What is hCG?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) hormone is a substance which occurs naturally in pregnant women which has the effect of releasing abnormal stored fat
Can both women and men take it?
Yes. It has been used with equally good results in both.
How does hGC and diet work?
During pregnancy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is believed to help insure that the fetus will have access to its mother´s stored fat supply, regardless of the amount of food which she eats. In overweight people, hCG seems to work by the same method - namely that of making available permanently stored supplies of fat, making it possible to adhere to the diet.
Will it effect my appearance?
Because Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) does protect the structural fat, the wrinkling, if any, will be dramatically reduced. The treatment does not deplete the subcutaneous or other essential fat, therefore the face retains its freshness and natural appearance. Double chins, protruding stomachs and fat around the thighs should be the first to go. Stretching of the skin generally causes stretch marks. This can occur with weight gain, not weight loss.
Will I get wrinkles or stretch marks if I lose all this weight?

Will hCG work without a diet?
Although there is no dramatic weight loss without the accompanying diet, hCG usually causes a reduction in inches rather than pounds.
Has this method been used before?
Yes. When first reported in the Medical Journal Lancet in November of 1954, it had been used in thousands of cases. Since then it has been used in many more.
How do you know that the hCG & diet is more effective than just the one?
Unknown to the patient, weak saline solution was substituted for the hCG and weight loss continued for about 3 days. Thereafter, the patients complained of feeling weak or dizzy, became ravenously hungry and declared themselves unable to continue the treatment. As soon as treatment on hCG was resumed, they again felt fit and perfectly satisfied with their diets.
What effect can I expect to have from the injection itself?
Usually a loss of appetite occurs and patients notice that the severe compulsive hunger disappears completely.
Will I gain the weight back once I stop the hCG diet?
Some degree of moderation in eating will be necessary because of the tendency to gain weight after ANY type of weight loss program. However, a FREE stabilizing program is available at the end of the injection series. Stability of the normal weight is relatively easy because the weight loss has been from storage fat and not from structural fat.
What if I miss one or more of the injections?
This merely delays the total effectiveness of the program.
Can I maintain the diet even if I engage in daily physical labor?
Yes. hCG allows you to maintain this diet even during hard work.
What if I get jittery or shaky due to the reduced quantity of food?
This may happen during the first week of your program because it takes approximately 72 hours for the hCG to reach it's highest performance peak for weight loss. So, if you experience hunger between meals during the first 72 hours of your program, eat one piece of fruit or ½ cup of raw vegetables. If this happens later in the program, please speak with your weight loss coach and he or she will evaluate your program and make the necessary adjustments.
Apart from its action on fat, are there any other actions or side effects of hCG?
Yes, there seems to be some stimulation to the generative system. Premenstrual difficulties may be relieved. Abnormal loss of head hair in obese individuals may cease. Brittle fingernails may become normal and professional singers may note an improvement in their voices. Blood pressure tends to normalize, cholesterol readings become normal, and arthritis symptoms are lessened. No adverse reactions to the injections have been experienced.
Do you guarantee that I will lose weight with this method?
No. Guarantees cannot be made, as with any other medical treatment. However, most of our patients have lost an appreciable amount of weight with this program. It is the most effective method we have experienced in weight reduction
What if I do not lose much weight?
Our experience has been that in cases where there is no or slow weight loss, a very common cause is the patient's depressed metabolism. Past dieting, chronic low intake, etc is frequently the cause of this. WE CAN CORRECT THIS. Slow weight loss can also be due to associated medical problems, which should be sought out and corrected. Once this is accomplished, weight loss occurs.
Is hCG approved by the FDA?
hCG is approved by the FDA for various medical conditions. However it has not been specifically determined by the FDA to be effective for weight loss. That being said, several studies have been done with conclusions of its positive effects for weight loss. One study in 1954 that was published in The Lancet, was done by world renowned A. T. W. Simeons, M.D.
