HCG Diet Weight Loss Program and Hormone Balance

The Systems Approach™ HCG Diet Weight Loss Program, using the injectable form of HCG as part of the weight loss plan, can help people who otherwise have a hard time losing weight, especially losing excess fat.  For some people, the simple, direct approach of "eat less and exercise more" is not effective at achieving weight loss goals. 

Unwanted weight gain can be the result of poor sleep, hormone imbalance, wrong kinds and amounts of foods, wrong kinds and amounts of exercise, and too much stress.  Each of these factors can really keep a person trapped in a body that stores fat efficiently and that does not burn fat efficiently.  When this happens, it makes sense to get professional help to lose the excess fat. 

Why do I say "lose the excess fat" and not just say "weight loss"?  These details matter for a person who struggles with weight to succeed at losing weight and keeping it off as they acheive a healthy weight range again. 

If you do a weight loss program, lose weight, but do not lose fat, then you've done yourself no favors.  Once you are off of the weight loss program, you gain all the lost weight back; it becomes a rebound weight gain program.  Is this what you want?  Of course not!

Muscle tissue is needed for you to have a healthy, normal metabolism. 

If a weight loss program causes you to lose muscle, it means you are losing the very thing you need - the muscle tissue - to burn fat for fuel after your weight loss program is done.  So, after the program ends, here comes the weight right back, and likely more, as you are now at risk of having the metabolism slow down even further, making it even easier for you to gain weight, and especially gain fat. 

Active muscle tissue keeps your metabolism revved up and burns calories effectively and efficiently.  Active muscle tissue also uses glucose for fuel and helps keep glucose from being turned into fat.  Glucose gets turned into fat as a storage form of energy when you don't exercise, as a lack of exercise means there is no demand for muscles to use glucose as fuel, so it gets turned into fat instead. 

The Systems Approach™ HCG Diet Weight Loss Program is specific for preserving muscle tissue while losing fat.  You can test your own body fat percentage before and after this program to prove it to yourself.

If you find that after you've done a weight loss program that you are gaining back the weight you've lost, it's a great idea to get yourself assessed and tested.  You need to find out if you have a hormone imbalance, sleep apnea or another sleep problem, as these chronic health conditions can really undermine both your weight loss efforts and your ability to maintain a healthy weight range. 

If your hormone balance is missing, then you may be a candidate for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy - BHRT. 

Often people who struggle with weight are hypothyroid and they can benefit from bio-identical thyroid hormone replacement therapy - thyroid BHRT.

Some other hormone imbalances to consider are cortisol (a stress hormone), estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and more.

Once hormone imbalances are corrected and hormone balance is restored, patients who respond well to BHRT therapy enjoy an improved quality of life as their body and mind work better.  They often report that they feel much more like their old self again.
