Weight Loss HCG

Weight loss can be a difficult challenge. It can seem hopeless at first, not being able to shed pounds through diet or exercise or weight loss plans. However, science finally has an answer to difficult weight loss. At Boston Vitality, we offer Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) medical weight loss plans that can help patients finally lose the weight they've been trying to lose for years.

What Is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)?

The hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG or hCG) is a natural hormone produced by the human body. While both men and women's bodies produce this hormone, the female body produces large quantities of HCG during pregnancy. In this manner, HCG stimulates the brain's hypothalamus and helps the body metabolize fat more easily, providing energy for both the developing baby and the mother.

It is in this way that HCG can be used to aid in medical weight loss. Boston Vitality offers a series of HCG injections, allowing anyone to take advantage of the hormone's weight loss properties. By injecting HCG into the body, it allows the body to metabolize abnormal fat and use it for energy.

What Kinds of Fat Are There in the Human Body?

There are three different fats that exist in the human body: structural fat, normal fat, and abnormal fat. Structural fat is a kind of healthy fat that fills the gaps and spaces between the organs of your body. Think of it as a packing material that helps to cushion not just your organs but your bones and major blood vessels. Normal fat acts as a fuel reserve that your body can freely draw upon when it needs additional energy in the short term. This kind of fat is a normal and healthy part of the body, and despite being found all throughout the body, it is harmless.

The third type of fat is abnormal fat, and as its name implies, it's not a normal part of human anatomy. Abnormal fat is a fat that accumulates over time inside the body, usually because of an unhealthy diet or lifestyle, and because the human body cannot normally use abnormal fat like it can normal fats, it's difficult to shed this fat through regular diet or exercise.

How Is HCG Used for Weight Loss?

By injecting small amounts of the HCG hormone into the bloodstream periodically, the body can gain access to these abnormal fat deposits and metabolize them like with normal fat. HCG is safe for use by both men and women, and HCG treatments can take the form of either intravenous injections or pills. HCG treatments for medical weight loss are combined with a 500 to 800 calorie diet for maximum effectiveness. While taking part in a HCG medical weight loss plan, your diet should comprise a moderate amount of proteins, fruits, and vegetables. You should limit beverages to coffee, unsweetened tea, and water.

What Else Should I Know About HCG?

While taking part in a HCG medical weight loss plan, your metabolism will not slow down for some time. As a result, patients will probably experience mild hunger during the first few days of the 500 to 800 calorie diet, but by the second week, most patients feel satisfied with the low-calorie diet. On average, patients will burn up to one pound of fat a day while on the HCG medical weight loss plan. However, results can vary from patient to patient, depending on gender, pre-existing health conditions, and other factors.
