The "HCG-diet" -- 3 reasons to NEVER do this

 It seems that so many people lately have been asking me about this so-called "HCG-diet" and whether it's safe or healthy to do.  The answer is a big fat NO!

One of my trusted colleagues and Nutritionist, Coach Josh, just wrote up an article on this same topic so I wanted to share it with you, so you don't go down the wrong road and think it's safe to try HCG.

Take it away Coach Josh...


3 Reasons You Should NOT Try the HCG-Diet 
by Coach Josh, founder of BellyFatFree 

READERS QUESTION <<<

Hi Coach Josh! One of my coworkers recently dropped 20-lbs in four weeks. I asked her for the secret to her success, and she mentioned something called the HCG-Diet that is suppose to reduce cravings. She looks better and I want quick results like that! Is this something you advocate? How does it work?—Mary P., Kansas City, MO

JOSH’S RESPONSE <<<

Thanks for writing in Mary. Don’t be jealous of your coworkers’ fat loss. If she keeps following this diet soon she will be suffering from an irregular heartbeat, hair-loss, and she will very likely regain the weight within one year. In today’s article I’m going to EXPOSE the HCG-Diet. You can then decide for yourself whether or not you want to follow in the path of your coworker.

What Is The HCG Diet?

This diet was fairly popular in the 1950’s until it became clear that there was insufficient evidence to support using HCG for fatloss. As with most fad diets, the HCG Diet has resurfaced and makes some pretty outlandish claims. Many of the products declare that the diet will “reset your metabolism”, change “abnormal eating patterns” and result with a “loss of 1-2 pounds per day.”

HCG is a hormone produced in women by the placenta during pregnancy. HCG is sold as a prescription drug approved by the Food & Drug Administration for various medical conditions including the treatment of female infertility (but not weight-loss). The diet requires a daily injection of this hormone along with a scary obligation to eat a very low calorie diet of ONLY 500 CALORIES A DAY!

Why Do People Lose So Fast?

In short, people are actually losing twenty pounds and more per month because they are starving themselves! If you stop eating, you will likely drop weight quickly no matter what you are injecting into your body.

It’s insane really... it will cost you hundreds of dollars a month and the real secret to this diet is... starvation. You don’t have to pay for that... you can starve yourself free of charge. =) (Which I don’t recommend.)

The HCG label actually states, there “is no substantial evidence that it increases weight-loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or ‘normal’ distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.”

Is It Safe?

No matter your size, that level of calorie restriction is severe and does not lack consequences. These include, but are not limited to, gallstone formation, irregular heartbeat, vitamin & mineral deficiency and electrolyte imbalance. This means that the HCG diet is not only unhealthy, it’s hazardous.

Keep in mind that following this diet will give you an increased risk of headaches, blood clots, restlessness and depression. In addition, the HCG can give you pregnancy-like symptoms, such as water retention, breast tenderness and swelling. And finally, HCG can also cause a condition called OHSS, or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which is potentially life-threatening.

In addition to the calorie restriction being unsafe, the HCG hormone is actually illegal for over the counter sale for any reason. In fact, it’s not approved for weight-loss even as a prescription. The FDA is warning any consumer currently using HCG for fat-loss to stop taking it and to stop following the dieting instructions immediately. I recommend this too!

My suggestion? Stick to what we know works—eating natural, wholesome foods, healthy supplements and exercise—and don’t be fooled, misled or tempted by fad starvation diets. Sustainable, healthy fat loss takes a permanent change of your habits and lifestyle.

So what about those pesky cravings that the HCG diet was suppose to end?

It’s no secret that excess hunger and cravings are the #1 reported problem of all my readers. And let’s face it, no diet is ever going to help you lose body flab if you can’t first control your cravings. Luckily there is a real scientific solution to your cravings and you can learn about it at my site here:

Foods that KILL cravings (for a flat stomach) 

To your health,
Coach Josh

Thanks Josh!  I completely agree...I think it's ridiculous that so many people keep falling for dangerous fad diets like this instead of just truly adopting a healthy lifestyle, daily exercise, and the right healthy eating plan for life.

Low Carb, No Carb, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, No Protein



One New Workout after another..P90X, 10 Minute trainer, Crossfit,



Should you have a CHECKLIST?

Yes People..

What is your BMR?

You use energy no matter what you're doing, even when sleeping, your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day.

