HCG is taken orally, under the tongue, to be rapidly absorbed which allows a person to live more on their stored fat than on what they eat.

One of the functions of HCG in a pregnant women is to release fat stores to be utilized by the baby in the event that the mom was not able to get enough to eat due to sickness or other factors. This hormone ensures that there is always fat available in the blood stream to feed the baby. It will also do that for people who are not pregnant (this includes men).

The HCG triggers the body to provide a constant flow of "food" received from the fat that your body is breaking down and using. That means burning 3500 to 4000 calories of stored fat and losing 1 to 2 pounds a day! Not only that, but the fat stores that HCG releases are abnormal fat stores.

The fat that is locked around your abdomen, thighs, hips, back, etc that seems virtually impossible to lose. HCG only releases abnormal fat deposits stored around the belly, thighs, hips, back, etc.; it effectively TARGETS trouble spots.

The other vitally important aspect of what HCG is doing is healing and resetting your metabolism. Use of HCG allows the hypothalamus to rest and recuperative.

At the end of each round, you must increase your calories to normal ranges so that your weight set point will be held at a higher caloric load than before.

Most other diets only damage your metabolism by requiring you to eat fewer calories than what you normally eat - your body then "resets" itself to gain weight if you eat above the calorie amount you were eating on the diet. This is why everyone regains their weight after a normal diet and why it seems easier and easier to gain over time.
