Weight Loss Drops

An Introduction To The HCG Diet Plan

Weight Loss diets have been doing the rounds for quite some time. People are becoming more and more conscious of being fit and losing weight. This is the result that people look for in a diet plan. Among the varied diet plans available today HCG claims to be one of the healthier ways to get rid of ungainly & excess fat from the body. HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Hormone. This hormone claims to be able to convert unused fat into energy. This hormone is produced naturally during the initial months of pregnancy and research on this hormone has found that this does cause loss of body weight in both Women and Men. Dr Simeons’ who first popularized this hormone & the diet associated with it claims that a modified lifestyle & conscious intake of food will use this hormone to its full potential. Dr Simeons’ Weight Loss program claims to help users lose up to 1-3 lbs daily.

How Does It Work?

• It acts as an appetite suppressant.
• The body’s metabolic rate is increased and the stored body fat is supplied as a fuel.
• HCG restricts calorie intake to 500 and this detoxifies the overloaded gastro- intestinal system.
• The recommended daily dose of HCG is 125 i.u to 200 i.u depending on the nature & amount of weight that needs to be lost.
• HCG is available as injections, pills & as  HCG Diet Drops  even over the counter but of all these the Diet Drops have been the most popular. The drops are ready to use & are taken orally & have no side effects while the injections have had incidences of pain & cramps.
• Diet restrictions include giving up sweets, oil & butter, flour & alcohol. The stored fat that is broken down by the HCG then adds a further 1500-4000 calories including proteins & useful fats into the bloodstream meeting the body’s requirement of calories.
• Anyone who is excessively obese is further put on an organic diet including salads & fresh fruit.
• Cardiovascular & Aerobic workouts have been found to increase the potential of HCG.

Other Benefits Of HCG

It has been found to boost immunity, fertility, detects pregnancy and nourishes the placenta.

The HCG diet plan has 3 phases:

• Loading
• Maintenance
• Stabilization

This has been further explained in the chart from Dr Simeons’ Weight Loss plan

The Loading Phase is when the Dieter consumes between 1500-2000 calories for 2 days, this causes the body to store more fat which are used up when the body goes into the restricted calorie phase. 6-10 HCG diet drops are taken 6 times a day.

The Maintenance Phase is spread over 21-40 days depending on the amount of weight that needs to be lost. Here the calorie intake is maintained at 500 calories with 6-10 HCG drops 6 times a day. This combination uses up the fat deposits & releases calories in the blood stream.

This diet has to be maintained for at least 3 weeks with a restriction on fried & sweet foods & some dairy products.

The Stabilization Phase is for 21 days where the lost weight needs to be maintained. The drops are stopped & diet is still controlled with the same restrictions as above. The recommended calorie intake is 800 for women & 1000 for men.

This diet claims to help you lose 34 lbs or 15 Kg by this method during the maintenance phase. A minimum of 44 days of  HCG Diet Plan is recommended even for a basic weight loss program & if the required weight loss is 15lbs or more then the maintenance phase must last up to 40 days so the total days on the diet is 60.
