The person that has struggled for months and months to lose weight might be interested in learning more about the hCG diet. Researchers have found that the unique hormone produced by the placenta during human pregnancy can help you lose up to three pounds a day. Healthy weight loss is important and can start with injection of this hormone.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, hCG, is a hormone only found in the placenta during pregnancy. While a woman is pregnant, this hormone manipulates the actions of the hypothalamus in the brain. The hypothalamus is responsible for controlling your unique metabolic rate, thus the key to the rapid fat loss benefits when the hormone is injected.
Some people reject this weight loss plan because they think this hormone is the same one used in fertility treatments. Other people avoid it because they have heard the hormone comes from a human female or from animal urine. These are not true facts. The hormone injected for weight loss is made in an laboratory environment using sterile cells.
This plan does include you eating healthier foods. Many dieters that have experienced success on this plan added plenty of raw vegetables to their diet. Researchers believe this nutrient addition adds to the positive metabolic changes that allow rapid weight loss using this hormone. Adding fiber to meals also helps to increase the loss of those extra pounds as well.
No matter what type of dieting plan you choose, drinking lots of water while on it can be extremely beneficial. Water has the ability to flush the toxins from your body. You might be surprised to know that some of these toxins inhibit your body's ability to lose fat. Drinking water is good for you even after you have reached your weight loss goals.
Your physician will perform diagnostic blood work before you have these injections. The tests are for making sure you are healthy enough to take the injections. Some medical conditions can cause adverse reactions to hCG injections. If your are healthy, you can benefit greatly from the plan.
Losing weight can be important to you avoiding conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Following the hCG diet can allow you to reach your weight loss goals faster and in a healthier manner. Talk to your health care provider about how you can learn more about this plan.
