Question: I am about to start the hCG weight loss diet and would like to know if it is safe. Will it make my hair fall out? ~ Sam Allen, TX

Answer: hCG was discovered in the early 1900s and been researched as a method of weight loss since the 1950s. hCG was made famous by Dr. Simeon and his patients reported 0.4 to 2 lbs of pure fat loss per day on the hCG diet protocol. The only side effects include headaches. This is identical to the reason a pregnant woman gets a headache. Research suggests that if a woman had headaches while pregnant then she will more than likely have headaches on the hCG diet protocol.

In 1974 the FDA released their findings on hCG. Although it was said to be an unsafe form of weight loss, no side effects or damage to the body was noted. Additionally, hCG injections were approved to help with female fertility. Further reading into their research it should be understood that they used “weight loss” as a measurement and not “body fat decrease”.

Every single person will lose weight on a very low calorie diet such as the hCG weight loss diet; however, patients on the hCG protocol will lose a much larger percent of body fat than those on a placebo.

To answer your question directly, no, using hCG for weight loss will not lead to hair loss.

HCG Diet and Man-Boobs

Question: Can HCG injections lead to man boobs?

Answer: In short, no. In fact research shows that it reduces abnormal fat deposits in the breasts of men aka Man Boobs.

Since the 1960′s hCG injections have been used as a method to reduce the amount of abnormal fat in the human body. Dr. Simeon developed the hCG diet protocol. Strictly adhering to this protocol is essential in losing body fat. Patients on the hCG diet often report 0.4 – 2 pounds of body fat lost per day on the HCG diet.

The theory behind the hCG diet is that hCG will increase the fat banking capacity of the hypothalamus which will allow for the metabolization of abnormal fat deposits in periods of very low caloric intake.

Since man boobs are the accumulation of abnormal fat in the breasts of men the hCG diet protocol will metabolize man boobs instead of contributing to them. Additionally, it is incorrect to assume that hCG is a sex hormone. It was given its name which has incorrect sex hormone connotation at the turn of the 20th century when a pair of scientists noticed that injections of hCG will make infantile rats fertile.
