What is HCG? Human Chorionic Gonadotopin is a hormone produced by pregnant women during the first trimester of pregnancy. The body produces this hormone to ensure that the fetus is able to get the necessary food and nutrient it needs to develop normally. It allows the fetus to access the mother’s abnormal fat stores. The ability to access tap these stores allows the fetus to maintain a healthy weight regardless of the caloric intake of the mother. This is also how a fetus is able to maintain weight when a mother is ill or throwing up. HCG is only produced naturally in the body during pregnancy but has proven to be an effective weight loss aid when used in conjunction with a controlled diet. The HCG diet can be found at spas and clinics all over Salt Lake City.
HCG was originally used for weight loss in the 1950′s. Dr. ATW Simeons administered small doses of the hormone to both men and women trying to shed unwanted pounds in the hope of suppressing the appetite. Dr. Simeons noticed that not only had the HCG diet successfully decreased appetite but that the patient had lost inches from their entire bodies. The ability of the HCG diet to affect problem areas such as the belly, thighs, hips, and rear has cause millions of people to seek out the hormone to lose weight they have been unable to reach on their own. Providing renewed confidence in the users of the hormone as well as in the diet itself, HCG can be found throughout Salt Lake City. But how does it work?
The HCG hormone allows the body to tap its own fat reserves for energy rather than calories being eaten. So, if the patient takes in few enough calories the body is forced to use its fat stores for the energy it requires. The body can burn as much as 3500-4500 calories a day on this diet. For many people, this can equate to 1-2 pounds a day!
But does living on 500 calories a day seem too difficult? The HCG diet is so effective at controlling hunger that many users say they feel as though they are overeating with just 500 calories a day. This low caloric intake is only possible with the use of the hormone. Without its aid the body would start to suffer within days, insomnia, headaches, inability to focus are a few things one might notice.
The HCG diet has other benefits as well. Many people report being able to sleep better, having the feeling of hormonal balance, and suffering no loss in muscle mass. No wonder so many are seeking out their local clinics and spas.
