The 500 Calorie Diet that HCG Inspired

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Feeling inspired by HCG is commonplace. It’s inspired all kinds of people in all kinds of situations to change their lifestyle. It’s inspired them to eat healthy and lose weight. The 500 calorie diet HCG is an intense weight loss inspiration to many; it offers possibilities that were not available before.

Limiting yourself to 500 calories per day wouldn’t work in any other situation. The diet is ultimately dependent upon the HCG. It makes functioning on the very low amount of calories possible. It offers a distinct physiological function benefiting people who want to lose weight by eating less. The homeopathic HCG weight loss formula makes dieters NOT hungry and it also stimulates the body’s ability to absorb empty fat cells.

The 500 calorie diet HCG inspired requires dieters to stick to a very limited list of approved foods. The diet requires that all fatty foods are cut from the diet including fatty proteins. This means that dieters have a very limited variety for the duration of the diet. But this 500 calorie diet comes with handy tools that make “mixing it up” easy when dieters choose to access their weight loss results through HCG Diet Direct.

With HCG Diet Direct’s homeopathic HCG weight loss formula the 500 calorie diet that HCG inspired comes hand-in-hand with online advice and information as well as a very useful eCookbook that many dieters claim is the main reason they were able to endure the limited food options. Dieters are encouraged to keep track of their successes and failures, their progression and their obstacles as they go through the program. And they are encouraged to get in touch with any comments or suggestions. We never tire of hearing about our customer’s successes here at HCG Diet Direct.

HCG Diet Direct suggests following the plan exactly. Don’t assume that you can obtain the best end results without following the rules. Average weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per day are well worth the temporary eating limitations. The easiest way to avoid breaking the rules is to avoid putting yourself in temptation’s path. Don’t buy foods off plan. Your kids and your spouse can eat healthy for a bit. Don’t go out to eat. Take your lunch to work. You get the picture; it’s a very short program so I know you can do it.

If you still find the prospect of sticking to the 500 calorie diet, HCG Diet Direct urges you to just imagine the average weight loss of one to two pounds being all yours. That’s 1 to 2 pounds per day of weight loss. Dieters who follow the plan are typically capable of maintaining their weight loss as well so you’ll not only be satisfied with your successful weight loss, but you’ll be able to enjoy a healthier lifestyle for the long run.

Two Sample HCG Recipes

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Interest in the HCG program is great and there is no wonder why. It offers fantastic results. But one thing that most prospective dieters would like to see before they decide to go for it is the actual food that will be eaten while on the program. So…in response we’re offering up two sample recipes for you to try before committing to the diet.

Sample Recipe #1: Chicken Marinara

List of ingredients:
chicken, 100 grams
tomato, 1 small, diced
garlic, 2 to 3 cloves
oregano, 1 teaspoon
basil, 1 teaspoon
chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon
garlic powder, just a dash
salt and pepper, just a dash

Simple directions:
Oven should be preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place half of the tomatoes at the bottom of the casserole dish followed by the chicken after it has been seared for a couple minutes on each side with the benefit of garlic powder, salt and pepper. When you add the chicken to the casserole dish also add the garlic (minced). In a separate, small bowl you should toss the remaining tomatoes with the oregano, basil and chili powder. Place the tossed ingredients over the chicken in the casserole. Cover the casserole dish and cook it for 50 to 60 minutes. Serve it warm and enjoy!

Many enjoy the second sample recipe, Turkey and Tomato Soup:

List of ingredients:
turkey, 100 grams, cooked
tomatoes, 2 cans stewed or crushed (preferably of the organic variety)
garlic, 3 cloves, crushed
red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons
parsley, just a pinch
cumin, just a pinch
basil, just a pinch
rosemary, just a pinch
red pepper flakes, just a pinch

Simple directions:
Cook tomatoes, garlic and all seasonings (just a pinch) in a pot for five minutes. Throw in the turkey and bring it to a boil, cooking for another 5 to 10 minutes after it hits a rolling boil. Turn off the heat and serve the soup warm. Enjoy!

