(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 11, 2011 ) Louisville, KY -- ItÂ’s alarming to know that Americans spend 90% of their food budget on processed foods. These processed foods contain twice the amount of calories we need daily and yet only offer 25% of the vital nutrients we need to preserve good health and avoid illness. ThatÂ’s why 66.7% of Americans are overweight or obese so that means out of 307 million Americans, over 200 million suffer from a weight problem. Louisville weight loss population has exploded to 360,000 who are overweight and obese.
A BMI (Body Mass Index) of greater than 30 = obesity. Check BMI at www.slimspamedical.com
HCG weight loss promotes eating fresh meats, vegetables and fruits. Protein is obtained from steak, skinless chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab and shrimp. Fresh vegetables allowed on the HCG diet are spinach, tomatoes, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage and greens like lettuce. And of course, fresh fruits like strawberries (and other berries), apples, oranges and grapefruit. No processed foods are allowed during the HCG diet.
The HCG diet plan works together with VLCD (very low calorie diet) and one might be asking themselves – why couldn’t they just do the low calories without the HCG? That’s a good question because logically it makes sense if one reduces calories than they will reduce weight. There are two basic reasons one should avoid just reducing calories to lose weight.
1. Reducing calories lowers oneÂ’s metabolism. If they suffer from overweight or obesity, itÂ’s safe to say they already suffer from a low metabolism. By reducing calories, their body slows down itÂ’s metabolism as a mechanism in order to survive. ThatÂ’s why when they terminate the diet, their weight bounces back or itÂ’s above their original weight before they induced their body on low calories.
2. Inducing oneÂ’s body on a low calorie diet shocks their brain into starvation mode. During starvation, oneÂ’s body holds on to their fat as a mechanism to survive. Thus, a low calorie diet will prohibit oneÂ’s body from releasing their abnormal fat. Instead, their body will deplete their reserve fat, then their structural fat and then finally their fat bank of abnormal fat.
These 2 basic reasons are why one has not been successful by reducing calories in the past. A combination of sublingual HCG and VLCD can mobilize and reduce oneÂ’s abnormal fat.
If one suffers from overweight and obesity it is a mandatory that they lose weight, eat healthy and exercise in order to improve their chances of living longer. This healthy living will ultimately improve the quality of life without becoming a risk factor for obesity related diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes to name a few.
