HCG Homeopathic Drops - The Way Forward For The Overweight?

As we approach the end of the year, many women and indeed men start to think about their waistlines. Not just the rapidly expanding girth but methods to try and get rid of it. This New Year, they promise, they will lose those extra pounds. It is no coincidence that the fitness industry is gearing up for the new year with all the usual blandishments and discounts.

Unfortunately many or probably most people do not stick with the fitness regime they promised themselves and by the spring, the gyms are emptying themselves of those spirited folks who started going three or four times a week in January and have now given up the ghost. They are nowhere to be seen.

Why is this? Is it just stamina or boredom or a combination? Many people it is true seem to expect overnight results and in these days of instant gratification they just do not seem to appreciate that it can be boring and it can take a long time to shift the weight. They are just not prepared for the long haul and before you know it, they are eating and drinking as before and any inroads they may have made into the waistline are forgotten until the end of the year when the whole cycle starts again.

There are so many diets and exercise regimes, Dukan, grapefruit, cabbage, aerobics, yoga, zumba, you name it someone somewhere is embarking on it as I write. But will they keep at it? A percentage will, but it's probably a low percentage.

Many people do expect miracles and are easily disappointed. The fact that the simplest way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more seems to pass them by. The fact is that it is not easy to eat less, assailed as we are by product advertising, fast food outlets and "quality" ready meals from the supermarkets. In the recessionary times we live in, restaurant takings are in fact going down and many restaurateurs are struggling, but the ready meal market is booming, particularly at the quality end. We are not eating less, we are just eating it indoors and spending less.

Obesity is increasing rapidly and the sight of an overweight couple with their overweight children is no longer a rare sight, in fact it is now so common in some places, it is becoming the norm.

So what can be done? It is difficult to come to any firm conclusions and I am no expert. There are alternatives but they still demand effort. There are some homeopathic solutions that are very popular at the moment although whether you use them or not will depend on your thoughts on homeopathy. It is an alternative treatment that appears to have stood the test of time. HCG Homeopathic drops have been available now for a relatively short period of time but seem for many to be the answer to their obesity or weight problems. There have been some remarkable results recorded. Whether you are prepared to try them depends to some extent on your views on homeopathy.

Homeopathic HCG drops are taken daily for a short time although you can return to them after a break. They are supposed to work in a similar way to traditional HCG which is taken by way of injection so homeopathy is a gentler approach. Similar results appear to have been recorded using both types and for many the ease of use and cheaper prices of homeopathic HCG seem to be winning for many in the obesity stakes at the moment.

Obesity Is Not Only Killing America

People are getting fatter in all corners of the world. The World Health Organization predicts there will be 2.3 billion overweight adults and over 700 million obese adults in the world by the year 2015. This epidemic is a modern day disaster. Fifty years ago, statistical data wasn't kept about this deadly disease. Most everyone identifies the burgeoning world wide fast food industry as the number one culprit of this crisis. However true, sedentary professions, stressful jobs, lack of exercise and the convenience of motorized vehicles also contribute to the far reaching problem. Most disturbing are the recent trends and current statistics showing how obesity has rampantly spread to our children. Obesity experts are alarmed by studies suggesting obesity runs in families suggesting a possible genetic link between individuals and obesity.

Keep in mind; obesity in families may also be attributed to family members sharing common dietary and lifestyle habits as well as similar attitudes toward exercise and physical regimens. Parents have a strong influence over the children they raise. They directly affect the shopping habits of their kids as well as their personal hygiene and self esteem. Recent trends show that obese children and adolescents frequently grow up to be obese adults. This trait is one we should not pass on to the next generation.

Our environment can also affect the outrageous obesity rate. Would you believe me if I told you air conditioning can contribute to obesity? Second to lack of sleep, cooled air and a comfortable temperature encourages an individual to eat more food. Research has shown that persons placed in inclement environments tend to eat much less. Graphical data points between obesity rate and air conditioning usage illustrates the correlation between the spread of air conditioning across the world and the rise of obesity. Sleep doctors hypothesize, a lack of sleep severely jolts the body's metabolic system, expending greater amounts of instant energy.

University of Chicago researcher Esra Tasali notes that waistlines in modern societies started to expand as people started to sleep less. Nowadays, the 'sleep deficit' is two hours per night compared with 40 years ago. Over time society has become educated and made increasingly aware of the addictive dangers of smoking, taking drugs and drinking alcohol. Recent studies confirm individuals who give up any one of the aforementioned addictions will often gain weight immediately afterward. Legal and illicit drugs produce chemical stimulation to the body triggering an addictive effect. Such stimulation can also block unpleasant feelings and people suffering from addictive eating disorders use chemical stimulation to curb unbearable urges of hunger. The fastest way to defeat any disorder is to recognize the addiction and get the appropriate help.

Obesity: The Triumph of the Sextraverts

Overweight is not simply a matter of what you eat, and how much exercise you take, it's also closely linked with your personality. Some people are extraverts, which means that by nature they're lively souls programmed to spend their days in a constant hunt for excitement and pleasure in their immediate physical and social environment. At the opposite end of the behavioural spectrum are the introverts, who tend to shy away from social contacts and allow themselves to be preoccupied with their own private thoughts. These emotional differences play a major role in weight control. This was revealed in a study carried out at the Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, which compared the sex lives of matched groups of fat and slim married women. The results showed that 'in terms of erotic readiness and general sexual excitability' the fat women were nearly twice as sensuous as their slim counterparts. 'These women obviously weren't overeating instead of having sex,' the researchers concluded, 'their craving for both food and sex exists almost simultaneously.'

It's good to have a lust for life and be the life and soul of the party. One small snag is that extroversion trends to be linked with substance abuse and addictive behaviour. This means that if you're an outgoing type, you'll probably find it easier to be hooked on food and drink. That drawback can be overcome by taking firm control of your social and physical environment. Make sure that when you look around to find some way of tickling the pleasure centres of your brain you'll see a skipping rope rather than a tempting plate of chocolate biscuits. If you want to stop for a jovial chat with your colleagues at work, make a point of meeting them on the stairs rather than in the lift. And when you select your chums and lifetime partners, do your best to choose subjects who are slim rather than overweight. In that way you'll be more likely to take your evening entertainment in a bowling alley rather than a pizza parlour.

And keep taking the erotic medicine. Sexual intercourse is an energetic occupation, whether it's a vigorous romp in the hay or a few minutes refined coupling in the marital bed. Metabolic studies show that on average it uses up about 200 calories, which makes it as energetic as half an hour's jogging. So don't let your passions die when you settle down in a long term relationship. A poll carried out by researchers at Loughborough University found that married couples were far less likely to take the recommended daily level of physical activity than those living on their own. As a result married couples are twice as likely to be obese as their single counterparts. This fact has been put to practical use by dairy farmers, who have restricted the sexual activity of their heifers by fitting them with 'Wei-Gro' vaginal inserts. The insertion of these plastic chastity belts has led to an an acceleration of up to a quarter in the rate at which they gained weight.

Ursula Andress, the Swiss bombshell whose dramatic emergence from the Caribbean sea in Dr No, wearing only a skimpy white bikini with a sheath knife tied around her waist, was voted number one in the 'World's Sexy Moments'. Some years later, when she was asked how she maintained her sylph like figure, the still svelte star replied 'Loving keeps me slim.' That surely must be a more enjoyable was of keeping slim than pumping iron or running marathons.
