Frequently Asked Questions

How the diet works

Day 1: Take the HCG drops and eat as much fatty food as you can
Day 2: Take the HCG drops and continue to each fatty food
Day 3: Continue to take the HCG drops and follow the 500 calorie/day diet in your quick start guide.

First three weeks off HCG no starches or sugars
Second three weeks off HCG slowly add starches and sugars

Q: Why the 500 calorie diet?

A: HCG causes your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of the fat storage locations so that it's available for use. While you are only consuming 500 calories, your hypothalamus is continually releasing the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually operating on thousands of calories a day. The result is that your body is burning thousands of calories from fat each day, the reason HCG dieters lose 1-2 pounds of fat or more, per day.

Q: Will I be hungry on 500 calories a day?

A: It is common for mild hunger during the first few days. However, this will pass by the 2nd week. You will find even very tiny servings, to be completely satisfying. This is partly due to your hypothalamus adjusting your metabolic rate, but largely due to the amount of calories circulating in your system from the fat being released. It is common that HCG dieters feel as though they are stuffing themselves in order to reach that

Q: What is homeopathic hCG?

A: The hCG we offer is homeopathic and is an alternative to the full strength hormone. The hCG hormone is made into a homeopathic remedy, which is diluted hundreds of times and potentized, so that it is an energetic imprint of the original substance, which works in your body on an energetic level.

Q: Should I consult with my Doctor before starting the hCG diet plan?

A: Yes, As with every new diet or exercise program, you need to consult your Doctor or Physician before beginning the hCG diet plan.

Q: What is the difference between hCG injections and homeopathic hCG?

A: The hCG we offer is homeopathic and manufactured in the US. Homeopathic hCG is created by taking small amounts of the full hCG strength and creating a sublingual mixture which the body can absorb under the tongue. Homeopathic hCG is an alternative to the full strength hormone, so if you were to test it on a pregnancy test you would get a negative result. We recommend holding the drops under your tongue for at least 2 minutes and then swallow the residue. We recommend taking the homeopathic hCG drops 5 drops, 6 times a day which the frequency of taking the drops helps keep you feeling satisfied. We have had many clients who have tried both the injections and also the Homeopathic drops, and have reported the same results if not better. The biggest difference is ours is less painful and a lot cheaper.

Q: Is hCG safe for Men as well as Women?

A: hCG can be used safely in both men and women. Always check with your doctor or physician before beginning any new weight loss program. If your BMI value is lower than 20 it is not recommended for use. Also, Do NOT use hCG if you are pregnant or nursing.

Q: I have heard that I will lose more weight using injections instead of the homeopathic hCG? Is this true?

A: We have had a lot of people try the injections for their first round and then have found out about the drops and have tried the drops for their 2nd round. They have reported experiencing very similar results and a few of them actually saw more success from using the drops. Overall we have had people experience very similar results from feeling satisfied throughout the diet plan to the weight and inches lost. We have had countless people prefer the homeopathic hCG drops over the injections due to the same results, cost, and convenience. These people have become hCG drop supporters! Most injections range anywhere from $400-$600 for a 4 week program. Ours is a lot easier on your pocketbook!

Q: Couldn't I lose the same amount of weight without using hCG and just follow the very low calorie diet (VLCD)?

A: By simply cutting back a person's calories and fat consumption, one can lose weight. The risk and negative effect that happens is that the body will tend to lose mostly muscle before fat. When the body is deprived it stores fat. This causes the cellular metabolism to slow down. When a person's metabolism slows down it makes it easier to gain weight and also decreases muscle mass. By following the hCG diet program (VLCD and taking exact hCG), the excess fat is mobilized for energy and the rest is eliminated. The VLCD is essential because it prevents an instant refilling of the emptied fat cells. This is what helps maintain your muscle mass by getting rid of the fat deposits.

Q: Will I starve on the very low calorie diet (VLCD)?

A: hCG liquefies fat which opens up all of a person's fat cells. The liquid fat is then made accessible to the body to use as energy. Even though a person is consuming fewer calories, the body is able to access the stored energy that is in the fat cells which naturally reduces a person's appetite. After a few days on the hCG diet plan, many people report a major decrease in their appetite. Most people that have successfully completed the hCG diet program have reported having plenty of energy while on the program.

Q: How much weight can I expect to lose after completing the hCG program?

A: Every person loses weight differently but the average weight loss is between .5-2 pounds per day. It is normal for a person to lose 2 pounds one day and then not lose any weight or a small amount of weight the next day. You also have to remember that you are losing inches and just not pounds. It is very normal not to lose weight on the scale every single day. The body has to adjust to the weight lost and does not always reflect on the daily scale number. You need to look at your weight loss success overall and when you have completed the program.

Q: What is the hypothalamus gland?

A: The hypothalamus gland controls hunger, temperature, thirst, and fatigue. The hypothalamus is responsible for metabolic processes in the body.

Q: Is it hard to keep the weight off that you lose after completing the hCG diet?

A: Most people have reported that not only their bodies have transformed but that their eating behaviors and appetite has completely changed after completing the hCG diet. With your hypothalamus reset, your metabolism will be different from when you started the hCG diet. Most people are able to eat moderately without feeling the need to overeat. This is the perfect opportunity to adopt a healthy lifestyle to maintain your new weight. People have also reported that just minimum amounts (15-30 minutes of light cardio, Pilates, or yoga) of exercise are sufficient for maintaining a healthy body. Research shows that 75-85% of people who have successfully completed the hCG diet have had hardly any or no difficulty maintaining their new, ideal weight.

Q: Is it possible to continue the hCG diet longer than 43 days?

A: Yes, a lot of people need to do the hCG diet for more than the 43 days to accomplish their weight loss goals. Please contact us and we will go over the best way to continue the hCG diet.
