I want to take the hcg diet but i have some problems with my prolactin, even though i haven´t had any treatment in more than a year i was able to balance the prolactin by taking zinc supplements, since then prolactin is ok, so can i still do the hcg diet?

1. since hCG resembles TSH hormone which can decrease prolactin levels [theoretically] [there has not been much of a co relation between HCG and prolactin , though HCG can cause reduction in prolactin levels] thus hcg diet is not recommended when you are being treated for high Prolactin level. Better not to take it while on therapy.
PS. Every diet has its side effects , so is the HCG diet, since it creates a hormonal change, I would advise you to seek help from a diet professional before starting the same
