There is much debate regarding the topic of HCG and weight loss. As is commonly true of almost all things in life, controversy most always stems from absence of knowledge or understanding of something.
One of the best ways to learn the correct information on HCG and weight loss is to peruse Dr. Simeons’ book “Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity.” This book is founded on decades of investigation on the effects of HCG and weight loss.
Some critics believe that the diet results are achieved by simply limiting calories to 500 calories per day. The reality is that most individuals would be drained and frail attempting to survive on just 500 per day.
They would experience headaches, and it would be tough to stay energetic for very long because they would be Famished!
Dieters who follow the HCG diet plan are thrilled concerning the fact that they don’t feel hungry.
They are also not exhausted or sluggish – in fact many mention they feel better than they have in years. The weight loss they can visualize every passing day actually keeps them focused.
The secret lies in utilizing the HCG along WITH the 500 calorie a day diet, as well as eating the exact foods that make up the 500 calories.
The HCG signals the hypothalamus to let go of and put in motion abnormal reserve fat – between 3000 and 4000 calories daily. The calories required to make you feel full are derived from the reserved fat that is released.
This results in feeling full, despite the fact that you are eating less. This would not be possible on the 500 calorie per day diet by itself. It is very important that you follow Dr. Simeons’ HCG protocol as stipulated and eat just the foods that are allowed in your 500 calorie diet.
Do not be tempted to cheat on this diet.
Cheating will cause your weight loss to stall and could affect your ability to become stable at your new weight.
Another misconception with HCG and weight loss is that when you stop taking the HCG, you will simply gain back the weight. If you follow the protocol correctly, that will not happen. There are guidelines to stick to all through the maintenance phase of the diet to prevent future weight gain. When you stick to the protocol, your body’s metabolism is reset at an elevated rate.
This assists in sustaining your weight loss even when you cease to take the HCG and raise your calorie intake.
Your body will burn the surplus instead of storing it as fat.
There are two options when taking HCG to lose weight.
You can give yourself injections of the HCG, or you can take instead the homeopathic HCG drops sublingually (under the tongue). Both methods are equally effective. Dieters who have tried both the shots and the homeopathic drops know there is no difference as far as the results – just a substantial difference in cost, because the shots are extremely high-priced!
Comprehending HCG and weight loss comes down to being aware of the facts, not hearsay or unfounded opinions from uninformed individuals.
You can reach your weight loss goals when you educate yourself and follow the recommended protocol.
You only have fat to lose!
