There is a great deal of controversy regarding weight loss and HCG. As with many things in life, controversy often comes from simply not understanding or learning about something.
One of the top ways to learn the correct information on the subject of HCG and weight loss is to peruse the book by Dr.
Simeons entitled “Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity.” This book is based on many years of investigation on the effects of weight loss and HCG.
Some detractors think that the results of the diet come from simply limiting calories to 500 calories a day. The truth is that most individuals would be tired and frail trying to get by on only 500 calories a day.
They would endure headaches, and it would be hard to stay energetic for any length of time due to the fact they would be Ravenous!
Dieters who follow the HCG diet protocol are thrilled regarding the fact that they are NOT hungry.
They are also not fatigued or frail – the truth is several mention feeling better than they have in quite some time.
The weight loss they can visualize each day actually keeps them focused.
The secret lies in using the HCG along WITH the 500 a day calorie diet, in addition to eating the specific foods that comprise the 500 calories. The HCG sends a message to the hypothalamus to release and set in motion abnormal levels of stored fat – between 3000 and 4000 calories per day. The calories required to make you feel full are derived from the fat reserves that are released.
The result is that you feel full, even though you are consuming less. This could not be achieved on the 500 calorie a day diet by itself. It is very important that you adhere to Dr.
Simeons’ HCG protocol as written and eat just the foods that are permitted on your 500 calorie a day diet. Do not be tempted to cheat on this diet. Cheating will cause your weight loss to stall and might affect your ability to become stable at your new weight.
An additional erroneous belief with HCG and weight loss is that when you quit taking the HCG, you will just regain the weight.
If you are following the protocol, that will not transpire. There are specific guidelines to stick to during the maintenance phase of this diet with the intention of preventing future weight gain.
When you abide by the protocol, your body’s metabolism is reset at an increased rate.
This helps sustain your loss of weight even if you stop taking the HCG and raise your calories.
Your body will burn the surplus instead of storing it as fat.
You have two choices when taking HCG to lose weight.
You can inject yourself with the HCG, or you can take the homeopathic HCG drops sublingually (under the tongue). Both methods are equally effective.
Individuals who have tried both the shots and the homeopathic drops discovered there is no disparity in outcome – just a substantial variation in cost, as the shots are incredibly high-priced!
Understanding HCG and weight loss boils down to knowing the facts, not rumors or opinions from uninformed people. You can attain your weight loss ambitions when you educate yourself and stick to the recommended protocol.
You only have fat to lose!
