Struggling With Weight Loss?
There are many weight loss programs out there. If you are a man who has not been able to reach your desired goals, consider the hCG diet. This effective method of weight loss for men has been around since the 1950s. It combines calorie restriction with injections of human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, supplements.
How the hCG Diet Works
hCG is something that the body naturally makes in certain circumstances. During pregnancy, women’s brains direct their body to start sending calories to the fetus. As a result, the body starts burning more of the calories it has in reserve. This can have a dramatic effect on metabolism.
The same process can be done for men. By telling the brain it needs to use stored fat as well as restricting calories, your metabolism can become more efficient. The injections of hCG help facilitate this.
The Steps of the hCG Diet
There are different steps, or phases, typically involved with this diet. When you begin this diet we may recommend that you start out with hCG injections. We may also advise that you load up on calories before you start, but that depends on the individual. Next come the calorie restriction with hCG doses. Typically weight loss for men involving this method consists of 500 calories per day with strict rules on what you can and cannot eat. This diet may last up to two months, which means it is not a long-term process. It is a way to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time. Once you are done with the diet, our experts can help you maintain your new weight so you don’t rebound.
What Can Men Eat on the hCG Diet?
What and when you eat during the weight loss phase is as important as how much you eat. Breakfast is not eaten, only lunch and dinner. In order to ensure that all of your nutritional needs are met, you will need to plan your meal strategically. Both meals of the day should consist of a lean protein, one fruit, and one vegetable. Sugar and alcohol are to be avoided.
