About hCG
What is Hcg?
hCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone present in both men and women, but which is produced in great amounts in pregnant females. During pregnancy, the substance almost completely controls the woman’s metabolic functions. In non-pregnant women, research suggests hCG increases the metabolism similar to a pregnant woman. Thousands of calories in stored fat are released, and are used by the body or expelled to keep the fat cells from immediately taking in more fat.
What is hCG Treatment?
The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a healthy low calorie diet accompanied by treatments of hCG. On average you will experience rapid weight loss averaging 1 pound per day. In addition to the loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify your relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.
The use of hCG helps to burn the “mobile fat”; that is the fat that is stored around the hips, thighs, belly and upper arms. It will however leave the so called “structural fat”, that can be found in the muscles and protects the organs, untouched. This way the excess fat will disappear even faster, the problem areas will be dealt with more efficiently and this way of losing weight.
The hCG diet is quickly becoming the most popular diet program with quick and amazing results. Using hCG will help you protect muscle loss and burn fat while continuing to lose pounds and inches.

hCG Treatment Summary
Getting Started:
The first 3 days of the hCG protocol is a high fat high calorie diet while taking the drops and eating the most fattening foods including sugar you can find. (think of those 3 days as your last great food binge). Why you ask would I want to do that?!! Because you cannot comfortably start on a 500 Calorie a day diet unless your normal fat reserves are well stocked. Even if you are actually gaining weight you must eat to capacity of the most fattening foods you can get down until the 3rd day. It would be a mistake for you to start on 500 Calories as soon as you receive your drops, because it takes about 3 days before your stored fat begins to circulate and becomes available for the body to use. On the 4th day is when you start the 500 calorie diet and your new life.
Vigorous Exercise is not recommended while taking hCG. The reason for this is exercise increases hunger and your body will want to restore what you lost during exercise instead of pulling from the reserves. You can resume your normal workouts after you have lost the weight. You can walk while taking hCG but beware of any cravings or excessive hunger and adjust accordingly.
Tea, coffee, plain water, or mineral water are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at any time. I highly recommend trying different teas and adding variety. We will be offering tea videos and tips on our blog site.
No Massages of ANY type while you are taking hCG. The fat tissues are going through a very delicate process. Manipulation of this can cause bruising and affect your weight loss. It is very important to be easy with any excess skin as this may inhibit the bodies natural process to tighten the skin as you lose weight.
After the last oral treatment you must continue the 500 calorie diet for a full 3 days without taking any drops. You will not be hungry and will feel like you are still on the drops because the hCG is still in your system. Once the 3 days are over, you will start on a healthy 1500 calorie diet for 3 weeks.
It takes about 3 weeks before the weight reached at the end of the treatment becomes stable. During the 3 weeks after treatment you must avoid sugars and starches.
Average Days of Treatment Needed
15 pounds or Less = 26 Days of Treatment with 23 Days of Drops. You must continue the 500-calorie diet for 3 days after the last drop treatment. This is extremely important. If there is even a trace of hCG in the body and you start eating normally then you will put on an alarmingly amount of weight.
More than 15 pounds= The maximum given in a single course is 40 oral treatments, As a rule you are not to lose more than 34 lbs at a time. The treatment is stopped when either 34 lbs. have been lost or 40 oral treatments have been given.
More than 34 lbs. You must take at least a 6 week break between your next treatment.
