What is the HCG Diet?
This program is based on Dr A.T.W. Simeons' years of research. The average HCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day.
What is HCG and how does it result in rapid weight loss?
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone present in both men and women, but which is produced in great amounts in pregnant females.
What is unique about the HCG Diet?
The hormone not only releases stored fat, it stimulates the production of collagen & elastin which results in a body sculpting effect. This can be an important consideration depending on your age and the amount of weight needed to lose.
While taking the hormone, thousands of calories in stored fat are released into your stomach every day.
The HCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet (VLCD) of specific foods, accompanied by treatments of HCG, whether oral drops, nasal spray or injections.
In addition to loss of stored fat, the true benefit of the HCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.
The HCG Diet plan has a 60-70% success rate several years after completion vs other diet plans which have a 90% failure rate! Per Dr. Simeons research the patients that completed the program only regained 10% of the original amount lost.
