HCG: The Fat Eating Creature



There is always something that happens to make someone realize they need to lose weight. Whether it be an old photo or a tight pair of jeans when that scale number rises so do emotions. There are a million diets out there, but finding the perfect one for you takes time and effort. The best diet is the good old fashioned eating healthy and exercising, but for some they want to speed that process up a bit. That’s just fine, too. hCG seems to be new on the scene to save the day, but in all reality the diet has been around for many years. The problem is that not many people know the ins and outs of hCG and jump at something they just do not understand. We’ll break it down for you.

hCG is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It is a natural accruing protein hormone that develops in the placenta during the first trimester of pregnancy shortly after conception. Its primary function is to support the pregnancy by encouraging the production of progesterone. So how does it work for weight loss? Over 50 years ago Dr. Albert Simeons’ was doing studies on pituitary problems by treating them with low doses of hCG. He began to notice the patients were losing fat instead of muscle. During most diets muscle begins to fade quickly, but the difference in the hCG approach is fat is destroyed forever instead of lean muscle tissue.

This diet is also not about just jumping on some bandwagon. Patients must get blood tests and speak with a consultant before beginning the diet to ensure they are okay for treatment. Most programs are six to 12 weeks. Each person will lose a different amount of weight. Most dieters report a loss of about ten pounds each week. Dieters must follow a strict diet that will partner with the hCG injections or drops. Fiber and water are the most important parts of the diet. The reason it is not just another low calorie diet is the hypothalamus is being reset to send signals to break down body fat.

Yes, the weight will melt away. No, it will not let you eat anything in sight for the rest of your life. After the hCG program is completed it is up to you to keep up the new lifestyle. The metabolism is usually reset and the weight should not climb back on, but eating healthy and exercising need to come into play after the diet is over. hCG does not reset your lifestyle! Losing weight should not be a journey, but a destination where you feel complete, happy and ready to live in your new body.
