What is HCG?
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a natural hormone produced in large quantities during pregnancy to ensure proper nutrients to a developing baby. HCG is what triggers the hypothalamus to mobilize stored fat into the bloodstream to be used as "food". It is believed to reset your metabolism and to protect your body's good fat and keep muscle tissue from breaking down (which occurs in other low calorie diets without the use of HCG).
How long has HCG been used?
In the 1950's, Dr. ATW Simeons began using small doses of HCG in obese patients to decrease appetite and observed weight loss and decreased inches around hips, thighs, buttocks and stomach. It has continued to gain in popularity as a successful, natural approach to weight loss.
Will I feel hungry while using HCG?
Because HCG is mobilizing your stored fat, your body will be constantly fed by the broken down fat. Most people report a feeling of being satisfied while using HCG even though their actual food intake is only 500 calories.
Will my metabolism slow down if I'm on a very low calorie diet?
Normally, on a restricted diet our body stores fat and our metabolism slows down. This happens because our stored fat is our life-saving source of energy! When HCG is used with a low-calorie diet, the hormone signals the body to use the stored fat for energy, and eliminates excess fat reserves. The HCG keeps your body from going into starvation mode in which your metabolism would slow down in order to store up more fat.
Wouldn't I lose weight that fast if I was on a low-calorie diet anyway?
Because your body stores fat during deprivation, on just a low-calorie diet you will be losing muscle and bone before losing your stored fat. In the long run, you'll gain weight easier and decrease your bone density and muscle mass! By using HCG with a low-calorie diet, stored fat is used as energy and the rest is eliminated.
How can I only survive on 500 calories a day?
HCG releases 1500 to 4000 calories (from your stored fat) with the additional 500 calories that you are eating is equal to a 2000 to 4000 calorie diet which is why people do not feel hungry while on the HCG Diet.
How much weight can I lose per day?
1 to 2 pounds. However, the unofficial average is around 20 pounds per month. That's a little less than a pound a day.
Will I gain the weight back after the HCG diet?
After the HCG diet, you will find your appetite has changed, your eating behavior will be changed and your body will, of course, have changed. This is the perfect opportunity to adopt that healthy lifestyle to maintain your weight. You will find a minimum amount of exercise will be sufficient for maintaining a very healthy body. HCG reprograms your body to use stored fat for energy when calories are reduced for a period of time. It helps you maintain your weight and not regain the pounds you lost.
