Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, commonly referred to as the hCG diet, is nothing that is new. Also called the hormone of pregnancy, the solution has been applied to dieting regimes since the 1950s. In recent times, it has resurged as a big fad in America, a country in which much of population is looking to shed weight. Unlike many other weight-loss programs, this works and that is the positive truth about the hCG diet.

People note its efficacy, but hCG is not approved to be used as a weight loss drug by the FDA. It was originally developed as a way to treat infertility in females. The FTC now enforces strict regulations when it comes to marketing this drugs. Furthermore, doctors cannot advertise its use for weight loss, although it still accessible for this use.

Most of the controversy associated with this drug used for losing weight comes from the heavy restrictions required on calories, as well as the potentially negative side effects. There has been so much hype and obsession in American society over quick weight-loss programs. This has added fuel to the flames and burned the potential of hCG becoming a tool used for healthy management of weight.

In the 1950s, Doctor Albert T W Simeons shared research on how effective hCG was was a weight-loss supplement when paired with a low-calorie intake. The obesity researcher did not get much attention for this information and by the 1960s, it was irrelevant. The doctor believed that hCG is able to reset the hypothalamus in the brain and change how the body burns its fat.

In his work, he made note of the three kinds of fat present in the human body: structural fat, reserve fat and abnormal fat. Structural refers to that which fills the gaps to offer protection around the bones and organs. Reserve is the fat that is used as nutritional income, fuel for the muscles and a regulator of body temperature. Then there is the abnormal kind that should act as reserves but is trapped. Simeons believed that the hCG allowed the body to burn trapped fat.

The individuals who follow with this diet should consume 500 calories and the supplement. At this point, they are not expected to experience hunger pains because the body will live on calories from the trapped fat. It is suggested that this stage in process only go for 21 to 40 days.

This diet can act as a healthy and successful way to lose weight. Still, the right steps must be done and counsel from a professional physician is a must. Patients must be screened and monitored from the very beginning. The beginning steps will be closely tracked by the doctor and transitioning to normal eating habits and activity should be done slowly. The diet does not instill good eating habits in people, so behavioral modification must be done guaranteeing the weight does not come back.

Those who take on this diet may find success. In addition to looking better, they will reduce the number of ailments associated with this disease, such as: high blood pressure, blood glucose levels, cholesterol levels and C-reactive protein. The positive truth about the hCG diet: it can be effective treatment for weight loss if it is done by dedicated individuals and regulated by trained professionals.
