However, when hormone-replacement therapy in the form of HCG injections or drops is added to the equation, you do not actually need to consume that many calories. In fact, you don’t even feel it, in most cases, because your body is eating up your excess fat at a prodigious rate to the point that you may lose weight per day.

Does it Really Work?

In many cases, people have indeed experienced those kinds of weight loss results. However, weight a day is more realistic for most people on the HCG diet. That’s still nothing to sneeze at, however. Losing 40 pounds in six weeks is an impressive achievement, made all the more attainable with the use of HCG.

Here’s the math: if you are an average woman, you normally need 2,000 – 2,300 calories per day. Men require 2,700 – 2,900 calories. While on the HCG program, you are ingesting far less.

So, let’s say you need 2,weight loss per day in order to maintain your basic metabolic functions. That extra 2,000 calories have to come from somewhere, right? This is where HCG comes into the equation. By unlocking those excess fat deposits, this hormone makes those fat cells available to your body as fuel.

Okay, there’s a problem. There’s 3,weight loss in a pound of human fat. Therefore, even if you are following the HCG diet, you aren’t going to burn that many calories in a day. 2,500 – 500 = 2,000, which is not quite a pound’s worth. Right?

Not necessarily.

Preparation for the Diet

Remember, before you start the HCG diet, you are to spend two days gorging yourself on all the high-fat food you can lay your hands on. The purpose is to rev up your metabolic rate so that you are actually burning more calories than you would normally.

The other factor is to deny yourself fat in any form whatsoever, which means eliminating any form of fat that may be applied topically – as in skin creams and many kinds of soap. Most of these products contain vegetable fat in some form. Since your body craves and needs fat, it will actually absorb it from that source.

While on the HCG diet, you want to deny your body any other source of fat other than those adipose deposits around your belly, hips and thighs. Normally, these fat cells are locked up in a form that is unavailable until all other sources of nutrients have been exhausted. HCG actually unlocks those sources while directing the hypothalamus gland (the part of the brain that regulates the endocrine system and metabolic processes) to use them. Thus the reason you lose weight fast and why you lose weight from those “hard to lose” areas.

Eat To Get Ready

Once you have your HCG drops and complete homeopathic HCG weight loss plan, you’ll need to do something that may feel very odd. You need to indulge yourself as much as possible for two days. Gorge yourself on cream puffs, ice cream, lasagna, pizza, deep-fried chicken, sour cream enchiladas, ham and mashed potatoes with gravy, buttered peas – anything goes, as long as it’s high in fat content.  Enjoy it, because you won’t see these foods again for at least six weeks.

Why? The purpose is to prepare your body for what is to come. Stuffing your body with all these fat laden edibles will actually have the effect of revving up your metabolism, giving it momentum for the length of your weight loss program.

Let The Weight Loss Plan Begin

Once you start taking homeopathic HCG weight loss remedy, you will start eating like an ascetic in a medieval monastery. You will get three extremely small meals a day. These meals with consist of of very lean meat and fresh vegetables. All your food will be baked or broiled – absolutely no frying or fat of any kind will be allowed. You may even have to forgo skin creams and soaps that contain fat, even if that means bathing in plain water.

Why? The reason is that your body requires a certain amount of fat from your diet. What you want is for your body to have no choice but to obtain the fat it needs from your excess stores. Of course, it won’t do this on its own, which is why the homeopathic HCG weight loss remedy is a necessary component for your weight loss plan.

The excess fat around your abdomen or hips is in a form that cannot be readily accessed as a nutrient unless it is broken down chemically and the hypothalamus, which ultimately controls all endocrine functions, is directed somehow to consume these fat stores.

This is what HCG does: promotes the breaking down fat deposits into an available form while programming the hypothalamus to consume these reserves in order to keep the metabolic rate high. Your body requires between 1,500 and 2,weight loss a day to operate.  It will get the fat and calories somehow. On the HCG diet, your body has no choice but to get those calories from your fat deposits.

It’s that simple!

Where HCG Comes From

HCG is an all-natural substance, consisting of chains of amino acids that form proteins. The purpose being to regulate certain metabolic processes in the human body. This is what a hormone is, and in the case of HCG, the main function is to protect the fetus during the gestation process. Not only does HCG regulate overall metabolism, it also prevents the mother’s system from leeching nutrients from her baby and keeps the mother’s immune system from attacking the fetus (which could otherwise happen due to the presence of the father’s DNA).

A baby is born with an abundant supply of HCG, which remains throughout childhood and adolescence. Today’s modern diet with its overly processed foods and chemical adulterants eventually leech all of this HCG out of our bodies by adulthood.

What Happens Then?

If your body is your home, the thermostat is the hypothalamus gland. HCG controls this thermostat. When it is absent and fuel is in short supply, the hypothalamus, instead of accessing the body’s reserve fuel that is carried around the waist and hips, starts cannibalizing the superstructure instead. The first thing to go is muscle tissue, followed by structural fat, such as viscera. It is as if a house started burning its own drywall and framing to maintain heat instead of using the spare fuel tank outside the garage.

Not only that, the rate at which fuel is expended slows down to a crawl. This is what makes a traditional diet so ineffective.

Taking HCG, which is really nothing more than hormone replacement therapy, the hypothalamus is literally reprogrammed to unlock the unsightly fat stores around the belly and hips while maintaining a normal metabolic rate.

Preparations

Dr. Simeons’ protocol calls for two days of abject gluttony, followed by up to forty days of monastic deprivation, eating a mere weight loss a day from a diet limited to lean meat and vegetables – no potatoes, dairy products, breads or sugars. While this may seem dreadful, while on the HCG you’ll find it is actually quite tolerable – and it’s not forever. Anyone can do anything for forty days.
