Another Uninformed Article Bashing hCG

March 30, 2009

If you’ve spent any time at all researching the hCG Diet, then you know there are plenty of stories by people that have done it saying how great it works and there are plenty of stories by uninformed people that have NOT tried saying it doesn’t work.

In the latest article I’ve come across bashing hCG for weight loss, the author (Thong M. Dao) has managed to misrepresent practically EVERY fact about HCG.

In his article ‘Don’t Try HCG Weight Loss Until You Read This’, the author states:

“Folks hope to lose weight quickly with the help of fad products, but if you ask me, I never believe in fads, and never will!”

Umm, excuse me, but since when is something tried and tested for over 60 years a fad???  Notice he hasn’t said he’s tried it and it didn’t work - he is saying he doesn’t believe in fads and never will.  OK, me neither - so?

Next we have this gem:

“HCG had nothing to do with weight loss until a disreputable author named Kevin Trudeau turned up. He wrote a book announcing the possibility of weight loss with HCG.”

Now this is just COMPLETELY erroneous - as we know, Dr. Simeons was treating patients for obesity with hCG since 1954.  It’s unfortunate that Kevin Trudeau is the one thought of as the founding-father of the hCG Diet, but all he did was write a book that brought it to the forefront recently.

Here’s another false claim by the author:

“Not even the manufacturers who produce a synthesized version of this hormone claim that it’s beneficial for obese people. It’s only a handful of doctors and experts who are claiming that they have proof of the relation between HCG and weight loss.”

First off, synthesized versions DON’T WORK!!!  HCG only works when natural.  Also, it is hardly ‘only a handful of doctors and experts’ - there are hundreds of doctors that are administering this diet protocol SUCCESSFULLY all over the world.

More false statements from the article:

“Lots of tests and studies have been done for nearly 40 years on HCG weight loss. But to this day, there’s still no clear evidence that HCG indeed boosts weight loss. Yet what the doctors claim is different.”

Um, NO - actually there are numerous studies done that DO PROVE hCG boosts weight loss (when accomanied by the very low calorie diet requied by Dr. Simeons’ protocol).  And wouldn’t you say that hundreds of thousands of people that have lost weight PERMANENTLY with the hCG Diet provide the ‘clear evidence’ the other says is lacking?  Yeah, I thought so too.

How about this one:

“One more thing, HCG hormone has been prohibited in the US for a long time. Therefore, if you want a synthesized product, be ready to pay out the nose. These products can be found in the black market or in other country.”

Nope - wrong again.  HCG is FDA-approved in the US.  OK, not for weight loss, but off-label use of FDA-approved drugs and hormones happens LEGALLY all of the time - this statement is just FLAT WRONG!

How come no one that writes negatively about hCG can provide FACTS???

Anyone else wondering why this is?

Homeopathic hCG - Another Diet Scam

February 11, 2009

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Since I wrote the following post, someone has proven me wrong. Read about Homeotherapeutic HCG!

________________________________________

Let’s get something straight right off the bat:  There is no such thing as Homeopathic HCG - so if you are using it instead of REAL hCG on Dr. Simeons hCG Diet Protocol and are losing weight, it is because of the 500 calorie diet.

This means muscle is being lost, you are starving yourself, and will not enjoy permanent weight loss because your metabolic set point is not affected (you aren’t taking hCG!)

HCG is a HORMONE - so what the heck is homeopathic hCG?  I’ll tell you - snake oil.

Anyone can lose weight on a 500 calorie per day diet, but without real hCG you are losing muscle and structural fat.  You will end up in a yo yo diet cycle as your body makes adjustments for the reduced caloric intake by slowing its metabolism.  Your weight loss will  be short-lived, and you will put the weight back on with a vengeance.

Look: The hCG Diet works, but it works FOR A REASON, which is the effect that hCG has on your hypothalmus and other regulartory glands and systems (that, frankly, isn’t well understood).

Anyone selling Homeopathic hCG is a snake-oil salesman and if you are losing weight, or have lost weight with it congratulations, but don’t be surprised when you put all the weight back on.

Using real, natural hCG has the effect of burning ABNORMAL FAT while on the very low calorie diet and RESETTING YOUR METABOLISM when you finish Phase III of the diet protocol.