What is your Body Fat %

A person's body fat percentage is the total weight of the person's fat divided by the person's weight and consists of essential body fat and storage body fat. Some regard the body fat percentage as the better measure of an individual's fitness level, as it is the only body measurement which directly calculates the particular individual's body composition without regard to the individual's height or weight

Do you know your exercise caloric expenditure? How many calories you burn during exercise. Do you know you can burn 300 calories in just 30 minutes of stair climbing.

Do you know how much cardio you should do? Cardio does do a lot of good for the body. It helps to strengthen the cardiovascular system. But to much cardio could not be what you need. It might even make you gain weight.

PEOPLE

You need to know what's going on. This is YOUR BODY.

Get ready this week I have something Special Coming.

Are you sick and tired of:

The "C" word women HATE

Hi Everyone,

We are talking about the C word today..

CELLULITE..

First what is it?

Well Wiki says:

Cellulite is a topographic skin change claimed to occur in most postpubertal females.^[1] It presents as a modification of skin topography evident by skin dimpling and nodularity that occurs mainly in women on the pelvic region, lower limbs, and abdomen, and is caused by the herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue, leading to a padded or orange peel–like appearance

What does it look like?







Weight Loss May Worsen Cellulite?

The research, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, is based on a study of 29 women who enrolled in medically supervised weight loss programmes. These included low-fat meals and the extreme measure of bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass and gastric banding. Seventeen of these patients (58%) experienced an improvement in the appearance of their cellulite, but nine (31%) saw their condition worsen.

The patients with the biggest improvements were those who lost the most weight and lowered their percentage of thigh fat. They also had a higher body mass index (BMI) to begin with and more severe cellulite.

Patients whose cellulite worsened started with a "significantly" lower BMI, lost smaller amounts of weight and had no change in percentage of thigh fat.

Those whose skin became looser after weight loss - losing its elasticity - also had worse cellulite. The average weight loss was 13.8kg (30.5lb). The study concluded that losing weight had "variable effects" on the appearance of cellulite.

John Kitzmiller, a plastic surgeon and co-author of the study, said: "Approximately 85% of women are affected by cellulite. Cellulite is not specific to overweight people but excess weight may worsen the condition.

"Although the appearance of cellulite diminished for the majority of patients, weight loss did not totally eradicate the condition. The dimples appear to be permanent features that lessen in depth as the pounds come off."

How do you get rid of it?

If you've wasted time and money on scam cellulite solutions, you're going to be happy – and sad – to hear what I have to say. The truth is if you want to
know how to lose cellulite, the answer has been right in front of your face all along.

And yes, it's the classic 3-step system of the right diet, the right exercise, and getting social support. There's nothing fancy, nothing expensive, and nothing magical about any of these.

Perhaps you expected me to promote some magical seaweed harvested off the coast of the Canary Islands only between November and December when the moon is full? Well, if that's the case, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Instead, you're going to discover that it's possible for a woman to lose cellulite in her 40's, 50's and 60's, even when most women have given up on beating the cellulite curse.

Most women rely on long, slow cardio training, but in all my years as a trainer, I've never seen jogging build a better butt. In fact, most women joggers still have the same saggy butt and thighs problem as non-joggers.

And sometimes it's even worse (plus, they notice it more too, with all that thigh-rubbing during their long, slow cardio workouts).

Instead, women need to focus on interval training to lose cellulite from their thighs and resistance training to tone up their tush..

That's exactly what one my clients, a woman named Melanie, did it by switching to three short, but intense workouts per week. She Joined Bootcamp, and when she couldnt go to Bootcamp she used my CELLULITE REMOVAL SYSTEM and started with 20 minutes of total body resistance training and finished with 20 minutes of interval training.

Melanie found these workouts to be much more effective for losing cellulite than her old workouts of long cardio. Australian researchers have also found that interval training is more effective for burning belly fat in woman as well, even though the interval workouts lasted only half the time.


No marathon cardio sessions needed. Instead, her cellulite solution workouts focused on short, burst activities only. But none of this would have been possible without the support of her husband.

Most women don't know this, but social support is one of the most important factors in the success of any fat loss program. If you don't have someone motivating you, encouraging you, and holding you accountable, even all the magic in the world won't cure your cellulite, because at the end of the day, you still have to do the work.

