The hCG diet is a homeopathic approach to losing weight quickly, safely and effectively. Dating back to the 1950’s, doctors found that small doses of hCG given to overweight individuals (men and women) decreased their appetite, and made them lose inches specifically around their hips, thighs, buttocks and stomachs. Today, millions of people use hCG and when combined with a low calorie diet and exercise, hCG can stimulate the body’s natural ability to shed unwanted pounds.
hCG causes your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of the hard-to-reach fat storage locations so that it's more available for burning off. While you are only consuming 500 calories, hCG stimulates your hypothalamus to release the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually operating on thousands of calories a day, not just the 500 you consume during the hCG diet. The result is that your body is burning thousands of calories from stored fat of your body each day, which is the reason hCG dieters report losing weight.
