How HCG can help YOU Lose Weight
HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is naturally found in the body of pregnant women. HCG is used in dieting as a way for the body to release fat that is stored within the body, without effecting lean muscle mass.
HCG can be administered by oral drops or injection and must accompany a diet consisting of 500-1000 calories daily. The hypothalamus gland can be reprogrammed which results in a higher metabolic rate or metabolism at the end of the program. Since HCG mobilizes stored fat within the body, it is used for energy so you do not feel as if you are starving. Although most can lose weight on a reduced caloric intake diet, the HCG is fundamental in allowing the body to use fat instead of excessive calorie intake.
Most People on the HCG diet, generally lose 1-2 pounds the first few days, and .5 to 3 pounds daily after that. Weight loss of 4-8 lbs per week is very common if the program is done correctly. Injections are recommended for greater consistency and better results.
After they have lost the desired amount of weight, it is much easier to stick to their diet but with greater calories, due to the fact that their metabolism has been reset. Their stomach has also become accustomed to eating much less.
This diet comes with a menu of what can be eaten, how much, and how often. Food should be weighed, and fat must be cut off of acceptable meats. The consumption of vegetables is highly encouraged, especially ones that contain high amounts of fiber to better aid in weight loss.
Adequate water intake is also recommended with the HCG program to provide better circulation and digestion. When used with the supervision of a doctor, HCG weight loss has been proven to be safe and effective for people who follow the diet regimen.
After patients have lost their desired weight on the HCG program, they are encouraged to continue following a healthy diet and avoid returning to thier old eating habits.
Another tremendous benefit to the HCG Arizona program, is that unlike other diets, most patients do not experience sagging skin. The exception to this however may be those that have lost half or close to half of thier body weight. The body generally contours itself the way it was meant to be.
Along with the HCG diet program, it is important to begin a regular exercise program. It doesn’t have to be anything too strenuous, just 15 minutes each day of heart pumping work. This will help give you more energy, and allow the pounds to fall off your body even easier than just following the diet and injections alone.
It is wise to see your doctor before starting any weight loss program, the HCG diet included. This can rule out any reasons for you being overweight that may have an underlying condition, and make certain that you are well enough to use HCG.
Does HCG work for men for weight loss purposes since it is a hormone for women?
hCG can definately work for men. I lost most of my belly fat that I obtained from years of bad eating and a relentless appetite. Make sure you have the doc look at your hormones. Testosterone can help achieve a good balance as it did for me.
Thank you, is a Doctor really necessary to be on the HCG diet program? I’ve heard both but I dont understand how the hormones can be changed without a doctors experience.
Wow! what an idea ! What a concept ! Beautiful .. Remarkable
Greetings and thanks for a intriguing article. I know folks that are losing a pound per day with the HCG program. It is good that Vitality Med Spa offers an exerienced doctor to supervise the program. Regards.
Hey there! It is interesting how fast hcg is for weight loss and how hormones can help reduce the weight from coming back. Where can I find a clinic in the east valley that is serious about the hcg diet with a doctors help?
I have bought the product but from a freind but did not have a good response? Is there really a difference in products?
Great work! Those dudes at your competition (I don’t need to say who) don’t even have a clue! Keep it up! Regards!
Rona, I did alot of research to find a place that recommends frequent or weekly doctor visits. I had concerns after having my last child that I would plump right back up after losing the weight. I wanted it gone for good and I wanted to speak with the doctor as often as necessary. I visited Vitality Spa in Scottsdale and had a pleasant experience. The doctor went over my female hormones better than I expected and put me on a plan to counter act my estrogen-dominance…sp? They gave me a few B complex shots that helped me function with more energy as well. They were the cheapest I might ad.
Thank you for the information. It is helpful to know that your Mesa Az location does the HCG diet with hormone balancing for us not so balanced women. Weight loss can be a nuisance but meeting with a doctor every week about which foods are compliant with the HCG diet is VERY helpful! The free Velashape is intriguing…
Super article. Continue posting real content. Been following your blog for 3 days now and i should say i am starting to like your post. I am learning about hormones and how they can affect how the hcg diet works. I live in Gilbert and am ready to give it a shot…literally.
I like this site, particularly the up front information about how Hcg really works. I live in Peoria and am needing to lose more than 40 pounds. Does Vitality Med Spa have a location in the west valley or is the Scottsdale location the closest to me? Either way, ill make the drive.
I have tried food diets with only short term results. I have tried Medifast to find that the weight comes back as soon as I am done with the program. The HCG program is the real thing! I’ve lost my desired weight and am finally back to the size when I was 25! It helps to have a doctor point out that my metabolism was not working to begin with.
I am very happy with the number of pounds I have shed. I am learning that there is so much more to the whole process than a smaller number on the scale. One thing for me is beng successful! The pounds are melting away. I am being rearded for sticking with the progrm and everyday that encourages me. I can plan on being lighter in a few days. Cool huh!
My appetite is small and the correct amount of foods fill me up. I love to cook and am good at it. Often in the past on a Sat. or Sun. I would spend 8 (+) hours in the kitchen cooking, baking and then all the clean up. What I am finding with eating simpler is all the time I have on my hands. I am looking for things to do to replace kitchen time.
I thought I would read more … began with my magazines … all foodie mags -not good… so got books from the library. One of favorite authors writes mysteries and the main character is a cateror … more foodie’s in my life. I started reading books by other favorite authors.
