HCGHuman Chorionic Gonadotropin or more popularly known with its abbreviation of HCG is generally formed during human pregnancy. A type of glycoprotein, HCG composes of 244 different amino acids with most of these being hydrophilic in nature.

Apart from its known usage such as in identifying tumor or helping with fertilization, recent researches suggest that HCG works wonders when it comes to weight loss.

With HCG injections, it’s a complete weight loss protocol that you have to follow. It is a combination of the HCG injections and a diet program that will help you lose weight pretty fast.

HCG Injections & How Should These be used?

In general, people are afraid of consuming injections mostly because of the pain they go through. Well, with HCG injections, the procedure is completely painless and it does not produce any sort of tissue reaction. However, while inserting the HCG injections into a human body, there are certain guidelines to be followed:

  • There should be no vacuum left in the bottle after preparing the HCG solution or while withdrawing a certain amount for injection purpose. Otherwise, the alcohol which is used to sterilize the rubber cap may get drawn into the HCG solution.
  • The needles to be used for injecting the HCG solution should not be more than 2 inches long and it should be injected deep in the outer side of the buttock’s upper quarter.
  • The HCG injections should not be inserted into human fat layers directly; otherwise, the solution may not even reach the body muscles to take action.
  • If you have been prescribed a daily dosage of HCG injections, the interval between consuming the injection should be as close as possible to 24 hours; larger dosage at long intervals may not produce satisfactory results.

How HCG Injections work?

First of all, HCG injections work only against the abnormal body fat, not the general structural fat or normal reserve fat. The amount of HCG that is inserted is less than what is present in a human body during pregnancy. The inserted HCG takes on to the abnormal body fat and transforms the same into energy that the human body can use to continue normal physical activities. Daily usage of HCG at a moderate level causes calorie burn of around 200 calories each day. HCG is known to trigger hypothalamus so that the latter can tighten body muscles and dissolve some of extra body fat. It also stimulates a certain part of human brain so that ability to burn fat is restored at a regular interval.

HCG injections work best when a contemporary diet plan is followed. The daily intake should not be more than 500 calories and allowed foods are: white-fleshed fish, lobster, chicken breast, beef, crab (Among proteins), chard, green salad, red radishes, tomato, beet greens (Among vegetables), oranges, apples and grapefruit (Among fruits).

You must understand one thing that HCG injections will only work when you follow the diet plan strictly. Also, it is advisable to consult a physician before undergoing the HCG treatment plan as it might not be suitable for all body types.
