Identifying The Actual Truth 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 how effective it is, and still hCG is not approved by the FDA for use as a weight-loss treatment. It was first developed for the purpose of treating infertility in women. The FTC has strict regulations regarding marketing for this drug. Likewise, doctors are not permitted to tout its use for weight loss, despite the accessibility of the drug for this purpose.

Most of the controversy of this drug being used for weight loss is relevant to the high restrictions it places on calorie intake and the potentially harmful side effects. There has been an ongoing obsession and hype in the American society over fast and easy weight-loss treatments. This only adds fuel to the flame and lessens the potential for hCG to actually be used as an effective and healthy option for weight management.

In the 1950s, Doctor Albert T W Simeons shared research on how effective hCG was was a weight-loss supplement when paired with a low-calorie intake. The obesity researcher did not get much attention for this information and by the 1960s, it was irrelevant. The doctor believed that hCG is able to reset the hypothalamus in the brain and change how the body burns its fat.

He noted the three kinds of fat present in the body: reserve, abnormal and structural. Reserve refers to what is essentially nutritional income. It helps fuel the muscles and regulates the temperature of the body. Structural is responsible for filling in gaps and provides protection to bones and organs. The abnormal sort is supposed to be used as reserves but this gets trapped. Simeons suggested that hCG was capable of letting this out so that the body could burn it.

The regime calls for people to take the supplement and consume a diet of only 500 calories. In this stage, people should not experience pains from hunger because the body will revert to the calories in the fat that is trapped. It is recommended that this stage not extend beyond 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.

Individuals who do this diet can find successful results. They will look better and be able to reduce the ailments that are associated with being overweight, including: high blood glucose levels, C-reactive protein, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The positive truth about the hCG diet-- it can benefit individuals who are dedicated and receive the proper support from trained doctors.
