hCG and Weight Loss

By Alina Karemin


Over the years, you've probably enjoyed life's finer points and found yourself gaining extra pounds. Whatever the reason may be, you have now made the decision that you would like to lose weight, become fit and be in the best shape of your life. But in spite of this, you still have many questions regarding weight loss. Read on to gain knowledge and answers to all of your weight loss questions.

Why should I lose weight?

Those looking to lose weight often wonder the answer to this. Every individual has an ideal body weight based on their sex and their height. The Body Mass Index is a chart clinically approved to estimate a healthy weight for you, based on your height. Obesity is often found in the higher end of the index, which can cause many seemingly unrelated health issues. Risks for those with obesity include problems such as heart attacks, strokes, vascular disease, and diabetes. These are not the only problems you may face, however. Obesity can bring on joint pains and a progressive difficulty in mobilizing. This can only result in lesser and lesser exercise being performed, making the person even more obese. This becomes a 'vicious cycle'.

A healthy weight loss plan can help you live a longer and more fulfilling life.

How will losing weight with a medically trained supervisor help?

Weight loss programs provide a structured plan that will allow you to lose weight in a steady healthy fashion. Programs such as these concentrate on diet plans supervised by a doctor, with different exercise routines to preserve muscle mass while stripping the body of excess fat.

Weight loss programs will cover in detail what the harmful effects of being obese are, the basics of nutrition and how food is broken down in the body, the common food fads and what steps can be taken to prevent and treat obesity.

What sort of diet plan will I follow?

Usually, a diet plan will be individualized for you by your weight loss management consultant or personal trainer. Some people will be prescribed a diet rich in protein and low in carbohydrate, some may be given shakes or some may be given smaller meal portions. It would depend on the goals set at the start of the program, and what said person would be capable of.

What is the 'hCG diet'?

The hCG diet was devised by Dr. It is based on the idea that less calories, when consumed with human chorionic gonadotropin, can quickly and effectively reduce weight.

How quickly will I lose weight?

This varies from individual to individual. The average time it takes to notice a difference is that of a few months, but it varies. The important thing is to stick to the plan.

When done in a healthy fashion, weight loss has a number of advantages. Reputable weight loss management programs cover every aspect of weight loss in a structured manner and allow you to reach your goals successfully.

Physicians trained in offering medically supervised weight loss programs are a patient's greatest resource when seeking dietary help that will be most effective for them.
