The days are getting longer and the skies are starting to clear overhead. But it will take more than that to drag me down to the beach and flaunt my over-sized beer-belly. And as hard as I try, I just can\'t seem to lose those excess pounds.For a long time obesity has been treated as a disorder of eating behavior, or poor self control. It is now understood that obesity is actually caused by an imbalance of your bodies hormones. Losing weight is always a great challenge and people that want to lose weight go through a lot of struggles and difficulties before they can effectively lose weight and maintain healthy weight. For some of us it is almost an impossible task. When your hypothalamus is overwhelmed by excess energy intake it turns off its normal process of storing energy reserves in the form of \'normal\' fat storage, and begins banking this energy in an \'abnormal\' form of fat. This is your typical \'problem\' areas, such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs and buttocks. If you have been trying various fast diets in an effort to lose weight fast, subjecting yourself through rigorous training schedules yet without any results, don\'t worry, a new solution is at hand: A new, effective crash diet program called the HCG Diet. HCG is able to safely alter the body\'s fat-storing process so you begin to break down this \"abnormal\" fat storage and sculpt your body while you lose weight. Imagine a diet where you keep your desired lean muscle mass, and only lose the unsightly fat. The HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) weight loss program (also known as the Hormone diet) consists of a very low calorie diet accompanied by treatments of HCG. The average HCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day, most aim to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the HCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter\'s relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss. The calorie intake on the diet is only 500 calories per day, but despite this fact you feel full of energy and amazingly not feel hungry. This is because your body is breaking down a pound of fat yielding approximately 3500 calories to provide you with plenty of energy. Most patients report an elevated mood while on this diet. Where I live in South Florida one of the main forces behind the HCG diet is Dr. Dr Bo Rosenblat. Dr. Bo (as he likes to be called) is a nationally recognized physician, and the medical director of a busy Emergency Department. Dr Bo has written articles on numerous medical topics for online medical websites as well as publication for scientific journals. He had this to say about the HCG diet; \'After many years of practice it became evident that obesity is a major contributor to many disease processes such as diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, heart disease and back pain. Many healthcare professionals were unable to give their patients adequate help in achieving their health goals through proper diet and exercise and most doctors would simply tell their patients that they had to lose weight without giving them the proper tools to do so.\' Realizing that many of the patients he encountered would benefit tremendously from weight loss, Dr Bo began investigating the existing diet programs. Many of these diet programs were prohibitively expensive, or required medications that were dangerous and potentially addictive. After extensive research, he came across the HCG diet program developed by Dr Simeon. It was an optimal program for several reasons. It combined rapid results, safe medications, behavioral modification to improve longevity, and the ability to offer a solution to patients that was affordable. After some minor modifications, Dr Bo began to slowly place his patients on the program. The results were truly remarkable and within a short period of time the program grew exponentially, simply by word of mouth referrals from successful patients. Dr. Bo continues, \'One of the problems with many of the fad weight loss programs is that they give you false hope by making you lose your body\'s water content giving you the impression of drastic weight loss. It is very easy to gain back your body\'s water content and gain your weight once again. So people get disappointed with the results and end up gaining more weight than before. With our HCG diet program you will not face all such problems. You can actually lose weight by following our diet program. Though it is a fast, crash diet, the weight loss here is of lasting nature. You will not have to worry about bouncing back to your earlier weight.\' Not only is the HCG weigh loss programs one of the most effective and the safest weight loss programs available today, it is also surprisingly very cheap when compared to many other weight loss programs and diets. Dr. Bo showed me a price comparison between several diets and I was amazed at how little the HCG diet could be between half the price or even a tenth of the price of other popular diets and programs.So, with one hand holding my love handles and another on my wallet, I think I could be paying a visit to Dr. Bo before this summer comes then I\'ll see you on the beach!
