IS SAFE TAKING PREGNANCY HORMONE?

[shashaesperanto]

Desiring to lose some undesireble weight  I've been in a clinic where they sold me these ACD (pregnancy hormone) pills. (I'M NOT PREGNANT)
The idea is: For a certain period I would go through a special diet rich in protein (no carbs) and meanwhile my body "thinking I'm pregnant" would start to get "food" from my body. Eating my fatness. So  there  I'd start to loose weight.
My questions are:
Is that safe?
Would that somehow mess up my hormone system?
What the side effects?
Thank you so much;. God bless you.

Taking hormones for unneccessary/unnatural reasons can really screw your body up. I agree with the above poster.  THe best way to lose weight is to change your diet and excercise. Use portion control and eat healthier foods.

I don't think its wise to put such hormones into your body.It will definitely have some effect on your system esp your reproductive system.Iget the sense of what its supposed to do but fooling your body into thinking u r pregnant?that can't be good.
If you want to lose weight why don't u try healthier ways of doing it like exercise and a balanced diet?
God bless
