The drops are made with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, or HCG, which is a naturally occurring hormone found in women who are pregnant. This hormone is responsible for ensuring that mother and child have enough to sustain them throughout the pregnancy. The HCG will hook into the deep fat reserves and convert it to energy so that both can survive during the pregnancy. With HCG drops, coupled with a low calorie diet in a person who is not pregnant, the body automatically hooks onto those stubborn reserves and starts to use them up. Once this process begins, the fat starts to literally melt away fast. Then, the body’s metabolism is reset at a higher level so that after the course is finished the body will continue to burn the stubborn fat even when the diet returns to normal. In other words, there is no ‘bounce back’ when the treatment is finished. Meaning that the weight will not come back as long as you continue a healthy lifestyle.
