Hcg Weight Loss
HCG Weight Loss: Should You Use Hcg For Weight Loss?
It seems like every six months or so there’s a claim that some wonder drug is going to magically melt pounds away and make you slimmer and trimmer for life. Excuse me if I’m a bit skeptical, but I’m not a big believer in diet pills or potions to lose weight.
The newest fad is a hormone called HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) and it’s a hormone found naturally in the human body, but it can also be synthesized into an artificial version. HCG is very prevalent in pregnant women and is most often used in treatment of fertility problems.
In fact, when a woman takes a home pregnancy test, that test is looking for the presence of HCG in her body. If she tests positive for HCG, then that means she’s pregnant.
The popularity of HCG as a weight loss remedy has exploded ever since a dubious author, by the name of Kevin Trudeau, put out a book supporting this
as some kind of miracle treatment that helps people lose lots of weight.
Hmmm, so what is the truth about these claims?
Let me state right off the bat that there is no scientific evidence supporting the claims that HCG causes significant weight loss. The manufacturers of HCG themselves are saying that this hormone doesn’t cause weight loss. On the other side of the fence, there’s a group of doctors and other people saying they have proof that it is a viable weight loss treatment.
Believe it or not, HCG has been studied and discussed as a weight loss treatment for 40 years. As a matter of fact, there have been several studies done to test the effectiveness of HCG for the treatment of overweight people.
Studies have been conducted by: Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Archives of Internal Medicine, West Journal of Medicine and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Here is what JAMA had to say, “There was no statistically significant difference between those receiving HCG vs. placebo during any phase of this study.”
Are there still doctors using HCG hormone to treat their obese patients?
Yes.
Some patients are getting this treatment under doctor supervision, but it’s interesting to note that these doctors also put their patients on a low-calorie diet, as would any good physician, so HCG is just part of the mix.
If you are thinking about injecting HCG or taking it orally as a weight loss supplement, I highly recommend that you do it under a doctor’s supervision only. Taking hormones on your own can be dangerous, even if that hormone is generally safe.
If you live in the U.S., you will not be able to legally purchase HCG anyway, since it has been banned for sale here by the FDA since 1974. So, please be aware that if you do choose to pursue your quest to buy HCG weight loss supplements in any form, you’ll have to either get them on the black market, or from another country.
The cost will be high to continue the regiment, but the worst part will be that you’ll be taking something without knowing if it’s pure or mixed with some other harmful substance that can cause bad side effects.
Look, I know you want to drop those pounds as soon as possible, but taking advice from someone like Kevin Trudeau, who has numerous violations with the FTC and has served prison time, may not be in your best interest. People like him prey on your desperation.
Today is the day that you can make the decision to follow a sensible eating plan (don’t diet), eat more fruits and vegetables, eat less fatty junk food, drink more water, and get that body moving!
There’s no magic pill for losing weight – there’s only you making up your mind that you are going to be healthier and happier the safe and natural way.

QUESTION:
How can I convince my parents to let me use HCG for weight loss?
If you know of any clinics in Atlanta that use HCG weight loss treatment, I would be grateful also.-
ANSWER:
I don’t think it’s possible to convince your parents to let you try something that’s not approved for the purpose you want to use it. They will be more concerned about your health than your wait.HCG isn’t a magic pill to lose weight. You still have to cut back on your calories and exercise. What HCG does is allow you to stay on a very low calorie diet (Under 800 calories a day) without the physical side effects that such an extreme diet can have, like headaches, irritablity, etc.
The problem is that with less than 1200 calories per day, you’re not likely to get all the nutrients you need to stay healthy.
The other thing is that it does nothing to change your behavior. It’s not something you can do forever, so you you’ll eventually stop getting your injections. If you haven’t changed your lifestyle by then, then you will put the weight back on.
A better plan would be to spend your money on Weight Watchers, start getting some exercise, and stop sneaking those Twinkies and Oreos in the middle of the night. Switch to a healthy life style and you won’t have to worry about your weight.

QUESTION:
I want to run the HCG weight loss protocol in my home? What do you think?
I am a nursing student and graduate in may with my BSN. I have done the HCG weight loss protocol by Dr. simeon and its in Kevin Trudeau’s book as well. I lost over 25 lbs in a 30 day period with only 30 minutes of walking 3 times a week. It was the best thing ever!!! I want to help other people out who have tried it all to lose weight because I know this works…I am living proof. I am asking what others think about the idea and if they have any suggestions to get it started.-
ANSWER:
Since the protocol involves injections and you are a nursing student you have may some issues with medical lawsuits if someone does something incorrectly.I would proceed very carefully. Although you are trying to help others this may be seen as giving medical advice of which you do not have a license, not is your home a medical facility. Many people are lawsuit happy these days.

QUESTION:
How much do HCG weight loss shots cost?
I’ve been reading into the HCG weight loss program and it looks to me like its about the safest one out there since its a hormone already present in your body, but I was just wondering if anyone knew how much it would run me?-
ANSWER:
I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.
First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…
This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.
However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.
Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

QUESTION:
Will taking hCG for Weight Loss help in fertility?
I’m currently taking the hCG injections for weight loss. I’m taking my shot daily and was wondering if it would help with my infertility. I have heard many different things along those lines. Some people have told me that no, it wouldn’t help, where others have told me that it would and may cause multiples. Does anyone on here have any experience with hCG for weight loss and fertility?-
ANSWER:
It doesn’t look like it…
Reports of side effects from using fertility drugs for weight loss, like HCG, as part of a weight loss program are very rare. When used as part of a fertility program, the increase in the amount has been known to create occasional headaches, as well as symptoms of pregnancy. However, it must be taken into consideration that the HCG dosages for a fertility program, as compared to the dosages used in a weight loss program differ greatly in quantity. The most that has been reported regarding side effects of HCG use is the loss of sexual drive in women.
