1. 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, but during pregnancy the levels
double every two days. This hormone allows the body to mobilize 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.
2. Is HCG safe?
HCG is extremely safe. All women experience very high levels during the nine months of
every pregnancy with no adverse effects. The small amount we use for weight loss has
absolutely NO side effects.
3. If HCG works so well for weight loss, why don't pregnant women lose weight?
HCG works to mobilize fat for utilization by the body only when there is a significant decrease
in calories and fat. A starvation state must exist for HCG to work. For weight loss, we use a
very low calorie diet to trigger HCG to help rid the body of fat.
4. Will my metabolism slow down if I'm on a very low calorie diet?
Yes, normally when we cut back our calories and fat, our bodies store fat and our metabolisms
slow 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 use
stored fat for energy, and eliminates excess fat reserves. It's a natural process, so no ill effects
on your metabolism will result.
5. Wouldn't I lose the same amount of weight eating a very low calorie diet
without HCG?
You can lose weight by simply 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.
6. The HCG diet is very low calorie, will I get hungry?
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. After about 2 days, many patients notice a significant
decrease in their appetite. Overall, most people have plenty of energy and feel good while on
the program.
7. Will HCG interfere with any medications I am currently taking? What about birth
control pills or Depo-Provera injections?
HCG does not interact with ANY medications, including birth control pills or Depo-Provera, so
there are NO side effects.
8. Will I experience any changes in my menstrual cycle taking HCG?
Because the amount of HCG is so small, there are no changes to your menstrual cycle.
Likewise, HCG will not affect your ability to become pregnant, nor will it increase your chances
of getting pregnant.
9. Why are some people calling HCG the "Weight Loss Cure"?
HCG is also being called the "Weight Loss Cure" because after taking it for weight loss, it
reprograms your body to use stored fat for energy when calories are reduced for a period of
time. Or put another way, it helps you maintain your weight and not regain the pounds you've
lost.
10. How much weight can I expect to lose on the program?
The average amount of weight loss is between 10 to 25 pounds for the three-week interval.
This varies from individual to individual, and the closer you are to your body’s ideal weight,
the slower you will lose weight. The slowest loser usually loses about 1/2 a pound a day.
11. Does the weight loss slow down after the first month?
Many times what we see is a large amount of weight loss in the first month, then a plateau or
leveling off. This does not mean that your weight loss has stopped. Typically, inches are being
lost continuously while on the program, and after a period of time, patients will experience
another large drop on the scale. Weight loss is thus achieved in this stair-step fashion.
12. Can men use the hCG program?
Yes, men can safely use the program, as long as they do not have a hormone dependant
cancer (such as prostate cancer). Now, hCG is NOT a sex hormone, and its actions are identical
in men, women, and children. Through an indirect path from the brain, hCG regulates
menstruation and facilitates conception, but it never virilizes a woman or feminizes a man.

| HCG is available as a prescription medicine which is FDA approved for certain uses, but is not FDA approved for the treatment of weight control or obesity. Using HCG in dieting is considered an "off-label" use. Medications are frequently used "off-label" to treat conditions that are unrelated to their original indications, safely and effectively. Based on our experience and that of other physicians who have been using HCG for more than 20 years, as an adjunct to a restricted calorie diet – we find it is completely safe and produces great results. |
