Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a naturally occurring hormone-like substance found only during pregnancy, has been a known cure to obesity. Dr. Simeons discovered that by injecting HCG to his obese patients, they began losing at a rate of 1 to 2 pounds a day, when he combined the substance with a 500 calorie diet. This breakthrough brought about the development of HCG injections as a method for weight loss.
Dr. Simeons designed a weight loss treatment that would include daily HCG injections and a 500 calorie diet. You would think this to be an extreme diet, given that you are only limited to a 500 calorie diet a day. What could you eat, right? But what you don’t know is that this is possible.
Thorough observations have revealed that HCG not only burns off the bad fat found in the system, but also leaves you feeling full despite the 500 calorie diet. Moreover, since it only eliminates bad fat stored in the body, it leaves your healthy fat and muscle intact, unlike other diet treatments that burns off any kind of fat – good and bad.
In the past, HCG can only be administered through injections. This same method first used by Dr. Simeons to his obese patients, required the person involved to visit the HCG clinic daily for injections to be administered. Later on, however, people were allowed to administer their own injections upon the approval of their doctors.
HCG injections produced little or no tissue reaction on the skin. It is considered painless, as very fine needles are used to penetrate deep into the skin to reach the muscle. A 24-hour time interval between injections is recommended for HCG to work effectively.
Currently, HCG can be administered in several ways. The most popular of these developments is the HCG drops, which can be taken orally. With the availability of oral HCG, no more prescriptions were required and no more needles to worry about, just cheaper and accessible HCG to accompany weight loss.
Either way, the two methods provide the same results, as long as proper compliance to the diet is followed. And as long as you are in good condition for a 500 calorie diet, you are ready to start your HCG diet.
