Prescription HCG Diet Frequently Asked Questions

What is HCG?

Your body naturally produces many different kinds of hormones; among these naturally occurring hormones is the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone, simply referred to as HCG, a hormone that increases your body's ability to metabolize fat for energy among many other needs.

 

How does HCG Work?

HCG was first identified in pregnant women as a hormone released by the body to metabolize fat for energy for both the mother and the maturing fetus. It was later discovered by Dr. Simeons, that in prescribed doses HCG offers the same fat-converting benefits to both men and women trying to lose weight. The presence of HCG does NOT "trick" your body into thinking it is pregnant, it simply provides your body with a hormone that increases your ability to metabolize and convert fat into needed energy.

Is HCG Safe to Use for Weight Loss?

HCG has proven to be safe to use for weight loss when used properly and under a licensed physicians care. To ensure the safety of HCG prescribed for weight loss, countless studies were conducted to identify potential harmful affects of HCG. These studies found no adverse affects. Additionally, we can look to our own bodies to learn more about the safety of this naturally occurring hormone. Not only do the levels of HCG often increase dramatically in pregnant women without harm to the mother or child, HCG actually aids during the entire pregnancy.

While it is true that there are no known clinical side effects to prescription HCG, it is still recommended that all HCG users consult at licensed physician prior to use and remain under the physicians care while using HCG. Additionally us or a medical professional should be contacted immediately if any of the following occur; dizziness, difficulty breathing, swelling or redness.

Can Men Use HCG?

Because the HCG hormone occurs naturally in men, it is perfectly safe for men to use. Studies and customer results indicate that men often respond more favorably even resulting in quicker weight loss and more weight lost.

 

 

If HCG is so Effective, why don't Pregnant Women Lose Weight?

HCG gets the 'green light' to mobilize fat for energy conversion only when there is a substantial decrease in fat and calorie intake. Because pregnant women are encouraged to maintain healthy diets the only cue HCG receives is to maintain.

 

Will a Low Calorie Diet Slow Down My Metabolism?

It has been theorized that without the use of HCG, low calorie diets can slow down your metabolism as your body clings to the energy found in stored fat (starvation mode). However, when combined with HCG a low calorie diet will not slow down your metabolism. HCG sends signals to your body to actually use this stored fat by converting it to energy. In this way excess fat reserves are eliminated. HCG prevents your body from entering starvation mode as your metabolism is reset for greater effectiveness.

 

Why Do I Need HCG? Can't I Just Reduce My Fat and Calorie Intake?

Of course you can lose weight by simply ingesting fewer calories and fewer grams of fat but it is not always the right kind of weight and because of such it is more likely to return or cause other health issues. When your body is deprived of fat and calories it begins storing what little it receives and begins to use muscle and bone resulting in cellular metabolism. By using HCG with a low calorie, low fat diet your body doesn't realize it is being deprived and continues to metabolize fat for energy rather than bone or muscle. In short, HCG helps allow you to lose the right weight and keep it off.

 

Will I Always Feel Hungry with the Low Calorie HCG Diet?

Not necessarily, however it is common to experience some hunger during the first few days as your body adjusts to the HCG and the new diet. Our formulas and instructions have been scientifically designed to get your body the exact amount of nutrition it needs during the low calorie diet (low calorie diet). In general, this should pass by the end of the week and servings will be satisfying. As HCG mobilizes fat as an energy source for the body it naturally reduces the appetite. Most prescription HCG dieters feel little to no hunger pains during the diet.

 

Can I Take HCG with Other Medications Including Birth Control and Depo-Provera?

Because Prescription HCG is a natural hormone found in your body, it should NOT interact adversely with ANY medication including Depo-Provera or birth control. However, it is still recommended that you first consult your doctor and tell us in your medial questionnaire what medications you are on to ensure this diet is for you and when you do your consultation please tell the doctor about all and potential drugs or medications you may take or be taking now.

 

Will HCG Change My Menstrual Cycle?

Prescription HCG is prescribed in appropriate doses to help ensure that there will be no changes to your menstrual cycle, however sometimes it or dieting alone can effect a woman's cycle. It is recommended that you should delay the diet if you are within 5-6 days of your menstrual period. After you have completed your menstrual period you can then begin the diet. We also recommend that you consult your physician if this is in any way a concern.

 

Can I Take HCG While Pregnant or if Becoming Pregnant?

Do not take HCG while you are pregnant or if you may become pregnant. If during the HCG diet you become pregnant, stop taking HCG and consult your medical professional.

 

Why Do Some People Call HCG the "Weight Loss Cure"?

Often HCG is called the "Weight Loss Cure" because not only does it deliver where other weight loss systems can not, it is said to reprogram your body to effectively use stored fat when deprived of calories. Because of such, you can better maintain your weight without regaining the pounds you lost. 

