HCG is not some artificial appetite suppressant. It is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a peptide hormone naturally produced by the body in pregnancy. However, it does more than that. HCG also enables the body to access all of the mother's stored fat supply and give the developing fetus a constant nutrient supply. This explains how women who are undernourished still have healthy babies despite getting very little food.
HCG helps the body mobilize and burn its fat stores, no matter where they are stored--and it works that way in men and women, pregnant or not. That is the key to the HCG diet.
To understand why the HCG diet works so well (and why other diet methods nearly always fail) we have to understand the difference between the various types of fat in the body and we must also know how to best target
the unwanted type


The use of HCG injections in the treatment of obesity was first discovered by the late British Physician, Dr. A. T. W. Simeons.
Dr. Simeons first published a report on the topic in 1954, while practicing in Rome, Italy. He devoted years to researching various patients suffering from obesity. During this time, Simeons noticed several important factors including the lack of symptoms one would expect from a patient on a very low calorie diet. For example, his patients had no headaches, hunger pains, weakness, or irritability as long as the low calorie diet was combined with HCG. Dr. Simeons HCG diet is simple in nature.
The HCG basic diet consists of an HCG shot and a total of 500 calories a day. The most successful people average about 1 lb of weight loss per day. Although there is controversy on health issues consuming such a small amount of food and losing that much weight so quickly, itis completely safe as you are finally using your fat stores.
While taking the shots the HGC breaks up and mobilizes the fat pockets on your body and burns that fat for energy. Because you maintain a low 500 calorie diet and have zero fat intake, you keep your body at minimum food production and this forces your body to burn the fat pockets instead for energy. Therefore, the fat burning process combined with the water amount you drink creates the energy levels you experience during the process.
