My Story (Guest Post by the Author)

As a physician, I couldn’t understand why I allowed myself to become overweight. In my training I learned all about nutrition and health, yet I chose to ignore these benchmarks. I felt tired, fatigued, and short of breath all the time. My blood pressure was up and my blood sugars were on the borderline. I also felt embarrassed and vulnerable.

I tried multiple times to lose weight but I couldn’t keep it off. Intuitively I knew that in order to be successful I had to change the very fabric of my life... and that is what I did.

I looked deep inside and found the courage to face the real issues that were making me use food for comfort. I had always been a perfectionist and afraid to fail. Now with lack of time and working very long hours I was always afraid that I would not meet the expectations that I had placed on myself; not the ones that others placed on me which were far more lenient. I always tried to be all things to all people because I wanted people to like me. I realized, however, that I could not live like that and that I had to learn to accept good or good enough. I had to do my best and be satisfied with that.

Learning not to be perfect was no easy task, but I realized that I had to take it in spurts. First thing was to find a way to make more time for my family and for myself so that I could lessen the burden of never having enough time. We need to slow down; making more money is not worth missing the treasure of watching your kids grow up. Relieving the pressure of time allowed me to accept giving things my best effort and not pushing to be my definition of the best. I took a while but I learned that my best was far more than what was really needed and existed only in my mind. I still have my moments, but I can reason with myself now…and I listen!

Controlling my perfectionism also allowed me to understand that I will never be able to please everyone and that, as long as I do my best, I will help many. It felt like a boulder was taken off my shoulders and I am in a better place now to fight off the stresses that invariably come in life…but not with food.

You see what I now realize is that I had to go through being overweight and sick in order to understand why it happens in the first place, even to a doctor. No one is immune to this even if they think they are.

Later, after I had lost the weight I was looking for an explanation as to why I gained so much weight and, more importantly, why I was able to keep it off this time. I realized that it wasn’t about the eating at all; it was about the reasons why I was overeating. Now don’t get me wrong, I worked at it and I changed my diet as well as exercise, but in the past that wasn’t enough to keep it off. This time I found the root causes and I fixed them. It was then that I discovered the Cycle of Obesity. 

I understood the cycle when one day I was in my office and I started writing down the different culprits that I thought made me obese. I searched deep inside myself, almost painfully to find them, but what emerged was something that made intuitive sense. The anxiety, the depression, and the guilt all came together in a cycle that was treated with food. The cycle is easy to follow and anyone can identify with it at first glance if they are struggling with their weight.

It wasn’t until a year later that I was able to really identify the root causes that put us in the cycle in the first place. What helped me with this was taking care of so many patients with the same problem that I had and empathizing with them every step of the way. More time passed until I gathered enough insight to find solutions to all the root causes and put it all together with the cycle to help others with it.

Discovering this cycle also led me to discover my newest cycle, which is the cycle of success. This cycle is a roadmap to achieving success in setting goals.  What I found is that these two cycles are intimately connected and explain why sometimes we get complaisant and ultimately fail to keep our goals.

I have used both of these ideas with many of my patients with great success. Despite diets and/or surgery, if you don’t eliminate the root causes, the weight will come back. I know that the weight can be conquered...I am living proof.

HCG For Lasting Weight Loss

So how are those New Year's resolutions coming?  A good share of us say that we are going to lose weight in the new year, and within days, we fall of the wagon and decide it's more trouble than what it's worth.  And unfortunately, the older we get, the harder it becomes to lose weight.  Consider for a moment a possible solution to this weight issue.  HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a naturally occurring hormone that can help you lose weight and keep it off.  It has been christened the "pregnancy hormone" since it dramatically increases in amount within a woman's body when she is pregnant.  Its purpose is to quickly turn stored fat into energy for both the mother and growing baby.  It is completely safe, and it will never make your body think you are pregnant.

Following a starvation diet is never the way to go.  When you starve yourself, your body actually holds onto that fat and makes it harder to lose weight.  If you combine a low-calorie diet with a healthy exercise routine and a sensible sleeping schedule, HCG will target those stubborn fat areas (especially in the middle) and cause them to melt away.  It will leave the structural fat and muscle tissue alone.  Don't give up on your resolutions.  Just get the help you need with HCG.

