Both are pretty much glorified anorexia, but I guess it's okay if doctors can benefit from it, right? In my opinion, HCG diet is just better because you can stop at any time, neither are healthy or fun and are unhealthy tools to reach an ideal set by both the beauty industry and medical field.
What is it? Ways to lose weight.
Health complications: Mineral and Vitamin deficiencies, hair loss, creation of eating disorder mindset, stomach distress, heart problems, organ problems/failures, etc.
However with HCG you need to do your own research, but there are places and support groups that will help you. HCG has not been approved, but many people feel it is because it takes away from the profits of Bariatric Surgery. HCG can be dangerous if a person is not careful and does not take good care of themselves and does not make sure he or she is getting all necessary vitamins and mineral. Similarly, the same can be said for Bariatric surgery as well. The difference is a person goes through hell and can not change his or her mind after the surgery;whereas, with the HCG diet he or she can just stop taking the drops and stop the diet. It seems no different than cutting someone open and removing half his or her stomach. You will not be getting nutrients from food so it may be time consuming figuring out all the vitamins and mineral and amounts you need, but there are support groups. You will lose weight fast, but you will lose weight fast if you get surgery.
How does it work? HCG limits your calorie intake through drops that you inject into your body. Bariatric surgery is a surgical procedure that limits stomach expansion and food intake.
How many calories are you allowed? When you first begin you are allowed around 500 calories a day. As you advance you are allowed more. People make a huge deal about this, but if you have surgery you will not be eating much more than you would on the HCG diet. After a while you can up your intake.
The difference really is the fact that if you change your mind, or experience problems you can stop the HCG diet, with surgery you can't and it is permanent.
Both are silly and dangerous. Diet and exercise is the best way to lose weight. Or, you could just accept and learn to love your body. Surgery is just another form of body shaming and a way for doctors to make moneybased on a myth that a certain body size can not be healthy.
