Is it healthy to lose 1 pound a day with HCG shots?
The HCG diet was pioneered in 1950 by Dr Simeons. HCG weight loss studies have shown that weight lost following the Simeons protocol comes directly from adipose fat tissue rather than lean muscle. In doing so, the weight lost comes from excess fat and does not strip the body of much needed muscle, vitamins or minerals essential to maintain good health. It also protects the essential fat between your organs and in your muscles and brain. Nutrients stored in the fat are also released back into the blood stream. HCG dieters often report a feeling of improved health and little or no hunger during the diet because of this effect.
