hypothalamus gland and weight loss

[greenwoman]

There is a guy on tv claiming a "cure " for weight loss, claiming that there is a substance that can reset your hypothalamus gland. I think that this is a load of garbage, based on very vague information, and this guy is trying to sell books! Have you any information about what the hypothalamus gland actually does? Thanks!!

I just finished my first month on the oral HCG called Releana. I lost 20 pounds.   The first 2 weeks were a little tough as I still got hungry.  The hunger significantly decreased in the third week and I even forgot to eat my fruit servings a few times.  I only had leg cramps once, but my Doctor reminded me that I need to drink 10 glasses of no-calorie fluids per day, and if I keep track and do this, I have no problems.  I feel good, no side effects, occasional will-power struggle, but I seem to be making it through ok.  I just started my second month.  Will let you know if I lose 20 more pounds.

Well I bought the book as well and honestly everything that Kevin talks about in the book that the FDA is putting in our food all makes sense. Think about it the Us is claiming that we should watch our calories and carbs, but yet here we are still getting fatter and fatter. But 30 years ago when our country was still relying on food the we grew in our own backyards and people weren't using cars but walking more. They stayed thinner and leaner. The FDA wants us to stay getting fatter and fatter only so they can make money off of us. We wouldn't be buying as much food or buying the new and latest crave on the diet pill or exercise equipment if we just eat all organincaly grown food like they did 30 or even 50 years ago. Our goverment is a load of bull when they say they "want to Help" with the epidmic. The goverment is getting there fair share of money that people use to buy pills and have surgies.

HCG stands for "Human Chorionic Gonadotropin".  It is a peptide hormone produced by the embryo after conception and later by the placenta.  It somehow keeps the progesterone level up... and that's why some people are now using it for weightloss (even though the FDA hasn't officially approved it for such things).  I think one thing, possibly, that holds the FDA back is the fact that HCG production is used as a "tumor marker" when testing for Cancer.  It's not proven yet if HCG can actually CAUSE cancer when injected into the body, nor has it been proven that it can't.  
It's an interesting study.
