What Does hCG Stand For?

by

HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, which is a naturally occurring hormone found in both men and women, but is produced in large amounts in pregnant females. The “pregnancy” hormone feeds and nourishes the fetus by releasing the fat stores until the placenta is fully developed.

The hCG hormone almost completely controls a woman’s metabolic functions during her pregnancy. Dr. Simeons, author of Pounds and Inches manuscript, discovered the fact that in non-pregnant women using a small amount of hCG he could produce similar effects. Using daily hCG drops or injections for weight loss could similarly increases the metabolism, causing abnormal fat to be used and expelled. Dr. Simeons suggests that when taking hCG, in conjunction with a VCLD (very low calorie diet), abnormal fat is released from our bodies and our bodies are actually restructured along with our brains being taught to ‘rethink’ food and lifestyle habits being changed permanently.

The ideal dosage of real hCG Dr. Simeons found to produce fat releasing is between 125 iu to 200 iu in both men and women. Daily injections or oral drops of real hCG would dramatically change the body in a few short weeks when following the guidelines in the Pounds and Inches manuscript. Dr. Simeons protocol food list is very specific when using hCG and must be not be altered for the greatest success and fat release in the shortest period of time.

Now that you know what hCG stand for and how it is used for the hCG diet protocol, the next step is reading the Pounds and Inches manuscript, finding real hCG drops or injections to use on your hCG diet journey to weight loss and better heatlh. You can also use some or all of Kevin Trudeau’s additions to the hCG diet to make it easier, reduce sugar and carb cravings, increase your fat loss and help suppress your appetite naturally.


hCG Diet – Oral drops Vs. Injectables

by

You’ve made the decision to follow the hCG diet and now you face your first choice – oral hCG drops vs. injectables?  With a little knowledge, you can determine which form is right for you.
The hCG diet protocol, developed by Dr. Simeons in the 1950’s has not changed since its inception, due to the amazing results achieved by those who follow it correctly. Only one thing has changed –
injectable hCG used to be the only choice.  Thanks to advanced technology and our changing timesyou now have an added choice between that or oral hCG drops. The oral drops are taken with a dropper under the tongue, no more need for needles to be injected into yourself, which alone kept many people from trying the hCG diet.

You may be confused as to if the oral drops are as effective as the injectable hCG. Many hCG centers have claimed that their clients taking the oral drops actually have even more energy and feel fuller than those taking the injectable form. The reported weight loss is just as much as those taking the injectable form.

You will need to know as much as possible before beginning the hCG diet, as following the diet protocol is essential to the program’s success. You must be truly dedicated to losing the weight, or this may not be the diet for you. If you have done the research and are prepared to follow the program, then you will soon be on your way to a healthier, slimmer body!

Pharmaceutical hCG drops can be ordered online and shipped to your home with no doctors visit required. You’ll experience the same amazing weight loss as with the injectable hCG, but at a much lower cost.  Always choose a oral drop that come with a test strip so you will always know you have real hCG in your drops!

Steak Day hCG Diet

by

A stall on the hCG diet is defined as four consecutive days of no inch loss or fat loss. When a stall happens most people become panicked because they feel they have did the diet wrong. Rest assured a stall can and does happen even if you have done the hCG protocol perfectly. Knowing what to do and taking control of your hCG stall is the first step to getting back on track.

There are two ways to break a hCG diet stall (and a few others in The Naked Truth About The hCG Diet); Apple Day or Steak Day. In the manuscript Dr. Simeons discusses doing Steak Day for Phase 3, but many hCG dieters also use Steak Day for Phase 2 with great success.

The rules are simple and easy to follow break a stall when you use Steak Day.

1. Drink plenty of water.
2. In the evening, eat a huge steak.
3. Have an apple or a raw tomato.

That’s it.

The principal behind the steak day is feeding your body protein. Protein which is provided by the steak, is a natural diurectic which can release water weight that isn’t flushing from your body. It also clears your body of any built up toxins via the apple or tomato that is preventing your body from releasing any fat as well.

If you are only on day 1 or 2 of a stall don’t panic, you can do this as well. Sometimes your body needs a rest as you are losing a lot of fat on the hCG diet

Other tips:

Always remember to drink plenty of water, 2 liters or more to help flush your system and flush the fat.

Keep a food journal. You can quickly see why you may have stalled or what food is causing your issues.

Much success to you on your loss!

The Weight Loss Cure-Review

by

The Weight Loss Cure

In 2007, Kevin Trudeau unleashed a book on the public that revolutionized weight loss, how people lose weight and helped untold numbers find help for their weight issues. Trudeau rediscovered Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, Pounds, and Inches and retold the hCG diet in writing his book, The Weight Loss Cure, They Don’t Want You to Know About.

As Dr. Simeons treated numerous people for obesity, The Weight Loss Cure aims to bring this work into the forefront again. Trudeau squarely puts the blame for being obese and overweight on “uncontrollable urges to eat when not hungry, low metabolism, abnormally high amount of fat stores in other words it’s not you but how your body is reacting to what you eat.

