hCG diet becoming big weight loss trend





What is hCG? It's human chorionic gonadotropin -- a pregnancy hormone that when given in very low doses, is thought to cause the body to burn fat faster -- even in men!
The hCG diet is combined with a very low calorie diet of:

  • Protein twice a day
  • Two fruit servings but limited types of fruits
  • Unlimited non-starchy vegetables

"Ninety-nine percent of people will see the rapid weight loss," said board certified nurse practitioner Arlene Loeschen.
Loeschen works with weight loss patients and diabetics at the Wellness Associates of Katy. She says she has 1,000 patients on the hCG diet and 75 percent of them have lost weight.
"The hCG allows the body to get at stored body fat," Loeschen said.

 The cost for the pharmaceutical grade hCG, blood work and medical visits is about $100 a week.

 If you have questions about the hCG diet, contact the Wellness Associates of Katy  or call 281-647-9950.

The business is based in Washington state and sells food like chicken, pork, beef and fruit in bulk all over the country.There is no limit on how many cases you can purchase but keep in mind, you will have to separate the chicken and store it once you get home, so freezer space is a must.

For the past seven months, Charles has been in Afghanistan with the 182nd infantry of the Massachusetts Army National Guard.

Or better, "had" been. Unbeknownst to his parents, the Bruins brought him home on leave to join them at centre ice and present them with the puck. Watch and weep:
