HCG Protocol Weight Loss Concerns

The HCG weight loss program is much easier than other similar programs. But it is not as if you just sit back and watch the pounds drop. The program has certain protocols that need to be followed diligently. The cost of not doing so is wasted money, time and effort and a figure that is as substantial as before.

There are actually two HCG protocols for weight loss. There is the hormone ingestion protocol and there is the HCG diet protocol. The hormone which can be ingested either through oral drops or injections is to be consumed everyday for a total of 23 days. Daily hormone intake is 125 iu. Menstruating women are not to take the hormone and must wait until the menstruation period is past before resuming. For dieters employing the injection method administration is once a day, while those opting for the oral drops administration are done three times a day.

The HCG diet protocol entails adhering to a very low calorie diet. Calorie content of everyday meals is not to exceed 500 units. The menu will be composed mainly of protein and fiber rich foods. Dieters are likewise encouraged to drink a lot of liquids. This diet is to last for 23 days, but it will not start the same day the HCG hormone ingestion is set to start. The first three days of the hormone ingestion are referred to as the load-up days. During these three days, dieters are compelled to eat calorie rich foods they are able to. The reason for this seemingly inane move is to ensure the dieter have enough source of energy to last the last day of the program proper.

There are several precise reasons why Dr. Simeon, the founder of the weight loss program, formulated this specific diet. The HCG hormone remains inert in the dieter's body unless something activates it. It is the diet that performs this very important task. Aside from this, the diet also makes sure that no more excessive calories enter the body as it will only worsen the weight problem besides burdening the metabolic process further.

There is no way dieters can ignore the protocols. Consuming less than the specified 125 iu of the hormone a day will probably lead to inability of the hormone to accelerate the body's metabolism which plays a key role in eliminating the accumulated fats. Cheating the 500 a day calorie a day limit will probably lead to the hormone not doing its work efficiently.
