Introducing the HCG Diet

Why the HCG Diet?
  • See dramatic results in the first week!
  • Re-shape and re-set metabolism
  • Maintain weight loss
The hCG Diet was developed by British physician, Dr. A.T.W. Simeons who devoted much of his life to fine tune a weight loss protocol that worked quickly, was very simplistic, but had long term success. Dr. Simeons’ studies found that weight gain is not necessarily affected by the quantities of food that one eats. His lifelong studies came to show, not only can you lose fat in those hard to burn areas like your bellies, chins, love handles, thighs, and arms, but you can also change how your metabolism functions over time.
The hCG Diet works on this basic principle; when hCG is absorbed into your body, it causes your body to mobilize your stored fat. hCG triggers the body to break down fat cells, and put in into the blood stream to be burned off as energy. This process puts anywhere from 1500 to 4000 calories in your system per day. This allows us to utilize a low calorie diet while still maintaining strength and energy levels. If you use hCG with a normal diet then you will gain weight.

Dr. Simeons observed women in third world countries who were working hard and long hours with very little food. He realized that these women were still giving birth to perfectly normal, healthy, full weight babies. From this observation Dr. Simeons realized that whether the mothers ate or not, the baby was STILL GETTING THE NUTRITION needed through a biological process involving a natural hormone called hCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin. hCG is the hormone found in every human tissue, in males and both pregnant and nonpregnant females. It increases significantly during pregnancy and helps to support the growing baby in its early stages. Doctors have used hCG for years in treatments including fertility and pregnancy tests. It also has been clinically proven to work in weight loss when coupled with a low calorie diet.

Based on Dr. Simeons’ weight loss guidelines, the hCG diet involves using a very small amount of hCG (compared to the surge in pregnancy) to stimulate the body to burn fat cells while eating a very low calorie diet (VLDC). Normally on a very low calorie diet, the body goes into “starvation mode” and causes the body to store fat. When hCG is used in conjunction with a very low calorie diet for a short period of time, the body is stimulated to burn excess fat cells instead of storing it.

Most diets that deal with reducing calories alone do not work. When an overweight/obese individual tries to reduce calories to reduce weight, they will first burn their normal reserve fat cells. Once these are used up, the body will begin to burn the structural fat cells. Both of these types of fat are essential and are not the kind of fat that leads to obesity. The last fat cell to be utilized by the body is the abnormal fat, or the fat that causes people to be overweight. By the time the person gets to this point, they feel hungry, fatigued and generally give up the diet. If there are signs of weight loss, it is usually not in the desired areas. The good fat, or the normal reserve and structural fat are diminished leading to sagging skin, and the bad fat stays (belly, hips, and thighs). It also depletes nutrients which can lead to further complications.

hCG may help to reshape the body’s fat deposits and target specifically the abdomen, buttocks, upper thighs, neck and face. Those who have taken hCG while dieting report that it is much easier to stay on the diet and they seem to lose inches rapidly from the primary fat stores, in particular, the belly, buttocks, and thighs. Reports show an average loss of 0.5 to 2 pounds per day. hCG can be used by men and women with no reported unsafe side effects.

The hCG Diet protocol has been studied in depth since the 1950's and has helped thousands of people lose weight. Three weeks after completing the protocol your metabolism is reset to a new weight “set point” for the body making it less likely to return to one’s previous body weight. Your physical hunger is reset to a normal level. The emotional eating issues and food cravings are gone. This diet has been so successful that few changes have been made to the original protocol over the last 50 years.

Keys to a Successful hCG Weight Loss 

In order for hCG to be an effective tool in weight management, the following guidelines must be strictly followed: 

  • The hCG used must be pharmaceutical grade and available by prescription from a licensed physician.
  • The hCG must be administered and stored properly.
  • The dietary protocol that Dr. Simeons prescribed for his patients must be followed without exception, addition, or substitutions.
  • The daily caloric intake cannot exceed 500 calories.
  • You must follow the strict rules regarding cosmetics, makeup, and moisturizers.
  • Medications, vitamins, and/or supplements may reduce the protocol’s effectiveness, or result in a weight gain, while you are on the program.
  • You must drink at least 64oz of water daily (this helps to mobilize the fat).
  • Please advise your doctor of any medical conditions you have; these may impact your weight loss.
Steps of the hCG Protocol
  1. Start the hCG and gorge yourself with as many fat filled foods as possible for 2 days.
  2. On day 3, start the 500-calorie/day diet.
  3. After the hCG is stopped, you can eat anything you want (except for starch and sugar) for 3 weeks. The purpose of this phase is to reset the body’s metabolism at your new weight.
  4. For the next 3 weeks, you slowly add in starch and sugar.
