Losing the Weight with HCG Dieting

HCG dieting is not something new. It has been around for over 30 years since Dr. Simeons developed the HCG diet protocol after extensive research on the hormone. Some people think that HCG dieting is a fad diet, but fad diets don't stay around for 30 years and have thousands of people who have lost weight on the diet.

The way that the HCG diet works is that the person takes a small dose of the hormone on a daily basis and then follows a strict diet that is laid out in the HCG diet protocol. The HCG can be injected into the body using a needle, or better yet, there are now oral HCG products that are just as effective. The HCG triggers the person's body to start using stored fat cells as energy, which means the body is burning calories from fat at an alarming pace. This is why it is possible for a person to lose anywhere from one to two pound a day on the diet. When is the last time that you were able to lose 30 pounds in a month?

The other aspect of the diet includes what a person is supposed to eat on the diet. When on phase two of the diet, which is the main phase of the diet when the HCG is taken, a 500 calorie a day diet is to be followed. The foods as well as the tea and coffee are to be only organic foods and beverages. Also, water should be purified to get rid of chemicals in regular tap water. The reason why a person is to only eat 500 calories a day is because the body is getting the energy it needs from the fat reserves that is burning. When you overeat on the diet, you are taking potential fat loss away since your body is using the food for energy instead of the stored fat. This is why it is important that you stick to the diet to get the maximum weight loss that you can get. If you sway off the diet, you may not lose as much weight as other people who are HCG dieting and properly following the guidelines.

Although you may be skeptical of practicing HCG dieting, it has been proven safe by researchers as well as fully effective for weight loss. It is not a fad diet, but involves so much more to help you achieve not only weight loss but a healthy lifestyle.
