subject: Trying To Define The Hcg Shot [print this page] Most people have at least heard of hormone therapy. Many people over the age of thirty have accessed it for its anti aging and general health benefits. Other people access it for treatment of certain illnesses, conditions and deficiencies. In many instances it can be a very effective treatment. In most cases it is administered using the traditional injection.
So we've got the basics on the HCG. But when we look at the basic definition we don't really get the where, the how, or the why of the HCG shot. It's definitely become a popular topic of conversation in the last few years. More and more people are able to offer firsthand experience on the topic. But even though many of us didn't hear about it until recently the HCG shot isn't a new fangled product or really even a new release.
The HCG shot is an injection of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). This is a hormone that is naturally generated by the human body. One of the main jobs of HCG is to interact with the hypothalamus. This is exciting for those interested in weight loss because the hypothalamus interacts with the eating/drinking portion of the brain.
Dr. Simeons, recognizing the advantage that was offered by HCG's interaction with the hypothalamus, introduced the hormone as a weight loss tool over 50 years ago. His entire program was founded on the use of the HCG shot. And his entire program was designed to generate drastic weight loss results. It was quite quickly dubbed the cure for obesity.
In general there's not really a discussion about whether or not HCG shots can provide the possibility for drastic weight loss. The average daily weight loss numbers speak for themselves (1 to 2 pounds on average per day). It's been in use for over 50 years proving its stability and effectiveness. Not only does the use of HCG for weight loss mean that individuals can make it through very low calorie diets without being bothered by hunger pains, but they are also benefitting from the HCG's ability to reconfigure the body's method of dealing with fat. Empty fat cells won't be left laying around anymore. They get absorbed back into the body.
So we've got a handle on the HCG portion of the Dr. Simeons' protocol. It makes it easy to stick to a really low calorie diet. And it makes it easier to keep your weight off for the long term.
So it would seem that the HCG shot is pretty much the be all and end all of weight loss...yes? Actually many believe this and they couldn't be more wrong. Well...they could be MORE wrong, but they are definitely wrong in this case. There are surgical options that offer similar weight loss averages. And that's not all.
Homeopathy is often called the science of nature. And HCG as a weight loss tool fits right into the myriad of homeopathic treatments very nicely. It was reformulated into a precise formula that can be taken orally rather than enduring the daily injections. And it offers the same weight loss averages as the HCG shots. It's an evolution that most are very grateful for; drastic weight loss without the needles. There's something very lovely about that.
