My hCG Diet Review
The internet is full of crazy diets not a lot of us old fogies know.
Like the Baby Food Diet where you eat 16 jars of baby food everyday, or the Military Diet, or the Vision Diet where you eat everything while using blue-tinted glasses.
Crazy, right?
But when you are a desperate 40-something yearning to get the old body of yore back, crazy means workable. Like when I tried one crazy diet I saw in a girl forum – the hCG diet.
So, hCG is a hormone???
hCG is a hormone and as early as ten days after conception, hCG can be found in a pregnant woman’s placenta. After 10 to eleven days, the hCG hormone is present in a pregnant woman’s urine, which is why pregnancy test kits are designed to detect hCG levels. hCG’s very important job is to provide nutrients to the growing fetus, ensuring that it will grow into a healthy baby.
Dr. A.T.W Simeons studied the protocol for a span of 50 years.
The concept of the hCG diet has been introduced by some weight loss advocates in the past decade, but the premise of such findings that the hCG diet can help you lose weight is by the late British doctor, Dr. AT.W. Simeons. He dedicated many years to studying weight loss brought about by hCG injections and his success with the hCG protocol spanned a period of 50 years.
What does the hCG diet do?
The hCG diet works on the premise that it resets the hypothalamus gland.
The hypothalamus gland is a gland that helps the neurotransmitters in the brain to receive messages correctly. These neurotransmitters are very important because they make sure that the brain’s most powerful hormones – Norepinephrine, Serotonin, Acetylcholine and Dopamine – function properly, because if they don’t, they will wreak havoc and cause imbalances in our bodies.
It helps the hypothalamus gland do its job.
If the hypothalamus gland is not working properly, some important body processes can get affected preventing weight loss, like sluggish metabolism, low energy levels, constant hunger, and salt and sweet cravings.
The hypothalamus can also affect our mood. For instance, it can cause you to be friggin’ hungry, making you eat every food in sight!
hCG injections and hCG oral drops are supposed to regulate and reset the hypothalamus gland, making it work for you instead of against you. Injections can be made by your doctor, while oral alternatives can also be used.
Tea and hCG
Herbal teas such as wu yi tea, green tea and chamomile are also great when on the hCG diet plan. These help cleanse and eliminate toxins in the body.
Does hCG diet work then?
I am not recommending the hCG diet just because some celebrities are doing it. I am recommending it because it is work, it gives fast results, and it is doable.
Wouldn’t being fit and fabulous and not looking your age be perfect when you greet 2018?
To a new bod,
Marie
