Anyone else have weird, vivid dreams on HCG diet?
I am on my second round of HCG and I just keep dreaming every night these crazy, vivid dreams. They're not disturbing, more humorous than anything, but it makes me a little nervous about what this could do to my brain.
Hey, Izzy, call it what you want, but my Dr put me on it. He has done the diet himself. This is my second go round, my first one I lost 20 lbs. I'm only doing it once more, and I know it's extreme, but conventional dieting and exercise haven't worked for me for over 10 years. I have been to dietitian after dietitian, after doctor, hired personal trainers, etc... I have PCOS, hypothyroid, and possibly lupus, so everything in my body is fighting me losing fat no matter how hard I try. This is the only thing that has given me results. I am doing this to get some health back. Don't condemn me as falling to fad diets. I have done my research and I think this is better than gastric surgery.
And being so extreme, I haven't been tempted to cheat, it's only 20 days at a time and I don't feel hungry or lightheaded or grumpy. If anything I feel good. Lean protein, veggies, fruit... which is what I usually consume but can't lose weight, this is just smaller portions and tons of water. 20 days, 20 lbs. beats a year of 5 days a week moderate to high cardio for an hour + 3 hours / week weights and 1100 calories a day diet.

It's the lack of food...
500-calories per day is severely restrictive! In fact, it is not enough calories to support normal brain function. Your body will compensate by using stores of glycogen, protein (muscle) and some fat, which lowers your resting metabolism. Before you can lose true weight, you will be so irritable, lightheaded, and cranky that you’ll reach for whatever food you can get your hands on and have a field day.
There is no scientific evidence supporting HCG as a weight loss strategy. The FDA has required all marketing and advertising of HCG to state the following: “HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or ‘normal’ distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.”
