Discussing HCG Weight Loss and Its Value


by Steve Searls



In recent times, aspiring weight losers as well as some medical experts have been spending more time discussing HCG weight loss. Scientifically HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a naturally produced hormone that is commonly found in the bodies of pregnant women during the early pregnancy stages.

When a small amount of HCG is combined with a low calorie diet, it can cause a person’s body to metabolize which some say is ideal for anyone who seriously wants to lose weight. As a result of this process, HCG will also cause the body to use abnormal fat, process it and then reset the hypothalamus.

Theoretically, a person who diets and uses HCG will be able to go back to her normal consumption and, as long as the person sticks to healthy limits (no post-diet overeating), she will be able to keep the weight off for some time. It is reported that if a dieter precisely follows the HCG diet procedure, he or she can lose an average of one to two and a half pounds per day.

The scientific process of HCG weight loss goes like this – a tiny amount of HCG is sufficient to disconnect mobile fat from the person’s body, burn it and then discharge the excess fat through the kidneys. At the same time, the fatty acids separate from the fat cells which is the result of HCG’s ability to open fat cell membranes.

While weight loss is often perceived to have a weakening process on the human body, the HCG diet does not compromise strength and there are those who practiced it that claimed to remain energetic. Because of this, some people who are conscious over their weight find the HCG diet ideal for their needs.

The man behind the creation and formulation of the HCG diet is Dr. A.T.W. Simeons. Thanks to his work, HCG is the only weight loss procedure that specifically allows a person to get rid of unwanted fat while still retaining the normal fat, as well as having lean body mass. Thousands around the world who practiced the HCG diet are able to enjoy consuming good food without worrying about weight gain or fat buildup.

More historical details of the HCG weight loss program can be found in Dr. Simeons’ book entitled Pounds and Inches, which is currently available in major online book sellers as well as bookstores around the nation.

Use A Diet Club to Market Your Weight Loss Product

It seems that, everywhere you look, everyone is trying to lose weight. If you are in a network marketing company that has a weight loss product line, you have a huge, hot, and hungry market that you can sell to.

One of the easiest marketing strategies that you can implement is starting a diet club in your town. Here are tips to get your diet club started off right.

1. Host a diet club in your home. If you cannot do it, one of your friends, family members, or colleagues may be willing to be the host, especially when you offer them free samples of your network marketing's company's weight loss product.

2. The host will need to invite six or more people to your diet club. The invitations can look something like this:

"Your Dieting Days are Over!"

The problem with diets is that, whenever you go on a diet, eventually you have to get off the diet. What usually happens? The weight returns.

*Drink a shake. Lose weight! Eat a cookie. Lose weight! Try these and other fun and easy ways to lose weight!

*Never be hungry! (that's better than willpower!)

*Enjoy great tasting cookies between meals!

*Lose weight and keep it off!

Come to our diet club kick off! Meet new friends, bring your favorite dish and recipe, and lose weight while snacking with us!

Fun! Healthy! Plus it all tastes so good!

3. Purchase a scale so that you will have one for the official "weigh-in".

4. Plan to have your diet club meet on the same day and time every week. Every member will need to weigh in each week. The member who loses the most weight will get to keep the special "Weight Loss Trophy" for the week. You will need to remind them to bring it back for the next group meeting's winner. When you do it like this, you will only need to purchase one trophy.

5. The member that loses the least amount of weight or gains the most gets a booby prize. This can be anything, such as an embarrassing poster they have to put on their refrigerator for the week. Get creative! Whoever gets the booby prize will need to bring it back to the next meeting so that the new winner can receive it.

6. After the weigh-in, trophy, and booby prize awards, give your diet club members a tip or two about proper eating and dieting. Share with them how your weight loss product can help them meet their goals.

7. Lastly, socialize! Share recipes, give out cookies, shakes, or whatever weight loss product your network marketing company promotes. Dig into the delicious dishes that members bring. Overall, just enjoy the fellowship and then repeat next week!

That's it! This is all it takes to start your own diet club in your hometown. Your members will appreciate your efforts, and it's highly likely you will get lots of orders for your weight loss products! So, get going with your first diet club today!

What Is Wrong With Fad Diets



If you do a fad diet and it helps you lose weight fast and get results, what can be wrong with that?

Surley you have seen many ads on the internet and in magazines that say that you can get a huge weight loss in only a few days time.

Is this type of weight loss really possible? Yes - but... in almost every instance the weight loss from a fad diet is temporary and usually due to loss of water weight. Our bodies are made up of a large percentage of water so as soon as your body rehydrates itself you will put that quick weight loss right back on.

What are some of the reasons a fad diet is not good for you?

1. A fad diet usually tells you to focus on a single food type and avoid all others. This means you miss out on the nutrition you really need and can get from a more balanced diet approach.

Quite often these fad diets will even tell you to take vitamins and supplements to make up for all the nutritional deficiencies you experience while on that fad diet. However, your body will not be able to absorb the nutrients from the recommended supplements unless you take them with food. And many of the foods that help you absorb nutrients are banned on fad diets.

2. Fad diets are usually so restrictive and unappetizing that after as little as one day you will begin having overwhelming cravings for other foods and most likely you will not be able to complete the fad diet. This quitting will also wreak havoc on your self esteem as you may beat yourself up for not having enough willpower to stick it out with the diet.

3. Fad diets are temporary solutions to your weight problems. Even if you do follow through to the end with a fad diet you have not made permanent healthy changes to the way you handle food in your life. So fad dieters tend to be yo-yo dieters that go back and forth between extreme lo-calorie fad diets to periods of bingeing on food groups that were missing from the fad diet. So fad dieters are on a roller coaster of gaining and losing the same darn pounds again and again.

No matter what you see in the media about quick weight loss fad diets, realize that these diets will never work long term.

The best way to lose weight and sustain that weight loss (so you never have to diet again) is to eat a variety of healthy foods, avoid overeating, and do regular exercise. This simple formula works every time.
