Following the HCG Diet Program Permits You To Lose Only Fat And Not Muscle

By Nikita S. Romaguera


Many people testify that the HCG Diet is the only best to effectively lose weight and keep it off without losing muscle and developing sagging, loose skin. You've probably heard about and even tried a lot fad diets, but this one is really logical and has been successful for many people. It is possible through this program for individuals to lose a pound a day or more which has been experienced. Losing 30 pounds in one month practically appears too much to imagine.

A little history behind the HCG Diet explains that a physician named Dr. Simeon discovered in the 1950s that patients who received a daily dose of HCG were capable of maintaining their health while following a low calorie diet. This was compared to other patients on a low calorie diet who did not receive the HCG and experienced weakness, had headaches, were hungry and often became irritable. We can take a closer look to discover how and why this diet plan works, which is actually quite interesting.

Keep in mind that just as with any other types of diet programs it is important to only consume the food and portions that are specified. The diet is separated into several phases that we will touch on briefly. The first phase requires taking the HCG and consuming a high calorie diet that contains a lot of high fat foods. This step is quite important to reset the body's fat regulating system and decrease hunger during the first few days of the low-calorie phase. The next phase requires you to use the HCG that by now should be effectively triggering your body to release the abnormal stored fat as you begin the low calorie diet. As your body burns the released fat stores to provide a regular flow of fuel to your body you will not feel too hungry.

That phase of the diet can last from day three through the following 21 or 42 days, depending on the amount of weight you wish to lose. The maintenance phase is the next part of the program to be exercised. You stop using the HCG during this period because the fat regulation system in your body was adjusted in the previous phase. You will slowly begin increasing your caloric intake as you carefully watch your weight to stabilize it during this phase.

HCG drops are the most popular type of the hormone that is a concentration of homeopathic HCG with a special mixture of additional supporting ingredients to supply vitamins and boost energy levels while helping the body shed pounds.
