Contentious Issues about the HCG Fat Loss Program

The HCG fat loss program is not new, but recently enjoying more attention from sorts of people, people looking for a suitable weight loss program, those who do not like it and those who want more people doing it.

You read reviews about it and you will know that people are taking sides. The first area of contentious debate is the hormone. Detractors are looking for scientific evidence that it works. Naturally, they cannot as HCG is classified as homeopathic. Although even in this experts are not even sure since homeopathic medicine is supposed to be curing by using a substance that contributes to the symptoms of the illness and, course, HCG does not cause obesity.

Another area is the 500 calorie a day HCG diet. Health and fitness experts believe it is not safe. Dieters, they believe, are bound to get sick with such a diet. They are bound to experience severe loss of energy which can lead to physical and mental problems. Not only that, they also say with such limited calorie intake, the diet can result to muscle loss and loss of protein in the vital organs of the body and you cannot imagine anything positive coming out of it. What you can imagine is an extended stay in a hospital.

To be fair, advocates never said the program is without side-effects, some headaches or irregular urination patters which do not warrant costly hospitalization at all. They think what the detractors are trying to portray is highly exaggerated. Besides, the program covers all possible problems.

Run out of energy, the metabolism eating up muscles and proteins of organs? Advocates will laugh this one off as ridiculous. The program after all has an installed safeguard to prevent such things happening. There is the three day calorie load up period ensuring dieters always have ample supply of calories.

How about hunger fangs? With 500 calories a day, dieters are sure to experience hunger fangs. Advocates also have an answer to this. The hormone they will point out has the ability to curb hunger fangs. You cannot help but admire the way the HCG fat loss program is set-up.

Who to believe? Well, there are the HCG diet forums where users exchange views and experiences. These forums are probably your best source of info about the program, whether it is an elaborate hoax or something all overweight people have been dreaming of all this time.
