Babassu

Babassu is a natural wax that softens and soothes your skin. It’s important because it creates a moisture-barrier around your skin that keeps out dirt and grime, but yet allows the skin valuable “breathing” room. It’s a natural product that comes from the oil extracted from the Babassu palm (in the Amazon). Many manufacturers will attempt to save a dime by replacing Babassu with mineral oil (one of the 2 no-no ingredients listed below).

Before considering hCG for weight loss, you should have a medical exam and discuss the treatment with a doctor. It is important to find a doctor-supported hCG weight loss program to ensure the best outcome. The doctor at the hCG treatment facility will want to do a blood workup to make sure your liver and kidneys are functioning properly as well as to get baseline measurements of your cholesterol level.

There are different protocols of treatment available, but in all protocols, there is much more to achieving success than just receiving the hCG injection. If you are overweight and serious about weight loss and regaining control of your health, your diet is just as important to your success and it is important that you listen to the guidance of your weight loss counselor.

The hCG hormone works by preventing the body from going into “starvation mode” when you reduce your calorie intake. This means that when you receive the hCG injection, you will have to follow a carefully prescribed diet that allows you to decrease how many calories you are consuming while increasing your activity level. Because hCG tells your body to tap into fat stores, you will not feel hungry or tired during the treatment. In fact, you may feel more energetic as the fat stores are released. This is a treatment where the more overweight you are, the more dramatic your initial weight loss results can be.  Read more...
