The HCG diet was discovered around the 1930s. It is a chemical found in a woman’s body when pregnant. One of the functions is it guarantees that the growing fetus receives the appropriate calories and nutrients needed. It was also found to be helpful when taken by boys experiencing delays in adolescence or genital development. Dr. A.T.W. Simeons noticed that boys that were treated with HCG lost excess weight and ate much less. He then shifted its potential to diets. With two decades of research to back him up he published a piece on its effects, and developed a diet with it.

In the diet you take an amount of drops under the tongue daily for so many days, others opt to do injections. Aside from the HCG drops, dieter’s are advised to lower the calorie intake to just 500 calories a day after the third dose. However the treatment must stop when the excess weight is lost, since HCG only works on stored fat. Although the diet seems to accomplish its objective, it has many side effects; such as headaches, blood clots, depression and constipation.

One way to discover whether or not you are having constipation from the HCG diet is to pay attention to how hard it is to go when you do have a bowel movement. Do you have to push or strain? That is one of those signs that you may be needing constipation relief.
