How Effective Is HCG Diet Treatment In Loosing Weight?
Question: Hi I have a Prolactinoma (I take Cabergoline/ I also have PCOS I take metformin for this) I put on a lot of weight due to the tumor and I have lost 20kgs but I need to lose another 20kg as we want to have a baby .. I have been on HCG diet before with the hormone injections and it worked well with me (this was before I was diagnosed) is it okay for me to go back on it?
Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
To the best of my knowledge, there is no published study that demonstrates safety and effectiveness of the hCG diet. In fact it is frowned upon by my most endocrinologists. I would not recommend it at all
