HCG PCT
The HCG hormone first interested Dr Simeon’s when he found that the HCG hormone that utilizes a body’s stored fats to nourish an embryo could be isolated to aid in weight loss as well. A HCG diet cycle can last for 26 days, 40 days or sometimes longer depending on the severity of the problem. A HCG cycle is for a limited number of days as studies have found that the body does tend to develop an immunity to the HCG hormone. The HCG PCT is when a dieter requires a 6 week break before resuming the diet if required.
Facts About HCG Diet And Post Cycle Therapy

The calorie intake must be carefully monitored & the meals planned well so that the body adjusts itself slowly to the increased calories.
A lifestyle change is usually the norm after a HCG diet as the dieter now aware of the benefits of a good eating regime will naturally lean towards choosing low fat, organic, fresh foods & cuts down on sugars & fats. A balanced eating will maintain the weight loss effectively.
