Keep Muscle Mass While Losing Fat With the HCG Diet Plan

Friday, February 5th, 2010

The HCG diet plan is a vast improvement over other kinds of low calorie diet plans. Why should this be? The primary reason is that under Dr. Simeons’ protocols using HCG, you hold on to your lean muscle tissue and protective visceral fat while getting rid of the unsightly excess fat deposits around the  belly and hips – an unnatural and normally difficult to get rid of form of fat known as adipose.

The secret lies in how HCG works.

Where Adipose Comes From

Dr. A.T.W. Simeons came to the conclusion that adipose was an unnatural phenomenon that was due largely to a combination of genetics and the dramatic change that agriculture brought to the natural human lifestyle. Adipose deposits are the result of three major causes:

  • evolution (as a survival mechanism)
  • genetics (a trait passed on from parent to offspring)
  • agriculture (eating patterns and new foods)

Let’s take a look at these one at a time.

Darwin Had a Point

While it may seem counter-intuitive that Nature would come up with a survival technique that ultimately undermines our health, keep in mind that Nature does not always select the best solution. She will go with virtually any solution.

When early proto-humans and apes went their separate ways some 4-8 million years ago, this split was largely due to geologic events that cut them off from the rainforest and confined them to a hot, dry savannah where food sources were unreliable. The humans most likely to survive were those who could store life-giving fat against lean times.

Big Girls Rule, Skinny Chicks Drool

If prehistoric statues of full-breasted, large hipped women are any indication, it is likely that fat women were considered desirable mates during the Stone Age. This is still true in many parts of Africa and the South Pacific islands. When such women are preferred mates, guess what happens with their children and grandchildren?

New Foods, New Demands

Agriculture is a relatively recent phenomenon – and it not only introduced many new foods into the human diet, it changed our normal eating patterns.  It forced us to “chow down” at widely-spaced intervals, instead of nibbling as we needed to.

The body has to do something with those excess calories.

Here at this site, you’ll learn much more about how Dr. Simeons’ protocols and how the HCG diet plan can help you lose weight while keeping muscle mass.

Why Does the HCG Diet Plan Work so Well?

Monday, February 1st, 2010

By now, you know that the HCG diet plan achieves amazing results for those who use the hormone correctly and follow Dr. Simeons’ protocols carefully. This has to do with how HCG works in harmony with your body rather than fighting its natural tendencies.

The HCG Story

HCG is a naturally-occurring hormone that women produce when they are carrying a child. This hormone, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, serves a number of functions during the gestation process, all of which protect the health of the fetus.

First, HCG regulates the metabolic processes of both mother and fetus. Secondly, it protects the fetus from the mother’s immune system, much like anti-rejection drugs in transplant patients. Third, it prevents the mother’s system from leeching nutrients from the fetus in case of malnutrition.

The normal human baby comes into the world with a full supply of HCG in his/her system. Unfortunately, the modern diet of processed, chemically adulterated foods can deplete a child’s system of HCG very quickly.  By the time the child has reached adulthood, this natural supply of HCG has virtually disappeared.

It’s Hormone Replacement Therapy

All you are doing when taking HCG is replacing what time and diet has taken away. Herein lies the key to how HCG works.

During his research in India back in the 1930s and 1940s, Dr. Simeons came to the conclusion that the excess body fat that tends to collect around the abdomen and on the hips – technically called “adipose” – is an unnatural form of fat. Although it is rich in life-giving calories and nutrients, it is like gasoline that has solidified and turned to jelly or varnish. It’s still combustible, but it cannot be readily burned in the cylinders of a motor.

This is why when calories are reduced under normal circumstances, our body’s accelerator – the hypothalamus gland – first starts ordering cells to feed off lean muscle tissue (which causes us to “waste away”) and then the visceral fat that provides cushion and lubrication to our internal organs. Only then will it start feeding off of adipose – and at that point, most people feel so weak and discourages and even sick that they abandon their dieting attempts.

HCG treatments literally re-program the hypothalamus to unlock those adipose deposits first, when Dr. Simeons’ protocols and low calorie diet is followed. By cutting calories to the bare minimum on the HCG diet plan, the hypothalamus will automatically extract the extra calories needed to maintain normal metabolism from those stubborn adipose deposits.

Taking the HCG Drops

When you first start the HCG diet, you are asked to eat a lot of fatty foods to kick start your metabolism, which lasts for two days. Then on the third day, you are asked to start the very low calorie diet (VLCD). At first, the restrictive diet will be hard. Your mind will beg for more food and your stomach will agree. Don’t worry. In a few days, you will start burning the adipose fat and feel fine.

