Weight Management Two weight management programs that I found are the HCG diet, and the Atkins diet. HCG is human chorionic gonadotropin. You must take a couple drops a day of this chemical and place yourself on a very strict 500 calorie daily diet. You are only allowed to eat certain foods and cannot have any sugar. The program claims that you will lose a pound a day and not feel hungry while only eating 500 calories. The cost involved of this program is purchasing the HCG drops which are available on amazon for about $25 for a 40 day supply. It is recommended to stay on the program for 40 days unless you have to lose less than 20 pounds for which they only recommend 20 days. The Atkins diet is a diet which promotes eating protein and controlling your carb intake. You initially hold off on higher-carb vegetables, as well as fruit and whole grains. You omit starchy, sugary carbohydrate foods low in nutrients, such as bagels and sweetened breakfast cereals. Through the program you purchase frozen premade meals from them. The average costs of the Atkins diet is about $100 a week. One method of surgical weight reduction that I always hear on my local sports radio is Freeze the Fat. The hosts of the show all claim that they have done it and that it works. It uses Cryolipolysis fat-freezing technology to safely and effectively kill unwanted fat cells. No anesthetic is needed, and no incisions need to be made. You will be ready to return to your regular routine right after treatment. With targeted cooling, your fat is safely chilled to damage the fat cells without harming surrounding skin or tissue. During the weeks following your procedure, your body will naturally eliminate the damaged fat cells, leaving you looking slimmer. The average cost for freeze the fat is $1,675. I went to my local CVS in Simi Valley and found 3 weight loss products that they sell. One of them is called Lipozene. The main
