Benefits of Diligently Following the Hormone Weight Loss Protocols

There was a time when the first things that enter out minds when we hear HCG weight loss are needles and an horrendously calorie starved diet. Today they are still what enter our minds but for HCG dieters and those who do a little research they would have added oral drops to their cache of HCG program knowledge.

The use of hormone in weight loss endeavors is not new. It is more than 50 years old and for the most part the only known method of HCG administration is through the shots. The program probably has been losing potential users because of this, so it's a good thing manufacturers have come up with the HCG oral drops. The drops make the HCG hormone protocol easier to follow aside from making the program cost a bit less expensive.

What are the things that change the protocol with the advent of the drops? Well, there is the number of times of ingestions. The HCG Injections are supposed to be done once a day, but with the diet drops they are to be done thrice a day. The amount of hormone to the taken each day, 125 Iu, remains the same as with the number of days it has to be ingested, 23 days. The change seems trivial but considering the inconvenience of facing the needles everyday, it does a lot towards relieving the stress level of users.

Along with the daily shots, HCG program followers are also encouraged to follow the HCG diet diligently. The two, the hormone and the diet, work closely together to help you shed the promised one to two pounds a day. Without the diet, the HCG is useless as it is the diet which activates the metabolism changing property of the hormone. On the other hand without the hormone most dieters will probably have a hard time overcoming the challenges of the diet which restricts calorie consumption to 500 calories a day. The hormone suppresses food cravings.

The hormone makes the diet protocol to follow. Besides you have no choice but to follow it. You'll be wasting money spent for the hormone if you don't. The diet itself is not actually very hard follow, but, of course, since you are used to eating lots of calorie load foods, hormone or not, you may experience some difficulties adjusting. You will be asked to a lot less than you are used to. For breakfast all you are allowed are liquids - tea or coffee - although you may drink any quantity. No sugars are allowed but you may add saccharine or stevia. You can have milk, but one tablespoon only for a 24 hour period. For lunch there's 100 grams of meat without even a tinge of fat, one kind of fruit and vegetable. You can replace the 100 grams of allowed seafood - shrimp, lobster or white fish. There's one bread stick or Melba toast. You can only broil or grill the meat or the seafood. For dinner, you are to practically have the same meal you had for lunch but you can replace the meat, vegetable or fruit for other kinds. You do not have to worry what to replace them with. The original HCG recipe is found in the book "Pounds and Inches" written by Dr. Simeon, the founder of the HCG weight loss program.
