Is The HCG Diet Okay To Take With Warfarin?

I m probably going to be a life long user of Warfarin. I m 31 and I have been to two hematologist and I m awaiting my results of my recent tests. Both think that I ve acquired some type of blood disorder which has caused me to have 2 episodes of dvt and pe. Was on birth control since 15 same brand Ortho Novum 7/7/7. However, I ve gained a substantial amount of weight on warfarin. Both doctors think that the HCG Diet will be a good jump start to my weight loss. I ve been theraputic and will be monitoring my inr levels with self testing in a couple of weeks. Is the HCG diet okay to take with warfarin?
