Hcg hormone diet safe

Common Questions and Answers about Hcg hormone diet safe

hormone

Avatar f tn Hi! As you may already know, HCG is the "pregnancy hormone". It hasn't been thoroughly studied in breastfeeding moms, and therefore can't be considered "safe". Also, generally it is not considered to be a good idea to lose weight too quickly while breastfeeding. Your best bet is to discuss the medication with your doctor. Good luck!

1560848 tn?1329487433 That is a hormone that lets you know when you are pregnant. They may give it to someone if they are having issues getting pregnant.
Avatar f tn hello i've had a pacemaker for 2 years now, can I do the hcg shots/diet??? is it safe? i am 31 years old and weigh 225 lbs. i need to lose weight and i need help.
Avatar f tn My non professional opinion HCG diet probably not a good idea and could be dangerous.. With hepatitis C you need to be under the care of a hepatoligist or an gastroenterologist experienced in HCV, hepatology and Cirrhosis. Patients with decompensated cirrhosis (moderate or severe hepatic impairment; CTP class B or C) should be referred to a medical practitioner with expertise in that condition (ideally in a liver transplant center).
Avatar n tn From what I read, the original HCG treatment consisted of daily shots of that hormone plus an extreme diet of 500 calories, and there was no medical evidence that it worked. It got popular (as fad diets do) and now they sell homeopathic (oral) versions of the hcg that have unknown ingredients and doses. Fad diets don't work and are dangerous for diabetics. I know it is hard to lose weight at your mother's age.
Avatar f tn What are Doctors thinking about the HCG injections for weight loss? Is is safe and does it work? I am considering a diet that says its a miracle hormone. I'd like to hear from some Medical Doctors please..
Avatar f tn I have asthma but i would like to start the HCG weightloss diet . I was wondering by me having asthma and taking the Hcg drops would cause any side effects or any future health problems?
1088509 tn?1352236247 has anyone heard of the hcg diet my friends friend is doing it and has lost sooo much weight. is it safe and will you gain the weight back once you stop???
Avatar f tn I am making a statement rather than a question. In 2008 I started doing the HCG diet. I lost weight but in June of 2008 I was diagnosed with hormone positve invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer. I had my annual mammogram in June of 07 and in June of 08 I felt a lump. I can't help but thinking it caused the hormone pos. breast cancer to grow quite fast. It was probably already there. They say cancer can be in our bodies up to 7 years. Since they use HCG for infertility it makes sense.
Avatar f tn It is possible that you could be pregnant. The home pregnancy tests look for the presence of the pregnancy hormone hCG in the urine. If the hormone level is not high enough to be detected you can get a negative result. The tests are most accurate 1 week after the first day of your missed period. Additionally you should test with the first urine of the morning. This is usually the most concentrated, and therefore has the highest level of the hormone.
Avatar f tn I'm going to guess that you are right. There's a very strict diet that goes along with hcg diet, which I don't believe is good under any circumstances, but with your lupus the diet could have serious effects. My daughter has lupus - I'd rather see her a bit over weight.
Avatar f tn About a year and a half ago I took a hormone called hcg sublingually for weight loss purposes. After wards I began to suffer terrible symptoms such as bone pain, pain everywhere, tingling, numbness, and loss if sensation through out my body. The diet also suggests that you eat less than 800 calories a day. I should also add that I was a vegetarian for 3 years before then, but began eating fish around the time of the diet.
425962 tn?1285086458 So I know tons of people in my area that are losing tons of weight(I'm talkin TONS) on this "HcG Diet"... What are your thoughts on this? Do you think its dangerous? If you do know anything about it, or about someone who has done it, please share. Thx!
Avatar n tn I am on the Hcg diet and have started itching all over? Anybody know anything? or had this happen to you?
Avatar f tn A 500 calorie diet is a starvation diet and is not safe. Your body can not live on 500 calories/day.
Avatar n tn Taking HCG for diet reasons is a cheat and easy way out. The only true way to lose weight is to diet right and healthy and to work out.
Avatar m tn I am on the hcg diet, I ate by protocol all day but when I got hom I was locked out and when I finally got in to the house I was really hungry and unprepared. My kids ate chicken nuggets, thanks grandma! But I ate 1 turkey weenie on a bun with mustarf and ketchup. The turkey weenies are 45 cals each and 1 gram of fat. Do you think I will be okay or now have a delayed in my weight loss?
Avatar n tn is it possible that you are further in to your pregnancy than 8 weeks? I ask this because HCG levels during the first trimester will peak sometime around 9 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, at somewhere around 25,700 to 288,000 mIU/ml. By the final weeks of the first trimester week 13 and 14, hCG levels are finally on the decline, and will be at around 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml. From there, hCG levels tend to continue the downward change into the second trimester.
1936698 tn?1333915193 At 31 weeks your hormone levels are not being looked at anymore. By hormone levels I think you mean HCG. In early pregnancy if a Dr. is trying to tell if you are pregnant or if they are unsure if you are having a miscarriage or not they will look at your HCG levels. These levels should double every 48-72 hours, if they do not it is usually a bad sign. After they can see baby on the Ultrasound and get a strong Heartbeat they will stop taking these HCG levels.
Avatar m tn She is involved with HCG diet which is not good for thyroid, so no wander that her goiter is getting bigger and bigger, it soon may look like a kangaroo pouch
Avatar f tn ve also had incredible improvement in MS symptoms since doing the HCG diet. I felt like my old self while on the diet, and now that I've been off for awhile, I still feel fantastic! I'm going to talk to my doctor about how often I can take the hormone, even once I've lost all the weight.
Avatar n tn Are you wanting to know if the HCG diet is safe for someone with Hep C? Please advise and our members can respond.
Avatar f tn The worst thing about a drastic plan such as the hcg diet, is that you will most likely gain back all of the lost weight as soon as you go off the diet; possibly even gaining more yet. Weight loss through a good diet and exercise program is the healthiest way to go and making life style changes that you can live with from now will help guarantee continued success. Best of luck to you.
