When I first heard the acronym HCG I thought it was a sort of pesticide until my brother told me he was using it to lose weight. In a way though, it could be considered a pesticide; that is, if fat is your pest. After hearing how much food an HCG dieter is regimented to eat, and knowing how many calories I typically eat in a day, I wondered how it could be healthy. The secret, I came to learn, is in a combination of the science and HCG diet recipes.
Many weight loss programs suggest certain eating habits in one form or another, but the HCG diet recipes operate just a bit differently. For decades now, scientists have continually sought to understand how to best use food in combination with the hormone to produce the best results. The result of the combined efforts is a very particular program that is known as the HCG protocol. The most frustrating part of losing weight is watching some parts of your body shrink easily, and other parts of your body retaining the fat. Luckily, scientists love to investigate things like this.
You see HCG diet specialists know that your body has three types of fat in it. The first two types of fat, structural fat and reserve fat, are needed for your body to function as needed. The reason they do no damage is that they are constantly being burned off and replaced. Structural fat gives your organs the padding they need and it keeps your skin tight and healthy looking. Reserve fat is used when you skip a meal or need a bit of extra energy. The third kind of fat, abnormal fat, is the kind that leads to obesity. When our bodies have enough structural and reserve fat, they begin putting fat away for a rainy day, in abnormal places. Once it’s there, it takes unhealthy malnourishment to get rid of and this is where the HCG hormone will help.
As you may know the acronym that shortens the name of the HCG diet stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. You may also know that it is a hormone, produced by women during pregnancy, whose purpose is to feed the baby by unlocking the mother’s stored fat. HCG allows you to safely eat very little as it unlocks the abnormal fat for your body to use for energy. The formula containing the extracted hormone has been used by weight loss clinics and medical professionals for several decades. Recently however, the internet has given HCG manufacturers a means of cutting costs and making the diet more affordable and accessible for anybody with the discipline to follow through.
Yes, it all sounds pretty good, but you need to be on your guard. Anytime a discovery is made, reckless imitators are sure to make their attempts at a quick buck. If you come across somebody that is constantly inventing new HCG diet recipes in a seemingly random way, do not enlist their services. They don’t understand how the science of food works with HCG. This diet lasts either 23 or 40 days; no more, no less. If you hear of a 10-day HCG, don’t buy it! Does it work? Yes! Should you continue to research? Yes, again!