However Kevin Trudeau goes a step further with his version of Dr. Simones diet plan and in The Weight Loss Cure-Review recommends only the daily injections of hCG, eating 500 calories a day for 26 days, but eating organic foods during that time to further rid the body of toxins, various supplements and teas all to further enhance your dieting success and well being.

What the hCG diet plan provides via taking the hCG hormone is fat removal, boosting your metabolism and energy, reduce your hunger and cravings, and resetting your metabolism.

The hCG diet is outlined in detail in The Weight Loss Cure, is easy to follow, and has produced results for many.

hCG Diet Hair Care

hCG Diet Approved Hair Care

When you are on the hCG protocol it is hard to find hCG Diet hair care products that are safe for use on the Phase 2 of the protocol.  Dr. Simeons was very pointed in his manuscript to avoid extra oils and fats as they may be absorbed through the pores of your skin thus nullifying your body fat lose.

Frankly not washing your hair may be acceptable if you live alone and do not plan to see anyone or are a castaway on an island by yourself.  In the real world where you may work outside the home or live amongst others, maintaining proper hygiene is an important idea if only for the benefit of others.

Finding the right products that offer a variety of options is important also as everyone has different needs and styling requirements.  Jason is such a brand of hCG diet haircare.  They offer everything from dandruff shampoos, to styling gel, volumizing creams and more.  Jason is an excellent choice because not only is it organic made from botanicals, plants, roots, herbs, proteins, vitamins and minerals, all from the earth but it will not interfere with the demands of the hCG diet protocol.  Jason also does not contain sodium laurly or laureth sulfates or other harsh detergents that strip your hair of natural oils.

Even after you are on to Phase 3 of the hCG diet, you will find Jason still an excellent choice for your hair and may want to make it a permanent hair care choice.

Is the hCG Diet Dangerous?

by

The hCG Diet seems to be everywhere in the news these days – people from all walks of life are trying it and achieving the results they have always hoped for.  But is it safe?   You will find conflicting reports all across the internet, but what you won’t find is confirmation of any of these risks or that the data comes from sources that followed the hCG diet protocol as set out by Dr. Simeons, the creator of the system, back in the 1950’s. 

Most of us know that hCG is the hormone produced in pregnant women.  The actual amount used in the diet is very low levels (125-200 IU) – these levels are followed along with a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) -this is key in achieving the results you want, and a factor that many of the studies that detractors use are guilty of not following. 

People everywhere are claiming that they have finally found the cure to weight loss instead of the dozens of bandaids they had been trying for so many years, only to regain the weight, and then some, after stopping the diet.  They claim that following the diet has gone so far as to retrain their brain in the correct way to eat and look at food.  A miracle?  Absolutely if it works!

Dr. Simeons maintained that when followed correctly, your body will learn to metabolise fat correctly, thus eliminating the bad effects that many of us have seen from past diet attempts (ie: sagging skin, no energy, constant hunger pangs).  He maintained that there are three types of body fat:  structural, normal, and abnormal.

In short, Structural fat is the tissue surrounding our internal organs and is critical to our health and body functioning normally.  Normal fat is what our body stores as energy reserves for the times when it is not having its needs met and needs to draw from us to fuel our body from our metabolism when energy is needed. Abnormal fat are those areas that form around our mid-sections, thighs and hips, that it seems no amount of exercising or dieting can remove. 

When one’s metabolism is functioning correctly, diet and exercise can effectively draw from the correct areas –but people who suffer from excess weight, even when correctly following diet plans, often have metabolisms that are hopelessly out of whack and no amount of diet or exercise ever seems to access those abnormal fat areas.   Most of us know the basics of how the body functions, drawing fats from muscles in a low calorie diet or excessive exercise, instead of from the abnormal fat that we need to be losing.  Our bodies feel the stress in our bones and joints because it is our structural (critical to us!) fat that we are losing.   Dr. Simeons protocol causes our bodies to utilize fat efficiently, using hCG in very low doses to burn them in the way that pregnant women are able to burn them while supplying their baby with the needed nutrients.  For the abnormal fat to be burned in our bodies, a Very Low Calorie Diet must be followed along with the hCG injections.

One wonders of course, how people can survive on such a low calorie intake (500-600 per day), wouldn’t the body have no energy and the hunger pangs be unbearable?  Here’s the amazing part!   The people following the diet correctly have found that the calories entering the bloodstream from burning the abnormal fat actually prevent you from feeling hunger pangs! And even more amazing, people claim that its better not to exercise when following this diet because the exercise actually makes them more hungry and less likely to follow the diet! 

Now for the interesting part- the dangers of hCG:

There is NO evidence, that when followed correctly, the low dosages of hCG(125-200 IU) in Dr. Simeons Protocol is dangerous.  Yes, you read that right.  NO evidence.  The claims that you may read of dangers refer to studies that did not follow his protocol and used large doses.  Of the studies that claim to prove the hCG diet doesn’t work, NONE of them adhered to the original diet protocol set out  by Dr. Simeons.  Both the low dosages of hCG and the VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) must be used in conjunction to achieve the amazing results that are showing up everywhere.

Be aware this is no easy fix, but if you’ve tried it all and feel that your weight problem is hopeless, this is worth giving a try, but willpower and discipline are key, and medical supervision, as with any diet, is always needed.
