Does Oral HCG Diet Solution Really Work?

The Oral HCG Diet Solution has been around as long as the HCG solution has been around. Yes, we usually think of HCG as more of an injection. But honestly speaking, doctors have used oral methods all along. So the question is, does it actually work, and what’s so special about the HCG Diet?

Breakdown

Basically speaking, HCG in general is predicated on the idea that when you inject yourself with a pregnancy hormone, you are lowering your appetite and speeding up your metabolism to lose “up to a pound of fat per day.” You can’t lose 1 gallon of fat mass in one day, it’s just not going to happen.

The Truth

But if you’ve ever seen a pregnant women, you may have noticed that most tend to gain weight, they tend to gain baby weight, and therefore, it doesn’t really make sense to think that you would lose weight. There are even fake pregnancies. In other words, the pregnancy hormones build up, and your body thinks it’s pregnant, even blowing up the stomach as you go. So logically speaking, eventually if used for even 6 successive months, one might assume that the hormone levels would build up, causing the body to actually act as if it is pregnant, gaining weight rather than losing it, bloating, etc.

Conclusion

Anyway, people on the HCG diet are expected to eat just 500 calories per day and pay for these injections, hundreds of dollars even. And realistically, it’s definitely not worth that. Most people lose only ½ a pound to 1 pound per day when eating only 500 calories and even exercising. You should be losing more than that. So as expected, if anything, the HCG hormone slows down weight loss.
