- hCG - ( Human Chorionic Gonadotropin ) hcg is a protein hormone present in both men and women, but mostly producted in great amounts in the female placenta during a pregnancy. This hormone is administered by liquid hcg drops taken under the tongue, hcg shots injected into the body once a day or sometimes as a cream or pill.
- VLCD - Very Low Calorie Diet
- P1 - Phase one, referes to the loading stage of the hcg diet ( first two days of taking the liquid hcg drops )
- P2 - Phase two, refers the very low calorie diet. 500 calorie intake starts on day three of taking the liquid hcg drops . This resets the metabolism
- P3 - Phase three, refers to the post VLCD commonly known as the maintenance period. By far the most important phase of the diet. This phase stabilizes the metabolism.
- P4 - Phase 4, the final phase is fit for life. Take your learning and new eating behaviors and stay fit for life, also known as keeping the weight off after losing it on the hcg diet.
- D1 - the "D" represents the day of the current phase. Example: P3D3 = phase 3 day 3. Often used when charting and sharing the success of the liquid hcg diet program.
- R1 - The "R" respresents the round or cycle of the hcg liquid diet the user is on. Common if you need to lose more that 20 pounds that you would do more than 1 round of the hcg diet protocol. Example: R2P2D1 = Round one, Phase two, day one.
- Vlog - Stands for Video Log. Typically one would video record thier experience on the hcg drops from start to finish. Often these video journals would be shared in supports groups, with friends and to the world with sites like http://www.youtube.com/
- hCG Levels - this is a measurement of hcg that is only used in the early stages of pregnancy, from week 1 - 12. these levels can range from 5 - 160,000 mIU/ML. These levels are NOT measured one the hcg diet protocol because the hcg drops are only taken in small dosages.
- Hypothalamus Gland - the hypothalamus gland moderates the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage, and more importantly, your metabolic rate
