All You Need To Know About HCG Drops For Weight Loss

By Annabelle Newton


The use of HCG drops for weight loss has become an amazing success story. Many people claim remarkable results. The acronym stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It is actually a human hormone that is produced in the placentas of women. This hormone is at especially high levels during pregnancy. This hormone is regarded so highly for dieting purposes because the very reason for its existence is to manage the metabolism of pregnant women.

The marketers of this diet are clear about the fact that the use of the droplets on their own will not achieve the results that will be possible when following the entire program. It is not healthy to lose too much weight too quickly. It is highly advisable to submit to a thorough medical examination before embarking upon any diet, especially diets where the calorie intake is severely restricted.

Of the three cycles of this diet, the first is the weirdest. Dieters are required to follow a high calorie and high fat diet for two days. There is literally no limit to the foods that are allowed. Chocolates, sweets, pork, beef and anything else that is high in fat is allowed. The droplets are taken from the first day and at least ten glasses of water must be consumed each day.

The second cycle can last anything between twenty and forty days. It is now required to lower the calorie intake to five hundred per day and to keep taking the supplement. In ordinary circumstances, such a drastic reduction in the amount of calories will result in a slower metabolism, but this is where the unique hormone comes into its own. It ensures that the body receives enough nutrients even whilst burning unhealthy fat.

The third cycle of this diet consists of a gradual increase in the daily calorie intake. Foods such as starches are now allowed again. The increase must be done very slowly however, in order to prevent the body from a too sudden change in calorie intake. When embarking upon this phase, the desired objective has already been achieved.

Most dieters lose about forty pounds during the second cycle, that is, if they follow it for forty days. It is perfectly possible to move back to that cycle if there is a need to lose more weight, but this should not be done within six weeks of the initial diet program. Losing too much too quickly can be harmful to the health.

This diet is not for everyone. In fact, for some people it can be downright dangerous. People suffering from cancer, diabetes or thyroid problems should stay far away. Women who are pregnant should not follow such a strict diet under any circumstances. The diet requires iron discipline and it would be foolish to start this program unless there is a very strong will to follow it through.

HCG drops for weight loss has certainly caused a lot of controversy. Yet many people claim that this is the only diet that produces results. Dieters should always approach a new system with caution and only embark on a new diet after obtaining advice from a medical practitioner and a dietician.
