The Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Diet
By Nutritionist Kylie McCarthy
What is HCG?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone produced by females when they are pregnant. One of the purposes of HCG during pregnancy is to ensure the growing baby has a constant supply of energy and nutrients by mobilising the mother’s fat reserves as required.
In the 1950s and 1960s the use of HCG for weight loss in men and women was developed by Dr Simeons in Italy. He was a medical doctor and finetuned the HCG Diet over two decades. Dr Simeons developed a protocol that worked quickly, was very simplistic and had long term success.
He discovered the connection between obesity and hormonal imbalance in adolescent boys and used HCG successfully to combat this. Dr Simeons developed the use of HCG as a treatment to achieve weight loss and found it extremely effective when done properly, as it corrected a metabolic disorder of the hypothalamus. He realised that regularly timed, small doses of HCG in the average person (both men and women who are not pregnant), would have the same effect – namely mobilising approximately 2,000-2,500 calories worth of stored energy per day!
That’s nearly half a kilogram (1.1 pounds) of body fat per day that is made available to the body for use as fuel; this translates to you losing nearly half a kilogram of fat per day!
The HCG allows your body to tap into your abnormal and excess fat deposits, whether they be on the abdomen, shoulders, upper arms, hips, thighs or buttocks.
Goals achieved when completing the HCG program-
- Rapid weight loss
- Maintenance of a healthy and desirable weight
- Reset the Hypothalamus
- Increase the metabolism
Why is the HCG Diet Different?
We are constantly told that “dieting” is bad, that you will only yo-yo on a diet and, in fact, you will very likely rebound back to your old weight and possibly even gain more weight.
We are also told that a “diet” is not a long term solution to weight control and this is very true! A new “lifestyle” of eating habits need to be adopted however the HGC diet is a great way to kick off these lifestyle changes because you will see immediate and motivating weight loss results.
The HCG diet is only to be used in the short term and it is a strict reduction in calories. The great news is that this is not like any other diet you have ever tried before because you are using a hormone which will stop you feeling hungry!
The HCG is a radical, quick acting, effective and SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN program.
If you follow our guidelines, you WILL see immediate results !!
It’s time to become the best you can be!
You want to live a long healthy life without constantly fighting your own body and mind on food and weight issues.
In the past, the HCG Diet was only available to the wealthy and famous but, because of its effectiveness, it is now undergoing resurgence and is available to you!
The HCG Diet is NOT a guide line for a permanent life style eating plan. After you have lost the excess weight, we will guide you and educate you about a permanent, healthy, practical and easy eating lifestyle. This will happen when you are nearer to the maintenance phase.
