Experiencing The Actual Facts About The HCG Diet

By Supreet Y Sandhu


Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is now employed for weight loss treatment, known as the hCG diet. Also referred to as the hormone of pregnancy, this solution has been used for dieting since the middle of the twentieth century. Still, it has resurged in recent years. Unlike other similar regimes, the positive truth about the hCG diet lies in its overall effectiveness.

People note its efficacy, but hCG is not approved to be used as a weight loss drug by the FDA. It was originally developed as a way to treat infertility in females. The FTC now enforces strict regulations when it comes to marketing this drugs. Furthermore, doctors cannot advertise its use for weight loss, although it still accessible for this use.

Most of the controversy associated with this drug used for losing weight comes from the heavy restrictions required on calories, as well as the potentially negative side effects. There has been so much hype and obsession in American society over quick weight-loss programs. This has added fuel to the flames and burned the potential of hCG becoming a tool used for healthy management of weight.

In the 1950s, Doctor Albert T W Simeons, an obesity researcher, published his studies on the effectiveness of hCG as a supplement for weight loss along with a restrictive diet. It did not gain as much attraction as expected and fell out of popularity with the 1960s. Doctor Simeons said the Gonadotropin works by resetting the hypothalamus in the brain and switching up how the body burns its fat.

In his work, he made note of the three kinds of fat present in the human body: structural fat, reserve fat and abnormal fat. Structural refers to that which fills the gaps to offer protection around the bones and organs. Reserve is the fat that is used as nutritional income, fuel for the muscles and a regulator of body temperature. Then there is the abnormal kind that should act as reserves but is trapped. Simeons believed that the hCG allowed the body to burn trapped fat.

Dieters following this regime are encouraged to take the supplement with a diet of 500 calories. At this stage, they would not feel hunger pains because the body is living on the calories from the fat that is trapped. It is recommended that this stage only be done for 21 to 40 days.

This can be a diet that is successful and healthy. However, it starts with making the correct steps and having professional aid from a physician. People should be screened and monitored at the beginning of the process and throughout. It is especially important for the doctor to regulate in the initial stages and when individuals transition back to their normal activities and eating habits they must do so gradually. The diet does not teach one good eating habits so behavioral changes must be made to guarantee that the weight is not gained back.

Those who take on this diet may find success. In addition to looking better, they will reduce the number of ailments associated with this disease, such as: high blood pressure, blood glucose levels, cholesterol levels and C-reactive protein. The positive truth about the hCG diet: it can be effective treatment for weight loss if it is done by dedicated individuals and regulated by trained professionals.
