dosage uses of HCG. HCG for weight loss requires a much lower dosage, so the side effects aren’t as severe.
Remember that since HCG diet drops aren’t prescription strength, they tend to be easier on your body’s natural way of working. Based on everything we have seen, there are no worrisome side effects known to be associated with homeopathic HCG itself. The most common side effects experienced by those using HCG drops for weight loss really come from the accompanying diet.
If you’re like most people getting started with the HCG diet for the first time, you likely have some big changes to your diet in your immediate future. First off you won’t be eating any more sugar, fat, or oil, not even the tiniest bit. Secondly, you’re only taking in 500 calories per day through your mouth–the rest is obtained from the stored fat your body will be burning. Even though you’ll be receiving the help of HCG, your body will still have some adjusting to go through.
Even though the body is getting a sufficient amount of energy from your stored fat that’s being burned, the stomach gets much less food than it usually did before. Besides, the food is, for most people, very different from what most participants are used to.
The straight fact is that your digestive system will undergo a time of adjustment. Some of the symptoms you may have are:
* At some point during the first several days of the low-calorie diet some people experience headaches. To treat it, any normal, over-the-counter pain killer can be used.
* Mild dizziness is not unusual, but it generally disappears by the time you get to the second week.
* It’s not unusual for bowel movements to come less frequently when you’re on the 500-calorie diet, even only one time per 2 to 4 days. Although this isn’t true constipation, some people do get real constipation. You should take a mild, sugar-free laxative if this happens to you.
* The HCG diet is somewhat low on potassium, which may result in occasional leg cramps. This can be prevented by taking regular potassium supplements.
* It is normal for toxins to be released into your body as fat is consumed. These toxins are easily eliminated, but they can build up faster than usual because of the unbelievable speed at which your body consumes fat on the HCG diet. The result is a minor rash.
If you experience any symptom that concerns you or a bad headache that takes longer than 10 days, you need to consult with a physician.
If you’re still worried, realize that many people don’t feel any side effects at all, and those who do say that they’re generally mild. Most of them can be avoided with easy-to-find medication or supplements. You will develop a great sense of accomplishment when you see the scales drop every day!
