Exploring 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 its efficacy, but hCG is not approved to be used as a weight loss drug by the FDA. It was originally developed as a way to treat infertility in females. The FTC now enforces strict regulations when it comes to marketing this drugs. Furthermore, doctors cannot advertise its use for weight loss, although it still accessible for this use.

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.

People who want to do this technique can get positive results. In addition to looking better, they will also feel better and reduce ailments that come with being overweight: high C-reactive protein, cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose. The positive truth about the hCG diet centers around this: it benefits people who remain dedicated and work closely with a trained physician through the process.
