I work with a couple of over weight people who have started kevin trudeau weight loss plan using HCG six days on and the first three days they were told to eat between 4000-5000 calories a day then they drop down to 500 calories for the next 38 days. Can anyone tell me what the HCG does to the body to make it start burning calories? The one lady is using 750 IU a week devided into six shots per week and has lost 13.5 lbs the first week and feels no hunger pain and she could put the food away. I was also wondering if this would work on a smaller scale like myself to loose extra body fat?
