What Is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)?

Over the past few years the buzzword, “HCG” has been everywhere. It seems like everywhere you look there are tales of the HCG diet and how it has helped others to not only lose weight, but they apparently have lost it quickly and without exercise. But what is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and how the heck does it have anything to do with weight loss?

HCG is actually a protein hormone that the body naturally produces. When a woman becomes pregnant, the levels of HCG in her body elevates, causing the body’s metabolism to speed up in order to burn enough calories to sustain both baby and mom. In overweight and obese people, it is believed that a slightly elevated HCG level will work with the body to begin breaking down the large amounts of body fat and using it as the primary fuel source. This process has been shown to work best when the dieter is following a reduced calorie diet, in addition to consuming small amounts of the hormone. The elevated levels of the hormone in the body work well to trick the body into thinking that it is getting the calories it needs, even when calories are greatly diminished, allowing the body to burn excess fat quickly and without hunger.

Both HCG drops and HCG injections work to help people lose weight rapidly. Strangely, the hormone does not seem to care if the person taking it is male or female. It works the same way in both genders, so men can expect to enjoy the same effectiveness as women. It is not only 100% safe and chemical free, but dieters tend to keep the weight off once they lose it.
