HCG diet - new perspectives

HCG diet plan

The original plan was created by a British doctor, Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, in his clinic in the Hospital, international Mutidi Salvator in Rome in the 1950s. His book, pounds and inches, describes his discovery and experience with the Protocol. Also describes the Protocol in sufficient detail for any reader to follow without difficulty. This book is available on many Web sites.

The purpose of this article is to provide updated information on the HCG diet and drill at least a few fallacies that have arisen in this regard.

Public perception vs scientific research

As you might expect, media on Dr. Simeons Protocol has been uneven. This is expected because of the yellow press, not necessarily by the merits of the own protocol. For this reason, using HCG for weight loss, it was called controversial. This controversy has been composed from scratch.

Most of the scientific research to assess HCG for weight loss was published during the 1960s and 1970s. Some medical researchers confirmed the original results of Dr. Simeons in controlled clinical experiments. Other medical researchers have been able to confirm these results, even when following the same experimental design. In any case, this would be a legitimate source of controversy. However, the media has never mentioned this body of research.

500 Calories per day does not lead to hunger

People of all professions, professionals of the health and the public in general, are rightly that a 500 calorie diet single day would be very little food for normal metabolism. What does not take into account is that the HCG hormone changes metabolism to compensate for the calories of the Simeons protocol restrictions. This means that abnormal fat becomes a source of calories for everyday life.

This means that you can live out their own fat when you use the prescribed dose of HCG and eat food prescribed in the right amounts. Explain how the Protocol in this Declaration comes through to some people like pure gibberish, so everything can be addressed is the fear of living in only 500 calories per day. Don't seem to mind that another 2000 calories can come from the own fat.

New perspectives on the functioning of HCG

Dr. Simeons shrewdly noted that HCG affects the metabolism of fats by the hypothalamus of the brain of signalling. He was guessing that this protein hormone fit on the hormone receptors of sorts that were already in the brain. The exciting thing about his conjecture is that, in 1994, was discovered a new hormone protein influence the metabolism of fats by signaling the hypothalamus, too. This hormone, called leptin, is now known as the main fat hormone.

Current research on laboratory animals is beginning to show how HCG and leptin can interact through signals the same receptor sites in the hypothalamus. The research on this interaction is too new to show how this works. However, HCG and leptin clearly influence each other. In addition, the influence of leptin on insulin also leads to an indirect answer between insulin and HCG. A property shared by all these protein hormones is that overexposure to each leads to resistance. Leptin resistance leads to too much fat storage. Insulin resistance leads the sugar metabolism in abnormal blood (and storage of fat) and ultimately to diabetes. Resistance of HCG simply stops this hormone working completely.

Benefits of unusual side

As a result of the HCG diet weight loss, skin appears to reduce, too. The benefit is that, unlike other diets for weight loss and loss of weight even skin surgery not be loose and saggy while losing weight.

Some people believe that a great benefit of HCG is that it works regardless of whether exercise. The full Protocol is effective if they sit on the couch all the time or run 10 kilometers per day and at the same level of effectiveness in any way.

The FDA perspective

The FDA is not a government agency dealing with help us to be healthy. It is the arm of the implementation of the pharmaceutical industry. The position of the FDA about HCG for weight loss is irrelevant to anything useful to the public. In fact, I predict that the FDA will prohibit the use of this hormone to lose weight, as soon as it gets enough attention to threaten the pharmaceutical industry.


False fear things on HCG

HCG was called hormone of pregnancy because pregnant women produce high levels of during the first quarter. A subunit of this complex protein is also produced by women during menstruation. Comments that imply some sort of feminization of males taking HCG are simply silly. Quite the contrary, since body builders use HCG to restore low levels of testosterone after taking a series of anabolic steroids.

HCG is not only a hormone that is produced only by women. Men have the genetic mechanisms to produce it, too. One of the subunits appears in measurable quantities as a product of certain types of cancer. Clinically, it serves as a marker of testicular cancer. Keep the line of this cause and effect. Testicular cancer causes a positive HCG test, rather than the reverse. Comments on the Internet that invoke the fear of HCG, which cause cancer get this cause and effect to the rear.

Does maintaining long term weight loss - really?

No loss of weight in this Protocol does not give carte blanche to eat wrong without consequences. Ice cream and cookies will be fat, regardless of whether lost weight in the present Protocol or any other type of diet. Claims keep bacon are true only when to take the appropriate lifestyle changes that support healthy weight management. It is logical. If you do things that made fat first, then those same things it will you fat again.
