finding out how long the hcg diet will go for the most amount weight reduction

By John D Greene


A natural question for dieters is, how long do I have to be on the hCG diet? The hCG diet, causes your body top go through metabolic changes. When a dieter learns proper nutrition and applies it to their life, the hCG diet becomes an indefinite part of their lifestyle. As far as the amount of time taking the injections, the initial protocol lasts 23 days, depending on the amount of weight the dieter needs to lose.

The hCG Injection diet generally covers a period of 4 to 12 weeks. This determination of the length of period is depends on the amount of weight the subject needs or desires to lose. There have been patients who have recorded as much as 96 pounds of weight loss. In other words, if one has more weight to lose, they can stay on longer.

If you need ask the question as to how long one should be on the diet, you may want to know more about the diet to begin with. Instituted in the 1950s by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, the diet is based upon scientific principle. The foundation for his study was based upon the observation that poorly nourished mothers, consistently gave birth to healthy infants.

He thus concluded that a hormone found to be prevalent in the placenta, increased levels during pregnancy, triggering the mother's stored fat nutrients, carbohydrates, and sugars to nourish the baby during gestation. Furthermore, he observed no marked loss of the mother's muscle tissue.

Dr. Simeons formulated a diet that consisted of 500 calories consumed daily, accompanied by injections of the hormone. A natural question is what will happen if someone limits his or her caloric intake to 500 calories a day without the assistance of the hormone. First, simply limiting calories is not enough. The diet must be nutritious, with sugars and starches removed. After a period, it is important to add sugars and starches back to the regular diet.

After the initial 3-week period, the daily injections cease, and sugars and starches are slowly brought back into the regular diet. This of course after the patient has been educated and enlightened to the importance of proper nutrition to maintain the dramatic weight loss.

In overweight people, hCG causes fat cells to release stored nutrients. These nutrients are released into the bloodstream, thus supplying energy to the body. It is estimated that as many as 2,000 calories per day, are released. The burning of this energy causes the body's vigor level increases, while desire for food decreases. The fat cells that emptied, are absorbed and excreted. Therefore, inches, as well as pounds are lost on the diet.

The result is remarkable, and rapid loss of weight. Diets that do not afford enough nutrition or calories cause a decrease of the body's metabolism. In such diets, there will be some initial weight loss; however, inadequate calories will cause body weight loss to stop.

In conclusion, the hCG injection diet is highly customizable, depending on the dieter's weight. The diet protocol requires 4 phases of dieting. The first 2 phases cover a minimum of 23 days of injections. Phases 3 and 4 require no injections, but are for the systematic increase of calories as well as the re introduction of sugars and starches into the diet. Phases 3 and 4 are two consecutive 3-week periods for a total of 6 weeks. Then, for dieters who need to lose more weight, they may start the process over again.
