HCG means Human Chorionic Gonadatrophin. This is a hormone females produce during pregnancy.
HCG was first used for weight loss by a physician( Dr. Simeon) in the 1950's which has now become popular again.
This is a highly scientific process that must be followed exactly as Dr. Simeon describes in his literature. Deviating from the diet will result in poor results.
Types of HCG:
HCG can be given through injection, cream or sublingual (under toungue). We use sublingual in our practice because it seems to give us the best results in comparison with other doctors using injections and creams. The HCG we use is amongst the best on the market in sublingual form.
Some believe that sublingual HCG is not real HCG and will not work but ours is make of pure HCG, the weight loss from our patients solely speaks for itself.
It is taken three times a day and can be taken with you wherever you go, unlike injections which must be kept refrigerated or will ruin, not to mention injecting yourself everyday.
How does HCG Weightloss Work?
HCG works by tricking the body to thinking it is pregnant (works on men as well). It targets belly, thigh and hip fat by utilizing fat cells as a source of energy for the body that thinks it is pregnant.
Everyone must follow a strict 500 calorie/day diet which is obviously not enough energy to sustain you but, when the body takes in HCG it uses energy from the fat cells to keep the body functioning, the end result is fat loss. If one does not utilize HCG on the low calorie diet then the body will burn into muscle for energy which is not what we want to occur. HCG also helps curb appetite making this process easier.
