How the HCG Weight Loss Protocol Works

What is the HCG Diet?

The hCG weight loss protocol combines a very low calorie diet (VLCD) with daily injections of hCG hormone in minute amounts (125-200 IU's). Depending on how much the client wants to lose, the protocol lasts from 23-40 days. The average hCG dieter experiences rapid fat loss, averaging 1 to 2 pounds per day.

In addition to the loss of unwanted fat, the hCG weight loss protocol helps the body recognize a new "set point" or normal weight. A healthy diet is maintained for 3 weeks following the end of the protocol to allow the body to readjust to it's new slimmer frame and see it as it's normal weight. The hCG weight loss protocol will also aid the individual in making better food choices and creating healthier habits.

The result is a lifestyle change that enables the dieter to look and feel better, as well as maintain long-term weight loss.
