When it comes to weight loss, there are a host of diet options available, but it’s often difficult to determine how they work, and if they’re really effective. The HCG weight loss program is a diet plan that promises great results in a short time, but how exactly does HCG weight loss work.
What is HCG weight loss?
HCG weight loss is a diet plan that achieves weight loss by incorporating a low calorie eating plan alongside HCG injections. HCG or human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone that is produced during pregnancy.
How Does HCG Weight Loss Work?
The HCG weight loss plan is designed to help patients lose weight safely. Patients are medically supervised for the duration of the programme, which typically lasts for 40 days. Most patients lose about 20 pounds on the HCG diet.
HCG assists with weight loss because it suppresses hunger, making it easier to keep to the low calorie requirements of the diet.
Patients on the programme are given an HCG injection each day. The HCG injection triggers the release of stored fat in the body, which is then utilized by the body for fuel.
The HCG diet targets abnormal or excess body fat rather than essential fat. Excess fat is the amount that is over and above what the body needs for protection, and for fuel. Non-essential fat is usually stored in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and hips. The HCG diet also spares muscle tissue.
