HCG DIET PLAN

HCG is a hormone that develops in every woman who is expecting a child. Known as human chorionic gonadotropin (hGC), it boosts the production of progesterone early in the pregnancy which causes the uterus to develop a healthy blood supply with plenty of nutrition for the fetus. It plays a crucial role in the first trimester and then tapers off as the baby develops. It was first put to use as a weight loss supplement by a British physician who was working with patients who had pituitary problems and were trying to lose weight.

Medical professionals are hailing weight loss with HCG as a major breakthrough in losing weight and stubborn body fat.  This advanced weight loss program has a 100% SUCCESS RESULT FOR PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THE PLAN EXACTLY! It is a physician-supervised program that is completely safe and has been developed to help people lose weight and keep it off. 
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone present in both males and females. It is the hormone produced by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the substance almost completely controls the woman’s metabolic functions. In non-pregnant persons, research suggests HCG similarly increases theme anabolism and promotes lipolytic (fat burning) activity. The use of HCG as a diet aid was first discussed in a report that Dr. A.T.W.  published in 1954. The report did gain some attention at that time, but it took several years before the use of HCG with dieting really started to catch on. Today, an increasing number of dieters are turning to HCG to help them lose those unwanted pounds. Docotrs noticed that his patients could drastically reduce their caloric intake without experiencing irritability, hunger pains, headaches, or weakness while also taking HCG. As Dr. Doctors  continued his research, he found that an HCG injection did more than just help his patients lose weight. In fact, he found that the injections also helped to naturally reshape his patient’s bodies even if they did not engage in exercise while on the diet. Doctors concluded that this was because the patients lost their fat tissue from adipose tissue accumulations, which made changes in the body shape more visible. What people were losing wasn’t simply weight, but fat, a particular kind of fat. We generally think of fat as just “fat,” but in fact there are three distinct kinds of fat, twoof which we need, and one we don’t. If you’ve tried dieting, perhaps diet after diet, and found that the weight comes back, it’s because diets can’t rid us of the one kind of fat that most needs to be eliminated.Of the three kinds of fat, structural fat is essential because it cushions our organs. Then there’s the kind of fat that gives us a reserve of energy, fueling the body between meals.But a third kind of fat-the unsightly fat that ruins our appearance-is totally unhealthy. This unwanted fat is not only unhealthy, it just happens to be almost impossible to lose. It can be mobilized only in times of starvation and pregnancy.

 In a non-pregnant state, HCG as a weight-loss aid helps reduce the craving for food by making stored fat available for metabolism, thus aiding in the ability to adhere to a rigid diet program. HCG accesses unnecessary fat stored in the body just as it does in early pregnancy. Abnormal fat deposits disappear; the double chin, potbelly and fat around hips and thighs are the first to go. HCG does not deplete subcutaneous or other essential fat. Most HCG Weight-loss participants see a loss in girth (inches) before they see any substantive drop in the scales. When properly supervised, the result is rapid weight loss and improved body shape during and after treatment. Reshaping of body contour is quickly noticeable in those patients who struggle with fat located in buttocks and hips  area. As the HCG metabolizes stored body fat, about 2000 calories are released into the bloodstream, thus allowing for a low calorie per day diet without experiencingfatigue, weakness or hunger. The genius of  Doctors was to recognize that HCG triggers the body to burn this typeof fat. It appears to reset the hypothalamus gland, along with areas of the brain that regulate a variety of hormones, blood sugar metabolism, blood pressure, and other key A proper HCG diet plan consists of some of the factors that are needed to be listed out as well as seen to, and it is these very things are needed to be followed in a proper diet plan. Some of the things that are to be seen to are being mentioned as follows:

what  are the Benefit ?

Doctors wrote a book called Pounds and Inches for other doctors and he states that HCG causes a change in metabolism. He states it makes your body mobilize fat out of the fat storage locations. Weight loss comes from adipose tissue, not muscle. And HCG does not strip the body of vitamins and minerals. And if you follow the diet, you can keep that weight off!

