Women are doing this drastic thing to lose weight DON’T try this at home – Daily Star

WOMEN are resorting to ridiculous measures in order to lose weight.

GETTY

Anyone whos tried to lose weight has probably gone to a semi-drastic measure.

While diet and exercise are the tried and tested method, juice cleanses that promise 5st weight loss can often be tempting.

However, some women have taken these measures to a new level.

Reports have revealed women are injecting themselves with a pregnancy hormone in order to lose weight fast.

The chemical, called human chorionic gonadotropin, is certainly not a recommended weight loss technique and we urge you not to try this at home.

The pregnancy hormone is supposed to support weight loss of up to 30lb per month.

HCG doesnt have any approval for weight loss and we strongly recommend against it, Professor Bu Beng Yeap from the Endocrine Society of Australia said.

The chemical is mainly being sold online and these would most likely contain homoeopathic quantities.

Amazingly, these reality TV stars have lost more than 40st between them... all thanks to healthy eating and exercise

Scarlett Moffatt shows off her weight loss

The weight loss plan that comes with the chemical bought online advises dieters to eat just 500 calories per day for the initial few weeks.

Nutritionists advise if a woman is looking to lose weight she should aim to eat between 1,200 and 1,500 calories a day and then 2,000 calories to maintain her weight.

Eating just 500 calories a day is a quarter of a womans recommended daily intake, so people who do this will lose weight whether or not they are injecting themselves with the hormone.

Jade Larue West tried the diet and called it a terrible experience: It did not take me long to realise this diet was a terrible mistake.

Not only did it fail provide me with lasting results, but it also left me in a worse state than when I started. And the entire time I was on the diet, I was unhappy.

If you do want to lose weight, a healthy diet and exercise three times a week is the way to go instead of injecting yourself with unknown chemicals.

The Daily Star Online have approached a medical professional for comment.
