hCG Weight Loss in Sonoma County
When considering how to lose weight and whether the “hCG diet” is right for you, here are a few things to keep in mind as you make your decision:
1) Any product that claims to be “homeopathic hCG” is a scam and is only used by unlicensed practitioners or those that are not legally licensed to prescribe hCG which is a bioidentical prescription hormone. This list of practitioners can include: Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, as well as nutritionists and lay-people.
2) A very low calorie diet that encourages the use of a so called “homeopathic hCG” is encouraging your body to lose weight on the basis of calorie depravation alone and the “homeopathic hCG” is only a placebo. That’s right, there isn’t a single molecule of hCG in the bottle of water you buy. If there were it would require a prescription.
3) The documented clinical effects of diets using prescription hCG are due primarily to the effects of the hCG hormone itself. However, without the hCG hormone, people aren’t able to benefit from those important effects and often gain the weight back.
4) Using prescription hCG as a part of a medically supervised weight loss program is generally accepted as the only way to do the hCG diet. Without the hormone itself, the likelihood of experiencing negative symptoms is much greater and almost a certain outcome.
5) The negative effects of using “homeopathic hCG” can include:
- rebound weight gain
- hypoglycemia and blood sugar abnormalities
- electrolyte imbalances and depletion
- heart arrhythmia
- fatigue
- severe hunger
- headaches
- gastrointestinal problems
- irritability
6) Any weight loss program that requires or suggests boxed/packaged food or meal replacements, is doing you the worst dis-service possible and almost ensuring that you will have a very difficult time getting through the program. Keep in mind, the majority of the meal replacement companies are multi-level marketing schemes that are designed solely for the purpose of making money of your loyalty to their product. It is about them making money off you rather than a true interest in helping you heal, stay healthy and maintain your weight in the long ruyn
7) Make sure that the weight loss program you choose is one that uses fresh and whole food that is dense with phyto and micronutrients. These are the things that will ensure weight loss and improved health.
