What is HCG?

A lot of talk has been going on about Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG).

Briefly Summarized:

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone produced by both men and women.  It is produced in higher amounts when a woman is pregnant. When taken and followed by a specific diet plan there may be fast fat loss and fast weight loss.

The end result is to take our eating habits to the proper balance. Starches and sugars in check. The metabolism is reset.  

The HCG diet follows different phases. Specific food choices are outlined. Even specific topical self care products such as shampoo’s and creams are directed.

On a phase of a very low calorie diet (VLC), the body responds by simply ridding of stored and unnecessary fat. The body can reshape itself. Weight loss. Fat loss.

It is a great way to create the incentive of following a new eating plan. With a new you. In a new body. It is often the perfect catalyst to new way of looking at food.

Keeping and maintaining the life long phase is the important part!  And sometimes the most difficult!

  • Have you taken yourself through the protocol?
  • Have you had success?
  • Has it been a challenge?

Individuals often benefit from additional support after the 40-day protocol. The maintenance phase and beyond can be the most challenging.

  • How can I maintain the new eating plan?
  • How do I create the lifestyle and make it a lifelong change?
  • What new recipes can I bring to the table?  Making a new lifestyle fun!
  • What’s the big picture?

Losing weight is more than a diet! It is about making change! Life long, lifestyle and self-loving change!

Does it happen overnight? No

Can it happen? Yes

Education, Self Responsibility, Support, Guidance and Accountability.
