Have you tried the HCG Diet?
Here is the premise...you gorge to raise fat levels for 2 days and take the HCG hormone drops. They are about, actually, only 2-3% potent. Some people go to a doctor to take 100% shots. Some of the drops were $10 online. Since this has ben on Orpah, they shot up to $179.
They are supposed to - 1) make you feel like your energy is high, and 2) don't allow you to feel hungry, and 3) protect your muscle mass so that your body doesn't consume muscle when you lose. you just lose unwanted fat.
Catch?
1) 500 calories a day. 2) No working out.
You can't work out because you are taking in 500 calories.
I admit, the thinking person would be saying, "Duh. 500 calories?? OF COURSE YOU'LL LOSE WEIGHT."
Yes, yes, maybe BUT....
But...every try that and feel...satisfied when you eat? Some say you do with HCG
Fasting makes you feel hungry. Scripture says of Christ, "He hungered."
They say that the gorging sets your body up where the HCG drops work in conjunction with certain fat levels to attack fat not muscle. You eat whole foods.
Breakfast - coffee, no milk, using stevia. As much as you want.
Snack - apple.
Lunch, Chicken (3 ozs) and spinach (1 cup).
Snack - orange
Dinner - Turkey (3 ozs) with green beans (1 cup).
Now, in trying to lose weight by eating "little", you FEEL HUNGRY.
With the adverse affects of the drops, one guy that tried it says that you DON'T feel hungry. He said that you feel energized.
After 21 days, you go off the drops, stick with the eating for 3 days, then reboot again with a gorge day and starting the drops again. The next 21 days you go regular.
You can repeat the cycle until all unwanted fat is gone. Then you can start working out, experimenting with foods and up the calories.
You drink lots of water too.
Anyway, there you have it. That one guy has already lost 3 pant sizes and a bunch of weight. Might work?
