Our wieght lose program works!!
Losing up to one pound a day for twenty or forty days makes Hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin) a successful yet controversial method for weight loss. It was first used for weight loss about fifty years ago after being discovered by Italian physician, Dr Simeon. There are numerous modifications around, and Hcg has been used in the US for about thirty years.
What is Hcg?
Hcg is a hormone normally found in huge amounts during pregnancy. It is made by the placenta and helps maintain pregnancy. It is conventionally used by doctors to treat female patients for infertility or boys for delayed puberty. During pregnancy women may make up to one million units of Hcg daily, while the Hcg weight loss program uses less than two hundred units daily and has no effect on fertility or sexual development.
What does the diet consist of?
The Hcg diet program consists of a very low calorie diet (500 calories per day) and the daily administration of Hcg. The weight loss occurs due to the calorie restriction. The Hcg seems to allow the hypothalamus (control center) in the brain easier access to control the breakdown of abnormal fat reserves (like hips, buttocks, abdomen) leading to a quick reduction of fat in these areas. This easy access to fat stores that are broken down for calories and energy may be why people on the diet do not get hungry, or feel tired.
Is there more than just the diet?
After the diet phase of the program, which is either twenty or forty days depending upon how much weight people want to lose, there is a very important three week maintenance phase in which sugars and starches must be slowly re-introduced. This phase is critical in allowing time for the hypothalamus to readjust back to a healthy long term “normal” diet. The Hcg seems to “reset” the hypothalamus so that it continues to more easily control access to fat stores.
Will I keep the wieght off?
Hcg is a great starting point to help people on their journey back to health but is only one part of successful weight loss program. We suggest a more holistic approach to weight loss in which Hcg is only a catalyst.
Our medical team provides a one hour exam, screening for underlying health conditions that may have caused weight gain, such as low thyroid or other hormone imbalances. We also address problems that will slow efforts at weight loss, such as insulin or leptin resistance.
Weight gain can be a complex issue of physical, biochemical and emotional, Unless all those issues are address long term results can be hard to maintain. At Colorado Natural Medicine we take a holistic approach to weight lose to insure long term success.
Does it Work?
Hcg is not magic, but it certainly works to help lose weight. Our typical patient loses twenty to forty pounds during the program. Some patients do longer or repeat courses and have lost over one-hundred pounds. By masking cravings, opening access to stored fat thus providing energy, Hcg works to get weight off. By resetting the hypothalamus and reprogramming the body to crave healthy foods, Hcg seems to provide a long term benefit in helping patients control weight.
There are so many HCG products and programs out there, How do I Decide?
There are numerous online sources of Hcg, some of which have sketchy suppliers and most of which offer no support or oversight. Work with a program that is designed to help take the first step toward living a healthy lifestyle for a lifetime.
