Let's face it, there are hundreds of diets out there. They all promise weight loss. Some deliver, some do not. Technically they all can, it really just depends on you and your commitment.
One diet that is getting attention is the HCG Drops diet. With many diets, its about eating this or that. Eat cookies all day, or salads. Some of it is sound science. If you eat the right amount of calories that set your body up for success, you will get there. Just how fast that is, is up to you.
The diet works a little different. Other diets have basically one facet, controlling what you eat. What would happen if you took something that helped your body? Something that would boost your metabolism, and support shifting your body weight lower? HCG drops help to do that. HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a naturally occurring substance found in all of our bodies. As we age, we put out less and less of this substance. While we are young, this substance results in our growth cycle, and aids in recovery from stress.
European doctors have found that while under a restrictive diet, it will also help trick the body into releasing stored fat instead of allowing it to go into a severe conservation cycle. One of the problems with many diets is that when the body feels it is undernourished, or under too much stress, it protects itself. It hangs onto every bit of fat, everything you eat it is trying to make the most of. This makes you plateau, or not lose any weight. The idea with any of them, is to eat just enough that the body doesn't go into this mode. But you have to burn extra calories to assist in loss.
It ends up being a counterproductive cycle. This specific diet is a bit different. The main part of the diet is very aggressive. It calls for eating around 500 calories a day. It is restrictive in what you intake. No sugars, or chemicals. Higher protein, less processed foods. Technically if you could get used to the diet, and your body doesn't go into massive conservation mode, it would lose weight anyways. With the addition of the chemical to the mix, it helps to combat that conservation mode. Much like when you were losing baby fat when you were younger and maturing.
You get a boost to help release that excess stores your body thought it needed. Some people see a half pound per day, others up to 2 pounds in a day. When using it, you will do short cycles, right around a month, with a short break then back on again. Usually for 2-3 months you would work on this. Realize that not every diet can work for you. Everyone is a bit different, and how they react, will power, and habits all play factors. This drops diet will help most people. Like any of them you have to commit and really try to stick to it. If you bypass many of the recommendations, it will be much less affective.
