HCG Weight Loss Drops - Things to Know About Side Effects

If you've ever tried to do some research about the side effects of HCG weight loss drops, you may have encountered a list that may have surprised you. Don't worry. Those lists are usually copied from some other website by people who don't know what they're talking about and can't be bothered to do some real research. When the HCG diet first started becoming popular about two years ago, people didn't know much about the side effects of HCG weight loss drops, so they copied a list from the only place they could find—a list of side effects from the extremely high-dosage medical uses of HCG. The HCG diet requires much smaller amounts than those other uses, which means that the side effects are fewer and less severe.

Homeopathic HCG weight loss drops have even fewer side effects than other forms of HCG thanks to the special way it's made. In fact, there are no known side effects from homeopathic HCG weight loss drops. This is due to the fact that homeopathic HCG weight loss drops are not prescription strength—instead it's a natural solution that's much easier on your body. The only known side effects you'll experience while using homeopathic HCG weight loss drops come from the significant change in diet—not the HCG weight loss drops.

Although the vast majority of people report having very little trouble with the restricted HCG diet, your body will almost certainly have to adjust to some rather significant changes very quickly. You'll go from eating anything, anytime, to suddenly eating from a limited list of foods in smaller amounts. Again, most people don't find this overly difficult because of the HCG weight loss drops adjusting their system—but your body still has to become accustomed to the change, the biggest being the rather abrupt lack of any sugar entering your body.

In addition to the food being different than what you may have been accustomed to, your stomach and intestines just have less food in them most of the time while you're taking HCG weight loss drops. Your body isn't used to getting the fuel it requires from your stored fat supply.

Here is the list of possible symptoms you'll experience from the diet:

  • Mild dizziness. This symptom is not uncommon, and it usually goes away by the time you get to the second week.
  • Headache. It's fairly common to experience a headache at some point during the first week or so of the 500-calorie diet. Any regular, over-the-counter pain medication may be used to treat it.
  • Constipation. On the 500-calorie diet, it’s expected for bowel movements to occur less often, even only one time per 3 days or so. This isn’t true constipation. However, sometimes people do get real constipation. If it happens to you, you can take a mild, sugar-free laxative.
  • Rash (rare). Anytime your body burns fat, normal toxins are released into your body before being eliminated. Because of the extreme speed at which your body consumes fat while taking HCG weight loss drops, these toxins can build up and cause a minor rash before being eliminated.
  • Leg cramps (rare). Cramps can sometimes strike due to the low levels of potassium in the core phase diet. Potassium supplements should be used to treat this symptom.

However, if you experience any symptom that causes you worry or a serious headache lasting longer than 10 days, you should consult with your doctor.

You don't need to worry overly much. These side effects do not affect everybody, and those who are affected find the symptoms mostly easy to deal with. We are constantly hearing from people who never have any side effects, and even feel better than ever before due to the effect of HCG weight loss drops.
