What are the side effects of the HCG program?
There are no known side effects from the use of HCG. Given the short period of time that is spent on the diet it is rare to have any side effects. There have been reports of headaches the first few days on the program and this symptom typically resolves itself by the second week on the diet. The headache can be attributed to the changes being made in the diet causing a detoxifying effect, mostly from all the sugars, additives and preservatives we take in on a daily basis. Taken dietary supplements like B-12 and other vitamins can help to ensure that the body continues to receive all the nutrients it needs. Professional monitoring is recommended to make sure the body is responding properly. Monitoring is also recommended to make sure there are no drastic changes in blood pressure, blood sugar, and electrolyte status.
