There are rarely side effects reported while using hCG shots for weight loss. When the hCG shots are used for fertility reasons, the larger amount is known to cause occasional headaches, and pregnancy symptoms. However, the amount differences between the hCG diet protocol and hCG used for fertility purposes is significantly different in quantity. Read more here.

It is recommended that dieters consult a physician concerning your weight loss, along with the appropriate implementation of the hCG protocol. The physician will NOT prescribe hCG injection for women who are pregnant or nursing. See similar questions...

hCG is a polypeptide hormone produced by the human trophoblast in the developing embryo. It is composed of alpha and beta subunits. The alpha subunit is essentially identical to the alpha subunits of human pituitary gonadotropins: luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The beta subunits of these hormones differ in their amino acid sequences. As far as its action is concerned, hCG is virtually identical to the pituitary hormone LH. See similar questions...

Most hCG dieters report a loss of 1 to 2 lbs a day. At the very least, .5 pound a day, and at the most, 3 lbs a day. 1 lb is generally lost in the first day. Factors that guarantee faster weight loss include adding/increasing vegetable intake and mixing salad with each meal. Fiber intake is extremely important, as is water intake. The original Dr. Simeons diet, (500 calorie diet or VLCD) can be found here. See similar questions...

The wavelength used by the Virulite device is very close to that of the Nd:YAG laser which has been used by doctors all over the world for several decades.

While losing 1 to 2 pounds daily without the use of hCG shots would be unhealthy, the hCG in fact changes this. The weight targeted comes from adipose tissue, rather than muscle. In other words, you lose fat and the weight loss comes directly from this fat loss and does not strip the body of much needed muscle, vitamins, or minerals essential to maintain good health.

In general, the diet has very few side effects. Nausea or constipation are the most common. While these symptoms may occur when a child first starts the diet, they generally improve or disappear with time. A few children may feel sleepy and irritable while adjusting to the diet, however, this, too, will generally pass in time. Two unusual complications are retarded growth due to nutritional deficiency and a buildup of uric acid in the blood, which can lead to kidney stones. See similar questions...

Like all medical treatments, allergy shots (immunotherapy) can have side effects. Your doctor will discuss this with you in detail. Under no circumstances should you consider allergy shots without at least an attempt at avoidance of the troublesome allergen. For instance, cat allergy shots are no substitute for cat avoidance. Some allergens, though, such as grass pollen, are almost unavoidable. See similar questions...

According to Dr. Edward Howell, "cooked, enzyme-free diets contribute to a pathological over-enlargement of the pituitary gland [which in turn] regulates the other glands". Likewise, the human pancreas is grossly hypertrophied in relation to all other members of the animal kingdom. Howell concluded that the massive size of the human pancreas is the result of a pathological adaptation to a cooked food diet. See similar questions...
