Are hCG diet injections safe? Ummm.... I don't know. Let me tell you what I do know.
1. To go on a diet that involves hCG shots means you will only eat 500 calories a day and inject yourself with a hormone that is prevalent withing pregnant women for about 30 days.
2. The FDA has not approved this hormone for diets but rather to help women get pregnant.
3. It is claimed that hCG shots will allow you to digest your fat deposits that your body doesn't normally access.
Is diet and exercise finally a thing of the past? Do we not need to work out any more? There are a couple questions you should ask when doing a diet: 1. Is it safe? 2. Is it sustainable? 3. Is there a better way? Many experts would answer 'no' to all but question 3 on the list there. There is a quote that comes to mind when considering this diet:
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. - Beverly Sills
Of course Beverly could be wrong and I'm willing to bet that she doesn't know what hCG diet injections are so she may not be a good reference on that. Anyways, don't rush into a diet without consulting a doctor.
