A large number of Americans falling into the "obese" category. Obese is defined by the BMI of an individual. While any individual with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is classified as overweight, an individual with a BMI of 30 or higher falls into the obese category. The categorization is used for medical purposes to ensure proper treatment and to advise on potential health consequences.

And the potential health consequences are many. The "proper treatments" create an issue entirely their own. The reason that so many individuals find themselves in these two categories (and suffering from the lower quality of life and shorter life span that goes hand in hand with them both) is that while there are many proper treatments...there aren't many that succeed in the long run.

Americans have adopted a very unhealthy lifestyle. For most it is based on low activity and high caloric and fat intake. For some it's moderate to high activity, but often still incorporates a diet that is fighting against their healthy day to day habits. Individuals who are suffering from the consequences of unhealthy weight need a solution that will not only help them drop the weight, but will teach them how to keep it off.

One such solution is homeopathic HCG. While on homeopathic HCG individuals are limited to a limited diet and they are required to take the homeopathic HCG drops orally 3 times per day. The diet is limited to a short list of foods including lean meats, fruits, vegetables and very specific starches. The presence of the HCG in the body allows the individual to function normally on the low calorie diet.

The presence of the HCG in the body also enables the individual's body to re-develop its natural treatment of fat. While on the homeopathic HCG diet, individuals are not only able to empty out fat cells, but their body is able to absorb the empty fat cells. This means that once they have successfully completed the diet, they won't have the immediate problem of immediately gaining weight back when they start incorporating more calories and a wider variety of foods. Their body is functioning at a more healthy level.

While on the HCG individuals also learn to appreciate good foods. They learn how to prepare lean meats and they become accustomed to the tastes of foods simply prepared without oils or butter. They develop a taste and often a preference for raw fruits and vegetables. They detach from the excessive starch eating that is prevalent in American society. The altered lifestyle along with the altered functions in the way the body treats fat means that the individuals are able to successfully maintain a healthy weight even after they've completed the program.
