Question : Hello does the HCG diet make your period late?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (47 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Yes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
HCG diet is a weight loss diet. A sudden weight loss affects the hormonal balance of the body and delays the period. Once you resume a normal diet your periods will gradually resume on their own.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
