HCG FAQ

What is HCG?

- It is a hormone produced in large amounts by pregnant women, which ensures that the

baby has everything necessary to develop normally, even if mom is in a famine.

- It is produced by both men and women in trace amounts

How does the diet work?

- Because the hormone is continually releasing energy from your fat reserves, it is possible

to only eat 500 calories/day without feeling hungry, dropping your metabolism, or losing

muscle mass. It only burns fat.

- The hormone itself does not dissolve the fat, but it makes the very low-calorie diet

possible, and that dissolves your fat.

- Your metabolism is “reset” making it possible for your body to maintain your new weight!

Is it safe?

- HCG has been used for weight loss for more than 60 years.

- It is extremely safe, when used appropriately

- It is safe to use in both men and women

- It may improve fertility or ease the symptoms of perimenopause and low Testosterone

- Many patients have decreased their risk factors and medications, making them healthier

and more likely to live long and healthy lives!

or DVT. Tell your doctor if you have any immune conditions or history of cancer.

would like to lose.

weighed and measured.

“lock in” your body’s changes.

Disclaimer: HCG has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for

adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity and states that there is no substantial evidence that HCG

increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or

“normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted

diets.
