Jumpstart Your Weight Loss Efforts with the HCG Diet While most people claim that the key to successful weight loss is diet and exercise, these are not enough. The weight you would lose could be mostly water and muscle mass, and some fat. When you lose muscle it’s bad for your body, shape, and metabolism.
The fact is that experts who work in weight loss management are well aware that weight loss is about far more than simply trying to eat fewer calories.
That’s why our expert doctors from The HCG Institute recommend the hCG diet: a combination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone injections along with a low-calorie diet to jumpstart your weight loss. Although it is only for the last decade that the hCG diet plan grown in popularity, it is not new at all. In fact, the hCG diet has been around for more than 60 years.
UNDERSTANDING THE HCG DIET Human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG is a hormone secreted during pregnancy. It is prescribed by medical professionals as a treatment for fertility problems. However, its usage is not limited to that. Dr. ATW Simeons conducted an experimental treatment involving HCG injections, obese patients, and a special diet. It was found out that with its effect to reset your metabolism, HCG can be taken in to aid weight loss.
PHASES OF THE HCG DIET The typical hCG diet plan is divided into three phases: a loading phase, a weight loss phase, and a maintenance phase.
PHASE 1 (LOADING PHASE-NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE HCG INSTITUTE) During this phase, you are allowed to eat extremely high fat, highcalorie foods to prepare your body for the caloric restriction it will enter during the weight loss phase. But this is not recommended by the physicians of The HCG Institute due to the dieter’s difficulty to overcome carb withdrawal. You might experience headaches, fatigue, mental fogginess, or muscle aches. Plus if you load with foods high in sugars or other carbohydrates, this can cause cravings and can be especially difficult to control because it can fire off feel-good chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and other relaxing endorphins in the brain. The effects of these chemicals may make a person more likely to seek them out repeatedly.
PHASE 2 (WEIGHT LOSS PHASE) During this phase, you continue to take your HCG supplements while consuming 500 calories per day. The weight loss phase may last from 20 days to 40 days, depending on your weight loss goals.
PHASE 3 (MAINTENANCE PHASE) The goal of Phase 3 of the
HCG Diet
is to maintain your weight loss
and to slowly increase your caloric intake from the 500 you were eating in Phase 2 up to 1200-1500. This phase lasts 3 weeks and it allows your body a good adjustment period and you’ll have an easier time maintaining your weight loss long-term. This is critical to your success, so do not skip it!
