Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) is a hormone which is found in the body during pregnancy and has an effect on the hypothalamus of the brain. A low dose of HCG causes the body to utilize excessive abnormal fat as the energy source for the body, thus resulting in weight loss.
You should expect to lose between 15 and 35 pounds per course of treatment, providing you follow the diet as directed. Talk with your doctor or a pharmacist at The Lime in the Coconut to determine the course of treatment that is best for you.
Because this is a hormone found in pregnant women, it is just for females?
No, HCG is for males and females. It will not cause male feminization and will in no way interfere with his sex. In fact, males typically lose weight quicker than females with this hormone.
How does the HCG Diet work?
HCG is administered in the form of a nasal spray or an injection, following a 26 or 40 day schedule. Coupled with a non carbohydrate diet of 500 calories daily, dramatic weight loss has been accomplished by allowing the abnormal fat cells to be released and circulated through the blood stream for metabolism.
How will you not be exhausted and starving following a 500 calorie diet? HCG allows abnormal fat cells to leave the storage area and to circulate in the blood stream for metabolism. Because of this, your body is getting energy from those cells that have been stored in your body. It seems that HCG brings about this continued saturation of the blood, which is the reason why obese and overweight patients under treatment with HCG never feel hungry or tired in spite of their drastially reduced food intake.
Upon completion of your course of HCG, you will follow the same 500 calorie diet for 3 days following the last spray or injection. Afterword, you are to follow a healthy diet, avoiding sugars and starches, and you should keep a bathroom scale on hand to monitor your weight.
