ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwired - August 26, 2016) - There is no shortage of fad diets, with a new one emerging seemingly every day. With more than 60% of Americans battling excessive weight gain or obesity, it is not surprising that there is a surplus of weight loss aids in the market. However, not all weight loss aids and programs are made equal and some are actually potentially dangerous, like the hCG diet.
The hCG diet was created in the 1950s by Dr. ATW Simeons and involves combining low doSES of hCG (a hormone naturally produced by pregnant women) with extremely low caloric intake, to induce rapid weight loss. It was supposedly designed to burn "abnormal" fat located in cells and around internal organs. While many hCG diet patients experienced rapid weight loss, most also acquired severe side effects that dISAbled them from completing daily activities and compromised their health in the long-term. This is because the original hCG diet requires patients to consume 500 calories or less per day, which naturally results in excessive weakness and exhaustion. Severe hair and muscle loss was also a direct result.
According to Dr. Nishant Rao, a medical professional at Diet Doc, a nationally recognized weight loss program, losing weight is about adopting the right weight loss strategy and following customized diet plans. Blindly following a diet like the hCG diet could result in long-term negative consequences. For instance, Dr. Rao states, fasting all day and then eating a steak and tomato at night provides about 50g of protein along with some fat and carbs. This might add up to 300 calories, if nothing else is consumed. On the next day, one may expect to have lost weight because of the extremely low number of calories consumed during the previous day. However with such low amounts of protein and carbs, it is more likely that one would lose valuable muscle mass and even if weight loss is observed on the scale, it is likely that body composition isn't improving at all. In addition, shifts on the scale can often be attributed to the loss of water weight as well.
Due to the unreliability and potential dangers of diets such as hCG, it is crucial to consult a doctor before initiating any weight loss program. Diet Doc, a nationally recognized weight loss company, has dedicated decades of scientific research into refining diet aids to offer their patients safer, healthier and more effective method for fast weight loss without adverse side effects.
