A remarkable new diet trend that has caught the attention of the American population is the hCG diet. This new way of consuming everyday foods was developed by a doctor who discovered that a hormone typically found in the body of a pregnant woman could actually help overweight women - and men - shed unwanted pounds. And then continue to help them keep it off long after they have returned to a more normal eating pattern. This hormone is created in large amounts while a woman in pregnant. It's main function is to ensure that proper nutrients reach a developing fetus. It is widely believed that this hormone can reset a person's metabolism and help to protect the good fat in your body. It also works to prevent the break down of muscle.
You take hCG orally by placing it under your tongue. This allows the body to rapidly absorb it which in turn allows the person to go through the day on the fat stored in their body instead of the food they will consume. In essence, the hormone will trigger the body to start breaking down the fat stores and releasing it as "food". What this means is you could essentially burn between up to 4000 calories of stored fat. That breaks down to between one and two pounds each day in weight loss.
Dr. ATW Simeons began to use very small doses of the hormone in obese patients during the 1950's in order to help decrease their appetite. He noticed significant weight loss as well as inches being shed around areas such as the hips, stomach and thighs. since the 1950's, this diet trend has continued to grow in popularity and is considered a natural and successful approach to losing unwanted weight.
When you begin the hCG weight loss plan, each round of treatments typically lasts about 26 days. For 23 of those days you are required to take the hormone. The reason you don't take the hormone for the last three days is to give it time to cycle out of your system before you begin to resume your normal diet. While on this regimen, it is necessary to consume foods high in protein and low in starches and carbohydrates. Foods that are high in fat along with alcohol are off limits.
