The HCG diet

HCG is a hormone produced by women body during pregnancy, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) breaks down fat from abdominal and pass it to the baby to use it for energy production and since 1950 doctors and researches has been experimenting with HCG as a quick option for losing weight.

Using HCG for weight loss is very controversial and it’s part of a diet program that takes eight weeks to complete that promises losing total of 4 pounds (1.8 Kg) per month. According several reports online HCG hormone helps with satiety and energy while on low diet.

With HCG diet you are allowed to consume food that provide only 500 calories per day. Doctors belief that it’s not the HCG hormone that is contributing to weight lose it’s the low calorie diet that will work even without HCG or any other weight loss supplement and this is why it’s controversial.

It has been said that with HCG you will lose fat only without affecting the muscle while with other diets fat and muscle are lost, however this claim has no scientific back up.

HCG hormone also available in liquid and spray, FDA has approved usage of HCG for infertility treatment and not for weight loss, even though HCG is available online you need to be careful and not rush in using it to solve your obesity problem and according to FDA, there is not substantial prove supporting HCG effectiveness for weight loss.

Liraglutide is not available over the counter and it’s prescribed to patient clinically diagnosed with obesity, still this is not a quick fix for obesity and it may take 20 weeks to lose around 8 kilograms.
