WESTON, WV–(Marketwired – February 20, 2017) – Considering the rising rates of obesity and widespread availability of diets and weight loss programs, dieters have a lot to choose from. Not all weight loss programs are made equal, however, and sometimes, losing weight fast is not worth the health consequences involved. The hCG diet has, historically, been controversial because it was initially presented as the Simeons diet, which involved combining low doses of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone produced during pregnancy, with extremely low caloric intake to promote rapid weight loss by burning “abnormal” fat, located in cells and around internal organs. The Simeons diet, also known as the original hCG diet, is dangerous because it is essentially a starvation diet that caps daily consumption to 500 calories. It leads to harmful side effects like weakness, muscle loss, and hair loss.