The HCG Diet is still an on going research and testing diet. Even though it has been around since the 1950's, there are still unknowns to exactly how and why its works and even with 100's of thousands of testimonials today there is still no clinical proof as to how hCG works and effects the body. We recommend that you only use it and purchase it under physician care.

 

How Much Weight Can I Anticipate Losing?

In general, majority of people have been able to lose on average 1 pound per day. Of course everyone is different and many factors play a role, but a minimum of .5 to over 1 pound per day days seems to be fairly consistent. It is essential that you have at least 12-pounds to lose to do the program and you can experience up to 1-2 pound weight loss per day.

 

Will I Continue Lose Weight after the First 2 weeks?

Typically HCG users will experience significant weight loss during the first week followed by a brief leveling of weight loss. The HCG diet not only targets pounds but also inches and continues to help your body shed inches during this apparent leveling off. Towards the end of the diet users experience another decrease that is represented on the scale. It is in this tier-style fashion that weight and inches are lost over the program.

 

Is It Okay to Skip Meals or Protein?

No. The diet is designed specifically to react in the most effective way with your body and changing it can decrease effectiveness and possibly create health complications. It is crucial for all HCG Diet users to eat all the recommended calories and protein exactly how our instructions say.

 

Is It Okay to Exercise while on the HCG Diet?

No. Exercise is strongly discouraged. If you feel you must exercise, please be aware it is not recommended and please keep low key. Please do not exceed 20 minutes of light exercise. Combining a low calorie diet with exercise has the potential to put your body into starvation mode. In starvation mode, diet and exercise are counterproductive.

 

 

Should I Take Vitamins while on the HCG Diet?

The Prescription HCG Diet Direct™ plan requires that all participants take our Ultimate Vitamin B Sublingual™ and our HCG Diet Metabolizer and Energy Formula™ or a daily multi-vitamin. However it is recommended that your multi-vitamin be free of fat soluble ingredients such fish oils or vitamin D unless you are under physician care do do so. It is also recommended that users take Potassium (which is in our formula above) if they experience leg cramps. HCG diet users can also use a calcium/magnesium combo if needed. Everything you should need comes in each weight loss kit provided on this site.

 

Is a Headache Normal During the First Week?

During the first week as your body rapidly releases fat cells it is not uncommon to experience a headache. Because of these rapid releases your body is in a deep detox stage, which can cause headaches to some people. This can generally be attended to with Aspirin or Tylenol but please avoid sugar coated pills if possible. If another product is only thing that will get rid of your headache please do so that you are comfortable and well.

 

Can I Take The Prescription HCG Diet Direct™ plan for More Than 26 Days? If So, Will I Continue Losing Weight?

Yes, you can continue using our HCG diet plan up to 40 days and expect to see weight loss. However, it is essential that the HCG diet session does not extend beyond 40 days. Users who want to do another HCG diet session are safe to do so but it is important do a maintenance phase and to have the Prescription HCG absent from the body for the same number of days it was present in the body before beginning another session to ensure your body does not become immune to it. In short, 40 days on, 40 days off.

20 days is the recommended least number of days individuals should plan on being on the HCG diet, 40 is the most. It is important to note that the last 3 days of a session do not require HCG and continue on the low calorie instructions for 3 days after your session has ended to ensure the HCG has been flushed out of your system before going into maintenance. At this point exercise is no longer discouraged and individuals should adopt a 1500-1700/day calorie diet.

 

Can I Divide My Fruits to Eat Throughout the Day?

Yes, this is perfectly acceptable. Many people find that their 2 fruits make excellent snacks throughout the day. If you feel this system works better for you, you are encouraged to use it.

 

Is It Okay to Drink Alcohol while Using HCG?

The original HCG diet protocol as created by Dr. Simeons did not address use of alcohol. However, it has been found that individuals who are heavy drinkers prior to implementing the diet do surprising well. This is primarily due to the HCG working with the hypothalamus gland, the gland that regulates one's desire to eat and drink and can potentially adjust drinking routines. We do not recommend Drinking alcohol on the HCG diet however HCG dieters have been known to partake one or 2 here and there and have still lost a substantial amount of weight but most likely not as much as they could have with out the use of alcohol.

Can I Wear Makeup While on the HCG Diet?

The HCG Diet process is very sensitive to fats, oils and creams. Because of such, lotions, oils and similar applications are not recommended. Due to their reaction with process they could potentially slow the weight loss process down. Mineral makeup, pressed powders and other oil-free foundations are acceptable. Other kinds of eye makeup and lipstick are also acceptable. However, lip glosses and chap sticks should be avoided as much as possible. If you experience dry lips while on the diet we recommend Carmex®. Baby oil is also an acceptable moisturizer.
