Identifying The Actual Truth About The HCG Diet

By Supreet Y Sandhu


Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, commonly referred to as the hCG diet, is nothing that is new. Also called the hormone of pregnancy, the solution has been applied to dieting regimes since the 1950s. In recent times, it has resurged as a big fad in America, a country in which much of population is looking to shed weight. Unlike many other weight-loss programs, this works and that is the positive truth about the hCG diet.

Although there are many claims about its effectiveness in this realm, the FDA does not approve of it being used for weight loss. It was created as a way to treat infertile women. The FTC has placed tough regulations on marketing for the drug. Likewise, physicians cannot advertise this drug for weight loss. Still, it is widely accessible for this use.

Most of the issues for this drug relate to the possibly harmful effects and the low calorie intake. American society is focused on quick and easy treatments for weight loss. This obsession only fuels the flame and has lowered the likelihood for hCG being widely considered a healthy strategy for managing weight.

During the mid-twentieth century, an obesity researcher named Doctor Albert Simeons, shared his research on the efficiency of hCG when used as a weight-loss supplement. This did not garner as much attention as was expected and was not popular by the time of the 1960s. The doctor said hCG is effect because it resets the hypothalamus and changes how the human body burns fat.

In the research he performed, he noted that there are three types of fat in the body: structural, abnormal and reserve. Reserve is that which is used as nutritional income and fuels the muscles, and regulates body temperature. Structural is what fills the gaps and offers protection to organs and bones. Abnormal kind is meant to be the reserves but gets trapped. Simeons thought that the hCG was capable of unlocking the ability of the body to burn the trapped fat.

The individuals who follow with this diet should consume 500 calories and the supplement. At this point, they are not expected to experience hunger pains because the body will live on calories from the trapped fat. It is suggested that this stage in process only go for 21 to 40 days.

This diet can act as a healthy and successful way to lose weight. Still, the right steps must be done and counsel from a professional physician is a must. Patients must be screened and monitored from the very beginning. The beginning steps will be closely tracked by the doctor and transitioning to normal eating habits and activity should be done slowly. The diet does not instill good eating habits in people, so behavioral modification must be done guaranteeing the weight does not come back.

People who want to do this technique can get positive results. In addition to looking better, they will also feel better and reduce ailments that come with being overweight: high C-reactive protein, cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose. The positive truth about the hCG diet centers around this: it benefits people who remain dedicated and work closely with a trained physician through the process.
