What is HCG

Weight loss is a real problem for millions of people both in Europe and in North America. there are many for succeed and most of them have to be combined. the greatest choice is a hypo caloric diet combined with the aerobic workout. But there’s still, even with the newest technologies, the problem about the time in getting results.

A new way for gain results could be the HCG diet, which consists in a drastic reduction of our daily calories and injection of HCG hormones (the acronym means Human Corionic Gonadotropine). This particular kind of hormone id produced by women during the period of pregnancy and it’s normally used for artificial inseminations.

It’s scientifically ensured there’s no danger in using it for this kind of scope, as testified by its use since the first years of the fifties. The first who argued the use of HCG in diets has been an English doctor, dr. Simeons. The main goal it’s to reduce the perception of hunger, normally stimulated by the brain, eliminating fat from “sensitive parts” as abdomen, hunkers and buttocks.

These experimentation succeeded again in the last years, especially for the results gained by celebrities of the star-system like Britney Spears or Snooki by Jersey Shore. The period of diet consists of a low assumption of calories (about five hundred daily), and daily injections for 40 days. After this first treatment, the organism need a pause and then the treatment can start again. The results are unbelievable: during the first round of treatment, a normal person can reach the weight loss of 10 kilos.
Obviously, talking about a treatment hormone-based, it’s straight necessary to preserve the organism by “feeling” what are its needs. For example, better to reduce the therapy in presence of sensation of tiredness, or if it’s in any case recommended by another doctor. At the moment, any contraindications are suggested.

HCG Diet in Omeopatie

As for every diet, we can find people who gained results, and for this reason they are enthusiastic, and people who they have not.

The HCG Diet, which is a diet hormone-based, the Human chorionic gonadotropin, had many followers during the time, because its fortune started in the early 60’s by an English doctor, who discovered the function of “controller” of this hormone during the pregnancy. The main use of this hormone during a diet is through injections, but nowadays some laboratories found out the homeopathic use of it for the same scope.

Here a comment from someone who really tried this diet:
“I started trying weight loss with a homeopathic therapy, without any need of injection I lost 11 kilos in 36 days, and no sense of hanger. One month later, I still keep the same weight, even if I’m now following an equilibrate diet without fats and sugar. During the therapy, I always felt great, despite to the low-calories-diet I was following (no more than 600 calories daily for 40 days). Surely, during that period I was trying to avoid any particular physical effort, but in general I was living my everyday life without any particular problem. The greatest thing was weighing myself early in the morning and see that I was 500 grams less. Every hectogram less was a goal, a victory in a challenge, and this was very important for me, especially psychologically. Now, thanks to this treatment, I changed may eating style, I take more care about the variety and quality of my food. I also verified that my thyroid is functioning better. A possible miracle!! It’s just a matter of will: the product just help our will to gain the result”.

As this woman, there are many persons worldwide who they can testify the results gained by this diet.

Books about HCG diet

The experimentation about HGC diet has at least forty years of history. The fisrt who discovered the great property of NCG hormone (Human chorionic gonadotropin) has been an English doctor, T.W. Simeons. Simeons studied and developed this diet in the 60’s, when his treatment had a lot of success in thermal centres and clinics. The great results gained by his patients, and the easiness in managing all the period of therapy, has been the key of a world achievement even nowadays, when the new technologies created an homeopathic product instead of using injection, which is commonly considered with any kind of contraindications.

Dr. Simeons wrote a worldwide best seller “Pounds & Inches – A New Approach to Obesity”, popularly known as “Pounds and Inches”.
This book contains the original HCG diet protocol, as created by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons. Dr. Simeons’ Pounds and Inches manuscript has revolutionized weight loss all around the world. Developed for years and used in safety by thousands since, this HCG weight-loss protocol has a long history of helping people just like you to shed their unwanted kilos and lose inches off their waist, hips, and thighs. Despite of the time, this book is still one of most read book about the world’s diet

Another and more recent book (2007), which re-launched HCG diet and, even if it has received controversial reviews, has been a new best-seller, is Kevin Tudeau “The Weight Loss Cure “They” Don’t Want You to Know About”, commonly known “The Weight Loss Cure”. This publication is the new “frontier” of HCG. In fact, he explains that the book is based on the theories of the Dr.’s such Dr. Simeons who have dedicated years to studying the special effects of HCG injections for weight loss. It’s considered the best publication about this theme.

Does HCG diet really work?

HCG diet is a brand new in the panorama of weight loss treatments, and maybe for the first time in this field, an feminine hormone is used (Human chorionic gonadotropin, HCG) which is developed by the women during the pregnancy, and it has the function in the organism of eliminating the exceeded fats.

Just because it’s still in an experimentation phase, many doctors and nutritionists have still doubts about its efficacy, considering it a “Fashion diet” instead of a “Medical diet”.
The question remains: is the HCG diet effective? The answer is yes, in any case of hormone injections associated with another weight loss plan (don’t expect for miracles!). as testified by a huge amount of people, especially in North America, the treatment works very well with just few contraindications. A plan of 500 – 600 calories daily for all the period of therapy is the essential base for its success, because helps in eliminating exceeded fats. Therefore, the followers of this diet, are more incline to keep their good result during the time.

About the costs, HCG diet is at the moment considered one the cheapest diet worldwide and there’s no prescription of pills or special meals on it. The only strict prescription to follow is about injections: they have to be done by a specialist, who periodically has to check the result and the eventual contraindications for each person. Every treatment consists in at least 26-days cure, for maximum 43 days. The limit of weight loss in this period is 15 – 18 kilos.

Another important suggestion in following this diet is to avoid any kind of workout during the therapy, and at least for two months after. The organism in this period doesn’t have its regular functions, and the calories plan is not fitted for any strong effort.

HCG diet side effects

The potential of the HCG has been discovered forty years ago by an English doctor, dr. Albert TW Simeons. Recently, it has restarted to be one of the most followed diets, and many blogs and magazine are talking about that. The reason of launch has been an instant book written by Kevin Trudeau, titled “The Weight Loss Cure” which has been one of the biggest success of the year in terns of publication. Therefore, many celebrities of the “star system” started to follow this therapy with unbelievable results. The main example of that may be Britney Spears, who has lost, hearing rumours, around 15 kilos in less than two months.

The main characteristic of this kind of weight loss’ procedure is that has been realised with the presence of an hormone, the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, which is produced by the embryo during the pregnancy and it’s often used during artificial inseminations. Its use in diets because of its function of programming the hypothalamus in order to protect the developing fetus by promoting mobilization and burning up of abnormal, excessive adipose deposits.

Obviously, these kind of treatment can be followed only behind medical prescription, and during all the period of therapy (which is 40 days at the starting point) has to be regularly checked by a professional in order to avoid any kind of risk for the organism. Before starting any therapy, the person who wants to engage this diet has precisely to know which are the main risks: 1) Hypersensitivity caused by the composition of this drug or to any of its main ingredients. 2)Known or possible androgen-dependent tumours, like male breast carcinoma or prostatic carcinoma.
In any case, the danger in using this hormone is erased by following all the doctor’s prescriptions.