Even my two big dogs are ahppy with the plan … with all my extra time now they are getting more and longer walks. I need a new hobby.
The discipline to follow the plan (to me anyway) is not that tough, primarily becasue I am rewarded by my efforts. Everyday is a new discovery into myself and my relationship with food.
Today my weight is a number I have not seen since 1993 and I am thrilled. The less people see of me the better … hee hee hee.
I have noticed that the shots the Vitality uses does not hurt, in fact I dont feel them at all. I have heard that the Releena drops are a 50/50 success. The shots make sense as it is going directly into the body. I have found that if you do the shots in a different spot each day, it will be felt even less.
Very interesting and written very well. I had no idea that HCG could take off that many pounds in such a short duration. Its refreshing to investigate medical weight loss options online before you meet with a doctor. Now i need a consultation…
HCG injections work better than drops!
It is my understanding that B12 injections are not as effective for energy in comparison to B complex injections. Anyone have both of them to compare?
HCG really works! Im a size 6 again and I feel wonderful! If you are considering it, be sure to come in every week to see the physicians for the best support and advice, you paid for it anyway.
Excelent website, I just came across it and I’m already a fan. I just got rid of thirty pounds in thirty days, and I am excited to continue my weight loss success as much as possible. If I can lose weight then any one can. Whatever you do, never give up and you WILL reach all your weight loss goals!
I am ready to take the leap, there is just too many success stories with hcg. After menopause, things have changed so badly that if I do not make a change, things will get worse for me. Thank you for the information and ideas from this blog.
Okay, so I know some things about losing weight effectively. I would love to learn more about HCG, does anyone provide a free consultation so i can learn how it will be used for me? Do you have to take the injections everyday?
great information! Thanks for posting! I will bookmark your site.
Hello i love the blog – i will try and keep up with it!! please keep more coming.
So is HGH does not come in pills? I’ve heard that the shots are the most effective but am hestitant to self inject myself.
My husband is 15 pounds overweight, and he wants to start a weight loss program. He wants to start by concentrating on diet only, and then add some form of exercise. Since he has planter facitis, it is sometimes painful on his feet to exercise, so he prefers to stay off his feet. But I still need to get some kind of workout. What kind of diet and exercises should he go with? Thanks.
A good diet program must be inlign with the Hcg plan. Otherwise you should not waste the money.
I have reduced down to a size 8 thanks to HCG! It is wonderful to be the same size as I was in high school. I would recommend to those that like to cook, to make your own meals with the approved HCG foods. I learned SO MUCH from just cooking myself but I no longer have kids at home so I have the time.
My friend referred me to your blog, so I thought I’d come have a read about what hcg is all about. Very interesting material, will be back for more!
HCG does work!!! I am 4 sizes smaller and feel wonderful, full of energy most of the day. The drops did not work very well, but the injections were a hit on my 2nd day!
This product does what it says it will. Just like anything else,you still have to eat healthy and work out! Just stick with it.
Your weight loss posts are great thx a lot !
Caloric cycling seems to be the easiest plan for me to shed pounds but HCG is a new concept to me. I do not plateau when I use some form of caloric shifting. This is as easy as it gets for me to lose weight.
Great information, HCG is bashed by a number of doctors but it is interesting that they have never done it and have very little experience with it. I think they are upset that they are losing bariatric patients to the hcg program in large quantities. Your site contains alot more information and I will return when I have time to read more. Thank you
Substantially, the post about hcg weight loss is actually the sweetest topic on getting rid of my gut. I concur with your conclusions and will look forward to your future updates.
Thank you for the blog. Because there are thousands of weight loss methods, its difficult to tell which ones are legitimate or not. After much research, the hCG diet program seems to have the highest success rate with the least amount of issues. It seems that some plans are charging $700+ and includes less than what Vitality Med Spa’s program of $395.
Ladies, i want to tell you that if you do not get your hormones adjusted while on the program (or soon after), you can gain the weight right back! See a Physician that knows weight loss and hormones, especially one that is well versed in estrogen issues. Dont waste the money on someone that cant deliver the whole package.
Does the hcg plan work for those that only need to lose 15 lbs? I work out 4x every week and cannot seem to lose the little “after birth” pooch! This is so frustrating but I know a few girls at work that have gone to Vitality and are now skinny.
It is wonderful to think that those of us, who have lost weight on HCG, can look at our new figures and only think how much better life is now. Seeing an actual Doctor is imperative every week to obtain the optimal results. Only a Doctor can make adjustments for you that no one else can do. My Doctor at Vitality Med Spa gave me a prescription to make the process easier along with a lipotropic shot every week. 32lbs later, I am myself again!
I just want to throw in my 2 cents here about the hCG drops. There are many who claim that they are just as effective as the shots. What they are not telling you is that the drops are likely homeopathic, not really hCG. A homeopathic hCG mixture contains no hCG. If you did a home pregnancy test while on a homeopathic form of hCG, the test would come out negative. Additionally, if you applied the hCG directly to the strip, it still will come up negative! If you were to take “real, medical grade hCG” as in a real prescription, your pregnancy would certainly show up as “positive”. Homeopathic hCG is artificial or a watered down version of something else. Those that have lost weight on homeopathic hCG (I know a few), gain the weight back, with an exception of a very few. This is because homeopathic hCG has the same effects on weight loss as taking a placebo. There is no comparison in results, long or short, to artificial hCG and prescription grade.