Along with a 1600 calorie per day diet of whole, natural foods and the loving social support of her husband, Melanie was able to lose over 25 pounds in 12 weeks and dropped her body fat 7.7% to an all-time low of 16.9%. She lost 3 inches from her thighs and over 3.5 inches from her hips. It literally looks as though someone elevated her butt two inches and removed all the fat from her low back.

By getting rid of her cellulite and boosting her butt, Melanie not only changed her body but transformed herself inside and out. She now has the power over food, rather than it having the power over her, and she has her best-ever body, most women simply give up or continue to rely on cellulite scams to provide an overnight change in their body.

She is an inspiration to women everywhere who want to know how to lose cellulite.

There's no magic potion or pill. Just the right diet, exercise and social support.

Hi


With 2010 winding down - you might be considering what you are going to

do to take your body and your health to the next level.




Quite frankly, I foresee in the next year (and beyond) that it will be even

more important to continually surround yourself with the right kind of information,

with the truth and with positive mindsets. It's my firm belief that the major shifts in the health and fitness industry occurring right now are the 'new normal' regardless of how much BS is out there. And the people in our group, collectively, will be in the best position to take advantage of these changes,

burn the most amount of fat, and develop NEW lean muscle tissue.




I look around the classes and my one on one clients and see Bodies changing and people getting healthier and having a better quality life style.

I have been researching for months, testing over and over..and NOW I know for sure I have found the answers I was looking for.

This will not be a fun and games diet and exercise plan. This will be the most advanced eating system I have created. That's why I am doing it too.

This is NOT for people who don't want to burn fat quick and might seem unconventional to some..

But guess what, what everyone else is doing works..but take months.

I want to go to Mexico in February..to the beach..so I need to burn fat and build muscle in 30 days.

Nuts to 'em. You know how the World can get up off its hind legs? If a bunch of us get busy and eat better foods. Have better workout.We will Lose a helluva lot more weight!

WHAT IF YOU could have a NEW metabolism?

I say: out with the old, in with the new. Let's take a big damn bulldozer to all the mediocrity and ordinariness, and silly excuses we have been making.

I'm gonna tell you a story about YOU.

Over the years, You have eaten a lot of Good foods..and you have also eaten a lot of BAD foods.

Day in and day out, month after month, these Foods have built up in your system and YOU have created a Traffic Jam:



This traffic Jam has slowed down YOUR metabolism. So even when you have tried to "diet" it has not worked as well as you wanted it to.

I know what you might be thinking...but yes YOU to have a history of eating bad foods and as a result have clogged your metabolism.

It is NOT age...the ONLY thing that age has to do with is that...YOU have been doing some damage for longer than when you were younger.

The plan is easy to follow and SUPER effective. The First thing that we do is Get rid of all the OLD clogging that you have. We will flush it all out in 1 day. THEN I will little by little reintroduce macro nutrients (that's a fancy term for food groups).

What does that do? It teaches your Body how to process each food group individually. After so many years of food combinations and disaster meals, this is the sure fire solution to speeding up your metabolism.

So we repeat this process every 48 hours and at the end of the 10 Days you are eating full meals, and YOUR body has a New understanding of how to process these food faster.

How cool is that?

And you don't need to go anywhere..We do ALL of this through EMAIL.

Pre and Post workout Meal

"Discover How to Utilize the Most Important 60 Minutes of the Day, Priming Your Body to Burn Calories 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week While Building Lean, Rock-Hard Solid Muscle, and Catapulting Your Athletic Performance Through the Roof... Using the Exact Formula of the Most Determined Fitness Enthusiasts and World's Most Elite Athletes!"

Dear Friend,
If you've been struggling to break through the barrier that's been holding you back, whether it's to gain a competitive edge, build muscle, shed fat, or simply have more energy...
And you're trying to do it through your nutrition program...


You could be making a HUGE mistake...

Many people know that nutrition is the key to achieve the results they want. You need to consume balanced meals and spread them throughout the day. That's a no-brainer. But what many people don't know, or tend to forget, is that the absolute Most Important meal of the day is the recovery (or post- competition) meal.


Within the first 60 minutes of finishing your workout, you should consume a meal consisting of a precisely formulated mixture of fast-absorbing carbohydrates combined with high-concentration proteins. Get this wrong and ...


