subject: Dissimilarities between HCG and B12 [print this page] Both HCG and B12 are utilized in weight loss programs. They work with corresponding diet plans with the objective of eliminating excess weight. There are, however, some significant differences between the two. While hormone is a major component of the HCG weight loss program, B12 is a supplement, meaning that it is there to assist the work of the components of any weight loss methods.
In actual diet situations, B12 find usefulness in motivating the dieter to perform required exercises without which program will not be effective. B12 provides the dieter a burst of energy making him more enthusiastic to pound the pavements around the block or more enthusiastic to sweat it out in the exercise floor for a few minutes. B12 is especially helpful to people who feel a little lethargic and would rather lull around all day instead of performing exercise routines. There is no evidence B12 reduces weight, whatever its contributions to weight reduction is indirect as best, but it can certainly prevent a person from adding weight.
The HCG hormone, on the other hand, plays a major role in weight reduction. It does this not by motivating the dieter to do exercises, exercises are discouraged by the HCG program, but by directly accelerating the metabolism of the body. With energized metabolism the dieter is able to shed pounds without the need of exercising.
There are other things that the hormone does to ensure that excess weight are actually shed. It helps the dieter surmount the challenges of the HCG diet which is a very low calorie diet by curbing hunger fangs. Evidently the hormone does a lot more to make sure that diet goals are accomplished than B12.