* Assists patients in shedding up to 30+ pounds over a 5-6 week period.
* Assists in the reduction of cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
* Dramatically reduces the appearance of cellulite.
* Results in the disappearance of food cravings.
* Increases energy levels.
* Decreases blood pressure.
* Improves skin elasticity

* Is safe and healthy.HCG diet consists of daily injections or oral drops of HCG. It is similar to what a diabetic person does when they inject insulin daily. The oral form is simply put into your mouth with a dropper. In addition to this, you will need to reduce your caloric intake to just 500 calories per day. Generally you eat a meal of lean meat, chicken, fish, shrimp or lobster, one fruit and one vegetable, two times a day. 

Obviously, you would be able to lose weight with a 500-calorie diet even if you weren’t getting HCG hormone treatments. If you cut back to this many calories without the help of HCG, however, you will likely be very hungry and lose muscle as well as fat. Obviously, this isn’t healthy and will not result in a toned body.

what can i expect ?

There are no age or sex limits, and tolerance to the treatment is excellent. Weight loss is safe and comfortable for patients, provided that they meticulously follow the prescribed diet. Any deviation from the protocol is likely to not yield the desired results. Even minor deviations may cause unwanted setbacks. At the conclusion of the diet

patients should have lost an average of 0.5 - 1.0lb per day.

You will lose fat mostly in the waist and stomach. You’ll reduce any fat pads like adouble chin and love handles. You’ll lose that inner knee and thigh fat with no sagging skin. The diet actually helps you do body contouring without exercise. HCG makes it easier for you to cut back calories because it acts as an appetite suppressant. During the first few days of the program, you might experience mild hunger after reducing your food consumption. By the second week, however, most people find small servings of food to be quite satisfying. This is partially because the HCG helps to release calories from your stored fat and these calories then circulate throughout your body. In addition, your hypothalamus makes adjustments to your metabolic rate, which helps you feel full

faster.

Each person will have a different weight loss goal and the length of the program will be customized to meet his or her particular needs. Many patients willingly submit to a second or third treatment. The HCG Diet is a physician supervised plan that will allow you to reach your weight loss goals in a shorter time frame than conventional “dieting.” Clinically we find that balanced structured meals combined with daily use of HCG allow the body to tap into and metabolize its stored fat. This allows for a safe, rapid loss of fat and inches.

what happens to body after years of dieting ?

Diet programs can have good results if a change in lifestyle and eating habits is achieved.

How many of us have been on a diet, lost a good amount of weight, then gained it back? Most diets consist of reducing calories. After years of doing this, the body is in chaos and doesn’t know what to do any more. This can slow your metabolism and affect your hormones. Pretty soon as another diet is introduced, the body will hold on to the fat and not let it go because it knows it’s diet time again.

                               

     you know that feeling when

                        you are !!!

                      Done with a workout

 Your shirt is Soaked. You are dripping and    a little Shaky that's when i realize i did it      again and i can do it again tomorrow.

 overview of plan ?

The HCG diet plan consists of 3 stages: The first 2 load days, the 500 calorie fat burning stage, and the maintenance diet.

Loading days:

Days 1 – 2:

Begin taking the HCG hormone as instructed. These are “loading days,” which consist of eating as many fat filled foods as possible until you are completely stuffed. Dr. Bird suggests eating a lot of highly concentrated foods such as milk chocolate, pastries, sugar, fried meats, eggs and bacon, mayonnaise, bread with thick butter and jam etc. The time and trouble spent on pressing this point upon reluctant patients is always greatly rewarded afterwards, because they do not struggle with the difficulties of hunger and fatigue in the beginning stages of the diet. Patients who do not follow instructions on the loading days have a much more difficult time in the beginning and have a more difficult first week.

500-calorie Fat Burning Stage:

Day 3 - until last dose of HCG:

Continue taking the prescribed dose of HCG. Begin the 500-calorie per day diet. This will be explained further below.

72 hours after last dose of HCG:

Transition stage - STOP taking the HCG:

Continue on the 500 calorie diet for 72 more hours. The hormone will be completely eliminated from the body.

The Maintenance Diet plan, weeks 1-3:

Begin 72 hours after your last dose of HCG and continue for three weeks. You may now eat more foods and add fats and dairy into your diet. NO starches or sugars are allowed in this phase. The purpose of this phase is for the body to adjust and stabilize at its new weight.

