HCG diet

Tweet

The HCG diet, which uses either injections or drops of HCG in addition to extreme calorie restriction, raises various controversies since its inception. With the HCG diet, you can lose between 9 and 13 pounds in a month. This diet was initially designed to be taken only when a doctor prescribes and monitors the patient. The HCG diet promises an extreme weight loss without having to do sports, combining extreme calorie restriction (no more than 500 calories per day to be taken if possible from fruits and vegetables) with injections (which are in muscles) daily of a hormone produced by pregnant women called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).  This hormone also helps produces progesterone (a hormone essential to pregnancy). Some companies also sell HCG drops (available over the counter in homeopathic form, under the tongue) in order to make this diet avoiding injections. The usual dosage of HCG found in injections varies from 125 to 200 international units. The dosage of HCG drops is often very low or even zero. Studies have shown that the HCG hormone regulates the metabolism during pregnancy. Some people have suggested that this hormone can aid in extreme  weight loss by increasing metabolism, which helps burn more calories. The promoters of the HCG diet also say that the human chorionic gonadotropin stimulate the hypothalamus, causing release of fat in the blood. This fat is then eliminated by the body through the kidneys and intestines. Since fat is released via the blood stream, people who follow a HCG diet would feel very little hunger or symptoms normally associated with dieting.  The HCG diet requires that you only consume about 500 calories per day.If you do not eat, you will lose weight. Skipping meals and the use of extreme calorie restriction are technical (very unhealthy) used by followers regime for decades to try to lose weight. If you permanently adopt a diet that includes only 500 calories per day, it is possible to lose 2 pounds or more per week.  Many people also find that the HCG diet is a scam (HCG drops are homeopathic and contain virtually no HCG, they cost more expensive) to attract people struggling against obesity for a long time and who are willing to pay for anything in order to lose weight.  Those who support the HCG diet claiming talking results. Many supporters of these people say that nothing worked on them to lose weight until they do this diet. Many people who follow the HCG diet find they have more energy and improve mental accuracy in spite of the very low calorie intake.  Experts say that the HCG diet is too dangerous because of the extreme calorie restriction and those who follow this diet believe that walking through self-suggestion. Scientists believe that this is indeed the ketosis which suppresses hunger during the diet and not the HCG hormone.
