(Submit Articles) The initials (HCG) stand for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, which is a hormone produced in large amounts by pregnant women to control metabolic functions.

HCG for weight loss isn’tnew, its author, a British doctor, Dr Simeons, discovered the HCG diet in 1954. He had spent years trying to understand what caused obesity prior to then. He viewed obesity as a disorder and rather than looking at overeating as a cause, he considered it the result. So what in the world does this hormone HCG has to do with weight loss? A number of years ago, Dr. Simeons began researching the hormone “human chorionic gonadotrophin.“ His research became a significant breakthrough on how we can control the body to burn fat. This process is short, safe, predictable and easy to do.

Dr simeons HCG diet research conclude that there were 3 different types of fat stored within the body: they are Structural fat, which is stored between the organs; Normal fat, which is available freely as fuel when needed and Abnormal fat, which is locked away and cannot be used by the metabolism until all other fat has been burnt. Diets don’tusually work for people with abnormal fat stores because they don’tlose the right kind of fat while dieting. HCG works at the metabolic level to discharge these stores into the bloodstream so that they can be used as fuel, and this is why a very low calorie diet must accompany the HCG dosage.

HCG diet will reduce your craving for food and metabolize stored fat. You will lose your abnormal fat and reshape your body and look the way you are supposed to but may be you will experience some discomfort.
