The diet that has taken the world by storm is the HCG Diet. The use of HCG hormone injections and the low 500 calorie diet is getting many people on board with losing weight in order to make their lives more healthy. However, what many people wonder is who is the good candidates for this diet? After all, this diet is not for everyone, especially those that could lose weight through the use of proper diets and exercise.
Those that are at least ten pounds or more over weight and have tried those other diets in the past, are going to find that they qualify for the HCG diet more so then other people. The reason is that their body is no longer responding to other diets, which means that the times to try something drastic is here, and the person must do so in order to make sure that they have a healthy, and long life. Those that utilize the HCG diet must also have the desire to lose weight and stick to the problem. If they find that they are sneaking snacks or cheating on other aspects of the diet, then they are not going to succeed with the diet, and this is not going to help them lose weight.
Those who wish to start the HCG diet should consider the following:
- Are you 10 pounds or more overweight?
- Are you ready to make lifestyle changes to live healthier?
- Can you commit to a very low calorie diet while on HCG?
Those that do use the HCG diet should have no serious health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. The reason is that the calorie intake and the drastic weight loss could be a way in which to worsen these problems. Thus, healthy people who are simply overweight should be the people that are utilizing the diet. However, the doctor is the ultimate decision maker in this scenario and they are the ones that will recommend the person for the diet or not. Therefore, never start the diet on your own, but rather make sure that your doctor agrees.

Who should not use the HCG Diet?
There is a program that will allow someone to lose a pound every day that they utilize the diet, while shedding complete sizes by the end of the month. Those that have utilized the HCG Diet make these claims each and every day. They are adamant that their weight loss was only successful through the use of HCG and the 500 calorie diet. But is this the kind of diet that is for everyone?
Those that are just having a hard time losing a few vanity pounds are not good candidates for this diet. Those people that are considered good candidates are those that are around ten pounds or more overweight. The reason is that that the diet continues for the month in which about a pound is dropped every day.
Another person who should not use the HCG Diet are those that are having heart problems. The HCG is not going to cause the problem, however, the 500 calorie diet may be the reason that many people with heart problems increase the frequency of these problems and so forth. Those with diabetes are also going to find that the 500 calorie diet is a bit harder for them, though it could prove to regulate their blood sugar much better.
Here are some other people who may want to avoid the HCG diet:
- Women with ovarian cysts
- Those with Diabetes Type 1
- Men with testicular or prostate cancer
- Women should not take HCG during the first 2 days of their period
- HCG has been known to aggravate gout (If you want to take HCG and have gout be sure to take vitamins along with Potassium Gluconate)
- The HCG diet has also been known to aggravate people with gall bladder issues because of the low fat intake.
Though, there seems to be a whole bunch of people who are not qualified to use this diet, there are still many of those that are qualified and do
find that they completely change their lives when they do use the diet. For those that are considering it, they should talk to the doctor in order to determine if they qualify or not.
In over 60 years of testing and people using HCG there have never been deaths or valid claims of serious side effects. There are many false claims on the internet which never actually cite any negative cases. Remember, it is always best to consult with a physician before starting any new diet program.