The Maintenance Diet plan, weeks 4-6:

This is the final phase where you begin to add starches and sugars back into your diet. Technically nothing is off limits anymore. It is best not to resume any old eating habits that led to weight gain in the first place, but you may eat what you would like. The best rule to follow is “everything in moderation.” More information about this will be provided.

 Preparing for the  Diet plan:

Supplies needed:

• Scale to measure your weight. You need to weigh yourself every morning. This allows you to see your progress and identify any problems when there is no weight loss.

• Digital food scale that measures in ounces. Digital is preferred, because it is more accurate. Varying food    weight, even if it is just an ounce, can affect your weight loss.

Important Points:

Weight Fluctuations

After the fourth or fifth day of dieting the daily loss of weight begins to decrease and there is a smaller urinary output. Men often continue to lose regularly at that rate, but women are more irregular in spite of faultless dieting. There may be no drop at all for two or three days and then a sudden loss, which reestablishes the normal average. These fluctuations are entirely due to variations in the retention and elimination of water, which are more common in women than in men.

-->

Two processes determine the weight registered by the scale. Under the influence of HCG, fat is being extracted from the cells, in which it is stored in the fatty tissue. When these cells are empty and therefore serve no purpose, the body breaks down the cellular structure and absorbs it, but breaking up of useless cells, connective tissue, blood vessels, etc., may lag behind the process of fat-extraction. When this happens the body appears to replace some of the extracted fat with water, which is retained for this purpose. As water is heavier than fat the scales may show no loss of weight, although sufficient fat has actually been consumed to make up for the deficit in the 500-Calorie diet. When then such tissue is finally broken down, the water is liberated and there is a sudden flood of urine and a marked loss of weight. This simple interpretation of what is really an extremely complex mechanism is the one we give those patients who want to know why it is that on certain days they do not lose, though they have committed no dietary error.

Cosmetics

Make-up that is allowed on the diet is: eye brow pencil, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, and face powder that are oil-free. For those who cannot live without make-up, others have used mineral make-up on the protocol without adverse affects on the ability to lose weight.

 If you currently are using mineral make-up, then you may continue to use it. If not, then we recommend Young Blood mineral make-up. Basically, mineral make-up isthe best and only option.

Possible acne breakouts

It is possible to have acne outbreaks while on the protocol. Our fat cells are storage for everything, from vitamins and minerals to toxins. If you have an acne flare-up or rash occur during the diet, it is most likely your body’s way of excreting toxins. Our skin is a large detox organ, and when there are too many toxins for the liver to handle efficiently, then the skin will step in and excrete some of those toxins as well.

Shampoo/Conditioner

Most shampoo and conditioners are fine. If your conditioner has oils in it, you may either switch conditioners, or use the one you have as long as you rinse it out IMMEDIATELY after putting it on your hair. Do not let it sit on your hair and do not massage into your scalp. You may also want to check your deodorant; if it has oil in it you shouldn’t use it. You can switch to some sort of deodorant spray while on the diet.

Mineral oil

Many women who are adjusted to the use of cosmetics and skin care products containing fat find that their skin gets dry as soon as they stop using them. Mineral oil may be used as a treatment for dry skin, because its molecules are too large to be absorbed by the skin.This point also creates controversy, because the oil becomes a layer over the skin and clogs pores. It is also a petroleum-based product that is a byproduct of refining oil. If this does not bother you, you can use mineral oil for dry skin, because the body will not absorb it. Mineral oil is able to keep skin moisturized, because it is an extra layer on top of the skin. Mineral oil should not be used in preparing the

food, because of its laxative quality and the fact that it absorbs fat soluble vitamins,which are then lost in the stool.

Mineral oil scrub

Another way to use Mineral oil is to mix sea salt with baby oil to make a thick body scrub. The scrub will remove dead skin, leaving skin smooth and soft. Use it on the driest areas, such as elbows, knees, heels, etc. Rinse well after the scrub, in order to remove all residue. You may follow by washing the area with glycerin soap.

