Women never seem to get a break, do they? Yes, compared to men, women will lose weight a little slower. However, women still lose an average of ½ to ¾ pound per day during the hCG portion of the program, which is still fantastic. So ladies, please don't be discouraged if your man shed more weight faster than you. Jealous maybe :: but not discouraged. At a rate of ½ to ¾ pound per day you can realize your “I-deal” weight quickly, and we are here to help you.
Why do men lose the weight more rapidly? We're not exactly sure, but it most likely has to do with the effect of hCG on the gonads (ovaries for women and testicles for men). HCG mimics LH (luteinizing hormone) from the pituitary gland and stimulates the gonads. At higher doses of hCG it has been shown to stimulate ovulation in women and to increase testosterone production in men. Because testosterone is known to increase muscle mass and burn fat, this may explain why men seem to have more of a benefit than do women. In women, that stimulating effect on the ovaries can help “normalize” ovarian function and secondarily improve estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone production.
Keep in mind that this is just theory, since, to my knowledge, these effects have not been studied at the low doses of hCG used in this program. That being said, there is a medical chance that your men could increase in sexual appetite, and you could increase in fertility during the hCG portion of the program.
Remember that women look like women because of strategically placed fat. hCG is known to be beneficial in redistributing and re-contouring fat. It has been shown that hCG use, even without dieting, can redistribute fat from the central (unhealthy) areas to other more desirable areas such as the hips and breasts.
So, losing weight and redistributing fat to better areas doesn't sound too bad, does it? Remember, you won't be going through this alone. We will mentor you through the entire process. We expect women who follow the program properly will lose 20 - 30 pounds in just 12 weeks. And because of the mentored education, we expect that you'll keep it off.
