approximately how long the hcg weight loss protocol will go for fastest weight drop

By John D Greene


Inevitably, the question arises, "How long does the HCG Diet last?" The wonderful thing about the hCG diet is that it is usually only about 28 to 40 days of weight loss, during this time frame, your body undergoes metabolic and chemical changes, and dieters learn proper nutrition that if applied, will keep your weight off, and become your diet forever.

To be succinct, the diet usually continues for four to twelve weeks. Again, this number varies, based upon one's personal goals. Those who have considerable weight to lose will opt to stay on longer. There have been patients on the diet for longer periods reporting as much as a 96-pound loss of weight.

In order to understand the connotation of the meaning behind 4 or 12 weeks of dieting, one should know what the diet consists of. The hCG diet was discovered in the 1950s, by Doctor A.T.W. Simeons. What happened was that Dr. Simeons noted that malnourished and unhealthy women delivered babies that were in all ways normal, and more remarkably, these, newborns were born healthy.

He thus concluded that a hormone found to be prevalent in the placenta, increased levels during pregnancy, triggering the mother's stored fat nutrients, carbohydrates, and sugars to nourish the baby during gestation. Furthermore, he observed no marked loss of the mother's muscle tissue.

The hormone, was human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG. The hCG Injection Diet consists of small amounts of the hormone administered daily, while the patient is placed on a diet of 500 calories daily. It is not sufficient to simply cut back on the calories, the intake of calories must be nutritional, as well as starch, fat, and sugar free for the initial 3 weeks. In addition, the injections lighten the side effects related to low calorie consumption, aids in the body's chemical changes that speed up metabolism, and most importantly, allows the body to release stored fats for energy, instead of the exhaustion of muscle tissue,

After the initial 3-week period, the daily injections cease, and sugars and starches are slowly brought back into the regular diet. This of course after the patient has been educated and enlightened to the importance of proper nutrition to maintain the dramatic weight loss.

The nutrients that are let loose from the excess fat cells, is released into the bloodstream and utilized as nutrients. Thus, even thought the patient's caloric intake is only 500 calories, the nutrient from these stored fats can be as high as 2000 calories a day, hence, the rapid loss of weight. The patients generally report a loss of appetite. The net result is that weight loss happens because of the depletion and absorption of the fat cells. If the patient adheres to the protocol, the results are a significant drop in weight over the three week period.

Without hCG, one can assume a low calorie diet, however, such dieting will cause a change in the body's metabolic rate, but it will slow down the metabolism, not speed it up, thus causing the body to store fat cells instead of burn them, causing weight loss to stop.

In conclusion, the hCG injection diet is highly customizable, depending on the dieter's weight. The diet protocol requires 4 phases of dieting. The first 2 phases cover a minimum of 23 days of injections. Phases 3 and 4 require no injections, but are for the systematic increase of calories as well as the re introduction of sugars and starches into the diet. Phases 3 and 4 are two consecutive 3-week periods for a total of 6 weeks. Then, for dieters who need to lose more weight, they may start the process over again.
