Weight gain is a global problem, and we are all looking for solutions. Fast and decisive solutions. To meet this ever-increasing need, pharmaceutical companies and dieticians invent system after system. This makes us living in confusion. Are these systems effective and safe?
Today we will be dealing with a new system. It is the Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin HCG. What is this system? Is it safe and effective?
This system is based on weight loss products that contain HCG, the hormone that is secreted during pregnancy.
The fact that these products - which are available without a prescription - is not always effective and safe, so the Food and Drug Administration has advised consumers to avoid these products.
Because human chorionic gonadotropin is a medically prescribed drug, used primarily to treat fertility problems, has not been approved for over-the-counter use, has not been proven effective for weight loss, and companies that sell human chorionic gonadotropin without prescription in the form of products To lose weight, the law breaks through this act.
Why is there much controversy about the HCG diet?
Perhaps because the diet recommends reducing calories to the minimum - just 500 to 800 calories per day only, and people who follow a diet with very little calories, they are likely to lose weight in a short period at least.
What are the health problems caused by this system?
Despite this rapid effect, diets that significantly reduce calories have risks such as gallstones, irregular heartbeat, and electrolyte imbalances.
Side effects of dietary HCG, including fatigue, irritability, depression, accumulation of fluid (pulmonary edema), swelling of the breasts in boys and men (gynecomastia) have also been reported. Another serious problem is the risk of blood clots and vasodilation Blood (venous thromboembolism).
If your goal is to lose weight, there are safer ways to lose weight. Talk to your doctor or other health care provider about how to make healthy changes to lose weight continuously, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise.
