Can I Continue Taking HCG Drops If Having Vomiting?

i have been on the hcg drops for 4 days. Today all of a sudden i became very sick and started vomiting. Have not felt good since then. I have drank a diet coke and eaten other foods that are not on the diet trying to settle my stomach. Should I continue to take the drops?

Hello! Thank you for writing! I absolutely don't recommend you to continue hcg drops. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has advised consumers to steer clear of over-the-counter weight-loss products that contain HCG. HCG is human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone produced during pregnancy.

As a prescription medication, HCG is used mainly to treat fertility issues. HCG is not approved for over-the-counter use, nor has it been proved to work for weight loss. Companies that sell over-the-counter HCG weight-loss products are breaking the law.
Side effects have also been reported with the HCG diet and include fatigue, irritability, restlessness, depression, fluid buildup (edema), and swelling of the breasts in boys and men (gynecomastia). Another serious concern is the risk of blood clots forming and blocking blood vessels (thromboembolism).
Try to eat healthy and exercise. It is the best way to lose weight, to keep the weight you have lost, and ti love and nourish your body. Your body is the only place you will live for the rest of your life, take care of it in a healthy way. Try to eat a high protein diet with cheese, egg, cottage cheese, milk chicken, fish and less carbohydrates such as bread, rice, cookies, spaghetti, desserts. Exercise daily, go for jogging, swiming, enjoy nature that is a cure for your body and soul.
An idea for a healthy breakfast from 150 kcal until 250 kcal
One slice of integral bread 40 gram is about 90-100 kcal max
A little bit of avocado, or olive pate or cheese cream or peanut butter or gongorzola or tahin is about 20-40 kcal
Pomodorini, rucola, spinach, is about 10-15 kcal
Strawberries or 1/4 banane 20-30 kcal
Some combinations: 1 a slice of bread with cottage cheese and 1/4avocado 170 kcal
2.A slice of bread with avocado and tomatoe 160 kcal
3. A slice if bread with egg and cottage cheese 190 kcal
4. A slice of bread with tahini and 2 strawberries 150 kcal
5. A slice of bread with peanut butter and 1/4 banane 160 kcal
Best regards. Wish you good health.
