hCG to Lose Weight?

What is hCG and why does everyone keep talking about it?

Here is a brief overview of it. It is a hormone that is present in pregnant women

You can inject it, rub it, or take drops under the tongue. You don’t need a prescription for it.

You do have to be on a very strict diet when taking this hormone–only 550 calories a day! Doesn’t sound like very much does it. So how is this a good way to lose weight if you are essentially starving yourself? What it does is mobilizes the fat in the body and the body uses that as calories and energy and the fat melts away. People who have taken it say that they don’t ever feel hungry during the day even though they are only eating 550 calories.

Sounds too good to be true, right? Fat melting away? Not ever hungry? Well it might be to good to be true. Just like any diet it is not guaranteed for everyone. Even though it is safe for men and women it has NOT been approved by the FDA because it hasn’t been fully tested.

side effects may include headaches, blood clots, and depression–all of which are printed on the side of the bottle.

Like any other dietary supplement, consult your physician before taking any medicine to help you lose weight.

Any one taken it? Did it work for you?