Suffer the Consequences

Deprive your body of the nutrients it needs immediately after your workout, and you may as well flush your training efforts down the toilet. Your performance will suffer the next time you train, you'll likely lose muscle along the way, plus you risk destroying your fat-burning metabolism, losing 20% of the gains you otherwise would have made. The simple fix is to consume a precisely calculated meal immediately after your workout to support your goals - whether it's burning fat, building muscle, or dramatically improving your athletic performance.


... and most people fail to consume the most important meal of the day because of one or more of the following reasons:

1. They don’t have time to prepare a workout recovery meal. Let’s face it: in today’s fast paced world, who does? It’s downright difficult to remember to pre-cook and pre-package a meal the day before, then remember to carry it with you to the gym every single day. Those that tried to “cook as you go,” found it extremely difficult to rush home to prepare food within the time frame needed to reap the rewards of a post-workout meal. So at best, their post workout meals were really late (providing no real benefit) or were skipped altogether.
2. They hate eating cold cooked meals. There’s nothing worse than finishing up your workout or training session then sitting down to a cold, nasty chicken breast. Frankly, it’s dry and disgusting - might as well be eating mud. And for those who “could” force down cold meals, they could only do it for a short amount of time. The unappetizing taste usually made them begin to dread even looking at the food anymore.
3. They can't stand the taste of 99% of all meal replacement shakes. Pick up 10 different meal replacement shakes off the shelves, and 9 out of 10 will be downright disgusting. Many taste like watered down chalk water disguised as a protein supplement - or worse. The very thought of drinking this stuff has most people cringing.


Does any of this sound familiar?

...if you answered, "Yes," pay close attention to what we are about to reveal to you. Because there is a very extraordinary post-workout formula about to be unleashed - And We Guarantee You Don't Want to Miss the Boat.

3 Hormones for fat loss

By John Romaniello, New York’s Premier Fat Loss Expert and the creator of the Final Phase Fat Loss program

It seems like most fat loss programs focus on one main thing: to burn fat, you have to expend more energy than you take in.

Such a focus makes sense of course, because if there is a universal truth to fat loss, that’s it.

This is what we call “energy balance.” In order to lose fat, you have to create what we call “energy debt” or “energy deficit” – that is, eliminate the balance and instead be on the negative side of the balance scales.

Of course, that works very well for “beginning” fat. However, success doesn’t last forever.

As anyone who’s ever been on a diet and exercise program of any kind can tell you, at first it’s pretty smooth sailing. Eat less, do more, lose fat.

And then it stops! And as those same people can also tell you, it usually stops suddenly.

Of course, the first instinct people have is a very natural one…to simply do more of what was bringing them success in the first place.

So they eat even less and do even more.

And…have no results.

You see, what these people fail to realize (and what most fat loss programs fail to address) is…

After a certain point, simple energy deficit no longer covers the tab.

It becomes more about what type of deficit.

Speaking generally, you actually have to eat closer to maintenance calorie levels (instead of far below) and expend more calories through exercise.

Even then, things don’t always happen as quickly as you want.

You see, once you’ve hit a fat loss plateau or when you’re trying to lose the last few pounds (like I was when I was dieting for the beach house), fat loss becomes less about energy balance and more about hormones.

You see, some hormones, such as Leptin, actually control the majority of your general fat loss efforts and all of the factors thereof: appetite, satiety, “starvation mode.” However, assuming you’re eating enough and trying to create an energy deficit through training, Leptin isn’t the issue.

In Final Phase Fat Loss though, you’re never on a severe diet, so you don’t have to worry about Leptin.

There are other hormones however, which are a bit more insidious in their effects on your physique. They don’t just determine IF you gain fat – they determine where you gain it, and whether you’re able to lose it from those areas.

Those “problem” areas on your body are there for a reason.

“Problem areas” are created by your hormonal environment, and it’s your hormones that force your body to have particular fat storage patterns.

In this article, we’re going to talk about the three most common types of regional fat storage, and the hormones that cause them.

Back Got Back: Low Body Fat Storage

One of the most common types of fat storage that we see in women is the “pear shape” – fairly thin on top but heavy on the bottom (and IN the bottom, if you know what I mean).



This is so common that we often refer to a “pear shape” as a body type. This is true to an extent, but this type of fat storage is also heavily dependent on the female sex hormone estrogen. This is one reason why you see this type of fat storage primarily in women.

