Among a growing number of overweight Americans, the HCG diet plan is becoming increasingly popular. The HCG diet involves taking doses of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin, combined with severe caloric restriction. HCG drugs are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for weight reduction diets and physicians regard the extreme caloric limitation as deleterious to one's health.

Consuming fewer calories with the HDG diet plan means slimming down
The weight loss in the HCG diet plan could be up to two pounds a day. This is done by eating very few calories and taking the HCG hormone. ”Pounds and Inches” by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons is what the HCG diet plan is based off of. The entire body is better able to burn fat and suppresses an appetite when taking in the human chorionic gonadotropin, physicians say. An appetite suppressant is necessary with the 40-day HCG diet plan because it involves eating a scant 500 calories a day. Injections, creams, pills or drops are all used to take in the HCG hormone. HCG hormone supplements are available over the counter at health food stores, however to get a strong enough strong doses for the HCG diet plan, the hormone must be prescribed by a doctor.
Body changes with HCG
HCG affects the hypothalamus, a section of the brain that controls metabolism. A signal is sent by the hormone to the hypothalamus. This is done so that the placenta for the fetus can start getting nutrients which is done with stored fat. Most physicians think the HCG diet is dangerous because it is impossible for people to get the protein and essential amino acids they need on 500 calories a day. Normal brain function cannot be supported on 500 calories a day. The body also responds by lowering resting metabolism and consuming muscle, which is counterproductive to weight reduction. Exercise can induce a higher resting metabolism. It burns fat this way.
The unwanted affects HCG causes
When it comes to weight reduction, the Food and Drug Administration has not approved HCG. Males that have undecided testes or low testosterone will often take HGC as a Food and Drug Administration approved drug though. It is also approved for women as an infertility treatment. Athletes use HCG to mask the negative effects of illegal steroid use. HCG has several unwanted effects to it. These consist of mood swings, depression, blood clots, confusion and dizziness for some. Some women on HCG develop Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome and suffer from pelvic pain, stomach pain, swelling in the hands and legs, shortness of breath, diarrhea and nausea.
