Hcg Diet
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...Hcg diet stands for Human Choriogonadotropin, the hormone produced by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. Research suggests a small, daily hCG injection (approx. 125 IU to 200 IU) results in a weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs per day, and often more, when accompanied by a VLCD (very low calorie diet of apprx 500 calories). Thousands of people have used this diet treatment program.
According to MSNBC, health risks involved with gastric bypass surgery are very often downplayed. Having a difficult time going without conditioner, lotion and chapstick? MSNBC have compiled a short list of products that can be used on the hCG diet.
HCG is an acronym for the hormone Human Chorio Gonadotropin, which is found in both men and women, though pregnant women have the highest levels of HCG in their bodies. HCG injections or supplements are typically given to women who need help ovulating and to men who want to increase their sperm count. A daily HCG injection is also one component of the controversial HCG diet plan.
The HCG hormone can be made synthetically or extracted from a pregnant woman’s urine and then processed for use by other humans. The HCG diet shots are said to benefit both men and women similarly, though experts don’t recommend that women get the injections if they are already pregnant or nursing, and thus already have elevated HCG levels.
