Truth About HCG Diet
Are you interested in losing 1-2 pounds every day and slowing your metabolism during the process?
Would you like to lose 1-2 pounds every day? That means in 30 days you could lose at least 30 pounds. Some people have a tough time believing this is true until one day – the lady at work or the family member you haven’t seen in 30 days looks absolutely amazing. Without hesitation, when you witness for yourself someone practically shrinking in front of you – you may find yourself falling prey to such diet disasters.
Whether you have done this diet or not, read on and share the good news that we don't have to fall prey to the diet blues.
Recently while traveling across country on the plan I sat next to a highly intelligent, well educated and accomplished executive who is largely responsible for some very popular movies making it to the big screen (prefer not to mention her name). Well, as soon as she discovered I was the People’s Fat Loss Coach, she was quick to ask me about the HCG Diet. Before I was able to provide a response she went on to share with me that she was already down 20 pounds and it hasn’t even been a month.
My first response was to congratulate her. Then, without me asking, she handed me the entire diet and asked if I'd look it over. I was already knowledgable of HCG, which is an abbreviation for Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin. I also knew that I didn’t agree with this diet, but kept an open mind and figured I would revisit this diet lie and read through the material and hear her experience.
I’m sure Dr. Albert T.W. Simeons who first proposed HCG injections for weight loss had good intentions, but anything that aims to curb your appetite and starve the most metabolically active cells in your body – lean muscle – is totally ridiculous and irresponsible. But again, I kept an open mind and here is the outcome.
First, when a woman eats less than 1200 calories a day, and a man 1500 – you increase the likelihood of becoming nutrient (e.g., vitamin, mineral) deficient and the majority of weight loss will be the result of lost water and the breakdown of lean muscle tissue, which slows your metabolism. When you slow your metabolism as a result of losing lean muscle tissue, you cause significant damage to your body’s ability to burn calories and you are three-times likely to gain any weight back that you lose back, plus add on a few more unwanted pounds.
Second, the HCG Diet claims to help maximize fat loss. Well, if you’re only eating 500 calories a day, you are definitely going to tap into burning off some unwanted fat. Unfortunately, you will also be letting go of (burning off) some of that all-important lean muscle tissue and causing major harm to your metabolism and ability to burn fat in the future.
Third, when a product or program promises to curb your appetite – BEWARE. Personally, I don’t want to curb my appetite. I want to enjoy the feelings of wanting to eat. The key however, is to learn how to eat… how to use food to lose fat and be healthy. If you lower your calories to 500 a day, you will experience some serious hunger pains in the beginning and like the lemonade diet (AKA master cleanse) where you eat even less than 500 calories a day – the hunger will pass and you’ll be less likely to experience feelings of deprivation. The reason for this is that you have manipulated your metabolism to operate in a very low gear, but again, you’re doing more damage than you may ever come to realize.
As my flight came to an end I asked this highly intelligent woman a question: What type of weight have you lost? She didn’t quite understand what I meant so I explained to her that when a person loses weight it may be water, lean muscle tissue, bone and of course fat. She didn’t quickly informed me that it was fat weight and I asked her how she knew that? She said she just knows and she can feel it. Her clothes fit better and she is happy with how well it’s going.
I ended the conversation by asking her if she was aware of body composition analysis. This is when you determine how much of the total body weight is lean body mass (e.g., water, muscle, blood, bone) and fat. She wasn’t sure and I explained to her that when you do this, and follow up or monitor your progress with routine body composition analysis then you will know what type of weight you’re shedding.
Our conversation came to an end and I gave her my card. In closing, I felt bad for this lady as I know she is most likely going to gain the weight back and in the future it’s going to be harder for her to lose weight. She would have been better off to jump start her weight loss with my Detox Drop and then transition into learning how to eat everyday real food and keep control of her waistline.

I was on Hcg over 2 yrs ago...I lost 25 lbs and have kept it off. I also lost hair and muscle...however with exercise and good nutrition my hair has grown back and I'm regaining muscle. Was it worth it....yes, I hated the way I looked before HCG! NOt only that being on the diet taught me a lot about what food/s I was sensitive to and now I eat knowing what causes weight gain/loss!
I have been doing the HCG diet now for the past 3 months and so far have lost 33 pounds total. I did it for 30 days and for the next 30 days ate what I wanted, in moderation and am now back on the HCG. I plan to continue with the hcg to lose 35 more pounds and them continue with the diet free life to maintain. It worked for me.
Very good article. Thanks.
