Another Reason To Lose Weight With The HCG Diet

Does Obesity Further Complicate H1N1?

With Flu season upon us, it's off to the doctor we go to get a flu shot. But is there something else we could do to avoid another outbreak of the H1N1 virus?

Maybe - I'm of coarse talking about losing weight. Today I watched a clip of The Early Show taped back in November 2009, where Dr. Holly Phillips, of WCBS-TV, and Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith, sat down to discuss the connection between obesity and the complications it can cause in conjunction the H1N1 virus.

This is what Dr. Phillips had to say about it...

"Of the 268 hospitalized patients for whom we had weights, actually 58% of them were obese. And 25% of that group were considered morbidly obese. Now, that's more than 100 pounds overweight, so they were significantly overweight and they were at five times increased risk of complications from the H1N1 flu than the general population."

I too thought this was very alarming. So I wanted to go ahead and share this video clip with all of you.

Obesity Can Further Complicate H1N1!



Now keep in mind, even though this was almost 2 years ago, studies have been done to further support what they already knew back then.

So if you ask me, this is just one more great reason to jump on board the HCG Diet bandwagon.

Would you like to write an article for the HCG Diet 411 Blog? These days, there are people all over the world that are using the HCG Diet. Whether it's good or bad, each one of these people have a story to tell about their experience. Are you one of these people? If so, I would love to hear what it is you have to say; and I'm sure my blog readers would too. Not a professional blogger? - Don't worry, you don't have to be. If you can write a letter, you can write a blog post. See, I really want to get HCG Diet users talking about how they've done with the diet so far - Because even though a doctor can tell you how the diet works and what to expect from it, only a handful of them have actually done it. Which means they can't tell you on a personal level what you will experience. Now don't get me wrong, most doctors are very knowledgeable about the HCG Diet and they usually have valuable information to share with their patients. I just th...

HCG Diet Dangers

HCG Diet Dangers - Are there any? And if so, what are they? So what are the dangers associate with the HCG Diet? If you were to Google the term " HCG Diet Dangers ", you would get a bunch of sites trying to sell you something related to the HCG Diet. A lot of the websites that you will run into trying to find the answer to this question, are nothing more than marketers using fear tactics to get you to buy their product. So try not to get pulled in by this sort of thing. The truth is there are some HCG Diet Dangers, but they're probably not as bad as you think. In fact, some of them are human errors that make this method of weight loss the most dangerous. I'm talking about things like getting an infection from not cleaning your syringe. While getting an infection from a syringe is a danger that is associated with the HCG Diet, it is a mistake that a human makes that causes it. Therefore, the danger can be eliminated if you can only remember to use alcohol pads...
