What is the hCG Diet?
What is hCG?
Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, or hCG, is a hormone naturally occurring in the urine of pregnant women. hCG is said “to perform a metabolic recovery, where the hypothyroid it seems is reset, boosting the metabolism and increasing the person’s ability to burn the bad fat at a much higher rate. hCG itself is also said to break down body fat, causing rapid weight loss by mass even before registering on a scale. Simultaneously, hCG seems to protect the endogenous good structural and reserve fat and muscle which the body needs to stay healthy avoiding the sagging and loose skin seen with non-hCG induced weight loss.
How does hCG Work?
Most calorie counters know that one pound of fat is equivalent to 3,500 calories. Jogging one mile burns about 100 calories. If you're 50 pounds overweight, you'd need to jog from San Francisco to Dallas (1,750 miles) to mathematically burn 50 pounds. However, if weight lost were that easy, many more Americans would be jogging from coast to coast.
Many Americans work out regularly and burn the calories but can't seem to lose the weight. The reason why? They are burning the wrong calories.
To explain, there are three types of fats in the human body:
Structural fat: this fills the gaps between organs and acts as a sort of "packing material" for the body.
Normal reserves: the body draws upon this fat when nutritional intake is less than what the body demands.
Abnormal fat: excessive accumulations of fixed deposits of fat throughout the body that cause obesity. The body is unable to draw on this fat except in emergencies such as starvation.
When exercising or restricting food intake, the body relies on and consumes the normal fat reserves. The body cannot access the abnormal fat accumulations unless it is starving. The use of the hCG hormone apprears to release the abnormal fat deposits and make that fat available for consumption by the body.
Patients on our hCG program lose about one half to one pound per day. Because the hCG hormone makes the abnormal fat available for use, the body begin to live off that fat – the fat provides a source of energy, just as food does. Patients are instructed to reduce dietary intake to 500 calories per day, however, hunger is minimized because up to 3,500 additional calories are released each day from the abnormal fat stores with hCG use. The results: patients lose an average of about one half (women) to one pound (men) per day while using the hCG hormone and diet. I personally lost 14 pounds in less than 2 weeks and had to quit the protocol early and have continued to loose weight on the maintence program and my wife lost 30 pounds in 40 days!

Here are some of the medical concerns that would most likely prevent a physician from prescribing hCG for weight loss:
• If you experience allergic reactions to other substrates
• a thyroid or adrenal gland disorder
• an ovarian cyst
• cancer or a tumor of the breast, ovary, uterus, prostate, hypothalamus, or pituitary gland
• undiagnosed uterine bleeding
• heart disease
• kidney disease
• epilepsy
• migraines
• asthma
• breast feeding
This is why you should NEVER EVER buy hCG off an internet site and do the program without physician supervision. As with any medical weight loss program, you must be supervised by a trained weight loss physician.
