HCG Diet and How It Mediates Weight Loss

For growth and maintenance we need nourishment. Most of these we get from dietary intake. If for one reason or another intake is inadequate, the body turns to its nutrient (carbohydrates fat and protein) stores for fuel. This occurs in severe forms of starvation. Most often we take more than we need and this can have catastrophic effects on our health. Excessive intake leads to accumulation in the body of excess calories in the form of fat resulting in overweight and obesity. These two issues have become such a big problem that obesity has been declared a national crisis. It is therefore not surprising how many weight loss programs are available in the market today. One of these programs is HCG Diet.

What is HCG Diet? Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone present in the urine of pregnant women. Its function in pregnancy is to provide the developing baby with enough nourishment to meet its metabolic demands. If the dietary intake is inadequate, HCG mobilized fat from the belly, the buttocks and the hips and sequesters it to the baby across the placenta. The weight gain (due to increased appetite) in pregnancy is the body’s attempt to build up enough stores for the developing baby. Provided the levels of HCG are still high the excess calories are efficiently redistributed preventing accumulation. Immediately after child birth however, the levels of HCG tremendously dip leading to retention of some of the weight gained during pregnancy. The effect of HCG on fat distribution and metabolism has been used to develop weight loss HCG Diet. It comprises hcg drops or injection and a HCG protocol to be followed while on the diet. It is administered in three phases as follows; 	Phase 1: Involves building up your fat stores by unrestricted dietary intake for the first two days while initiating HCG under-the-tongue drops or injection. Your brain will detect the presence of circulating HCG and the fat you take help in its distribution to the fat deposits. 	Phase 2: A 500-calorie diet consisting of vegetables, fruits and two meals of 3.5 oz. of protein is observed for the next 23 to 40 days while taking the HCG. An average of 1-2 pounds is shed per day. This is to continue until the desired weight is realized. 	Phase 3: A new lifestyle is adopted and a recommended diet is taken. You can eat as much as you please, but eliminate sugars and starch from your diet. You need to continue with the 500-calorie diet for two days to allow your system to be cleared of all HCG. In addition to fat redistribution, HCG has suppressive effects on the appetite and also instructs the body to use fat as the sole source of fuel. This leads to burning of the excess fat that might have accumulated to cause obesity and weight loss. HCG mediates a balanced distribution of fat throughout the body instead of being concentrated in the belly, the buttocks and the hips. The fat is deposited under the skin and around organs.
