A Look Into HCG Diet Plan - How Does HCG Diet Plan Work?
HCG
diet has been around for almost 50 years and it has become more and more popular these days. Many TV Networks including NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox News and even Oprah have covered this hCG
diet plan. However, this diet is somewhat controversial. Reviews on the effectiveness of this hCG diet are mixed. Many dieters have reported excellent
weight loss results via this diet, losing an average of 0.5 to 1 pound per day. However like many other diet plans, some say that this diet hasn't worked for them.
So what is hCG diet plan? The diet was originally created by a renowned British physician, Dr. ATW Simeons back in 1950s. He thoroughly studied the effects of using the hCG hormone as a weight loss aid among his obese patients, and found out that hCG, a natural hormone that is present in human body, can cause human body to metabolize the abnormal fat stores and reset the hypothalamus. With the combination of daily hCG injections and a 500-calorie-per-day diet, people can lose significant weight fast and keep the weight off for life (of course a healthy life style is required).
The hCG weight loss is reported to be especially effective for those who have been struggling with weight problems for years and want to lose a serious amount of weight (over 20 pounds). Since its creation, thousands of people have turn to this diet and lost weight quickly and efficiently. The diet plan focuses on a low calorie diet followed by a small daily dose of the hCG hormone, which results in a faster metabolism, so your body's natural metabolism speeds up, helping you shed off unwanted fat.
One of the many appealing benefits of this diet is that it allows for a quick weight loss. Some dieters reportedly shed off up to 40 lbs in just 6 weeks, resulting in an average loss of 1 pound per day. In addition, this diet usually won't cause dieters hunger pains or other common symptoms from losing weight quickly. Many dieters report they feel better than ever after completing this hCG diet protocol.
Another selling point of hCG diet protocol is you will not experience hanging or loose skin from a fast weight loss. The reason for a sculpted physique is hCG hormone burns abnormal fat stores with the combination of a very low calorie diet, so dieters lose the fat but not the muscle tone. In order to avoid the loss of lean muscle tissues, dieters are advised not to exercise vigorously while on this diet, although light to moderate exercises such as walking is allowed.
Although the FDA approves the use of hCG as fertility drug, it contends hCG was of no use for obesity management, because "there is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction." However, dieters should understand although hCG dieters might lose similar amount of weight comparing to those without hCG, they tend to lose more body fat because hCG cause dieters to lose adipose fat tissues rather than muscle or structural fat comparing to other diet programs.
There are rarely side effects reported for hCG diet plan. Although the FDA has not recommended hCG for weight management purpose, it is legal to purchase hCG. There are many online pharmacies offering hCG without prescription. It is recommended that you consult with a trusted health care provider before taking on this diet.

HCG Weight Loss (No Hormones) ?
At Walmart today we saw a new weight loss supplement called HCG (now without hormones!). My friend said his overweight friend lost 100lbs in 5 months using it, only eating 500 calories a day.
I was always told you shouldn't starve yourself on a diet. Has anyone tried the new HCG weight loss supplement and how has it worked for you? Has anyone used it, lost a lot of weight and then ate regularly for you again? How did that work out? I was assuming once you started eating normally again you'd pack all the weight back on.

What does it mean when my HCG skyrockets in a week?
Last week, I had blood taken and my HCG level was 94. Today, I had more blood taken and my count was 3526. What could cause it to jump that high in a week?
My LMP was on Jan 13th. My OB is using that date until my ultrasound. So, that would put me at 5 weeks.

7 weeks Pregnant and still no symptoms!?
I'm 23 years old and had a miscarriage back in October 2011 at around 4 weeks. This is now my 2nd pregnancy and I found out very early on and have been going to my doctor's office once a week to check my hcg levels and they have been increasing ! (3 weeks and 6 days= 50hcg // 4 weeks and 3 days= 426hcg // 5 weeks 2 days= 4608hcg My doctor now believes there's no need to continue doing hcg testing every week which I hate id rather have it every week .. it gives me peace of mind. After what happened in October i'm extremely afraid of having a miscarriage again, So far i've only had frequent urination, sore breast here and there nothing major and a few breakouts on my face.. I feel like my normal self; if it wasn't for a missed period and my positive test I wouldn't believe I was pregnant. I had very light spotting @ 4 weeks but it was so faint it could barely be seen I was rushed to the hosp and my hcg had blood test and my hcg was increasing and they told me it looked like old dry blood but the baby was perfectly fine. I'm so worried me and my husband are so happy about this little blessing... but so far no nausea or morning sickness and its scaring me !! is this normal @ 7 weeks? I'm having my first ultrasound this friday 2/24 and il be 7weeks 4 days which im super excited to hear the heartbeat but can someone please let me know if 7 weeks no symptoms is normal?
Another thing I forgot to mention was that ever since october Ive been on prenatals to be prepared for my next pregnancy .. could it be possible that because my body was already use to the prenatals before I conceived that maybe thats why Im not getting any sickness?