HCG Can Help Your New Year's Resolution

Now that it is officially January, a good share of us are making those famous resolutions that include losing weight.  It is sometimes difficult to find a plan that can get you going, but I happen to know of something that can give you a good boost in the right direction.  I invite you to check out hcg (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) because it just might be the thing to help you jump start your healthy New Year's resolutions.  Never heard of this before?  Read on, and you just might think about talking to your doctor about it.

HCG, often referred to as the "pregnancy hormone," is a safe and effective naturally-produced hormone that is able to treat a variety of medical conditions.  Because it is so prevalent in woman's body during pregnancy, her body is able to quickly convert stored fat into needed energy for the mom and the growing baby.  Thankfully, this hormone is safe for use in both men and women, and it never tricks the body into thinking it is pregnant.

When combined with a low-calorie, exercise-laden diet plan, your body can effectively burn stored fat.  Your muscle and structural fat is untouched, but the fat from your hips, middle, and other stubborn areas will be targeted by hcg.  It turns this fat into fuel, and you will not feel as hungry nor lack energy as long as you stick to your healthy diet and get plenty of rest.

Helping You Lose Weight Naturally: HCG

As a former obese woman, I know that losing weight can be something that is not often easy to do.  Many people are looking for the "magic cure" to help them lose weight, but we soon realize that magic like this doesn't exist.  There is nothing like eating healthily and exercising regularly, but sometimes your body needs a little push in the right direction.  HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is something that can help you get over this hurdle and lose your excess weight.  This naturally occurring hormone is often referred to as the pregnancy hormone since it doubles every two days when a woman if pregnant.  It helps the body metabolize stored body fat so that the mom and baby will have energy and food whenever needed.  It never tricks your body into thinking you're pregnant, so it is safe for both men and women.

HCG will help you lose the weight that you have been struggling to use.  Think about your problem areas where fat is stored. When other things have not worked for you, HCG may be the very thing you can use to help you get rid of this extra weight you are carrying with you.  It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any kind of diet program so that you know whether this is a good fit for you and your situation.  Your doctor can advise you also concerning the diet and exercise plan you should use with HCG for the best possible results.  Don't expect to see results without putting forth some hard work.

So if you are looking for something to aid you in losing stubborn fat, ask your doctor about HCG.  It may be the answer to your slimming down your problem areas while keeping your muscle mass and necessary fat intact.

HCG For a Good Start to a Healthy Lifestyle

It's hard to think about losing weight and eating healthily during the holidays, but as you well know, procrastination and good health do not go hand in hand.  HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a hormone that is produced naturally in the human body. While it can be used in a variety of medical situations, it is often referred to as the pregnancy hormone.  When a woman is pregnant, this particular hormone doubles every two days.  Its purpose is to feed the growing baby (and the mother) with metabolized fat that has been stored in the body.  It can easily convert this body fat at a moment's notice, and for weight loss, it is absolutely ideal.  Only a small amount is used in weight loss, and it is equally safe to be used in both men and women.  Even though it is the "pregnancy hormone," it never imitates pregnancy.

As humans get older, it does often become harder and harder to lose weight.  Our problem areas tend to want to hold onto the fat and not easily release it.  Some people will try starvation diets which have the opposite effect.  Your body will work harder and harder to keep the stored fat due to its desire to preserve itself.  Starvation makes your body think it needs to go into survival mode.  Other people turn to diet pills, fad diets, and even surgery.  Many of these may work, but their success rate is not generally lasting.

HCG is one of those methods that works well with a low-calorie diet and sensible exercise plan for optimal weight loss.  It efficiently sends word to your hypothalamus to get the stubborn fat from your trouble spots and turn it into energy.  There are potentially thousands of calories that have been stored in your body and and not available for use until HCG releases it.  You will not run out of energy nor feel hungry as long as you are getting plenty of rest and metabolizing stored fat.  And this will assure that your structural fat and muscle tissue are untouched by HCG.
