What is the HCG Diet?
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a natural hormone that is found in the body. Taken in very small doses, it aids in burning abnormal fat, which is usually found in excess in our stomach, back, butt, hips, thighs, and underside of arms. With the HCG drops, the body will consume the abnormal fat and after the HCG drops diet is completed, the metabolism will be reset. When a person goes on a low calorie diet without the HCG drops, the body goes into starvation mode and holds onto the fat. After a short period, the body will start to consume the normal fat needed to protect the vital organs and bones for fuel, and muscle mass will be depleted as well.
