We all must have heard of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) weight loss once or twice. But does it really work and where does it take us? These questions have been around for some time. Personally, I believe it’s nothing more than a weight loss fad.
HCG is a hormone that already exists in your body, not some kind of drug. Those who have the highest levels of this hormone are pregnant women.
There was no relation between HCG and weight loss. Then an ill-famed man named Kevin Trudeau wrote a book regarding how HCG can benefit weight loss.
In case you don’t know, Kevin Trudeau had several misbehavior marks from FTC guidelines, which has caused him a remarkable amount of time in jail.
“It’s a miraculous hormone that helps you lose weight rapidly”, said Kevin Trudeau, “it’s better than any other fat loss supplement”. Unfortunately, no medical or scientific proof has been found to back him up.
Not even the manufacturers who produce a synthesized version of this hormone claim that it’s beneficial for obese people. It’s only a handful of doctors and experts who are claiming that they have proof of the relation between HCG and weight loss.
For almost forty years, several tests and studies were done on HCG to prove the validity of these claims. A lot of research was done regarding the effectiveness of HCG weight loss program. No study or research done till date has been able to prove that HCG indeed helps lose weight. So how can the doctors claim the opposite?
Guess what? If you choose HCG weight loss program, your physician is going to put you on a low calorie diet. So tell me how do we know which program actually works?
One more thing, HCG hormone has been prohibited in the US for a long time. Therefore, if you want a synthesized product, be ready to pay out the nose. These products can be found in the black market or in other country.
We already have tons of weight loss products and it seems that a new fad comes up everyday. And people accept them so easily without considering the consequences.
If you take my advice, I would recommend that until the effectiveness of HCG weight loss is fully proved, we should just follow the old method of healthy diet plans and fitness training.
Successful weight loss does not mean you have to go on a strict diet. Start cutting and avoiding junk foods (ex. chips, cookies, candy, fries, and so forth) and eat healthy foods. How could you not succeed?
