HCG Weight Loss Program

Our plan teaches you the best food choices to ensure your body gets everything it needs. Despite the reduction in calories, you will have energy beyond belief!

We provide all the necessary assistance to ensure your weight loss journey is successful—starting DAY ONE.

HCG Weight Loss Program Overview

The HCG Weight Loss Program is a doctor-supervised program that has three distinct components:

1. A low calorie diet, which is mildly ketogenic and glycemic-index controlled.
2. Specially formulated prescription medications to help ensure your success.
   • HCG pellets. This helps to facilitate and expedite the fat-loss process.
   • “Metabolism Booster” nutritional injections to help burn fat, increase energy, and stabilize blood sugar levels.
3. A doctor and self-managed monitoring program of coaching and counseling that keeps the patient involved, focused and motivated.

The HCG Weight Loss Program addresses several of the common weight loss problems by supporting the metabolism hormonally during the program.

Three common reasons why diets fail:

1. Constant hunger
2. Fatigue and lack of energy
3. Metabolism plummets, and the patient quickly regains the weight.

The HCG Weight Loss Program effectively addresses these concerns by:

1. Curbing appetite naturally
2. Increasing metabolism and energy
3. Improving the patient’s sense of well-being
4. Affecting the brain to secrete endorphins and serotonin – the “feel good” hormones
5. Releasing fat from the peripheral fat cells

You can expect significant—and fast—results from our HCG Weight Loss Program:

1. Rapid weight loss through this physician monitored program
2. Lose significant body fat and not lean muscle mass
3. Maintenance program to help keep the weight off

NOTES:

• You must treat this as a medical condition with the supervision of a trained physician.
• All of the instructions must be followed exactly. This will require true dedication from you.
• Our team is dedicated to your weight loss goals. You have to let us help you.
• Beware of imitations. HCG is only available by prescription in the US.

What is HCG?

HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. It is a hormone that is produced in large quantities in pregnancy (both men and women have male and female hormones, so this program is just as successful for men).

HCG is responsible for making the abnormal fat reserves of the body available to be burned as fuel.* In pregnancy it is used to protect the nutritional health of the growing baby, however, in conjunction with this program it is used to rid the body of abnormal fat deposits. Rest assured that the HCG helps to stave off any hunger pangs that a restricted diet may cause. With the introduction of HCG, thousands of extra calories begin to flood the system from the abnormal fat being metabolized. For this reason, HCG diets are easier to stick to than a traditional healthy diet that simply restricts calories. When a program is easy to stick to, success is the end result!

Dr. Simeons’ Plan for Success

Dr. A.T.W. Simeons was a British physician who researched and developed the HCG program in the 1950’s. Dr. Simeons’ research in the 1950’s resulted in concluding that there are 3 different types of fat stored in the body:

• Structural (visceral) fat (in and around muscles, cushioning organs, padding of bottoms of feet, etc.)
• Normal Fat (dermal fat which is directly under the skins surface and provides the soft cushioning between the skin and frame of the body)
• Abnormal (adipose) fat (under the dermal fat and not available for use by the metabolism until the other 2 kinds of fat are reduced) Abnormal fat can be viewed as “famine fat”
  
  

It is stored by the body for emergency famine. Yo-yo dieting contributes to the storage of this type of fat because the body begins to question the availability of fuel (food). When calories are restricted, the body stores all the fat it can, to save up for the lean times!

Dr. A.T.W. Simeons’ research produced a plan that results in an average weight loss of .5 to 1 lb a day of Abnormal Fat when accompanied by a VLCD (very low calorie diet).

Typical Reduced Calorie Diet

Most calorie reduction diets will not produce the best results for those individuals with an abundance of Abnormal Fat stores because their bodies will begin by burning the wrong kind of fat. When a low caloric diet is introduced to the system, the Normal reserves of fat are used up first. As a result, most people look gaunt and drawn after a reduced caloric diet. Although the Normal reserves of fat have been reduced, the Abnormal fat remains intact.

Without using HCG in a reduced calorie diet plan, the body will burn Structural and Normal fat.

HCG works to release the Abnormal fat stores and make them available to be used as fuel. By following the protocol precisely the body will “burn” the Abnormal fat, while preserving muscle, normal fat, and structural fat.

Are you ready for the best part?

Dr. Simeons called it a CURE! The HCG will help to release the Abnormal fat reserves in the body, but what about keeping that extra weight off? This is where commitment comes into play. Commitment to all phases of this plan will retrain the hypothalamus to control and regulate proper metabolism.

Re-setting The Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, blood pressure, heartbeat, gastric reflexes, maternal behavior, blood pressure, immune responses, carbohydrate and fat metabolism. The hypothalamus is responsible for the control of food intake.

The Hypothalamus is Responsible for the Control of Food Intake

It may sound amazing, but it is the hypothalamus’ job to make the body salivate for an apple, rather than a piece of chocolate cake. If the hypothalamus is working normally, then a person will be more inclined to crave a nutritionally, well balanced diet! Food that is void of the nutrition needed will not have the same pull or crave-producing impact.

This is why some people can have one bite of their chocolate cake, push it to the side, and say, “That was enough”, while the rest of us are staring at the unfinished piece of cake wondering if we can have it!! Its okay, we can be honest here!

