The Last Diet Ever! Thats what one website is claiming and at first glance I bet many people out there are thinking Yes its finally happened! So the question on everyones mind is: what is it and how does it work? Allegedly, through a combination of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) injections and an ultra-low 500 kcal or less diet, the weight just comes right off. The HCG is supposed to trigger your hypothalamus to release stored fat as well as reduce hunger and redistribute body fat deposits. Another boast from the doctor on the website is that your hypothalamus will reset itself after the weight loss and is what some may call an obesity cure.
Despite all these gaudy claims, the one that got me the most was this statement from Susan Graham MD: I have not been able to find any examples of death from the use of HCG despite having spent hours on the computer researching the issue. This made me wonder, if she spent hours looking for deaths on the internet or what kind of scholarly research had she done on its effectiveness. She did not state any clinical evidence for any of the claims that she or the website makes. So, I decided to do the research for her and all of my readers out there seeking the truth.
First, lets first explain what HCG is and what its meant to do. HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy that through several interactions allows for the secretion of progesterone which helps sustain growth to the fetus. So, you may ask how did anyone get the idea to use it for weight loss? The answer to that question is Albert T. W. A fat loss overview can help you build a clear summarize of what you require to focus on to achieve your fat loss target if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an intermediate or more advance phase of their weight loss plan. Applying are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your personal weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss applications have tricked people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by leading to a person's body to lose more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Simeons. Simeons was an English born endocrinologist who spent the bulk of his studies trying to cure tropical diseases. In 1930 he traveled to India where he fell into his studies on HCG.
There he studied the effects of HCG injections in combination with a 500 calorie diet on pregnant women and young teen boys with a pituitary disorder causing extreme obesity. In 1954 Simeons determined, based on his studies, that with small doses of HCG and a low calorie diet, extreme weight loss occurred. Despite his findings there has been little research on it since. One study I reviewed by Asher et al. performed a double blind study on 40 women in which half received HCG injections and the others received a placebo. In that study the HCG group did experience greater weight loss than the placebo group. However, despite their findings, they seemed to agree that the lost weight was due more to a stricter adherence to the diet regimen.
Another study however looked to directly test Simeonss theory. Greenway et al. performed a similar study in regards to format and found no significant difference in weight loss, hunger, anxiety or depression. It appears from my research that only 2 studies saw a significant difference in weight loss amongst their two groups. All the studies seem to agree that there seems to be no significant correlation between HCG, weight loss, and hunger, and that more research is needed. The problem that one might run into on such a low calorie diet however, would be the lack of nutrients necessary for a healthy body. Most of the research also agrees that anyone consuming only 25% of their daily caloric needs is likely to lose weight based on that fact alone.
Another problem this diet runs into is the fact that after the clients lose their weight, they are likely to fall back into old eating habits since newer healthier ones havent been established. As a result of insufficient evidence on its effectiveness, the FDA has not approved it as a valid weight loss supplement. However, it is legal with a prescription from a doctor. Several professional sports organizations such as the MLB have banned its use and have suspended players such as Manny Ramirez for taking it.
So while some may claim this to be the Last Diet Ever, I and the medical community arent sold on the idea just yet. The research has spoken and says that more research is needed. At this time there appears to be no real evidence that this stuff works. This makes one wonder why these doctors would even prescribe a drug without any proof. I guess the economy puts pressure on all our pockets. Until I find the miracle pill for you guys, stick with your veggies and dumbbells and keep plugging away. Stay Healthy and be happy.
