Why is the Homeopathic HCG Diet Called the Pregnancy Diet?

By Amelia Handley

The homeopathic HCG weight loss program is often referred to as the pregnancy diet. So many people hear this and immediately have questions come to mind. Does this mean that dieters are supposed to be pregnant? Does this somehow indicate that dieters are supposed to not be pregnant? Or does it mean that dieters have to have a history including pregnancy in order to undergo the program? Actually the answer is no.

So why is it called the Pregnancy Diet? It's a little odd at first, but the term did come about for a reason. HCG's official name is human chorionic gonadotropin. It's a glycoprotein hormone produced during pregnancy. It's created by the developing embryo soon after conception and later on by the placenta.

The human chorionic gonadotropin protects the corpus luteum of the ovary throughout pregnancy. By doing so it ensures that progesterone production continues as necessary for healthy pregnancy/fetal development. Studies continue to study the possible connection between this hormone and the immune tolerance of pregnancy as well.

The relationship between HCG and pregnancy is known to the general public because of the noticeable increase in HCG during pregnancy. It's one of the signs used to determine pregnancy using early on tests.

The use of HCG in fertility treatments is another connection that defines the hormone for the general public. It's used as a parental fertility medication. It can help to trigger ovulation. It can increase progesterone production (as is obvious by its vital function during pregnancy). It can be used in male fertility treatment (stimulating testosterone production).

HCG as a weight loss aid was introduced by Dr. Simeons over 50 years ago. The original plan was dependent upon daily injections. Recent evolution of the HCG and its administration has led to reputable homeopathic oral formulas that enable dieters to take advantage of the weight loss benefits without injections. The oral administration method has increased the general acceptance of the method leading to a massive explosion in the popularity of HCG weight loss method in the last year. - 17274
