HCG is a new diet fad that has swept across America. It involves injecting people with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.
HCG weight loss shots refer to injections of HCG taken to reduce weight. HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and is a hormone produced by pregnant women. It is synthesized by the developing embryo and also by the placenta at a later stage and its function is to prevent the disintegration of the corpus luteum of the ovary. This is vital for pregnancy in humans. However, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is much in demand these days to lose weight.
Among the many diets and other weight loss trends out there in a world obsessed with losing weight, HCG weight loss shots are among the recent popular methods. People these days are willing to try anything for weight reduction, all kinds of weird and bizarre methods, liposuction, hormone therapy, stapling stomachs, strange chemical concoctions - nobody bothers to try out the most effective and proven method lose weight which is simply exercise and diet!
Nevertheless there is an industry for HCG weight loss and its proponents swear by its effectiveness and even claim that the effects are permanent. That means these shots will cause a general reduction in tendency to gain fat weight (fat, as opposed to lean muscle mass) - a trait that will stay with the person for life. It is claimed that healthy weight can be maintained even after returning to the "normal" routine. HCG shots can allegedly give you a weight reduction rate of more than a pound a day.
HCG weight loss shots are taken by people because some studies have claimed that genetics can sometimes act as roadblock towards losing weight. The body is programmed by genetics to stay at a certain weight, which might not be the ideal preferred weight of the individual, and the body militates against any efforts made to change this "pre-ordained" weight. According to British endocrinologist A.T.W. Simeons who developed HCG weight loss shots, subjects treated with low dose shots of HCG lost fat while retaining lean muscle because the HCG stimulates the hypothalamus to get rid of fat. In an embryo, this hormone promotes mobility in the developing fetus by getting rid of extra deposits of adipose (fat). This is the rationale behind HCG weight loss shots. This has also led to them being used as anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs.
