HCG, also known as Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is the pregnancy hormone.   In the late 1950's Dr. A.T. Simeon discovered a link between the body's fat storage and HCG.  A highly debated topic, the FDA does not approve of HCG being sold as a weigh loss hormone.  Despite the debate, many people have utilized HCG, together with a VLCD to loss weight.  The theory behind the utilization of HCG with VLCD is that your hypothalamus is linked to your body's fat storage mechanism.  Proponents say that HCG helps the body re-establish signaling with fat stores during periods of starvation. This diet should not be undertaken without a full medical evaluation and supervision.
