For people who have tried to lose weight only to find they gained it all back, couldn’t stay on the restrictive diet, or simply didn’t see the results promised by the program, losing weight may seem impossible. However, with the scientifically proven HCG weight loss options available today you can and will lose weight by following the program.
It is important, however, to choose an HCG weight loss program that is based on science. There are many low cost and do-it-yourself programs that report they are effective HCG weight loss plans, but they are not going to work. In order for HCG or human chorionic gonadotropin to be effective in weight loss, it has to be used in the right formula and in the right dosage.
What is HCG?
HCG is a naturally occurring hormone produced when women are pregnant. During pregnancy, it is released to help to speed up the expectant mother’s metabolism to better supply nutrients to the fetus. It also helps in breaking down the naturally fat storage in the body, again helping provide nutrients to the developing fetus.
When injected as part of a medically supervised HCG weight loss program, this hormone does the same in all individuals, including males. It literally breaks down the fat stores in the body, but it doesn’t break down muscle or lean body tissue as in other types of calorie restricted diets.
Diet Changes
When people are receiving the injections for their HCG weight loss, they are restricted to about 500 calories a day of highly nutritious foods. This includes foods such as lean protein in fish, chicken or lean cuts of beef, as well as eggs or low-fat cottage cheese. Vegetables can include green leafy varieties, cabbage, radishes, beets and tomatoes as well as fruit, and a small amount of carbs.
The good news is that the energy from the fat breakdown limits your hunger while on the diet. It is not uncommon for people to lose between fifteen and thirty pounds in a month, while also lowering their need to consume large portions even after completing the diet.
They are also free from sugars, carbs and large servings of fats, so it is much easier to maintain the HCG weight loss even after you have completed the weight loss phase of the program. With medical support, fitness and nutritional counseling, this is a great way to quickly and effectively lose weight.