The hypothalamus is much like peripheral vision. When driving on the highway, even though the driver may not always be looking straight ahead, his peripheral vision assists him in making the tiny adjustments in steering to keep the car in between the lines on the road. The hypothalamus, when functioning normally, works in the same way. It assists the body by steering the appetite and promoting more effective metabolism to keep the body at a certain weight, or “set-point”, just like the lines on the highway.

For those who have a hypothalamus that is not functioning properly, it is like their peripheral vision has become distorted. The lines on the highway, so to speak, become wider and wider, or not visible at all. The body’s hunger becomes more and more intense; more food is craved and eaten; more fat is consumed and stored.

Now the body’s “set-point” has risen on the scale to a new high and isn’t coming down. Sound familiar? Using Dr. Simeons’ plan, it is now possible to lower the body’s “set-point” and re-train the hypothalamus to make the necessary adjustments to keep it there, forever!

Another Piece to the Intricate Puzzle

In the body, there is a hormone called Leptin. Leptin is like a messenger between the hypothalamus and the fat stores. When your body gets to the point where it has stored enough fat, leptin runs to the hypothalamus, and yells, “Stop!!!! We’ve stored enough fat!!!!”

More Adipose fat = higher levels of Leptin = Leptin resistance = MORE STORED ADIPOSE FAT!When the hypothalamus is not functioning properly it cannot hear or understand what Leptin was trying to tell it. So the hypothalamus thinks that it still needs to store excess fat. And it does. It keeps storing and storing because it has not gotten the message that there is already enough fat on the body.

Dr. Simeons’ research is a crucial piece to normalizing the hormone communication in individuals with high levels of Adipose fat. HCG assists the body in quickly reducing Adipose fat so the hormones can once again, communicate effectively.*

Getting Started

The duration of our program is 30 days, and includes 4 weekly visits to our office. Expected average weight loss for women during the plan is 20-25 pounds; men can expect to lose an average of 25-30 pounds for the same 30 day period. For the first 2 days you will “load up” and gorge on high fat foods which helps the body stay satisfied and energized during the HCG diet phase that will follow on days 3-30. HCG will actually cause your body to burn up to 2500 calories per day and coupled with the calories you are consuming, it’s like you are taken in 3000 calories per day! This satisfies your body’s caloric needs while burning fat.

At the conclusion of your first 30 day period using the HCG, you will either move to Phase 2 maintenance or move into the “rest period” to prepare for another cycle of HCG. During the “rest period” will be required to stop the HCG for the next 30 days before you start another cycle because your body will adapt to the HCG and lose the effectiveness. We can give you different diet options during this “resting” period that will keep the weight loss going.

How is HCG taken?

HCG can be taken sublingually (under the tongue) or daily intramuscular injections. Injections must be kept refrigerated, so we standardly prescribe the sublingual. If you would prefer injections, we could order that prescription for you.

The HCG prescription combined with the prescribed diet offer the following benefits:

• Average weight loss of ½ - 1 lb. per day
• Decreased hunger
• Results in loss of excess/abnormal stored fat
• Causes no loss of muscle or structural fat
• Triggers the hypothalamus gland to release stored fat
• Causes the metabolism to dramatically increase
• Re-distribution of normal fat and body contouring

Clinical studies have shown that 70% of patients using this method do not gain the weight back one year later.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the diet safe? Yes, and you will be closely monitored by the physician and staff.
2. Is the diet hard? Patients report the HCG Weight Loss Program was easy given the variety of food selection listed, and weekly appointments receiving the “Metabolism Booster” injections and the support given by the staff.
3. Will the office visits take a lot of time? Each visit takes approximately 30 minutes.
4. Is the weight loss guaranteed? Instructions are provided during the Hcg diet and on the maintenance phase, but adapting these lifestyles is up to you.
5. Will I have to exercise? Not during the first 30 days, unless you feel you are in excellent shape. Exercise will be recommended after this period.
6. Will support be offered? Yes. You will be scheduled for weekly appointments to review your progress. Advice will be offered on menu selection and recipes. Feel free to speak with our team regarding any questions.
7. Should I stay on the HCG? No, the body will adapt to it so you must come off. You can do an additional 30 day program if you choose, but you must be off the program for 30 days before you do.
8. Will I lose muscle on this plan? No. The diet is formulated to focus on body fat.
9. How will I not get bored with the food? There are many food combinations that provide a variety of choices. Planning your meals ahead is a great idea and will save you time.
10. What other foods can I eat beside what’s on the diet? It is not recommended to deviate from the foods on the diet.
11. If I eat less, or go on a fast will I lose more? This diet program has been specifically formulated to support your metabolism and burn fat. Doing so will cause loss of muscle tissue.
12. I am a vegetarian…what can I eat? You may choose vegetarian alternatives of protein.
13. What is the Glycemic index? The Glycemic Index, or “GI” is a method of ranking carbohydrates in foods to tell us if that food will make our blood sugar levels rise quickly, moderately, or slowly. The sugars in foods with a low GI number are released more slowly into the bloodstream causing blood levels to rise and the fall more slowly than foods that have a higher GI number.
