5 Special Scary Diet Programs, don't test that

  5. The HCG diet:

The HCG diet has been around for years. Her protocol is a 500-calorie-a-day diet with injections of a medication called Human Chorionic Gonadatropin. This injection is actually a fertility drug that is extracted from the urine of a pregnant woman. This diet has many supporters, but like all crazy diet plans, this diet also has side effects - fatigue, irritability, and depression. Not to mention swollen breasts in men.
