Can everybody take HCG?
No. Pregnant and nursing women should not take HCG. Type 1 diabetics should only attempt the calorie restrictions under doctor supervision. If you have gout, HCG will work, but will give you a gout attack the first week. Anyone whose BMI is under 20 doesn’t need this diet. You can only lose the abnormal (excess) fat in your body, not the structural fat and muscle your body needs to function properly. Once you reach your ideal weight, HCG stops working.
