HCG Diet

The HCG diet is based off the studies of Dr. Simeon and include HCG and B12 supplements along with a low calorie diet. There are no frozen meals to purchase. There are no adverse effects. The diet is all natural and based off the body's own chemistry and physiology. It is also very effective. People who follow the diet can lose a pound a day on average.

The HCG diet is based on basic foods like: lean protein (fish, turkey, chicken, beef), tomatoes, celery, asparagus, onions, apples, strawberries, grapefruit, spinach, oranges and tea. Dieters are encouraged to make use of recipes that depend upon the approved foods to add variety to their diets. So they learn to prepare their own food using only healthy ingredients and only healthy preparations methods.

The program still requires time and effort, but the time and effort is worth it because you see immediate results. The immediate weight loss makes continuing on the program worth it and knowing the end goal is only 20-40 days away makes completing the program a sure thing even for the most frustrated of dieters!

HCG Diet Frequently Asked Questions

What is HCG and how does it work?
HCG is a hormone naturally produced in the body. It has many functions and is used medically to treat a variety of conditions. It is the pregnancy hormone. This hormone allows the body to metabolize fat and use it as energy for both mother and fetus. This acts as a "fail-safe" mechanism when energy is needed immediately. For weight loss, we use only a very small amount of HCG to capitalize on this same mechanism. Using HCG in this way does not mimic pregnancy; in fact, it can be safely used by both men and women.

Is HCG Safe?
HCG is extremely safe. Women may experience very high levels during pregnancy with no adverse affects. The small amount used for weight loss has absolutely NO side effects.

Is HCG safe for men?
The HCG is actually already found in men. It is found in every human tissue, including males and non pregnant women as well as pregnant. Men get even faster results and tend to lose more weight than women.

Will my metabolism slow down if I am on a very low calorie diet?
It is true that normally when cutting back on calories and fat, our body stores fat and our metabolism slows down. This happens because fat is really a life-saving source of stored energy. When a very low calorie diet is used in conjunction with the HCG, the hormone signals the body to used stored fat for energy, and eliminates excess fat reserves. It is a natural process, so no ill effects on your metabolism will result. The HCG keeps the body from going into starvation mode and holding onto fat as it resets your metabolism.

Wouldn't I lose the same amount of weight eating a very low calorie diet without HCG?
You can lose weight simply by eating fewer calories and fat, but because the body stores fat during times of deprivation, you will most likely lose muscle and bone before fat. This causes cellular metabolism to slow down, so in the long run, it would make gaining weight easier, as well as decrease bone density and muscle mass. By using HCG with the low calorie diet, extra fat is mobilized for energy and the rest is eliminated; the low calorie diet is vital in preventing immediate refilling of emptied fat cells. You benefit by preferentially getting rid of excess fat without affecting your bone and muscle. With HCG you can lose the weight quickly and keep it off!

The HCG diet is very low calorie, will I get hungry?
It is common to feel mild hunger during the first few days. This will pass and by the second week you will find your servings to be satisfying. Because HCG mobilizes fat and makes it available to the body as an energy source, it naturally reduces appetite. So even though you are taking in fewer calories, your body can access the energy you have stored in fat cells. Drinking lots of the green tea all day (we like the cold fruity sweet one sweetened with stevia) helps a ton as a natural appetite suppressant and your energy level. Overall, most people have plenty of energy and feel good while on the program.

Will HCG interfere with any medications I am currently taking?
HCG does not interact with ANY medications, including birth control pills or Depo-Provera, so there are NO side effects.
