HCG | Medical Weight Loss | HCG Diet

This hCG diet utilizes the natural hormone called hCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, to assist you

during your weight loss program. Since the hormone hCG significantly increases during pregnancy, it helps to support the growing baby in its early stages. One of the functions of this hormone is to stimulate the body to mobilize and burn abnormal fat cells for energy.

In our weight loss program, a very small amount of hCG is used (compared to the surge in pregnancy) to stimulate the body to burn fat cells while the body is on a very low calorie diet (VLCD). Normally on a VLCD, the body goes into “starvation mode,” and in that mode our body stores fat. This is a protective mechanism by our bodies to prevent death during periods of starvation. When using hCG in conjunction with a VLCD for a short period of time, you stimulate your body to burn excess fat cells while on the low calorie diet. So, you are in fact losing the fat you want to lose instead of storing it.

After you rise or sometime in the AM you take the hCG injection. Throughout the day you drink plenty of bottled water, tea. Black coffee is allowed.

Breakfast - you may have fruit (orange, apple, grapefruit, strawberries). You can choose two fruit servings a day

Lunch - 4 oz. of lean protein meat (chicken, veal, Italian beef - see restrictions) or fish (tilapia, cod, halibut, chilean sea bass, sole, flounder) and one cup of vegetables (spinach, asparagus, green beans, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts) one piece of fruit (orange, apple, grapefruit)

Dinner - same as lunch but always vary your choice of protein, vegetable and fruit

The use of hCG in the treatment of obesity was first discovered by the late British Physician,Dr. A. T. W. Simeons. He devoted 35 years to researching various patients suffering from obesity. During this time, Simeons noticed several important factors including the lack of symptoms one would expect from a patient on a very low calorie diet. For example, his patients had no headaches, hunger pains, weakness, or irritability as long as the low calorie diet was combined with hCG.
