As we have explained before, hCG-treated patients lost more body fat than non treated patients. And fat content is the kernel of the disease we call obesity.

When evaluating the efficiency from any obesity treatment, we must assess whether the procedure decreases body fat to a greater extent when compared to other approaches. We do not have to assess weight loss, fat loss is the answer.

If I give a diuretic to the patient and request him to come back in three hours, and he has lost four pounds after three hours: does it mean that diuretics administration is an effective procedure for weight loss?

Absolutely no.
