The use of HcG for weight loss is a very controversial subject. HcG is a hormonal injection that is used as a weight loss aide by helping patients feel satiated while being on an extreme caloric restriction. It also targets fat cells for energy instead of causing muscle wasting. Many doctors believe HcG works for weight loss because of the caloric restriction, while others believe it is successful because HcG prevents muscle mass loss, therefore the body burns fat for energy.
I believe in the validity of using HcG for patients who have a good amount of weight to lose. The diet should be tailored specifically to the patient’s needs, activity level and body composition. The diet can be extremely effective and lead to long term success under the watchful supervision of a physician.
