Human Chorio Gonadotropin, or HCG: we’re all born with it, men and women alike. But largely, chemicals in our food cause our bodies to lose it. The oral HCG diet helps to replenish those supplies and create a natural pathway by which fat is ushered out.
It’s amazing how much our modern practices have led to imbalances in our bodies. For example, Candida yeast is another culprit in the disappearance of the limited amount of HCG we all got when we were born. Yeast, a fungus, grows in the body when the good bacteria that we need for balance in our digestive systems is destroyed.
That happens when we take antibiotics, which don’t distinguish between good and bad bacteria and which most of us have been prescribed at some point in our lives. In other words, in most cases, bye-bye HCG.
It’s a vicious cycle: you’re given penicillin (multiple times, starting as a kid), you develop yeast in your digestive system (which probably goes undetected), you lose your HCG, your body can’t regulate fat so well anymore, you become overweight, and your life is too busy to lose it.
The oral HCG diet helps give back a little of that long-lost HCG. When you take the small recommended dosage each day along with a 500-calorie diet, the HCG uses its old fat-regulation power, which your body hasn’t experienced in possibly years, to make sure fat, not muscle or bone, is converted to energy to compensate for the calories that weren’t consumed. You might feel a little hungry, but nothing like what you might expect.
Also, you don’t want to exercise while on the HCG diet—at least not much or not very strenuously, because the whole idea is to not send your body into starvation mode. Wait until the weight’s off, and then exercise, which is another wonderfully natural healthy habit. Exercise can help pick up where HCG left off. It’s all about restoring the body’s natural ability to regulate itself, that natural inclination toward balance and health.