High levels of estrogen are awesome for enjoying Grey’s Anatomy and makin’ babies, but terrible for fat loss – which is why women usually have more trouble losing fat than men.

However, anyone—male or female—with high estrogen levels will have trouble losing fat, especially from the lower body. In essence, the higher your estrogen levels, the greater the likelihood you’ll store fat in your lower body; mainly in the hips and thighs.

And yes, it IS possible for men to have high estrogen levels. Unfortunately, outside of having to deal with a declined rate of fat loss and lower body fat, these guys ALSO have to deal with the ignominy of man-boobs.

On the whole, estrogen related fat storage is a pain in the butt (get it!?) but it is not completely unmanageable. You see, you can offset this phenomenon with certain types of training.

No worries, ladies (and gents!), I’m here to help.

In addition to helping you lose fat stored in the lower body, these specifically designed workouts will also be great for fat loss in general. Essentially, they’re great for burning calories and for shedding lower body fat through estrogen management. Combine the two and the result is rapid fat loss, with a heavy concentration on lower body fat stores.

Muffin Tops: No Love for the Love Handles

NOT This One:

THIS ONE>>

Probably my least favorite incarnation of regional fat storage is love handles and lower back fat. This is, of course, because I personally suffer from such.

Even when I am in lean condition – I’m talking shredded pretty much everywhere else – I store some fat in my love handles and lower back. It used to take me an extra 3 weeks to get rid of it!

The reason I tend to store fat this way is because of how my body reacts to certain hormones, and because of the effect those hormones have on fat storage.

When I was a fat kid and ate lots and lots of goodies, I screwed by my endocrine system a wee bit. Nothing too serious, but a decade of eating rapidly digesting carbs followed by, well, more rapidly digesting carbs, made my insulin spike and crash and spike and crash all over the place.

On top of making me fat in that immediacy, it also completely had a pretty negative effect on the way my body processes and handles insulin period.

The degree to which you are able to process and respond to glucose (sugar) in your body is called insulin sensitivity. The higher this is, the easier and more efficiently your body utilizes carbohydrates for energy, and the less like you are to store carbs as fat.

On the other hand, insulin resistance is the opposite; you don’t deal well with carbs. And anything other than a low carb diet pretty much means you’re gonna hang on to some fat.

And, to make matters worse, as I mentioned previously, there are regional effects. It’s been shown that people who store fat in the love handles are generally very insulin resistant – and therefore it can be reasoned that insulin resistance leads to love handles and lower back fat storage (which of course, means that insulin resistance makes it very hard to lose fat from that area as well).

I’m sure many of you out there who have been heavy before are experiencing much the same problems that I used to have.

The good news is that insulin resistance (and the resulting regional fatness) can be mitigated with certain types of training. For example, with careful planning and selection of exercises, you can start to whittle away at your love handles and lower back fat while you increase insulin sensitivity.

The better news is that I’ve figured out a specific series of training sessions that will do just that.

The One, the Only: Belly Fat



Without question, the most common type of regional fat storage is belly fat. If this isn’t you, it’s someone you know.

Abdominal fat storage obviously has a lot to do with your diet and overall body fat level; that should be obvious but it never hurts to touch on it.

Outside of that, it’s hormones baby, hormones.

The one we’re talking about here is cortisol. This hormone has been in the media a lot in the past few years, and I’ve talked about it a bit, so by now you know that cortisol is sometimes called a “stress” hormone.

That moniker is more appropriate than you know.

Basically, that means your body will produce cortisol (and encourage belly fat storage) under conditions of nearly any type of stress – both emotional and physical. So to combat cortisol, it’s not enough to just get more sleep or stop drunk dialing your ex-girlfriend (although that helps, I’ve heard).

Instead, it is of far greater effect to combat cortisol through resistance training.

Now, if you’re observant, you may have noticed what seems to be a contradiction.

As I said, cortisol is also produced through physical stress. In fact, training is actually one of the primary means through which your body will produce this sneaky little hormone.

Additionally, because cortisol has been linked to overtraining and has a catabolic (muscle wasting) effect, producing too much of it through training is certainly counterproductive.

It’s important to note, however, that long duration cardio and extended lifting sessions are what produces the most cortisol, and I always recommend against those.

Instead, short, intense training sessions using a particular type of training modality will help to counteract the effects of cortisol; both the muscle-wasting effect and the cortisol related belly fat storage.
