Is the HCG Diet a Risky Fad? Part 2



As reported online for yesterday’s HealthLine on Yahoo! Health, the so called health experts are purposefully trying to scare the public at large away from Medical hCG for weight loss. Today is Part 2 of Question and Answer…the real Answers about hCG Diet being a Risky Fad.

How does the hCG diet work? They printed-Developed by a European doctor in the 1950s, the diet is based on the theory that taking oral or injected hCG will reduce appetite, thus making it easier for followers to stick to the required limit of just 500 calories per day, the equivalent of 4 ounces of tortilla chips. Its proponents say that it can lead to loss of a pound a day or more, which isn’t surprising, given the near-starvation calorie restrictions. We Disagree-hCG uses fat stored in the excess fat reserves of the body for energy and for the additional nutrition needed daily, which attributes to the rapid weight loss without leaving sagging, hanging skin, such as happens after bariatric surgeries; which are closer to starvation diets and not being constantly harassed.

Does hCG increase weight loss? They printed-No—since the 1970s, the FDA has required a warning on the drug’s packaging that it does not increase weight loss beyond that due to calorie restriction alone, create a more “attractive” distribution of body fat, or curb  “hunger and discomfort” from dieting, as advocates claim. And more than a dozen clinical trials have found no benefit to using hCG for weight loss. Some MDs contend that all hCG does is provide a rather expensive placebo effect that may make some people on the 500-calorie-a-day diet imagine that they are less hungry. Let’s Agree to Disagree-There is simply too much evidence proving the impressive weight loss being reported in record numbers by actual people with untouched “before and after” pictures and testimonials. These are people with previous medical conditions who are now very healthy, fit and on few to no prescription medications.
