Compound exercises are ones that the body uses as many muscles as it can to execute the exercise. The best example is the squat! It is considered the King of all muscle-building exercises!

The popularity of the hCG diet has skyrocketed in recent years. This revolutionary weight loss program allows dieters to effortlessly lose up to a pound a day. It uses hormone therapy to help people restrict their calories without ever feeling hungry, deprived or drained of energy. Since the introduction of homeopathic hCG formulas, the plan can be successfully followed at home without the need to visit a weight loss clinic.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone that is naturally produced by pregnant women. It promotes the mobilization of fat from storage areas on the woman's body. Fatty acids released from cells in the hips, thighs and abdomen enter the bloodstream to be used as energy to support the growing fetus.

A series of experiments conducted by the British endocrinologist A. T. W. Simeon in the 1950s established the use of the hormone as an aid to weight loss. Daily injections allowed obese patients to quickly and easily lose weight on a very low calorie diet. These subjects reported that they experienced no hunger pains, irritability or fatigue while taking part in the weight loss regime.

The major drawback to the diet program as originally developed was the need for daily injections. Many people are reluctant to inject themselves and don't have the time to visit a clinic every morning. Even today, the injected form of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin requires a doctor's prescription.

The hCG hormone is now widely available in a homeopathic remedy. The liquid formula comes with a dropper to make it easy to measure a dose. A number of drops are placed under the tongue two to four times a day. Studies have shown that oral doses of the homeopathic formula are just as effective in assisting weight loss as injections of the hormone.

The hCG program helps the body to release stubborn fat for use as its primary source of fuel. Since there is always a ready supply of energy available in circulation, hunger signals are inhibited. Food is required mainly for the nutrients it contains, not for caloric energy. As a result, small healthy meals are entirely satisfying.

During the rapid weight loss phase of the diet, calories are limited to 500 per day. Lunch and dinner each consist of a 100 gram portion of chicken breast, fish or lean beef, a non-starchy vegetable, a portion of fruit and a small bread item. Food may be flavored with seasoning, herbs and lemon juice.

Using the homeopathic formula, it is possible to follow the diet plan at home without consulting a doctor. Dr. Simeon's original hCG protocol and the full text of his manuscript 'Pounds and Inches' are freely available online. Many popular easy to follow guides to the diet can be found at internet and conventional bookstores.
