Frequently Asked Questions

What is HCG and How Does it Work?

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone naturally produced in the human body. It has many functions and is used medically to treat a variety of conditions.  It is often referred to as the pregnancy hormone, but during pregnancy the levels double every two days. This hormone allows the body to metabolize stored 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.

HCG allows your body to reverse the effect that has kept you from losing the weight you’ve always wanted to lose.  It is normal for the body to want to store and lock excess fat, and your body has a built in tendency to try to keep your present weight and prevent drastic changes.   This is one reason why starvation dieting does not work, you tend to lose muscle mass and the not the fat that you really want to lose.   Increasing HCG levels allows the body to target your locked fat reserve, release energy and lose weight at a more rapid pace.

HCG used in conjunction with a low calorie diet triggers your hypothalamus to mobilize the locked fat out of its storage locations (yes, your hips don’t lie), so that it’s available for use.  This causes thousands of calories that have been locked to be available and to be released as fuel; as a result, you don’t feel tired or hungry with this diet as long as you are getting appropriate amounts of rest.  Your body takes on a new shape because your locked stored fat is now being consumed as fuel; structural fat and muscle tissue are ignored and kept safe.  One to three pounds of weight loss per day without exercise are typical results if you follow the HCG diet protocol we will provide you carefully.

What Happened to the Original Formula? 

You might be wondering what happened to the Original Formula. In spite of the great relationship that we had with our original formula, we had to let it go to make room for even more of our newest formula. There are a few reasons:

1. Our customers have found even greater success with our new formula than with the original formula.
2. The new formula is more concentrated. This means that you get more bang for your buck. It costs you less to get more!
3. The new formula only has to be taken twice/day instead of three times/day. This makes it even more convenient for you.

What is the difference between Homeopathic Drops versus Injections?

Many clients have shown through their results that homeopathic HCG drops are just as effective, and far more convenient, at promoting weight loss as the pharmaceutical injection product that costs a lot more.  It is reported that the homeopathic HCG drops, when combined with the suggested diet, helped users lose unwanted fat, maintain muscle tone and control hunger pains as well, as good as or better than the prescription or retail injections. The pharmaceutical grade product is not as cost effective, but allows for contact with a doctor in the process as well, which is important for some users. Our premium homeopathic product is manufactured in the USA with high quality control oversight.

Keep in mind that:

1. The drops are pain free and used under the tongue
2. The drops are easy to store and hassle free
3. The drops are less expensive than prescription shots
4. The drops do not expire

What does the diet consist of?

Days 1-2. Start taking drops as directed. Gorge yourself with any and all foods that you can. For 2 full days you need to keep yourself feeling stuffed. Eat the fattiest, sugariest, yummiest foods you can find. Have midnight snacks if you can. This step is a very important step because as your body is loading up with HCG your body is getting used to processing large amounts of calories, therefore it will continue to process more calories during the fourth step. If you skip this step you will not lose as much weight as fast.  What a fantastic diet!  Enjoy!

From Day 3 through the end of selected regimen (21, 45 or 60): Take the HCG drops and follow the 500 calorie/day diet in your diet guide provided.  You are not to have sugars or starches for the 3 weeks following your regimen. You are to slowly add sugars and starches back into your diet sensibly the second 3 weeks following your regimen.

While taking the HCG you can only eat 500 calories a day, Doctors call that “starvation”. Without the HCG you would be starving. If you decided to go on this diet without taking the HCG you would;

1. Be very hungry
2. Get easily Fatigued
3. Get the shakes
4. Get dizzy/ lightheaded/ nauseou
5. Worst of all, your body would begin to store all the fat it can, and your body would begin to take nutrients out of your muscles and bone and brain and organs, etc. thus beginning the slow process of killing you.

Eating 500 calories a day while taking the HCG you would;

1. Only have occasional hunger pangs for the first couple days
2. Not get fatigued
3. Have an overall sense of well being.
4. Best of all, the HCG stores all nutrients from the 500 calories into your Bones, muscles and vital organs, and traps all nutrients in those places. Now your body needs to find an extra 1,000-1,500 calories each day to function properly. Well the only source of calories you have left is sitting in your fat. So, that’s what your body uses to eat as food, the 1,000-1,500 calories from your fat, plus the 500 calories you physically eat. That equals 1,500-2,000 calories your body need to thrive and feel great on. 1,000 calories is 1 pound of fat. this why you can loss 40 lbs. in 40 days.

What Are Some Typical Results?

Results will depend on how much weight you have to lose and how well you follow the diet protocol. Most users will lose about a pound or two per day at the beginning and taper down after that.  Some users with more to lose are able to lose a pound a day during the duration of the regimen they select.
