Why The Oral HCG Weight Loss Method Is Better

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

There is an ongoing debate about the relative merits of HCG drops vs. HCG injections. Our website is of the opinion that the oral HCG weight loss program is superior to the injections when it comes to effective weight loss. There are a multitude of reasons why we take this position, not the least of which is that people who use drops are more likely to stay with the HCG diet.

About HCG Injections

The primary use of HCG in the medical profession is by fertility specialists. Regular injections of HCG can help couples who are unable to conceive otherwise. It does this by stimulating the production of eggs in women and raising testosterone in men, thus increasing sperm count.

HCG injections have been a standard fertility treatment for many years. Such injections are also used “off label” by a small number of exclusive weight reduction clinics. Therein lays one of the problems with this form of HCG.

While there is nothing wrong with “off-label” use of a medication (doctors do it quite frequently), the injectable form of HCG is legally available only by prescription. A large part of this has to do with the needle syringes. If you have these without a valid prescription, you are risking a great deal (for reasons that should be obvious).

This is also why you should not order “HCG Injection Kits” online. Most of the websites that offer these kits – which include illegal syringes – are located in foreign countries where the homeopathic remedy industry is not well-regulated. When you order from such sources, you have no real guarantee of what you are getting, or if you will get anything at all. Predators and con artists are still plentiful on the Internet, and many people have learned the hard way that due diligence is necessary before doing business with anyone.

About HCG Drops

One of the greatest advantages to HCG drops as opposed to injections is the ease of use. Whereas the injection solution must be mixed by the end user and carefully measured into a syringe, the oral drops are ready for your use. All you need to do is place four-tenths of a milliliter (about 14-16 drops) under your tongue and hold them there a few minutes without swallowing while the medication is absorbed into your system. (The reason you don’t swallow directly is because homeopathic compounds are rendered ineffective by stomach acid.)

The other advantage is that HCG drops are easy and legal to obtain from reliable sources. In the U.S. Homeopathic remedies are made by laboratories that require a license and are required to hire only workers with certified pharmaceutical training and experience.

The best indication that you are dealing with a reliable and legitimate source is to see an actual physical address on the website along with a phone number. Any e-mail correspondence should be addressed to the same domain (so in other words, something like “customerinfo@xyzhomeopathics.com”). If you are directed to a Gmail or Hotmail account, it’s not a good sign.  You should definitely keep shopping for your oral HCG weight loss supplies.

Oral HCG Weight Loss: Managing Hunger on the Program

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Oral HCG weight loss regulates your hypothalamus, allowing it to function properly and burn the excess fat that causes obesity. As this extra fat is burned, it provides your body with the extra nutrients and calories it needs. So even though you stick to a very low calorie diet on the plan, you should not feel hungry between meals.

Having said that, some dieters report occasional hunger pains while on the program. Usually these feelings of hunger can be traced to a dietary or emotional issue, and not the failure of the hormone to do its job properly. If you are feeling hungry, check to make sure you aren’t making the following mistakes:

Are you using artificial sweeteners?

The protocol only calls for stevia, an all-natural sweetener, on the program. If you are using aspartame, splenda, saccharine, or anything else these chemicals can actually send hunger signals to the brain. Switch to stevia and see if the hunger pains abate.

Did you “load” properly?

Before you go on the low-calorie diet, you are supposed to “load” on high-calorie and high-fat foods for a couple of days. If you did not consume enough fat during this time, you may feel hungry while you are on the VCLD. This period is crucial because it gets the body ready to access those abnormal fat stores.

Are you really hungry?

It’s common to mistake emotional eating for real physical hunger. Before you start eating, spend a few moments and assess your feelings. Why are you craving food? A huge part of this plan is learning proper eating behaviors, and cutting out emotional eating is a crucial element. If you are an emotional eater, we have resources available to help you.

Are you consuming caffeine?

Saying no to caffeine is another big part of the program. If you are consuming caffeine on a regular basis, it will prompt feelings of hunger. It is easier for some people to slowly step down the amount of caffeine in their systems rather than go cold turkey. So switch from coffee to green tea and slowly stagger the green tea down until you are drinking only the herbal teas we recommend.

Are you sneaking in exercise?

Exercise is strictly forbidden on the plan. Since you are consuming very few calories, you should not burn them up by working out. The hypothalamus is learning to function properly and will not burn your lean muscle tissue. So don’t worry, you will still have muscle tone even if you don’t hit the gym for 40 days.

Additional Health Benefits of Using HCG

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

It’s interesting how you can focus on one aspect of making your body healthier, such as your weight, and you unexpectedly become healthier in other ways, too.  This frequently happens with HCG.  People undergo the oral HCG weight loss plan, and other health problems end up being fixed in the process.

Treat One Thing Fix Another
I’ve experienced this phenomenon in my own life. Several years ago, I stopped my consumption of coffee, processed sugar, fried foods, and dairy, in the effort to feel better, to be calmer, and to stop having heart palpitations.  I wasn’t trying to lose weight, but the weight fell off.

