How And Why the HCG Diet Works

How And Why the HCG Diet Works

If you want to lose 30 pounds in as little as thirty days then the HCG diet is what you have been looking for.

The HCG body for Life protocol works over and over again when most other popular, current diets fail. You don’t need to spend a fortune in order to lose more weight than you ever did before. When I decided to make the commitment to lose weight, I was told that I would need to wait 6 or 7 months in order to lose just 30 pounds. I don’t know about you, but that seems like a very long time to wait. I didn’t want to wait that long so I kept looking for other alternatives. The HCG diet is the one diet that I know, that promises incredible results and then DELIVERS results. Most diets make outrageous
promises, but then deliver very little.

What Is The HCG Diet?

HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, the hormone produced by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. Research suggests a small, daily HCG injection (approx. 125 IU to 200 IU) may result in a weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs. per day, and often more, when accompanied by a VLCD (very low calorie diet of approximately 500 calories).

Burn the Fat and Reveal the Muscles

The thing that separates this diet from all others is that it is an extremely low calorie diet, but you are kept from being hungry. This is really the Holy Grail for people who want to lose weight. It is the HCG hormone that prevents the sensation of hunger. Most people try to cut calories but they suffer from severe weight rebounds as they eventually give into the cravings. As such, most people who go on a diet actually end up being more overweight than when they started. When you activate and introduce the HCG hormone, this will no longer be the case for you. This will ensure that you stay with the diet over the period of time needed to lose the weight you want.

How HCG Prevents Hunger Pains

HCG prevents hunger pains as it works on the Hypothalamus in the brain, which is what controls the brain. When HCG is not present, the Hypothalamus will send a trigger to the body and only burn structural fat and lean muscle tissue. This is what results in short term weight loss, but the body will soon reach a plateau as it can no longer burn the structural fat and lean muscle.

When you use more HCG, your body will be told (by the hypothalamus) to burn more body fat than it usually will. Obviously, when your body burns more body fat, you reverse the process that leads to obesity. HCG goes right to the fat stores that you want to get rid of, unlike most of the other diets out there. Many other diets actually lead your body to burn lean muscle tissue, which is the exact opposite of what you want (the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn anyway).

HCG Targets the Root Cause of Weight Gain

As you can see, the HCG hormone targets the root cause of weight gain and obesity in a way that nothing else can. By burning the adipose tissue, you lose the right kind of weight and also maintain your lean muscle tissue (perfect for safe and healthy weight loss). There are many other diets that use substances such as caffeine and herbal ephedra plus many other unknown ingredients. These things are used in order to raise the metabolism but they don’t target the body fat solely.
There are often many dangerous side effects of using things of this nature, as they are not natural for the human body. In comparison, HCG is a natural hormone that the body needs in order to function correctly.

HCG Increases Your Energy by Burning Fat

Most people need carbohydrates for energy. And as you know, most carbohydrates lead to rapid increase in body fat. HCG is perfect for weight loss as it gives you the energy you need by burning the unwanted body fat. When this happens, a signal is sent from the body to the brain, telling it that it has all the energy it needs. This therefore prevents hunger pains or food cravings from occurring.

HCG Had No Common Diet Side Effects

With most diets, the side effects soon become clear. The low calories that people consume soon lead to headaches, lack of energy, apathy, and sometimes-psychological issues. As HCG tells the brains that the body has enough energy, these side effects are overcome. If you need more energy, then your body will just burn more adipose tissue. As such your body will get all the nutrients it needs without going into starvation mode. Once again, HCG is natural and works with the body – not against it.

I have included a clinical study that was printed in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. You will see that scientific findings back up what you have just read (and my own personal experience).

HCG Weight Loss Clinical Study

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition www.ajcn.org and the American Society of Bariatric Physicians Research Council, 333 West Hampden Avenue, Englewood, Colorado 80110 Effect of human chorionic gonadotropin on weight loss, hunger, and feeling of well-being Authored by: W. L. Asher, MD and Harold W. Harper, MD

Twenty female patients on 500- to 550- kcal diets receiving daily injections of 125 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) were compared with 20 female patients on 500- to 550-kcal diets receiving placebo injections. Patients in both groups were instructed to return for daily injections 6 days each week for a total of 36 injections (unless desired weight was achieved prior to this).

The HCG group lost significantly more mean weight, had a significantly greater mean weight loss per injection, and lost a significantly greater mean percentage of their starting weight. The percentage of affirmative daily patient responses indicating “little or no hunger” and “feeling good to excellent” was significantly greater in the HCG group than in the placebo group.