Menstruation

For women who menstruate no HCG injections are given during the monthly menstrual cycle. This is done for up to four days. If after four days the period is worse the patient needs to speak with the doctor. The 500-calorie diet is continued during menstruation and causes no hardship because HCG is still circulating in the body. Every time you lose a pound of fatty tissue only the actual fat is burned up. All the vitamins, the proteins, the blood, and the minerals that this tissue contains in abundance are fed back into the body. If there are certain vitamins you need or want to take they need to be discussed with the doctor.

Salt and Reducing

There is no restriction in the use of salt but patients need to drink large quantities of water throughout the treatment. Your daily amount taken should be roughly the same or less, as a sudden increase in salt will of course be followed by a corresponding increase in water weight as shown by the scale. An increase in the intake of salt is one of the most common causes for an increase in weight from one day to the next.

Water

The amount of water you retain has nothing to do with the amount of water you drink.When the body is forced to retain water, it will do this at all costs. If water intake is insufficient, excessive water will be withdrawn from the intestinal tract, with the result of possible constipation. On the other hand if a patient drinks more than his body requires, the surplus is promptly and easily eliminated. Trying to prevent the body from retaining water by drinking less does not work. A 2-liter minimum should be consumed each day.

Constipation

Your bowel movements will slow down due to the decreased intake of food. If you drink the proper amount of water you can avoid constipation. If constipation does become an issue then speak with the doctor to get some ideas and suggestions.

Beginning days 1 & 2, the “loading days”

-->

Administer the HCG as directed (injection or oral dose). Eat as much as you want,especially high fat. It is important to get the HCG into your system before you start the diet plan. Do NOT try to limit your food during these days; the fattening food is necessary for the diet to work correctly. The more you eat, the better results you will have.

 Those who do not load to the fullest also experience difficult hunger pains throughout the injections. It is also possible to gain weight on the loading days; you will lose it all within the first week, probably even the first 2 days! Don’t worry! It may seem impossible to load yourself with really fatty, unhealthy items (especially if you’re on yoursecond or third round of the protocol.) Examples of healthier fats: Cold pressed oils, avocados, nuts/seeds, nut butters & tahini. Eat foods that your crave that are especially high in fat such as: ice cream, cakes, cookies, custards, creams, pastries, chocolate, etc. as it has a psychological effect of saying “good bye” (for now!)

Day 3 - until your last injection or oral dose “Fat Burning Stage”

Continue HCG as directed. Begin the 500 calories per day plan. The 500-calorie limit per day MUST be maintained.

Breakfast: Water, tea, coffee in any amount “without” sugar. One tablespoon of milk is allowed in 24 hours. Stevia may be used to sweeten. Some people choose to have a small portion of fruit for their breakfast.

Lunch & Dinner: You are allowed one protein and one vegetable. A spreadsheet will be provided to you that will help plan your meals and make sure you are eating the correct amount of calories. You can choose to use it or not. As mentioned previously, a safe way to divide up the 500 calories is allotting 300 calories towards protein, 120 calories towards fruit, and 80 calories towards vegetables. This is only a guideline and it doesn’t have to be exact. For those people who want to keep this diet as simple as possible there is another way to set it up so that things are much easier

‐ You are allowed 2 melba toast per day, factor the calories into your 500.

Important Points:

Some may feel that even so little food is too much for them and they are unable to finish their meals. Anything may be eliminated if desired, as your body will be getting significant nutrients from the fat being released by the HCG. There is no objection to staggering your food. There is no specific time of the day you need to eat. Work or family schedules can determine when you eat. You can’t save calories; an item saved from the previous day cannot be added on the following day. Chicken breast does notmean the breast of any other fowl, nor does it mean a wing or drumstick.

 Stalls, Gains, and Fluctuations:

 This protocol must be followed exactly as described. The slightest deviation from our recommendations could affect your ability to lose weight and is immediately detectablat the daily weighing. Pay attention to weight gains; they usually signify an error in the protocol.

