HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin and is a hormone normally produced by the placenta in pregnancy to support fetal growth. During pregnancy all the bodies functions become directed to providing nutrition to the baby and HCG mobilizes stores of fat from all over the body to convert it to energy for growth.
In the non-pregnant state in both men and women HCG performs a similar function. It causes fat that is stored remotely and not easily burned (i.e. saddlebags, flanks, abdomen) to become accessible so that fat located in these hard to reach places can be burned and lost.
HCG is a non-sex hormone that is extremely safe (a million times higher amount is found in pregnancy) with no significant side effects. In the recent past HCG was given as a daily injection but at AVANTI Weight Loss Center we have found that using small amounts of HCG in a cream form can be just as beneficial for dieting. With the HCG AVANTI Diet Program, we combine the HCG cream with the MEDIFAST diet, a proven, physician-only diet. This diet was developed at Johns Hopkins University Hospital and over half a million patients have been successfully treated to date. It has been used for over 25 years. Normally, a VLCD (very low calorie diet) would be difficult to tolerate, but the Medifast food is scientifically enhanced making the diet quite easy to tolerate. Add to this the appetite suppressing aspect of the HCG and patients do very well.
There are two food sources available for the diet that one can choose from. The one we recommend is the Medifast diet program where you order from 85 different dishes online and the precise amount of food is delivered in package form directly to your house. The second food source can be prepared by you daily but involves precise weighing of your food using a postal scale. It works well but it is more time consuming compared to Medifast.
The program has direct telephone support with weight counselors as well as an established online program. You will be closely followed by our office. Visit Medifast for more detailed information.
The average weight loss is 20 pounds in a 40 day cycle with many patients losing significantly more. The cycle can be repeated within 6 weeks if desired.
