What is hCG and how does it work?

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone produced by the body during pregnancy. Over fifty years ago, Dr. Simeons, a medical doctor searching for the answers to eliminate obesity, noticed that pregnant women eating a low calorie diet were having healthy and full-term babies. How could this be? He postulated that these women maintained their pregnancies by breaking down and mobilizing their own fat stores to deliver nutrients to the growing embryo.

So what does this have to do with weight loss? When given to non-pregnant women and men, injected HCG in small quantities mobilizes the bodies stored fat. When combined with a special anti-inflammatory diet, stored fat is easily broken down and eliminated by the body. This allows for fast weight loss while maintaining lean body mass.

HCG also acts to restore your bodies "set point." The hypothalamus is a gland in the brain that controls the metabolic rate of the body. Similar to the set point of a thermostat controlling the temperature, the hypothalamus regulates the amount of fat needed for storage in order for you to survive. HCG has the unique ability to increase your metabolic rate by resetting your "set point." This facilitates a permanent change in metabolic rate and encourages fast and permanent weight loss.