Why the HCG Diet Plan Works

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

So you’ve heard of this revolutionary new HCG diet plan.  You’re probably wondering just what makes it so revolutionary.  How is it different from all those other supposed miracle diets out there?

HCG: Miracle Diet?
Well, first of all, because it is a miracle diet, according to a lot of people who had given up on miracles. People who had resigned themselves to being trapped in unhealthy bodies are losing weight. People who were literally weighed down by fat that nothing seemed able to rid them of are dropping pounds by the day.  Can you imagine the hopelessness of feeling like nothing you did was going to help your situation?

Or maybe you don’t have to imagine. Maybe you’re there in your life right now.  Maybe you’re looking for a miracle, and you’re reading this in the hope that HCG can give you one.

Obesity a Disease
The thing about obesity is that it is actually a disease.  But obese people, similarly to alcoholics, are often blamed for a condition that they are genetically predisposed to be in. This condition is usually impossible to overcome without medical or professional assistance.

However, the difference is that alcoholism can’t be cured.  Recovered alcoholics must avoid alcohol, or the disease will come back to claim them.  It’s always lurking there in the wings, waiting for them to slip up and let it back in.

When you use HCG to treat obesity, it’s a little different.  No, you shouldn’t revert back to old unhealthy nutritional habits.  But HCG does actually help to change your metabolism, so that your body won’t be so inclined to hoard unnecessary fat.  In that way, HCG could be considered a cure for obesity—and a miracle to boot.

How HCG Works
So how does HCG work?  Well, HCG is the hormone produced by pregnant women.  We’re all born with a limited amount in our bodies, but chemicals in our foods and imbalances in our digestive tracts lead to the loss of it.  Because HCG works with the hypothalamus gland to regulate fat usage and storage, once we’ve lost it, it’s harder for our bodies to perform this function.

So the HCG plan is pretty simple. It puts the HCG back in our bodies, and the HCG helps to reawaken that dormant fat-regulating mechanism.

3 Reasons to Try the HCG Diet Today

Friday, January 1st, 2010

If you are ready to lose weight but need a push to take that next step, then let us convince you to give the HCG diet a try. Before you start your weight loss journey, make sure you know the reasons why you want to lose weight. Is it to improve your health, improve your appearance, or just to feel better about yourself? Once you know why you want to lose weight, here are three reasons you should give our diet plan a try:

1.    Lose weight quickly and safely

Studies show that you are more likely to stick with a diet plan if you see quick results. Our diet offers lightning-fast results. In fact, it’s not unusual to expect a weight loss of 26 pounds in 26 days. If you are in need of constant motivation to stick with a program, you can’t get much better than that. In addition, this weight loss is completely natural and safe, something that most other diet products simply can’t claim.

2.    Have energy to burn and never feel hungry

If you have been feeling sluggish and tired for years, take heart: this diet plan will not only help you lose weight, it will give you energy. As your body burns all that excess fat, it releases stored-up energy that you haven’t felt for years. This same process of burning excess fat will also help keep hunger pains at bay. So while you are on a low-calorie diet, you will never feel hungry, weak or deprived. No other low-calorie diet plan can make that same claim.

3.    Learn portion control and other important behaviors

While most diet plans force you into a mode of behavior that can never be practiced in the real world–only eat this, never eat that–our diet plan helps you learn the fundamentals of healthy eating. You will learn portion control. You will learn to love fresh foods and lean meats. You will learn to recognize when you feel full. These are behaviors you will continue to use the rest of your life, even when you are no longer losing weight.

The HCG diet plan is designed to work with your body so you can lose weight quickly and safely. You will never have to deprive yourself of anything, and within just a few short months, you will feel like a new person. Don’t hesitate to start your life transformation today!

How the HCG Diet Plan Will Change Your Life Forever

Monday, December 28th, 2009

The HCG diet plan is a proven method of losing weight and keeping it off. But did you know that in losing weight, you will actually change your life? It’s true–by simply taking the hormone as directed and following the eating program, you are making profound changes in your body that will help you the rest of your life.

Reprograms the hypothalamus, triggering weight loss

If you have been struggling with weight issues for years, then the likely culprit is an HCG deficiency. Without a proper reserve of this hormone, your hypothalamus is not regulated and you burn lean muscle tissue rather than excess fat. When your levels of the hormone are restored, your hypothalamus knows to burn excess fat for fuel, and that puts you on the fast track to weight loss.

Resets the metabolism, making weight loss permanent

If you are one of those people whose metabolism has slowed to a crawl over the years, take note: you can recapture your past glory. Once your hypothalamus is running smoothly, it resets your metabolism. This gives your body the miraculous chance of a “do-over.” So while you are losing weight, you are also transforming your metabolism, a change that will benefit your whole life.

