Yes, you read that right; there are dangers to exercise while following the HCG diet protocol. These dangers are not necessarily life-threatening, nor should you remain completely inactive while on the HCG diet. However, strenuous exercise can very well sabotage your efforts at weight loss. It's a Medical Disorder In our dysfunctional "blame the victim" culture, it is popular and even acceptable to point at overweight people and simply say they are lazy, self-indulgent and weak. Now, while there may in fact be a small number of individuals who do fit this description, the fact is that 98% of people who struggle with weight issues have physiological conditions over which they have no control. Moreover, no single set of physiological conditions are responsible for obesity in every individual. Dr. Simeons on Obesity Dr. A.T.W. Simeons was one of the first physicians to identify obesity as a pathologic condition with numerous and varied causes. One of these is natural selection. Since prehistoric times, excess body fat (particularly among women) has been seen in many cultures as a sign of wealth and fertility. Large women were considered desirable mates, and as a result, fatness became a genetic trait. Dr. Simeons also noted that the invention of agriculture changed human eating habits significantly. In a paper entitled "Pounds and Inches," he wrote: "The institution of regular meals meant that man had to eat more than his body required at the moment of eating so as to tide him over until the next meal. Food rendered easily digestible suddenly flooded his body with nourishment of which he was in no need at the moment. Somehow, somewhere this surplus had to be stored." (1954) Dr. Simeons identified three types of fat, the third of which consists of adipose, an abnormal type of fat that is "locked up" and not normally available to the body as an energy source. The Danger of Exercise The heart of the HCG diet protocol is a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) of no more than 500 calories a day. Normally, this is a starvation diet and poses serious health risks. However, the use of HCG "unlocks" adipose deposits, forcing the body to obtain extra calories from this source. The fact remains, however, that your body is already using calories at an extreme rate. While mild exercise can be helpful, strenuous exercise can actually cause too many calories to be used, causing a reaction that can be counterproductive to your weight loss efforts.About the Author:
