How to Use Human Choriogonadotropin for Diet Control

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Human Choriogonadotropin (hCG) is the hormone produced by pregnant women during their early stages. It is said that as part of a weight loss program, the hormone’s fat-mobilization aspects facilitate weight loss.

Steps

1. Have the hormone administered by injection.
   
2. Do the injection daily for three weeks
   
3. During the time, be monitored by a health professional.
   

Tips

• For it to work, use the hormone in conjunction with a very low calorie diet. However, those who have taken hCG shots for weight loss have experienced certain side effects such as blood clots, depression, headaches and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in women.
  

Warnings

• The disadvantage of this program though is that it really has no scientific evidence to prove it can promote weight loss. Weight loss too is only temporary and not long term. It is also not considered safe so that many health and medical professionals do not recommend this type of diet program.