Reverse obesity-related illnesses for a chance at better health

If you have been told you have obesity-related health issues, including high blood pressure and a prediabetic condition, then losing weight quickly can give your body a chance to reverse these illnesses. Most people with obesity-related health issues need to lose weight quickly but cannot handle heavy exercise and stringent diets. That’s why the HCG diet program is such a perfect solution. It gives you rapid weight loss without the need to exercise or try a crazy diet.

Get back self-confidence, reclaim your self-image

If your weight issues are destroying your self-confidence, then you need all the positive reinforcement you can get. With this plan, you will lose weight quickly, have energy and feel great. Knowing that you can win this weight battle, and knowing that you will look and feel fabulous, will give you back the self-confidence that has been destroyed by obesity.  You can do this!

These physical and emotional changes will have a tremendous impact on your life, giving you the power to reclaim your existence. Not only will you change your life, you will empower and inspire others to follow your lead. Don’t hesitate to start that journey today!

The HCG Diet Plan on the Go

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

In a world where we find ourselves heading straight for a drive through when we’re hungry, keeping to the HCG diet plan is tough.  It gets even harder if you live a fast paced life full of over-scheduled stress.  With a little preparation and planning, you can stick to the plan and find success.  Here are some tips on how to do it.

Tips to Stay on the Diet
The beginning of the diet is the easy part.  There is no 500 calorie limit for the first two days.  Eat as much fattening food as you want, all day long if you want.  The extra fat helps your body kick start its metabolic cycle and allows the HCG to get right to work.

Once you hit the restrictive part of the diet, you’ll have to turn on your creative side and plan ahead for the day.  Before you get this far, however, it is a good idea to head out to the store and pick up some small sealing lid containers.

Start the day with breakfast at home.  Since protocol calls for coffee or tea in any quantity, enjoy a good bit of it before you head out the door.  You can take some with you when you head out the door in the morning.  Take some later in the day, but before lunch to help tide you over for a little while.

Your lunch meal will consist of 100 grams of a lean meat, a vegetable, a bread, and a fruit.  There are literally hundreds of combinations to  choose from, and if you prepare the meals in advance, you eliminate the possibility of eating more than you’re allowed.  You’re allowed turkey, white fish, beef, chicken, shrimp, and lobster, so you should be able to find something you like.  For dinner, you get the same choices, so prepare something in advance if you’re going to be out of the house for dinnertime.

Remember that successful dieting comes from a positive mindset.  Don’t focus on what you can’t have, but rather on new ways to take what you can have with you.

How to Use HCG for Weight Loss

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

If you are ready to start improving your life, you need to know how to use HCG for weight loss. The beauty of the HCG diet plan is its simplicity–there’s no need to count carbs or track your calories. There are really only 5 steps you need to follow to ensure success on the program:

1.    Take Oral HCG Drops Regularly for Success

The key to the HCG diet program is oral HCG, which will safely and naturally replenish your body’s reserves of the hormone. Oral HCG needs no refrigeration, so you can take it with you anytime, anywhere. Simply take your oral HCG drops as directed throughout the day, that’s the first key to success on the program.

2.    Restrict Your Caloric Intake with the HCG Diet Plan

Another important part of the HCG diet plan is the low-calorie diet. Restricting your caloric intake to around 500 calories per day will help jump start your weight loss, but while taking HCG you won’t feel hungry or deprived. By following the recommendations we set forth in the HCG Diet Direct Recipe Guide, you can enjoy meals that are delicious and nutritious.

3.    Stick with Lean Meats and Fresh Fruits and Veggies for Weight Loss

The HCG diet is not about frankenfoods. We do not endorse weight loss shakes or protein bars and do not feel those are essential for weight loss success. Our diet is centered on lean meats, fresh fruits, and vegetables in small portions. Be very wary of any diet program that promises you success only if you eat the foods they provide. You should learn to eat real food in order to maintain success after you have met your weight loss goal.

4.    The HCG Diet Plan Does Not Include the Gym

While you are on the HCG diet plan, do not hit the gym. Because HCG helps your body recognize the difference between fat and lean muscle tissue, you will not lose muscle mass while you are on the diet. Use the extra time to spend with your family and your friends. You will not be a slave to the treadmill on the HCG diet program.

5.    Enjoy Renewed Energy and Rapid Weight Loss with HCG

As you begin to lose weight, you’ll notice that you begin meeting your goals quickly. That’s because the HCG diet program is designed to work with your body to give it everything it needs for success. You won’t feel hungry between meals. You’ll have renewed energy. Dieters feel great on the HCG diet program, and you will too.

Follow these five steps on the HCG program, and you will meet your goal in no time. So why wait? Begin your personal journey to weight loss achievement today!