Trying out 2 recipes might not give you an all inclusive idea of what to expect on the program, but it will give you an idea of what’s possible. And what’s possible is that you can eat healthy and still enjoy what you’re eating. The HCG program is a weight loss program so fudge and cheesecake aren’t on the menu…but you’ll be surprised at how much you like what is on the menu!

Homeopathic HCG: Who Does it Work For?

Monday, May 17th, 2010

There are a lot of people on HCG. It was originally intended as a cure for obesity, but many others are taking advantage of the benefits of the all natural dieting method.

The HCG program as introduced originally by Dr. Simeon was presented as a cure for obesity. But it has since become obvious that the program is effective for all levels of weight loss. This has drastically increased the number of individuals turning to it for help in their weight loss efforts. People turning to homeopathic HCG for weight loss include those looking to develop a healthier lifestyle by attaining a healthier weight. The group also includes many who are hoping to avoid negative family health history issues with preventive weight control methods. Others are just wanting to lose that last bit of weight left after pregnancy. And some just need to lose the 10 pounds they noticed when they weighed themselves on their 40th birthday. There are many reasons. And each one will be different. The reason doesn’t matter. Any reason for turning to homeopathic HCG is a good one.

Basically…any person who would like to lose any amount of weight can take advantage of homeopathic HCG successfully. The diet offers extraordinary results with no side effects. Dieters do not have to wait months or years to see results. And the actual time period required to dedicate to the program is minimal. And best of all…HCG dieters tend to keep the weight off due to the maintenance period after the diet program that teaches them how to slowly incorporate larger portions and additional foods into their diet.

The most stringent part of the program is the limited amount of food allowed. Dieters can only have 500 calories per day. And the calories have to come from a very limited list of HCG approved foods. But with the help of the HCG stimulating the hypothalamus the eating/drinking portion of the brain does not kick the body into starvation mode. HCG dieters are able to go about their day-to-day business without severe hunger pains or decreased functionality.

The homeopathic HCG diet works; not just for a few, but for everyone. It works with people regardless of gender. It works for people regardless of the amount of weight to be lost. It works for people regardless of age. It doesn’t pick and choose. It’s an all natural material that is just doing its job. And the result is weight loss.

So while we should all congratulate Dr. Simeon for his efforts in decreasing the obesity issue through proper and effective weight loss…we shouldn’t limit his legacy. He’s actually helping a much wider portion of the population through his introduction of the weight loss benefits of HCG. And in addition to helping people reach healthier weights…his program is helping people learn how to incorporate healthy foods into their diets. And that’s the sort of habit that will definitely make a difference.

The Oral HCG Weight Loss Method, Diabetes and Other Disorders

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

We should start out by stating that if you suffer from Type I diabetes – the genetic, childhood-onset variety that is treated by regular insulin injections – you should not attempt the oral HCG weight loss method until you have consulted with a physician and had a thorough physical examination.

However, Type II diabetes – the adult-onset variety that is not necessarily insulin dependent and can be controlled through diet – is another matter. Such people may very well benefit from HCG treatments. In fact, according in Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, whose research is the basis of the HCG diet, there are a number of obesity-related conditions that have been known to improve with the administration of HCG.

What Dr. Simeons Noticed

The human chorionic gonadotropic hormone is a biochemical substance that protects the fetus during the early stages of pregnancy. We’ve covered this at length in this blog; what is important to know at this point is the effect of this substance not only on fat, but obesity-related disorders.

There are a number of these conditions, which according to Dr. Simeons involve the diencephalic region of the brain. This includes the hypothalamus, which is directly responsible for endocrine function. Some of these conditions are:

-   Type II diabetes
-   gout
-   rheumatism
-   arthritis
-   hypertension (high blood pressure)
-   atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
-   heart disease
-   cerebral hemorrhage

Now, not all overweight people develop these conditions; conversely, any or all of these can afflict people of normal weight. However, it appears that if obesity does not necessarily cause these disorders, it can certainly aggravate them.

