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.
