Obesity is a growing problem in most of the world now and even those countries that traditionally saw reasonable health and fitness levels in their communities are now suffering increasing obesity levels. It is estimated that over a third of Americans are now classed as obese.

With obesity comes a whole host of other problems like hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and strokes. It is generally accepted that obese people have a shorter life span and many people are now waking up to the fact that they need to tackle their increasing weight problems and are looking to diet and exercise to help them lose weight.

There are numerous diets around and they tend to go in and out of fashion. Diets revolving around eating one food group like grapefruit were very popular a few years ago. There is however one diet that has stood the test of time and that is the hcg diet. It was originally discovered in the 1950s and it still exists today, although given it is a hormone produced by pregnant women, it could be argued that it has been around forever. The link between it and its potential use as a weight loss aid was discovered by a Dr Simeon and it is his plan upon which today's dieters pin their hopes.

In past times, hcg was available on prescription and only f rom doctors but all that changed recently with the introduction of homeopathic hcg of which hcg ultra is one of the leaders in the hcg market.

There are a number of outlets where you can buy hcg drops, but you should look to buy them online from a reputable seller with online security to protect your details.There is plenty of information online to help you with this.

Homeopathic hcg of which HCG ultra is one brand, is the modern alternative to the prescription based or what some call real hcg. Part of the issue around the older variant of hcg is the problem some people have both with getting the prescription and using it by way of needle injection. Some people just are not happy with that and homeopathic hcg is a more natural alternative.
