subject: Vlcd Or Very Low Calorie Diet [print this page] What's a VLCD? It references a very low calorie diet. On a VLCD dieters are allowed no more than 500 calories per day. In a lot of cases it isn't a great dieting option. Dieters are often not able to sustain the diet long enough while continuing to function normally.
But in one case in particular the VLCD is actually quite effective. It's the popular homeopathic HCG diet. This popular weight loss program is based on the protocol as introduced by Dr. Simeons more than 50 years ago. It was the first time HCG was officially proclaimed a weight loss tool. The original protocol required injections. HCG had to be injected daily. But newer, homeopathic methods now available offer the same results with no injections.
Injections were replaced with homeopathic oral drops that provide for the same functions as the injections in the original protocol. The drops are taken 3x per day under the tongue. They are taken in combination with the VLCD (500 calories per day) and a very strict list of approved foods. Dieters are also supposed to avoid strenuous exercise while on the homeopathic HCG diet. There just aren't enough calories floating around to support and exercise regime.
Many question the fact that the VLCD is frowned upon unless in combination with the HCG. But the main problem with the diet is that there aren't enough calories to leave the dieter able to go about their day to day function normally. And they just can't sustain it long enough to see results.
HCG makes this a very different scenario. It is a natural element in the human body that interacts with the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus interacts with the eating and drinking portions of the brain. This means that even though the dieter is sticking to a very low calorie diet they don't feel hunger pains as they normally would on a VLCD.
The program depends heavily on HCG, of course. The program is named after its main ingredient...HCG. But there are other vital elements that make the program successful. The program includes the VLCD, the HCG, the list of approved foods, the introduction of healthy food preparation and cooking methods, and one other important aspect. The HCG also teaches the body to absorb empty fat cells. This makes it easier to keep the weight off.
If a dieter succeeds on the homeopathic HCG dieting program it means that they have succeeded at re-teaching their body to deal with fat in a healthy manner. Fat cells are often emptied by many means of dieting. But the empty fat cells just hang around waiting for the first opportunity to be refilled with fat. This makes it horribly difficult to keep weight off after dieting. This is one of the main differences made by using homeopathic HCG methods of dieting.
The program presents a unique combination of characteristics that make it the most effective weight loss method currently available. It not only offers some of the best weight loss averages, but it also offers high maintenance success rates.
