Crucial Facts About HCG Diet Regimens

By Dr. Elizabeth Clark


Dr. Albert Simeons formulated the HCG diet plan after many years of research. The program was formulated to assist people in taking off weight quickly. The whole idea is to decrease caloric intake while taking drops of the hormone. Even though the small amount of calories seem like a drastic amount, the fact is that most people find the regimen easy to follow.

A pregnant woman's placenta releases a hormone known as human chorionic gonadotropin. After extensive research, it was found that the substance works to decrease the appetite of those who are taking it. Anyone who has had trouble with other plans will love the way HCG works.

There are three separate phases of the diet. During the first one, known as loading, individuals are allowed to take up to two thousand calories daily along with several drops of human chorionic gonadotropin. It only lasts a couple of days, but helps to prime the body for caloric reduction.

The second part is called maintenance. Food intake is limited to five hundred calories and must include several hormone drops. The caloric decrease may seem tough, but most individuals are not hungry when on the plan.

The last part is called stabilization. Individuals no longer have to take drops once they reach this level. Women can increase their caloric intake to eight hundred. For men one thousand calories or less are suggested. This part generally goes on for three weeks.

It is important that everyone who follows the program gets the right amount of vitamins and minerals. The best way to ensure this is to eat food that has a high nutritional value. With such limited amounts being consumed, every single bite is important.

Choose high protein items that are low in fat such as chicken, beans, eggs and fish. Consume a wide array of vegetables each day. They are not only low in calories, but also have many other health benefits. Fruits are another great choice.

Try to avoid any foods that come in a can or are dried. In addition, stay away from items that are processed. Be sure to drink plenty of water while following the plan. Dehydration can lead to many health problems, but is easily avoided with proper fluid intake.

Along with eating well, it's also important to increase activity level. Dieters who get lots of exercise usually lose more weight than those who don't. Workout three times weekly to ensure fat loss.

The HCG diet plan is great for anyone who has tried other diets and failed. Just follow the program carefully while implementing plenty of exercise. In no time at all, the weight will come off.
