How HCG Diet Plans Help Achieve Weight Loss Goals

In addition to the HCG hormone itself, HCG diet plans help to reprogram the body's metabolism and enable dieters to achieve their weight loss goals. They are two components of a comprehensive weight loss program that actually works with human physiology and biological tendencies has these have evolved over the past million years or so.

The Problem With Processed Foods

Not only are today's processed foods loaded with chemical preservatives (added mainly to preserve an appetizing appearance, not to add or preserve any real nutritive properties), they are refined and stripped of most of their nutrient content. The result is food that is high in calories and low in nutrient value.

This is the major reason why we lose our natural supply of HCG over time. On the HCG Diet, you will be eating healthier, whole foods that provide more in the way of nutrition without adding excess calories.

Low Calorie Diet

Under most diet plans that involve calorie restriction, the body responds by slowing down the metabolism, sabotaging efforts at weight loss. Taking HCG helps maintain that metabolic rate while you cut down on caloric intake and access the energy stored within fat cells.

Because you are restricting your calories, it is particularly important that the food you do eat provides maximum nutrition. The HCG diet consists primarily of foods that are natural to the primate; lean meats, poultry and fish, fresh fruits and above-ground vegetables. These are the foods that humans ate for hundreds of thousands of years before agriculture developed and introduced grain and dairy foods into our diets. It is another example of how the HCG Diet works with your body rather than against it.
