Is HCG Diet Safe While Having Lupus?
A close friend who does need to lose weight is utilizing the hcg diet, which I find disturbing because she has lupus. Granted she barely listens to doctors orders as she insists her 3-4x a week of drinking several beers is fine. What can the consequences be of this rapid weight loss plan with lupus?

it is definitely not recommended to go in for rapid weight loss, if a person has lupus,
there are cases when autoimmune problems have been activated or worsened with these kind of diets.
