What is the HCG weight loss regimen?
It consists of a very low, 500 calorie diet (VLCD) combined with thrice-daily homeopathic HCG hormone treatments. During the regimen, you regularly take a small amount of homeopathic HCG under your tongue. In his book “Pounds and Inches,” Dr. ATW Simeons discovered small amounts of HCG resets and adjusts the hypothalamus, the gland that controls metabolism and appetite. It essentially sends signals to your body to release abnormal fats stored around the hips, thighs, belly and upper arms, leaving so-called “structural fat” (found in the muscles and protects the organs) untouched. Because a pound of fat = 3,500 calories, the body is receiving much of its caloric needs via the metabolization of the fat. The additional 500 calories ingested as part of the VLCD diet ensures the body is receiving essential nutrients during the regimen.