Dr. Simeons noticed that most of these conditions either do not develop during pregnancy, or become less severe. In Pounds and Inches, Dr. Simeons wrote:

“If HCG + diet does in the obese bring about those diencephalic
changes which are characteristic of pregnancy, one would expect
to see an improvement in all these conditions comparable to that
seen in real pregnancy. The administration of HCG does in fact do
this in a remarkable way.” (1954)

HCG and Type II Diabetes

Dr. Simeons states that those suffering from “a fairly advanced case of stable diabetes” (in other words, adult-onset Type II) may in fact be able to stop taking their anti-diabetic medications after three or four days on the HCG diet. This, however, is not the case for those with “brittle,” or Type I diabetes.

The reason lies in the fact that the two forms of diabetes are actually different disorders. Someone who suffers from Type I, childhood-onset diabetes is a person who is born with a non-functional pancreas. This variety is genetic in nature; a victim’s grandparent likely suffered from the same condition. Type II is caused by insulin resistance; the pancreas still produces insulin, but the body’s cells do not respond, often because of a steady overload of carbohydrates. Some people are predisposed to developing Type II diabetes, but it is not genetic and can be treated successfully though diet and weight loss.

HCG Treatments for the Disease Obesity

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Dr. Simeons, who created the HCG diet, believed that obesity was a disease. He believed that people who are obese have a malfunction in their bodies that causes an abnormal tendency to hoard fat. The HCG treatments are thus intended to cure this disease.

This condition differs from that of people who are overweight but can control their weight, losing when they diet and gaining only when they overindulge too much.

When You Do Everything Right…With No Luck

Truly obese people sometimes don’t eat much at all.  They frequently engage in fruitless efforts to diet. The diets result in muscle loss and loss of the fat that pads bones and organs. This fat loss only causes pain.  They might literally be starving, but their bodies will not release the needed fat.  It goes against what we always thought we knew about weight loss, doesn’t it?

Forget Health! A Sad Outcome

Low self-esteem, even emotions so extreme as to be termed self-hatred, can lead to negative reactions to this intense frustration.  Since they can’t seem to lose weight, people might become obsessed with gaining weight instead, just to see how big it’s possible to get.  It’s like the neglected child who will take any attention he can draw to himself, negative or positive.  We want to feel good about our bodies, but if that doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen, we’ll settle for feeling as bad as we can.

Killing Yourself Slowly

Of course, this method is both self-destructive and dangerous.  The heavier you are the more at risk you are for any number of health problems. Cancer, diabetes, and heart disease are just a few of the issues that could develop.  Quality of life plummets. You have no energy and breathing can be difficult. Getting around, whether down the hall or to the store, is awkward and tedious, to say the least.

So before you decide to take any drastic measures, effectively cutting off your nose to spite your face, try the HCG diet.  It might just be the cure for the disease we call obesity.

HCG Treatments: How They Work

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

You may be surprised to learn that HCG itself does not burn fat or cause weight loss! HCG treatments are made up of several components that include reduction of calories and specific menu choices, collectively known as Dr. Simeons’ protocols, which were developed over half a century ago as the result of twenty years of research and experimentation.

When reintroduced into the human body, HCG triggers you own body’s innate fat-burning mechanism by restoring balance to endocrine systems that have been thrown out of balance by the nature of modern life, culture, diet, genetics and a host of other factors.

According to Dr. Simeons…

In today’s “blame-the-victim” culture, it is popular to attribute obesity to personal weakness, gluttony and poor self-control. However, Dr. Simeons realized that obesity is a complex issue with many different causes, which range from psychological and social factors to genetics and even pathologies. In 1954, he wrote that:

“…every ounce of abnormally accumulated fat is always the result
of the same disorder of certain regulatory mechanisms. Persons
suffering from this particular disorder will get fat regardless of whether
they eat excessively, normally or less than normal. A person who is
free of the disorder will never get fat, even if he frequently overeats.”
(From Pounds and Inches, 1954)

He also noted that in some cultures, obesity was “considered a sign of health and prosperity in man and of beauty, amorousness and fecundity in women.” Over the course of the centuries, natural selection made a certain percentage of the population genetically predisposed to be overweight.

