About HCG Side-effects

It will be thoughtless to say the HCG weight reduction method has no side-effects. DR. ATW Simeons, The founder of the HCG weight program, himself identified potential HCG side-effects that you should be prepared to deal with. You can expect dizziness, some nausea, and minor headaches and possibly some slight physical weakness especially during the fist days of the program. To HCG advocates will always users to immediately seek medical attention should these side-effects happen frequently and with increasing intensity.

Some detractors of the program will portray a more dangerous scenario. They see dieters suffering from much more serious side-effects like incessant vomiting, terrible headaches and possible complete breakdown of both mental and physical processes due to massive loss of muscle mass and protein in the vital organs of the body. By their estimation you will suffer an extended stay in a hospital should you insist on following the HCG low calorie diet which they view as unsafe.

In the sixty years of existence of the program no reports have ever came out giving credence to the fears of detractors. This is probably because the potential of a dieter ending up in a hospital had been considered all along. The program incorporates within its implementation timeframe a special period formulated particularly for preventing such a disaster from happening. This period is often referred to as the load –up period. This is a three-day calorie consumption binge where you are allowed eat all the calorie filled foods you can afford to consume. The first day of this period coincides with the first day of the 23 day HCG ingestion period. The purpose of the load-up period is obvious: ensure that your body has enough stocks of calories you can draw adequate energy from to last you until the last day of the program.

As long as you do the three-day load-up period, HCg advocates see you effortlessly sailing through the HCG calorie starved period. And you are not even expected to experience especially difficult times with the diet as the hormone, aside being able to alter the metabolism of the body, also has the ability to lessen hunger fangs.
