The HCG diet has not been proved to work for weight loss.Have been reported side effects like fatigue, irritability ,restlessness also swelling of the breasts in boys .Another concern is the risk of blood clots forming and blocking blood vessels(the HCG injections ) .Anyway if u wanna keep going on the HCG diet i would suggest the oral one
