What is an HCG Weight Loss Program?
An HCG weight loss program combines a very a low-calorie diet (VLCD) with the administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy. HCG is believed to reduce appetite, increase metabolism, and rebalance hormones, leading to weight loss.
How It Works
The HCG weight loss protocol typically involves consuming a strict diet of around 500-800 calories per day, combined with daily injections or oral administration of HCG. The hormone is thought to suppress appetite, reduce cravings, and rebalance hormones, making it easier to stick to the low-calorie diet. As a result, individuals may experience rapid weight loss.
