The HCG diet is a controversial approach to weight loss. The hormone HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, after which the diet is named) is injected or ingested at a very low dose, combined with at times a very low calorie intake. People who have battled to lose weight for many years have reported this diet successful for them. It was designed in the 1950s and has been modified and re-released.
The diet incorporates four phases and each phase is different in it's content. The four phases include injection, some diet change, major calorie restrictions, normal diet with some food restrictions, and normal diet based on organic foods.
The controversy surrounding the diet focuses on the use of HCG as a dietary medication when it is not approved by the Federal Drug Authority in the USA and the extremely low calorie intake which some consider is not enough to maintain normal body functions.
People following the diet reportedly lose between 1 and 3 pounds of weight each week and fat loss is reportedly more obvious in those places where fat deposits are more commonly seen. Even though controversial, it has its supporters who feel it offers a solution to those who have attempted other ways to lose weight without success. Nutrition experts feel the weight loss is most likely a result of the very low calorie intake rather than any benefit from the injections.
Weight loss tends to be rapid and consistent when on the program, making it a popular choice for those who are results driven. The very low calorie intake leaves people feeling initially lethargic and with little energy ,but after the program is completed, the focus on healthy eating and the associated life style changes and weight loss produces are energized feeling in most participants.