A year or two later, I went to a chiropractor for relief from the back and neck pain that had plagued me since I was a teenager.  Throughout the course of my treatment, my allergies and my digestive issues got a lot better.  I was less surprised this time, because I had a much better appreciation by then of how you can’t separate one part or function of the body from another. How it’s all connected.

Lose Weight and Lose Weight Related Illnessess
So it doesn’t really surprise me to learn that HCG dieters who suffer from diseases such as diabetes experience improvement in their conditions. People with stable cases of diabetes who have undergone the HCG diet have witnessed the steady dropping, day to day, of their blood sugar levels.  High blood pressure and high cholesterol are other conditions that are markedly improved. Sometimes, like diabetes, to the extent that patients can even stop taking their medications—with their doctors’ approval, of course.

These results make perfect sense to me. After all, being overweight tends to go hand in hand and often lead to diabetes (the type 2, adult-onset variety), high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Therefore, it would follow that solving the weight problem would also help with these other issues.  But often you can lose weight and still experience high cholesterol or blood pressure, maybe from not putting the focus on good nutrition.

The HCG plan puts the focus on true, complete health rather than a superficial substitute.

Oral HCG Weight Loss: Just One Benefit of HCG

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG, currently has a lot of benefits and medical uses.  If you’re on the oral HCG weight loss plan or looking into it, it might be interesting to know some of the other medical uses of the hormone.

For example, it is used as a tumor marker for certain types of cancers, specifically with gestational trophoblastic disease and germ cell tumors.  HCG is a consistently reliable screener for these diseases and can also help determine when treatments aren’t working very well.

Gestational trophoblastic tumors always produce a level of HCG that correlates with the mass of the tumor and thus is useful in prognosis.  HCG levels are also incredibly sensitive; they will be elevated even in cases where the tumors are very small.  HCG is actually essential in the treatment of trophoblastic neoplasms and in the periodic monitoring of patients who have completed their treatment.

While HCG levels are sometimes elevated in conjunction with other types of cancer, including breast, lung, and gastrointestinal, the hormone does not yet have much clinical application in the treatment of these types.  However, it is believed that HCG may have some hand in the prevention of breast cancer.

HCG is also used to increase natural testosterone production in men, thus increasing physical energy and eliminating chronic fatigue, improving sex drive and performance, improving mood and reducing depression, and increasing lean muscle mass—just to name some of the benefits.  It also increases sperm count and is therefore a useful treatment for male fertility issues; it is also used as a fertility treatment in women.

Of course, if you’re using HCG for weight loss, you’re probably already aware of the benefits involved with that:  limiting hunger pangs, resetting the metabolism, losing fat rather than muscle and bone.  Let’s face it:  what we have here is sort of a miracle hormone.

Try Oral HCG, Weight Loss Will Follow

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

If you begin taking oral HCG, weight loss will surely come as a result of your efforts.  Of all of the diets out there these days, the HCG approach is proving to be the most effective of all.  Many diets claim to bring tremendous results but only the HCG diet truly delivers the results that you are looking for. Take just a moment to gain an understanding of how and why oral HCG is superior to other diet alternatives.

HCG is a naturally occurring hormone that is found in every living person, but it is found at highest levels in pregnant women.  Research and studies have found that when an individual who is not pregnant takes HCG, their metabolism increases and their appetite decreases.  These twin factors make for a perfect scenario for one who is trying to lose weight.  This has proven to be the case such that many people are losing as much as 26 pounds in 26 days by taking oral HCG.

There was a period of time when the HCG diet was beginning to develop a bad reputation.  This was largely because dieters were required to receive the HCG through injection.  This was costly, painful, and some said even dangerous.  Now, however, the diet has advanced as such that it is now possible to enjoy the benefits of HCG by taking an oral formulation.  There is nothing to fear when taking oral HCG and you can count on losing a substantial amount of weight.  Try oral HCG today and you can count on losing weight immediately thereafter.

If You Are Adverse to Injections, Try Oral HCG Weight Loss

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

The HCG Diet is all of the rage these days, but because many people have a fear of needles and injections, they refuse to consider it – these people should take into mind oral HCG weight loss methods.  Some studies have shown that oral HCG weight loss is just as effective a method as HCG injections.  Because this oral method of HCG dieting is proving to be effective, those with a fear of HCG shots can reap the rewards of HCG dieting that was once only available when administered intramuscularly.

If you are unfamiliar with the HCG diet, it is something that is definitely worth devoting some attention to.  This is particularly true for those who struggle with weight problems.  There are individuals with severe obesity problems who seem to be unable to find any diet or lifestyle choice that helps them lose weight.  On the other hand, there are those who just can’t seem to shed that stubborn bit of weight that has been troubling them for so long.  Both of these classes of people stand to benefit from the HCG diet.  There is a litany of health problems stemming from both obesity and weight problems that can be avoided by finding a diet that genuinely sheds the pounds.  The HCG method can be just that diet.

There is no reason to let your fear of needles stand in your way of a new and improved life.  The recent advancements in oral HCG weight loss provide the framework within which you can work to shed those stubborn pounds and obtain a new style of healthy living.
