Grasping The Actual Facts About The HCG Diet

By Supreet Y Sandhu


Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, commonly known as hCG diet, is nothing new in the world of dieting. Also known as the hormone of pregnancy, this solution was used for diets in the mid-twentieth century. It has resurged in modern times as one of the latest fads in America, where a high population of people want to lose weight. Unlike other fad diets, the positive truth about the hCG diet: it works.

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, 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 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 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 used as a tool for successful and healthy weight loss. However, it requires the proper steps and professional doctors. The patients should be screened and monitored for progress from the start. The initial stages should be monitored by a physician and the transition to normal activity and eating should be done gradually. The diet itself does not teach healthy eating habits, so behavioral modification must be learned to ensure that the weight is not added 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.
