HCG injections

 I'm sure you've heard about all the wacky diets out there today. Everyday people are buying into unhealthy ways to lose weight. Now, let's face it. Nobody likes to carry around extra weight on their body. I, for one, spend an hour a day in exercise alone just to ward off those ugly extra pounds! But so many just want a quick fix.

 

Friends...there are no quick fixes that last. Healthy bodies and minds are what we are after. Optimal health is only achieved by long term healthy choices.

What's all the fuss about the HCG Diet?


Coach Nicole (from Spark People) warned us about this wacky diet--which involves eating a strict diet of no more than 500 calories a day, plus injections (gulp!)--a couple of years ago. Yet now, just as then, hCG is a hot diet trend, heavily marketed in print and radio ads. It's so widely used that you probably even know someone who has tried it.

She said: "If you're completely changing your diet and eating a third of the calories you should be eating to stay healthy, it's hard to know what's really causing weight loss: the diet, the hCG injection/pill or both. Research shows that the restrictive diet is responsible—that hCG injections aren't really doing anything to promote weight loss. What's more, the FDA has never approved of hCG as a weight loss aid."




Side Note:  Look at what the FDA is saying now....

Spark People's expert says: "Numerous double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies conducted between the 1970s and 1990s (see a list of selected sources below) have shown that hCG injections provide NO weight-loss advantage. In study after study, researchers compared two groups: a control group who followed the diet only and another group who followed the same diet AND received hCG injections. Time after time, the weight loss between the two groups was identical, demonstrating that hCG injections offer no weight-loss advantage over dieting alone. Or in layman's terms, "hCG injections have nothing to do with the weight loss. SAVE YOUR MONEY!" -- Becky Hand, R.D., L.D., SparkPeople Head Dietitian

Instead of putting your health into the hands of injections why not apply good, solid nutrition?
