What is HCG and how does it result in losing weight quickly?
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone that is found in large amounts with pregnant women. During pregnancy the hormone almost completely controls the females metabolic functions. When HCG is present in non-pregnant people it is found to increase the metabolism quite similarly to pregnant women. Thousands of calories in stored excess fats are released. The body pulls out excess fat and burns it providing all the nutrients the body needs, which results in the rapid weight loss. In order to produce such results the VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) is needed. In most cases items such as: certain cosmetics, lotions, and other personal care products are prohibited during the duration of using the drops. This is because while taking HCG oral drops the fat cells are open and certain products containing fats and oils can be absorbed into the body compromising the weight loss.
