Is The HCG Diet Just Another Crash Diet?

When You First Found Out About The HCG Diet, Did You Think It Was Just Another Crash Diet?

First off, for those of you that don't know what a crash diet is let me clarify...

A crash diet - is a diet which is extreme in its nutritional deprivations, typically severely restricting calorie intake. It is meant to achieve rapid weight loss and may differ from outright starvation only slightly. It is not meant to last for long periods of time, at most a few weeks. Importantly, the term specifically implies a lack of concern for proper nutrition. Contrary to the belief of many who start this sort of diet, this form of dieting is neither healthy nor largely successful in achieving long term weight loss as it provokes a slow down of the body's metabolic rate - the body seeks to conserve every calorie and so weight loss becomes increasingly difficult. While some initial weight is often lost, the weight is usually regained quickly in the weeks that follow, as the individual reverts to their original pre-crash diet.

There are a lot of people out there that would say yes it is a crash diet. But now that you know the definition of what a crash diet is, would you agree with them?

Well, let me tell you my thoughts on the topic...

Is The HCG Diet Just Another Crash Diet?

Now you might be a little bit surprised by my answer - I would say Yes, the HCG Diet is a crash diet, IF... it is not used the right way.

There are some people who do use the diet in this manner. These people are the ones who lose a ton of weight using the HCG Hormone, but they don't continue to follow the protocol, which means they don't keep the weight off - After that they do the diet again and again.

As I'm sure most of you already know, the diet is not meant to be used this way. When it is, it becomes just another crash diet.

Of coarse when it is used the right way, you will still lose a ton of weight. But if you stick to the protocol, it can also help you to reset your Hypothalamus Gland and fix your bodies metabolism. This means you won't have to do the diet over and over again.

So let's make sure that this diet does not become just another crash diet - Use it correctly and we'll all win!
