What Does hCG Do

What is hCG and what does it do?

Question MarkHCG stands for "Human Chorionic Gonadotropin" which is a hormone that is produced by women during the early months of pregnancy. There are actually a few different uses for hCG.

For example, hCG can be used for fertility, weight loss and even for pregnancy testing. This is the reason that a pregnancy test will sometimes tell a woman that she is pregnant while on the HCG Diet, when in fact she is not.

The HCG Diet is a controversial low calorie weight loss diet.

I have seen first hand how effective the diet can be; it works very well, just as long as you follow the diet protocol the way it's supposed to be done.

How The HCG Hormone Works

The way that hCG works when used for weight loss is - by using low dose hCG Hormone Injections along with a strict 500 Calorie Diet, the hCG helps your body to burn fat, rather than Lean Muscle Tissue, which makes the diet work very fast and effective. Most people will lose about a pound a day.

Although high levels of the hCG Hormone is produced mainly by women during the early months of pregnancy, the HCG Diet can be used by both men and women. This seems to cause a lot of confusion for some. But it's really quite simple.

What most people don't know, is that men can also produce the hCG Hormone, just not near as much as women do. If a man produces more than the normal amount, which is 0.8 mIU/mL, it could possibly be a sign of Testicular Cancer.

Because the hCG helps the body to burn fat, rather than your lean muscle tissue, it really doesn't matter if you are a man or woman, it works the same either way.


Did you know that men could produce the hCG Hormone?

Would you like to write an article for the HCG Diet 411 Blog? These days, there are people all over the world that are using the HCG Diet. Whether it's good or bad, each one of these people have a story to tell about their experience. Are you one of these people? If so, I would love to hear what it is you have to say; and I'm sure my blog readers would too. Not a professional blogger? - Don't worry, you don't have to be. If you can write a letter, you can write a blog post. See, I really want to get HCG Diet users talking about how they've done with the diet so far - Because even though a doctor can tell you how the diet works and what to expect from it, only a handful of them have actually done it. Which means they can't tell you on a personal level what you will experience. Now don't get me wrong, most doctors are very knowledgeable about the HCG Diet and they usually have valuable information to share with their patients. I just th...

HCG Diet Dangers

HCG Diet Dangers - Are there any? And if so, what are they? So what are the dangers associate with the HCG Diet? If you were to Google the term " HCG Diet Dangers ", you would get a bunch of sites trying to sell you something related to the HCG Diet. A lot of the websites that you will run into trying to find the answer to this question, are nothing more than marketers using fear tactics to get you to buy their product. So try not to get pulled in by this sort of thing. The truth is there are some HCG Diet Dangers, but they're probably not as bad as you think. In fact, some of them are human errors that make this method of weight loss the most dangerous. I'm talking about things like getting an infection from not cleaning your syringe. While getting an infection from a syringe is a danger that is associated with the HCG Diet, it is a mistake that a human makes that causes it. Therefore, the danger can be eliminated if you can only remember to use alcohol pads...
