HCG Weight Loss Procedure

November 2, 2010 in Uncategorized with 0 Comments

Human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone produced by pregnant women. Usually referred to as HCG, it performs several important functions is the health and development of the unborn fetus. HCG is the primary marker that is tested for as an early indication of pregnancy. It has been discovered that HCG also has some other very wonderful actions in the human body in terms of weight loss. It is these properties that we will explore briefly in this little article.

It is a well known phenomenon that obese women can and often do lose weight during their pregnancy. In the past, the mechanics of this weight loss was unknown. However, since the advent of modern medicine it has been understood that the HCG somehow activates adipose fat and either burns it off, or redistributes it throughout the body. This loss or redistribution dramatically reshapes the body especially in the ‘trouble areas’ such as hips and buttocks.

In the 1950′s a British endocrinologist by the name of Dr. Simeons experimented with HCG injections to assist obese patients with their weight loss. He discovered that low dose HCG injections coupled with a very low calorie diet caused extreme and swift weight loss. The more obese the patient, the more dramatic the weight loss. Using trial and error he finally established his HCG weight loss protocol which is unchanged today. Patients are put on a regimen of injections for between 23 and 45 days. During this time the their diet is carefully controlled at about 500 calories and with very specific foods. No oil is allowed either in the diet or even topically on the skin. The patents typically lose 1 pound of adipose fat per day making for some amazing changes and results. This rapid loss of the most unsightly fat encourages the patients to stay on the program.

For those who are looking to lose substantial amounts of weight, HCG can be a real life saver. Not only is general health improved, but other common side effects of weight loss are virtually non-exsistant. Muscle is spared. No major surgery, and in the scheme of things, relatively cheap.
