I was recently interviewed by SELF on the HCG diet.
Check out my interview below:

Special thanks to Haley Goldberg for covering such an important topic & a great interview!
In a nutshell...here's everything you need to know about this HCG diet:
1. HCG is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin aka the "pregnancy hormone"
2. The HCG diet includes receiving HCG injections plus following a very low calorie diet
3. HCG injections alone for weight loss are NOT effective. In fact the FDA has banned HCG to be taken for weight loss because it does not work and the side effects can be fatal!
4. The HCG diet only works because it involves a calorie restriction of 500-1000 calories daily. Most normal people will lose weight with just this calorie restriction alone!
5. The HCG diet is unsafe, and should be avoided especially in those with heart disease (as it has been associated with worsening heart failure)
6. Other side effects of HCG include blood clots and in some cases ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (abdominal pain, fluid in the abdomen, nausea, vomiting, etc.)
7. Please consult with your doctor before considering the HCG diet!
8. These extremely low calorie diets never have lasting results on weight loss.
9. The best way to lose weight is to exercise and diet in a healthy way (talk to your doctor or dietitian about the amount of calories that you need to lose weight!)
I hope this information helps all of you. Don't follow fads, and be as healthy and balanced with your diet as you can be!