Yet another factor lies in our modern eating patterns of taking large meals at widely-spaced intervals:

“The whole structure of man’s omnivorous digestive tract is, like that
of an ape, rat or pig, adjusted to the continual nibbling of tidbits. It is
not suited to occasional gorging as is, for instance, the intestine of the
carnivorous cat family. Thus the institution of regular meals, particularly
of food rendered [digested] rapidly, placed a great burden on modern
man’s ability to cope with large quantities of food suddenly pouring into
his system from the intestinal tract.” (Simeons, 1954)

Not All Fat Is the Same

In his research, Dr. Simeons identified three distinct types of fat:

  • Structural, or visceral fat: this is a type of fat that cushions and protects the internal organs and is embedded in the soles of the feet, allowing us to walk upright
  • Normal reserve fat: this is stored in small amounts throughout the body, providing quick and readily-available energy when needed
  • Abnormal Fat: this is the fat that accumulates around the abdomen, hips and thighs, and is the most difficult to get rid of.

It is the third form of fat that HCG treatments target. You might visualize this type of fat as stocks, bonds and property that may represent real wealth – but is not terribly useful in the event of an emergency that requires ready cash.

HCG is like “liquidating” these assets, making them readily available for your energy needs when you are on a restricted-calorie diet as specified in Dr. Simeons’ protocols.

Why Buy Oral HCG?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Simply put, it’s easier to buy oral HCG and easier to use it if you plan to do the HCG diet on your own. Getting injections by yourself is an uncertain process. Legally, you cannot do this without a prescription, and should not be taking HCG injections without a doctor’s supervision.

This said there is no reason not to take HCG injections, if you have the time and the money to do it. Such clinics are expensive however, and their services are not always covered by health insurance plans.

HCG Diet Clinics

In fact, we operate our own HCG weight loss clinic in Mesa, Arizona where you can receive injections and work with a qualified physician. There are also weight loss clinics offering HCG treatments in Seattle, Chicago and other major cities across the U.S. Chances are good that there is one within a day’s drive of where you live.

If such a journey is not possible, then oral HCG is probably the best solution for you. It is still possible for you to consult with our staff physician over the Internet for a nominal fee if you still have questions and concerns. In fact, regardless of whether you’re using drops or injections, we recommend that you speak with a physician at least once in order to make sure you are following Dr. Simeon’s protocols correctly and getting the most benefit from the HCG program.

Using HCG Oral Drops

Oral HCG is a homeopathic remedy.  It is not like a medication that you simply swallow. The compounds contained in a homeopathic medication are fragile and can easily be destroyed by excessive heat and the digestive acids excreted in the stomach. This is why HCG drops are placed under the tongue and held there while the medication is absorbed into the bloodstream. The usual dosage is 4 milliliters, or approximately 15 drops, administered three times a day prior to meals.

Once this medication is in your bloodstream, it works in two ways. First, it breaks down the nutrient and calorie-rich excess fat deposits (known as “adipose”) into a form that is more readily metabolized. Secondly, it resets your body’s thermostat by re-regulating the hypothalamus gland in such a way that your metabolic rate is not lowered when on the 500 calorie diet.

While you are here, take advantage of our extensive database on HCG topics, and consider purchasing a consultation with our staff physician to make sure you get started right.

How HCG Treatments Can Change the World

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

I believe that HCG treatments can change the world.  More specifically, I’m talking about taking oral, sublingual HCG to treat and ultimately cure obesity, rather than the injection variety that up until recently had been the only available form, and only available to those able to pay a lot for it.

The HCG Secret is Out
HCG was what the stars and the heirs and heiresses used to go to their exclusive clinics to get.  It was their big, expensive secret.  They didn’t want everyone to know about it, because then everyone might have the key to looking as great as they did.  Not to mention feeling great, but I’m not sure how often the rich and famous actually feel great.  Money doesn’t buy happiness, you know.

I’m not sure anything can actually buy happiness, but I’ll tell you what I think leads to it:  good health.  Why wouldn’t the stars’ good health make them happy, then?  Maybe you have to have the propensity to appreciate the little things, everyday joys and pleasures. Enjoy things like the way cinnamon sprinkled on an apple, warmed a little in the microwave, can taste astonishingly like apple pie, but make your body feel so much better, so much more energetic, than real apple pie ever could.

