Ugh, this sounds so drastic!
BUT, there’s buzz about it because there seems to be some legitimacy to it.
The diet goes something like this: You restrict your calorie intake to 500 a day and then inject pregnancy hormones (HCG) which remove the discomfort associated with being hungry. The end.
There├óΓé¼Γäós just one problem…
Reporters reached out to numerous doctors and none of them said there was any evidence that HCG aided in weight loss and said that it could potentially lead to harmful side effects, like blood clots, pulmonary embolism, depression, and headaches.
Still, people who try the diet lose weight.
Dr. Oz does a good job of outlining the problem with this: If you’re losing weight by eating 500 calories a day, you will have an incredibly difficult time keeping the weight off once you stop the injections!
If you don’t learn to eat right, the weight will come back!
