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.
