subject: Defining The Popular Hcg Hormone [print this page] The HCG Diet...have you heard of it? It was originally developed over 50 years ago. HCG was introduced as a basis for an effective weight loss method that quickly became known as the cure for obesity. it was inaccessible to the general public up until a few years ago. It has recently become far more accessible as well as affordable. But I'm sure you know all of that. Why do you know all of that? Because you are already considering the weight loss method for yourself.
But what you don't know is what HCG actually is...besides being the HCG hormone. HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. HCG is found naturally in the human body. HCG levels are tested in order to be used as an early indicator of pregnancy because HCG levels increase during pregnancy. You still don't know is what exactly the HCG hormone is...What is the HCG hormone? HCG is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It's a natural element in the human body. It is used as an early indicator of pregnancy because levels of HCG increase during gestation. It is responsible for monitoring various levels that are vital for uterine health.
So what in the world does that have to do with weight loss? Nothing in particular except that it is a piece of what HCG handles in the body. But it is not anywhere near close to defining the hormone entirely. It has many other functions in addition to those that are vital during pregnancy. It also interacts with the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus controls the portions of the brain that handle eating/drinking and emotions.
This is where you start to see HCG's use in a diet plan. It is able to decrease hunger for dieters on a very low calorie diet. Dieters on the homeopathic HCG diet are able to limit themselves to very few calories daily (500) without feeling hunger pains. And when you really think about it...that's utterly amazing.
HCG dieting programs are often successful because dieters aren't as "hungry" and tempted to step off plan. But it is also a vital element in teaching the body how to treat fat in a healthy manner.
Dieters often empty fat cells in their body. But when dieters are actively using HCG and following the protocol provided the body is not only able to empty fat cells, but to absorb empty fat cells into the body. This makes it more likely that dieters will be able to maintain their new weight for the long term.
A lot of dieters discover that finishing a drastic weight loss program often results in immediate "regain" of their lost weight. They've worked really hard to lose weight and they've successfully emptied fat cells. But the body did not absorb the empty fat cells so they are almost immediately refilled again once fat is re-introduced or high calorie foods are eaten.
So do you now know what HCG hormone is? It's natural. It's an element found in the body and it has various functions. When it comes specifically to dieting...HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin increases success rates of very low calorie diets drastically and enables the body to relearn healthy fat treatment.
