<h1>HCG Diet Review - What is the HCG Diet?</h1>Author: <a title="Alan Reese" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/alan-reese/185433.htm">Alan Reese</a> I would like to preface this article by saying I'm no HCG Diet expert by any means. I've just been like most of us out there that have tried several diets with no success. It wasn't hard to run accross tons of information on the web regarding this diet. My only encounter with someone who has tried the diet is with my wife, who, as of the creation of this article, has lost about 7 lbs in 10 days. So there is really no denying the diet works, at least for her to this point. I just thought I would take a moment to give those interested a very simple, condensed version of all the info out there on this weight loss program. Enjoy! First of all it might be important to know exactly what is HCG? HCG is human chorionic gonadotropin. More specifically, its a natural protein hormone secreted by the placenta of pregnant women and purified from the urine. How does HCG help you lose weight? The use of HCG in weight loss was first studied by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons. It is not exactly clear how HCG promotes weight loss but Dr. Simeons believed that HCG would target fat deposits in the body and protect lean muscle. What exactly is the HCG diet? The <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/hcgdietreview" target="_blank" title="HCG Diet Review">HCG Diet</a> is a low calorie diet where HCG is given either orally or injected daily. Many have experienced a 1 - 3 lbs of weight loss a day with the HCG Diet. Initially, you are asked to load up - that is eat everything in sight. The HCG should help suppress your appetite so you shouldn't be able to really eat everything in sight. After that, you are on a 500 calories a day eating only 100 pre-cooked grams of lean meat and one vegetable from a list that is provided. Where to buy HCG? You can get a doctors prescription but most doctors do not endorse this diet - at all - so that could be difficult.