 Keep a detailed food journal and look for patterns of foods that cause you not to lose, or to lose fantastically. Some people have had problems losing with tomatoes and oranges (but some people have no problem at all). Since everyone is different, you need to monitor your own body and see what works or doesn’t work for you.Eating too many calories or foods not on your list can cause problems. Weight gains/stalls may take a few days to kick in. For example, you could mix your veggies for a few days and assume there is no problem based on what the scale reads, but then a stall or gain can suddenly reflect the breaking of the rules. Many people believe a stall comes out of nowhere, but it is usually caused by something. 

If more salt is eaten in the food you prepare and your body isn’t used to that sodium level, your blood volume will increase to handle the extra, which will translate into a gain because your body is retaining water to boost that blood volume. Watch your salt intake.Sensitivity /allergies to foods may cause weight stalls. Listen to your body.

 Not drinking enough water: Must drink half of your body weight in ounces. Also be aware that many things contain sugar or fats that we may not realize as: chewing gum, mints, vitamins, cough syrups, etc………

 Plateau: This can occur with anyone and can last 4‐6 days. If you lose more than the average you may plateau sooner. The plateau always corrects itself and should not cause you to worry. If however you wish to break up the plateau after three days it is permissible to do an apple day. An apple day consists of only eating 6 apples while drinking your normal fluids. No other types of food are eaten during this day. You
should see a 1‐2lb weight loss the next morning.

Exercise:Importance of not doing a lot – doing a lot of exercise could hinder weight loss. When you build muscle, the muscle surrounds itself with water to heal and build. This can cause temporary weight gain, and also interfere with weight loss. It is

best to just do mild exercising while on the diet, and begin with more strenuous exercise in the stabilization phase.Walking, mild swimming, zero resistance biking – generally 30 -45 minutes 3 times a week is sufficient.

The Healthy Lifestyle:

Measuring portions when eating regular meals – This is a habit you will have developed during the HCG diet, and it is a good one to keep. You do not need to be fanatical about measuring, but this will help you gauge how much food you are actually eating. You will become accustom to looking at food and know the portion size, and this will help you when you eat at restaurants. So many times restaurant portions are so large, that we do not realize we are probably eating 2 and . meals at one sitting.until the hunger sensation is gone, not until the “stuffed” sensation occurs this is a problem many people have. 

\It takes about 30 minutes for the satiety sensation (the sensation of being full) to set in after you have eaten a meal. If you eat till you feel completely full, you have overstuffed yourself. Eat normal size portions and watch your caloric intake, and you will be able to be full without feeling like a stuffed pig.

Eating

• “Eating to live, not living to eat.” – this is the best advice I can give you. If you can begin to look at food as necessary fuel for your body instead of a treat, it will help you make the right choices. You will choose nutrient rich foods that will nourish your body over foods that are only made to satisfy the taste buds.

• Don’t be afraid to indulge – Now, I say this with the greatest caution. Some people can go to a birthday party and have only once slice of cake with a little ice cream without craving more later. Others will have non-stop cravings once thy

have tasted their favorite food again. My suggestion is that if you can control yourself, don’t be afraid to eat ice cream, pizza, or whatever else you like, but not on a regular basis. If you are one of those people that cannot stop once you have tasted it, then do your best to stay away from trigger foods. Maybe find something else to indulge in every now and then that you know you will not crave. This diet is wonderful, because it will break you of any old habits that led to your weight gain, and you don’t not want to reintroduce those habits again.

 the  HCG  diet cycle 

The effectiveness of hCG as a diet enhancer seems to last for about forty days, at which point the user becomes somewhat immune to its effects. So the cycle of the hCG diet plan is six weeks on, followed by a six week hiatus during which the dieter can consume anything he or she wishes, with the assumption that consumption will be moderate. If there is more weight to be lost, another cycle of six weeks can follow the interim period; many dieters go through three cycles to complete their weight loss program.

 HCG diet today 

There is an excellent hCG diet guide available today that explains all of the doctor's medical theory behind the diet protocol, organizing the information provided in the original documentation into a handbook that everyone can understand. There is also a hCG gourmet cookbook that provides dozens of recipes which can turn the limited menu options into food that doesn't become boring. If you haven't got much to eat during your diet it should be tasty and there should be some variety to it. Both of these guides as well as an explanation about obtaining hCG, either through your physician or from pharmaceutical sources can be found on our site listed below.
