HCG DIET INFORMATION

The HCG diet has been receiving a great deal of attention lately, yet, it actually is not a new concept. In fact, the use of HCG as a diet aid was first discussed in a report that Dr. A.T.W. Simeons published in 1954. The use of this diet did not catch on right away and just recently has become recognized as effective. Today, it is referred to as “The weight loss cure”, and an increasing number of dieters are turning to HCG to help them lose those unwanted pounds.

Dr. Simeons noticed that his patients could drastically reduce their caloric intake without experiencing irritability, hunger pains, headaches, or weakness while also taking HCG. As Dr. Simeons continued his research, he found that an HCG injection did more than just help his patients lose weight. In fact, he found that the injections also helped to naturally reshape his patient’s bodies even if they did not engage in exercise while on the diet. Dr. Simeons concluded that this was because the patients lost their fat tissue from adipose tissue accumulations, which made changes in the body shape more visible. What people were losing wasn’t simply weight, but fat, a particular kind of fat.

We generally think of fat as just “fat,” but in fact there are three distinct kinds of fat, two of which we need, and one we don’t. If you’ve tried dieting, perhaps diet after diet, and found that the weight comes back, it’s because diets can’t rid us of the one kind of fat that most needs to be eliminated.

Dr. Simeons' research resulted in concluding that there were 3 different types of fat stored in the body:

- Structural Fat (between organs, etc.) - Normal Fat (freely used for fuel when needed) - Abnormal Fat (locked away and not available for use by the metabolism until the other 2 kinds of fat are depleted)

Diets don't normally work for those with Abnormal Fat stores because they lose the wrong kind of fat while dieting. HCG works at the metabolic level to release these abnormal fat stores into the bloodstream to be used as fuel, and this is why a VLCD (very low calorie diet) is needed to accompany the HCG dosage.

Thousands of calories in stored fat are released, and are used by the body or expelled. To keep the fat cells from immediately taking in more fat, the very low fat VLCD is necessary.

When an obese patient tries to reduce by starving himself, he will first lose his normal fat reserves. When these are exhausted he begins to burn up structural fat.

The fat they have come to detest stays on and the fat they need to cover their bones gets less and less. Their skin wrinkles and they look old and miserable. And that is one of the most frustrating and depressing experiences a human being can have.

Once HCG is introduced, it triggers a response in a part of the brain called the "diencephalon" to go ZAP the FAT. A person could lose 20 pounds of abnormal fat in a month.

The reason hCG works for weight loss is the abnormal fat that is currently 'locked away' and unavailable to the body becomes available for energy in the same way a pregnant woman is able to utilize her body fat.

It only works, however, if external dietary fat is strictly reduced and the protocol developed by Dr. Simeons is followed exactly to allow the process of burning internal abnormal fat to occur.

Most HCG Weight-loss participants see a loss in girth (inches) before they see any substantive drop in the scales. HCG weight loss studies have shown that weight lost following the Simeons protocol comes directly from adipose fat tissue rather than lean muscle. In doing so, the weight lost comes directly from fat and does not strip the body of much needed muscle, vitamins or minerals essential to maintain good health, while at the same time, releasing excessive amounts of fat-stored nutrients into the blood stream to be absorbed by the body. As the HCG metabolizes stored body fat, about 2000 calories are released into the bloodstream, thus allowing for a low calorie per day diet without experiencing fatigue, weakness or hunger.

The genius of Dr. Simeons was to recognize that HCG triggers the body to burn this type of fat. It appears to reset the hypothalamus gland, along with areas of the brain that regulate a variety of hormones, blood sugar metabolism, blood pressure, and other key body functions.

Conditions such as Diabetes and PCOS make it hard to lose weight, HCG could help!

How does it work?
The HCG diet consists of daily injections of HCG. It is similar to what a diabetic person does when they inject insulin daily. In addition to this, you will need to reduce your caloric intake to just 500 calories per day. Generally you eat a meal of lean meat, chicken, fish, shrimp or lobster, one fruit and one vegetable, two times a day. (There are a few exceptions.) Obviously, you would be able to lose weight with a 500 calorie diet even if you weren’t getting HCG hormone treatments. If you cut back to this many calories without the help of HCG, however, you will likely lose muscle as well as fat. Obviously, this isn’t healthy and will not result in a toned body.

What can I expect?
Weight loss is safe and comfortable for patients, provided that they meticulously follow the prescribed diet. Any deviation from the protocol is likely to not yield the desired results. Even minor deviations may cause unwanted setbacks. Patients can expect to lose 0.5 - 1.0lb per day.

HCG makes it easier for you to cut back calories because it acts as an appetite suppressant. During the first few days of the program, you might experience mild hunger after reducing your food consumption. By the second week, however, most people find small servings of food to be quite satisfying. This is partially because the HCG helps to release calories from your stored fat and these calories then circulate throughout your body. In addition, your hypothalamus makes adjustments to your metabolic rate, which helps you feel full faster. Each person will have a different weight loss goal and the length of the program will be customized to meet his or her particular needs. Many patients willingly submit to a second or third treatment.

Disclaimer
HCG does not cure or eradicate obesity and unfortunately, the FDA still has not approved HCG for use as a weight loss aid. As with all alternative forms of treatment, the FDA has not been able to find enough substantial evidence through its research to indicate that HCG is effective as a weight loss aid. On the other hand, thousands of people have used HCG and have successfully lost large amounts of weight in a short amount of time.
