HCG For Men?

More and more men are turning to homeopathic HCG to lose weight. While many still see “dieting” as a largely female pass time the experts are aware of the fact that this particular belief is based on myth; now more than ever.

When it comes to general health issues relate to weight…men have more to fear than their female counterparts. Men typically lean towards the apple shape (more so than females) that is more susceptible to negative health risks than other types of weight gain/fat storage. There are many types of increased health risks directly associated with abdominal fat.

Obese white males carry an increased aged between twenty and thirty years of age can expect to experience a life expectancy that is 13 years shorter than it would be if they were at a healthy weight. African American men in the same age bracket that are at an obese level can expect their life expectancy to be shortened by 20 years. These drastic numbers are a result of the tendency for males to store fat around their belly.

Two major consequences are the increased risk for both heart disease and type 2 diabetes; both risks increase drastically as a result of abdominal fat. Stress can exacerbate the issue as well. It increases the production of cortisol which is a hormone many believe increases the storage of fat in the abdomen.

Stereotypes will continue to keep a foothold in the weight loss industry. People will continue to see it as a women’s industry. But that won’t keep men from dieting. Experts say that they create a consistent number of the people dieting at any time and that number will probably continue to grow.

Men who turn to the homeopathic HCG diet benefit from higher average weight loss results than their female counterparts on the diet. While all dieters benefit from the average 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss per day…men make up the higher end of the weight loss averages.

I’m on the HCG Diet…Day 14

So Lisa and I are both really happy with the results we’re seeing through the use of the HCG diet renewal kit from HCG Diet Direct. (Lisa’s my dieting buddy if you haven’t been reading the past articles in the series). We’ve both lost a good amount of weight. And we’re pretty close when it comes to who has lost more…Lisa’s only behind a few pounds. That’s a very good thing for me because we’ve got a side bet going that I want to win!

Today I was volunteering in my son’s classroom and the PTA dropped off treats in “appreciation” of our service. They were humongous, iced sugar cookies. They looked so yummy. But I wouldn’t know if they were or not. Because I snuck mine into the desk of the first kid I walked by. Nice surprise for him, don’t you think?

That was the highlight of my dieting day. I’m so proud of myself; and rightly so! But it’s time to move on. Today I weighed in at one pound less than yesterday. I’m now at 159 pounds. Day 12 was one of my lowest HCG moments EVER so it’s not surprising that I only lost one pound even though on Day 13 I behaved very, very well.

Lisa says that the oral HCG stings a tiny bit when she takes it. I’ve never noticed that. I just thought I’d throw that in because it’s interesting. I took my HCG three times today as required and I also took my single dose of B-Total Sublingual. Gotta’ love that extra energy, right?

I had leftover chicken for lunch. I shredded it and put it on Melba Toasts with chopped tomatoes/onions. I really liked it. I had strawberries with it and I tried all day long to drink tons of water.

For dinner I decided that I needed to step away from chicken so I made steaks. It was a great night. Steak is my daughter’s favorite food. And my son really likes it as well. So we were all happy. They didn’t much like the asparagus that I paired with it and they got to have fresh french bread in comparison to my Melba Toasts. But we all liked the Mock Apple Cobbler that I put together afterwards.
