The hCG Weight Loss Protocol
hCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. hCG is naturally produced in the body and is viewed to be a very safe medication to be used mainly for fertility, and other hormonal issues. hCG is usually produced at extremely high levels in women during pregnancy without bad or negative affects and is its primary function is to protect the fetus by pulling needed nutrients from abnormal fat storage during pregnancy. When injected in smaller amounts in a non-pregnant state the hCG has the same effect on the body.
Our clinic currently offers two hCG Clinical Weight Loss Programs. During the protocol for each program, you are on a 500 calorie diet that consists of chicken, beef, veal, white fish, shrimp, crab, lobster, and an assortment of vegetables and fruits.
hCG causes your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of the fat storage locations so that it's available for use. While you are only consuming 500 calories, your hypothalamus is continually releasing the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually operating on thousands of calories a day. The result is your body using thousands of calories of fat from your body each day, and the reason hCG dieters lose 1 to 2 lbs of fat or more per day.*
hCG will also help to naturally reduce your appetite by mobilizing fat as an energy source. hCG is not known to interfere with any other medications and will rarely interfere with a woman's menstrual cycle. Independent studies have shown that people using HCG tend to feel better and therefore, were less irritable, coped better, and had their quality of sleep improve. So it is believed that the effect of the medication might benefit a person who is suffering these issues.
