The first time that somebody told me about the HCG diet, I thought they were taking pesticides. Although some may argue that fat is a pest that you need a pesticide to get rid of, I was wrong in my assumption. It was my brother who introduced me to it first and, because he’s not a doctor, he failed miserably at convincing me of its effectiveness. I think his biggest mistake was telling me how little he was eating without explaining the science of HCG first. What I learned from my own research surprised me because it all makes a lot of sense. There’s no magic to it at all!
Because weight loss is usually centered on eating habits, they almost always have some sort of food plan. The HCG diet recipes are specifically designed and tested to work with the active hormone. The rules and schedules are all part of what most participants call the HCG protocol. Things like sugar and carbohydrates are banned with the hope that your metabolism will be reset and your weight will go down. The problem that most dieters face is a lack of understanding regarding the science of fat.
You see HCG diet specialists know that your body has three types of fat in it. The first two types of fat, structural fat and reserve fat, are needed for your body to function as needed. The reason they do no damage is that they are constantly being burned off and replaced. Structural fat gives your organs the padding they need and it keeps your skin tight and healthy looking. Reserve fat is used when you skip a meal or need a bit of extra energy. The third kind of fat, abnormal fat, is the kind that leads to obesity. When our bodies have enough structural and reserve fat, they begin putting fat away for a rainy day, in abnormal places. Once it’s there, it takes unhealthy malnourishment to get rid of and this is where the HCG hormone will help.
As you may know the acronym that shortens the name of the HCG diet stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. You may also know that it is a hormone, produced by women during pregnancy, whose purpose is to feed the baby by unlocking the mother’s stored fat. HCG allows you to safely eat very little as it unlocks the abnormal fat for your body to use for energy. The formula containing the extracted hormone has been used by weight loss clinics and medical professionals for several decades. Recently however, the internet has given HCG manufacturers a means of cutting costs and making the diet more affordable and accessible for anybody with the discipline to follow through.
Sometimes companies will do things like make up several new HCG diet recipes so that the diet will look more appealing and enjoyable to potential customers. Those who do such things either don’t understand how the diet works or they don’t care about your success and health. As mentioned previously, the HCG diet is a very exact science that should not be tampered with by amateurs. It is also common to see a company change the time period of the diet. The HCG protocol calls or a 23 day regimen or a 40 day regimen. If it is different than this, seek other advice. In any case though, do your homework and enjoy the results!
