The HCG shots are not the only things in the HCG diet, of course. Since this is a diet, one is told to maintain only 500 calories a day in a high protein diet throughout the duration of the treatment. This can be taxing to some people, especially vegetarians. One can expect to feel some side effects: they may feel weak after some time because of the controlled calorie intake, and could experience a lot of headaches. That’s not something to be discouraged about, however. Dr. Simeons specifically states that the HCG diet should be supported by vitamin supplements and that’s where the B12 therapy can help you out.
Injections of Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 injections for weight loss have long been around now. Vitamin B12 helps boosts one’s energy levels, thus aiding one’s efforts in exercising to lose weight. In this case, however, you don’t exercise because of the low calorie requirement of the HCG diet. Vitamin B12 can still help in boosting your energy: when you’re B12 deficient (which you’re sure to be because of the diet in the HCG therapy), intaking vitamin B12 will give you a boost in energy thus sustaining you through the entire treatment. A bonus: sleepless or insomnia can be addressed as well by taking B12 injections because the B-complex vitamins help in regulating sleep patterns and improve sleep quality.
If you’re wondering how you can lose weight effectively, look no further. You have the HCG and vitamin B12 therapies to help you out with that. Put these two together and stay with the treatment and you’re sure to see results in no time!
