How to Start Losing Weight With No Time Right Now

By Troy Myers


The hCG diet is rapidly increasing in popularity amongst those looking for a quick and painless weight loss solution. This revolutionary program has helped people shed up to 25 pounds in just three weeks. The key to its success is a hormone that allows dieters to drastically cut calories with no hunger, cravings or loss of energy. Since the introduction of homeopathic hCG, people who don't have time to visit a clinic can follow the plan at home.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone produced in pregnancy to ensure adequate nutrition for the growing fetus. It mobilizes fat from storage areas on the mother's body. Fatty acids from cells in the hips, abdomen and thighs are released into the bloodstream where they can be utilized as an energy source.

HCG was first used as a diet aid in the 1950s. The British endocrinologist Albert Simeon performed a series of experiments which involved administering injections of the hormone to obese patients. When put on a very low calories meal plan, the subjects rapidly shed their excess fat without losing muscle tissue. They experienced no feelings of hunger and reported no adverse side effects.

Although Simeon's diet plan was effective, it originally required a doctor's supervision due to the need for daily injections of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. This limited its appeal. Even if people are willing to commit to the time and expensive involved in visiting a clinic, they may be put off by a fear of needles.

Today the HCG hormone is widely available as an orally administered homeopathic remedy. A dose is simply placed beneath the tongue using an eyedropper. The number of drops and the number of daily applications can be adjusted to suit an individual's metabolism. Diet doctors have found the homeopathic formula to be just as effective for their patients as the injected hormone.

During the main weight loss phase of the diet plan, fat released from deposits on the body becomes the primary energy source for normal daily activity. Because fatty acids are constantly circulating in the blood, hunger signals are inhibited. While the body is converting its stored calories into fuel, its requirements for food calories are greatly reduced.

During the rapid weight loss phase of the diet, calories are limited to 500 per day. Lunch and dinner each consist of a 100 gram portion of chicken breast, fish or lean beef, a non-starchy vegetable, a portion of fruit and a small bread item. Food may be flavored with seasoning, herbs and lemon juice.

There are plenty of resources available to support people using the homeopathic formula to follow the hCG diet plan. Numerous popular books detail the phases of the diet and allowable food choices. Dr. Simeon's original manuscript 'Pounds and Inches' is freely available online. Many websites offer recipes, advice and interactive discussion forums.

Reasonably priced homeopathic hCG can be ordered online from an increasing number of providers. Some formulas contain additional nutritional supplements such as vitamins and amino acids. The homeopathic remedy is approved by the FDA, and has been certified as safe for daily use.