Health and Happiness Go Hand-in-Hand
It’s a chicken or egg question, really it’s hard to say which leads to the other, health or happiness, but I tend to think that they usually just walk hand-in-hand, providing support for each other.  That’s why I think the HCG diet plan, the oral version available to all of us normal people, could change the world. It could actually create a population of happy, healthy people, people who smile and wave at each other. Replacing unhealthy people who lay on their car horns and waving their fists out the windows while their blood pressures mount alarmingly toward the breaking points.

It’s an idealistic vision, I admit.  But the fact that the HCG diet is giving hope to people who before didn’t have any gives me hope that it is a vision that could be someday realized, person by person, family by family, friend by friend.

How Homeopathic HCG Treatments Affect Current Medication

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

While HCG treatments require a doctor’s prescription and supervision in some states, it is not difficult to purchase your own HCG on the World Wide Web. It is even safe to do, as long as you know exactly where it is coming from.

This said, many people have successfully used HCG on their own without the involvement and expense of a physician. You can be among them, but it is smart to educate yourself beforehand regarding treatment options as well as potential side effects. While extremely rare, these are known to occur. In addition, you’ll want to be certain about any potential drug interactions if you are currently taking any prescriptions for other conditions.

Options When It Comes To HCG

By ordering online, you can avoid the expense of a doctor’s examination, which will include very expensive lab tests. As long as you are in good health otherwise, HCG is perfectly safe when purchased from a licensed laboratory operated by qualified personnel.

It is important that you order the oral HCG drops rather than the injectable form and obtain this from a domestic source. HCG manufactured in the U.S. is subject to FDA regulation and oversight. In addition it is subject to the safety standards established by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia, which governs the manufacture of homeopathic remedies in the U.S.

It is true that HCG is normally used as a fertility treatment, and the FDA does not approve its use as a diet medication. However, all this means is that HCG treatments as part of a weight loss program constitute “off-label” use, which is very common in the medical profession.

Drug Interactions

Now, if you are using any kind of prescription drug for a chronic condition or some kind of drug therapy, it is highly advisable to discuss your plans to use HCG with a qualified physician. There is only one currently known interaction when it comes to HCG, and that is with the pituitary gland medication ganirelix.

Some women receive injections of this drug in order to control pituitary secretions. One of the effects of HCG is hyper stimulation of the ovaries (this is why it is effective as a fertility treatment). This may interfere with the action of ganirelix as well as some oral contraceptives. An adjusted dose may be necessary, and again, this requires consultation with a physician.

Known Side Effects

A very small percentage of those who take HCG may experience side effects such as swelling and water retention.

Some side effects can manifest themselves in psychological ways:

  • moodiness
  • irritability
  • depression

In addition, an overall feeling of restlessness or nervousness can occur among individuals who are sensitive to hormonal changes.

More serious side effects may include:

  • undefined pain in the hips and/or abdominal area
  • nausea
  • diarrhea
  • breathing difficulty
  • headache
  • urinary difficulties

It is important to advise a physician and discontinue the use of HCG if you experience these side effects.

Imagine what it would be like to lose those extra 50 or even 100 pounds that you are carrying on your body? How much easier would your life be? How much healthier would you be?

HCG treatments have been shown to have no adverse side effects. Some people who have followed the diet have recorded instances of headaches but it has not been shown that it is directly related to the HCG doses and not to the change in diet or exercise. HCG treatments can only help you. If you really want to lose weight and change your life, then you need to start taking the doses of HCG and follow the HCG diet protocol exactly as it is laid out. It is so important that every aspect of the diet is followed to allow for maximum weight loss.

HCG treatments are now available in two different forms. There are the traditional injections that must be prescribed by a doctor then there are the oral HCG products which can be bought without a prescription. The oral HCG products are a homeopathic version of the injections that have been proven to work just as well as the injections for weight loss. With the oral products you can save money and time and still get the same great weight loss benefits.

Don’t allow yourself to struggle one more day with being overweight or obese. Instead, change your life for the better and get your HCG treatments today, so that you can lose weight, get healthy and live a long life.
