Is The HCG Diet Just Another Crash Diet?

When You First Found Out About The HCG Diet, Did You Think It Was Just Another Crash Diet?

First off, for those of you that don't know what a crash diet is let me clarify...

A crash diet - is a diet which is extreme in its nutritional deprivations, typically severely restricting calorie intake. It is meant to achieve rapid weight loss and may differ from outright starvation only slightly. It is not meant to last for long periods of time, at most a few weeks. Importantly, the term specifically implies a lack of concern for proper nutrition. Contrary to the belief of many who start this sort of diet, this form of dieting is neither healthy nor largely successful in achieving long term weight loss as it provokes a slow down of the body's metabolic rate - the body seeks to conserve every calorie and so weight loss becomes increasingly difficult. While some initial weight is often lost, the weight is usually regained quickly in the weeks that follow, as the individual reverts to their original pre-crash diet.

There are a lot of people out there that would say yes it is a crash diet. But now that you know the definition of what a crash diet is, would you agree with them?

Well, let me tell you my thoughts on the topic...

Is The HCG Diet Just Another Crash Diet?

Now you might be a little bit surprised by my answer - I would say Yes, the HCG Diet is a crash diet, IF... it is not used the right way.

There are some people who do use the diet in this manner. These people are the ones who lose a ton of weight using the HCG Hormone, but they don't continue to follow the protocol, which means they don't keep the weight off - After that they do the diet again and again.

As I'm sure most of you already know, the diet is not meant to be used this way. When it is, it becomes just another crash diet.

Of coarse when it is used the right way, you will still lose a ton of weight. But if you stick to the protocol, it can also help you to reset your Hypothalamus Gland and fix your bodies metabolism. This means you won't have to do the diet over and over again.

So let's make sure that this diet does not become just another crash diet - Use it correctly and we'll all win!

Cheese On The HCG Diet - Is It Allowed?

Is cheese one of the items on the HCG 500 Calorie Diet Menu? Anyone who has read the HCG Diet Protocol knows that there are a lot of different rules to follow. On top of it all, you have to remember which foods you can and cannot eat. However, what people usually remember more than anything is that list of foods you can have is much smaller than the foods that you can't. Still, it can be quite a task to memorize that list in such a short period of time. I guess this is why people always ask my wife and I which foods are allowed during Phase 2 of the HCG Weight Loss Diet - One of the more common foods we are asked about is cheese. Now I love cheese probably more than the average person, so I can definitely understand why people are hoping and praying that it's listed on the HCG Diet Menu. And this brings us to the question we are here to answer... Can You Have Cheese On The HCG 500 Calorie Diet? I think deep down inside most of you already knew that the answer ...

If you were to Google the term " HCG Diet Dangers ", you would get a bunch of sites trying to sell you something related to the HCG Diet.

How The Hypothalamus Works

What the Hypothalamus Gland does and why it's so important to fix it... The Hypothalamus Gland is located directly below the Thalamus which is at the center of the brain. It controls many automatic functions of the human body. So this means that it can tell the autonomic nervous system what to do. The Hypothalamus also controls pituitary output by distributing certain chemicals to the pituitary's frontal lobe. To put it more simply, the Hypothalamus Gland organizes and controls many complex emotions, feelings and moods. It also controls all motivational states including hunger, appetite and food intake, and everything to do with the concept of pleasure including satisfaction, comfort and creative activities. The neurons in the Hypothalamus produce a number of Hypothalamic Neurotransmitters which relay information and instruction to all parts of the brain and body, directly influencing the Pituitary Gland. This is where the Growth Hormone, Thyroid Hormone Releasi...
