Vickie's Viewpoint

The hCG diet is becoming so prevalent, medical professionals in day spas, naturopathic offices and clinics specializing in nothing but administering the diet are popping up as store fronts. Do you need a doctor’s supervision to follow the diet? It’s a personal choice.  There are some disadvantages of ditching the doctor and choosing to go it alone.

Here are Some Disadvantages of Doing the hCG Diet Without a Doctor…

• The most important factor is that other physical problems may be preventing weight loss or contributing to weight gain and need to be addressed before starting the hCG diet. I had two challenges that needed to be adjusted before I started losing weight on the hCG diet.

• Although the side effects of the hCG diet are few, a doctor can suggest reliable remedies. This spares us time and trial and error from internet searches and the advice of others we know on the diet.

• Sometimes it’s hard to stay focused and to motivate ourselves, especially when we hit a plateau and have days without weight loss.

• Weight loss can be more fun and easier to maintain if others are involved in the process.
