While on most diets there are always side effects. While taking HCG Drops some people may experience different side effects. Here are a few:
Headaches- Some people may experience headaches within the first week of taking HCG. This is often caused by dehydration. It’s important to remember to drink plenty of water on the HCG diet. You are allowed to take aspirin, which can help with pain relief.
Constipation- Constipation is normal with the HCG diet. You aren’t eating high in fat or oily foods. It is normal for bowel movements to happen less often. If you experience constipation increase your water intake. This will flush out the toxins and help your bowel movements. If water isn’t helping, try Magnesium Citrate.
Fatigue- Some people may experience fatigue for the first few days. If you are feeling tired your body may need to burn more fat to create the energy it needs. You can do this by increasing your HCG dosages. You can take up to 10 drops, 6 times a day. Also taking B12 vitamins can increase your energy.
Leg Cramps- If you are experiencing leg cramping while taking HCG make sure you are drinking enough water. Cramps could be caused by dehydration. If you are drinking enough water, add potassium to your diet.
