What is the HCG Diet?

Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen, burning off fat is very difficult for many people. The HCG diet is a unique dietary plan that helps your body burn off fat more effectively. Le Beau Visage Medical Spa offers a number of fat loss solutions, including the HCG diet, for clients looking to get rid of stubborn fat and/or lose a lot of weight.

What is HCG? 

HCG is a hormone that your body produces during pregnancy. Its full scientific name is human chorionic gonadotropin, and it is one of the markers measured in pregnancy tests. The HCG hormone essentially tells the body to start burning fat stores in order to nourish the baby. 

How Does the HCG Diet Work? 

During the HCG diet, you receive HCG injections on a regular basis, and you also eat a very low-calorie diet each day. HCG works as an appetite suppressant, so you won’t feel hungry even though you are on a very minimal diet. The hormone forces the body to start burning fat stores for energy, so you’ll experience weight loss very quickly. 

The Importance of Medical Guidance

Since the HCG diet is a professional program, it’s important to work with a medical professional to ensure it is done safely. This professional will help you with the HCG injections, and they will also help you put together a low-calorie diet plan that doesn’t leave out the essential nutrients your body needs. HCG diets are only done for short periods of time for safety and health. After the diet is over, the professional will help you gradually increase your food intake safely so that you can maintain the results. They will also help you develop a healthy maintenance diet that you can stick to for ongoing benefits.
