More Than Just a Diet: How HCG Works

You may be wondering how HCG diet drops can help you lose weight. A diet is a diet, right? And if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you’ll succeed? It’s not that simple. Not all diets are the same. The HCG weight loss program is more than “just a diet.” The HCG diet benefits you by working in a unique way for fast, safe and healthy weight loss.

As you struggle through a crash diet or the first few days of a very low calorie diet you probably won’t actually lose weight. In many cases, when you restrict your calories your metabolism slows down, you lose muscle and you store fat. And while the pounds may drop off at first, this is mainly water. Unfortunately the excess fat remains – stubbornly clinging to problem areas and difficult to shift. Weight loss can be hard, but HCG diet drops give you a helping hand.

HCG diet drops contain the glycoprotein hormone HCG. This hormone converts fat to energy in pregnancy and speeds up the metabolism. You don’t have to be expecting to make use of HCG. Women can take advantage of HCG’s weight loss powers when they’re not pregnant and men can also use HCG for weight loss. That’s because HCG works in a unique way to help you shed the pounds. HCG effectively liquefies fat and turns it into energy you can use.

How does HCG work? HCG stimulates the hypothalamus, the gland with control over hunger, growth, body temperature and the cycles of day and night among other functions. The control over hunger and metabolism is what we’re interested in. HCG sends signals to the hypothalamus to conserve lean muscle mass and use body fat as energy. HCG retunes your body so you break down the fat stored in those problem areas like the butt, thighs and stomach – areas where fat has the tendency to stick. The hormone HCG mobilizes stored fat and redistributes it so your waist and hips shrink. And you won’t lose helpful fat, such as the protective covering for your vital organs. HCG diet drops make the calories in the food you eat available for fuel instead of keeping them in reserve for your fat stores.

With the usable energy HCG diet drops provide, you carry on with your regular life without feeling exhausted. Even on a very low calorie diet you still won’t feel like you’re starving. If you follow a very low calorie diet without taking HCG diet drops you risk your body rebelling against you, storing fat and slowing down your metabolism. While it’s true you can lose weight by eating less calories than you expend, the diet-busting risk is high. HCG drops also cut your appetite so you won’t be tempted to break the diet with high-calorie snacks – HCG tricks the body into believing it’s consuming all the calories it needs so you lose weight on your low calorie diet.
