hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone that is found in pregnant women. Some studies have shown that an injection of hCG can result in weight loss of 1 or 2 pounds or more each day. It is also recommend that people on this diet also be on a very low calorie diet of around 500 calories a day. Albert Simeons, a British endocrinologist , claims that small injections of hCG can result in the the loss of fat and not the loss of muscle tissue. Dr Simeons has detailed his findings in a book called “Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity”.

hCG Diet Plan

The main idea behind the hCG diet plan is to be on a low calorie diet (500 calories) and to get hCG injections or use hCG drops. There are numerous products available on the market and over the Internet that include hCG. You should research these products carefully and you should probably also speak with a doctor before trying the hCG diet to see if it is right for you.

hCG Drops

One of the ways that hCG dieters are getting their intake of hCG is through hCG drops. Some of these products are available over the Internet. You should of course shop around first and have a good understanding of the available hCG drops products before making a purchase. You should also consider reading hCG reviews online for the products before purchasing.

hCG Diet Recipes

There are no specific foods that you have to stay away from when on a hCG diet, you just have to consume less than 500 calories per day. So you should try to eat things that are very filling, but have a few calories. You should search online for low calorie diet recipes and low calorie foods to get a good idea of foods that would be best to eat while on the hCG diet.

hCG Diet Dangers

You should always talk to your doctor first before starting such a diet. It is important to understand any dangers that their may be in a low calorie diet and with the use of hCG. So, it is always a great idea to talk to your doctor about your diet choices and if the hCG diet is right for you.

hCG Diet Reviews

As with any product, diet, or purchase, it is a great idea to read reviews online before trying something. The hCG diet is a relatively controversial diet. So you should understand the view points of both sides and then decide for yourself if it is right for you and after talking with a doctor.

Paleo Diet

The Paleo diet (or Paleolithic diet) is a diet where you eat foods that people ate during the Paleolithic era. Because of this, it is often called the “caveman diet” or the “stone age diet”. The foods that were consumed during the Paleolithic era are things like fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and organic meats. Foods that aren’t allowed on this diet are things like dairy products, grains, salt, and other heavily processed foods. To put it simply, it is simply natural food that can be found in the environment, and not something that you buy in a package in a store.

Here is a list of foods that are allowed on the diet:

Fish
Meat
Vegetables
Fruit
Nuts
Eggs

Food that are not allowed on the Paleo diet include:

Dairy
Grains
Salt
Sugar
Beans

The diet was first popularized by Walter Veoglin, a gastroenterologist. Since then there have been several books and scientific studies done on the Paleo diet.

For a more detailed analysis about this diet and the ratios of each food groups you should be eating on this diet, you should read this study (PDF). The papers is written by Professor Lorean Cordain and is extremely informative and helpful. According to the paper the diet also has numerous health benefits including the reduced risk of different chronic diseases.The results of this analysis demonstrate that it is entirely possible to consume a nutritionally balanced diet from commonly available contemporary foods that emulate the food types available to Paleolithic hunter gatherers. Despite the elimination of two major food groups (dairy and cereals), the trace nutrient density of the diet remains exceptionally high. Moreover, the diet maintains numerous nutritional characteristics that have been demonstrated to reduce the risk of a variety of chronic diseases.

Not everybody is a huge fan of the Paleo diet though. According to the National Health Service of the UK, it may just be a fad diet. Other critics have said that there isn’t enough evidence to support some of the claims the diet makes. Dispite this though, the Paleo diet continues to be one of the most popular and widely adobpted diets out there today.

Here are a few really good Youtube videos about the Paleo diet:
