HCG - Human Chorionic Gonadotropin For Dieting?

What is HCG? HCG is a hormone that the woman's body produces to help development of an egg in a woman's ovary. It also stimulates the egg when a woman ovulates.

HGC can be used to promote ovulation in women to fight infertility and can be used in men to help increase sperm count. It can also be used in young boys whose testicles have not dropped properly into the scrotum. There are also other uses but these were the main ones.

But will it help you lose weight?

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin may help those categorized as "Obese", but many doctors recommend against using HCG for weight control. When asked if HCG injections were a good way to lose weight David L Katz, MD, responded "I am firmly against it". He also said that some doctors and weight loss centers make claims that hCG injections stifle appetite allowing you to follow a very low calorie diet while preserving your energy. He goes on to say that manipulating a single hormone would like throwing a "pebble into a pond" hoping for just one ripple.

Dr. Daniel Belluscio on the other hand, who has been prescribing hCG for almost 30 years and helped design the most used form of the drug (for dieting purposes), stands firm. He uses a 500 calorie diet (very low calorie) with HCG (for appetite suppression) and has seen wonderful results in his over 6,500 clients. A normal treatment lasts 5-6 weeks, weight loss is approximately 22-28 pounds depending on how closely the patient sticks to the diet.

he cost of Dr. Daniel Belluscio's HCG diet may surprise you, $480 per week at his site with all the trimmings including creams and consultations, or $250 per week for the home kit.
