The HCG Diet Overview of HCG HCG is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin a pregnancy hormone which is produced by the placenta of a pregnant woman. The main function of this hormone is to maintain pregnancy a function which it takes over from progesterone another female hormone. HCG achieves this by mobilizing the body’s nutrients stores to provide nutrients to the growing fetus. The hormone is present early in pregnancy and can be detected as early as only five days after the implantation of the growing embryo. The rapid pregnancy test is based on the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin in the urine of a pregnant woman. Higher levels can also be a marker of disease (ovarian cancer, polycystic ovarian disease and molar pregnancy) in women who are not pregnant. HCG causes redistribution of fat from its stores (adipose tissue) in the buttocks, the hips and the abdomen and channels it to fetus across the placenta. What is HCG Diet? Women gain weight during pregnancy to meet the nutritional requirements of the baby in the womb. There is a need to replenish this; therefore the brain is stimulated to increase appetite and therefore food intake. After child birth, the weight is expected to reduce but sometimes it does not because the levels of HCG drop soon after birth and there is no more mobilization. If the level of this hormone can be maintained, then the weight can be lost. This is the secret behind HCG Diet. HCG Diet involves the use of hcg drops or injectables while maintaining a recommended caloric intake. The hormone is synthesized in the laboratory and by pharmaceutical firms by recombinant DNA process. The diet is not only effective in post-pregnancy weight loss; it is also of help in both men and women wishing to lose weight. HCG Diet program is carried out in three phases as follows: 	Phase 1: Build up your fat reserves by ensuring unrestricted intake of food for two days while initiating HCG under-the-tongue drops or injection. This phase sensitizes your brain to the presence of circulating HCG and the fat you take help in its distribution to the fat deposits. 	Phase 2: For the next 23 to 40 days, a 500-calorie diet consisting of vegetables, fruits and two meals of 3.5 oz. of protein are followed while taking the HCG. In this phase an average of 1-2 pounds is shed. This is to continue until the desired weight is realized. 	Phase 3: Here is where you adopt new living style by maintaining the recommended diet. You can eat as much as you please, but eliminate sugars and starch from your diet. You need to continue with the 500-calorie diet for two days to allow your system to be cleared of all HCG. What are the benefits of HCG Diet? 	The HCG Diet ensures balanced fat redistribution throughout the body by mobilizing it from the belly, the hips and buttocks to be invested under the skin and around internal organs. 	There is no starvation because there are enough caloric intakes which are efficiently utilized. 	The diet is only of a short course and therefore improved compliance with better results. 	HCG stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the male hormone (testosterone) which increases the rate of metabolism hence more energy and further weight loss.
