Beating obesity through the hCG diet

By Cindy Byrd


Do you have a weight problem? If you do, you are not alone. The number of people in the United States that are overweight, or clinically obese, has hit epidemic proportions. This article is not about why this is a problem; it is about how to fix the problem on a personal level.

There is somewhat of a distinction between being overweight and being obese. The definitions is quite simple. If a person is overweight, it means that they are carrying more weight than what is normal for their height, age, and sex. A person who is Obese is one whose excess weight has accumulated to the point that it has a negative outcome on one's health and the ability to enjoy good health .

People who are obese have a much higher risk of health problems than those who are overweight, and people who are obese usually suffer from one or more of these maladies. The health risks associated with obesity are coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, high total cholesterol, stroke, sleep apnea, and joint problems (for every pound one is overweight, 3 pounds of weight are added to the knee joints). There is a direct correlation between weight and health factors and length of life.

The best thing about excess weight (if there is one) is the fact you can lose it and it wont be around forever if you decide to change your life for the better. There are many things you can do to change your life to help you lose excess weight such as changing your friends who do not support healthy eating habits to joining a gym, to a complete diet make over. All of these things really will help support that lifestyle you have always wanted and helps continue the trend of losing excess weight.

The best decision one can make if they seriously want to lose weight, is to start on the hCG diet. In short, hCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. This hormone is a key factor in pregnant women's ability to allow their unborn children to feed of their stored fat instead of their muscle mass.

The best way to start on the hCG diet, is to see a physician and get a prescription for self administered injection. Do not be misled by claims of hCG in the form of drops, or creams, or tablets that contain hCG. Some of these products are illegal in the United States. The best approach is Physician monitored and prescribed hCG.

Having a small amount of hCG in their blood, allows dieters, to eat the required amount of 500 calories daily, without losing muscle mass, or suffering the effects of malnutrition. If you have ever missed a couple of meals before, you probably experienced headache, hunger pains, and irritability; those are mild side effects of malnutrition.

The keystone of the hCG diet is the hCG hormone. The dieter consumes 500 calories a day to trigger substantial weight loss. The average active person needs 2000 to 3000 calories per pound per day. Therefore, 500 calories is quite low. To intake, that level of calories without hCG, your body will go into survival mode as if you were starving. This means your body would start to store fat, and the calories your body needs, will come from the breakdown of muscle.

However, with hCG in your system, your body responds totally differently. Not only will the side effects alleviated, but your body chemistry will change, you weight will drop at an accelerated but healthy rate, and after a time your metabolism will speed up, and with this change in body chemistry, it will be easier to keep the weight off.
