hCG Diet Made Easy

hCG Diet is a very controversial weight loss method. hCG stands for the hormone Human Choriogonadotropin, which is the same hormone that is produced by women in their early stages of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the surge of this hormone signals the hypothalamus in the brain to start moving nutrients and fat into the placenta. When used as part of a weight loss program, it is the fat-mobilization aspects of the hormone that has garnered attention for its seeming ability to help facilitate weight loss. Although it is used in conjunction with a very low calorie diet, any weight loss that occurs is likely to be due to the reduced caloric intake rather than the hCG.

Those who use hCG to lose weight must also follow a very strict diet that amounts to no more than 500 calories a day. Sugars, very sweet fruits, processed foods and heavy starches are not allowed. The hCG Diet protocol outlined by

Dr. A.T.W. Simeons hCG Diet looks like this:

• Breakfast: Coffee or tea with artificial sweetener and one tablespoon of milk. Lunch is 100 grams of lean meat, poultry or fish in addition to one low-glycemic vegetable like spinach, celery, cucumbers or cabbage. One Melba toast and one fruit like half of a grapefruit or an apple is also allowed.
• Dinner is the same as lunch.
• In addition, shots of apple cider vinegar can be taken as a daily supplement. Products and make-up that contain any fatty substances like mineral oil or almond oil cannot be used.

When you're on a very low calorie diet like the one presented with the hCG diet making your foods count is vital. You will have a much higher success rate if you don't feel deprived so having something interesting and filling on your plate makes a huge difference.

Since 1975, the FDA has required labeling and advertising of hCG to state:
HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.
