HCG Weight Loss

The HCG Diet was created by Dr. Simeon in 1954. The nature of this approach is a rapid and safe weight loss. The use of HCG does not increase weight loss, but rather favors the loss of weight as fat, resulting in a more favorable remodeling of the body, slower re-gain and improved mood.

The HCG diet has been improved by the addition of the following: DHEA, a hormone which helps burn fat; a weekly injection of Lipovite which not only improves detoxification and energy but turns on fat loss and the incorporation of the new K1 Whole Body Vibration Machine.

How Much Weight Should I Expect To Lose?

There are 3 Programs offered: 4, 8 and 12 week programs. Each program has a 4 week maintenance phase. The expected weight loss is 20, 40 and 60 pounds respectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is HCG?

A. HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It is secreted by the placenta during pregnancy. In early pregnancy HCG helps to increase progesterone in order to maintain the pregnancy.

Q. How long has HCG been used in weight loss?

A. Dr. Simeone first used HCG in 1954. He noted that patients on HCG lost more fat and reshaped their bodies. In the mid 1980s, studies done on HCG failed to demonstrate any advantage over just using a low calorie diet. Eventually the FDA stated that HCG was not indicated for weight loss.

Q. Why is HCG being recommended for my program?

A. Since 1990, there has been a number of studies suggesting that HCG stimulates a greater amount of fat loss and patients on HCG had considerable less irritability.

Q. How does HCG work?

A. HCG seems to increase lipid breakdown and decreases fat formation in the liver and adipose tissue. HCG has a beta endorphin subunit which stimulates the formation of endorphins and raises serotonin levels resulting in an uplifted mood.

Q. How is HCG administered?

A. HCG is a very large protein, therefore it is only absorbable if given by an injection. To date there is inadequate proof of transdermal or sublingual absorption.

Testimonial

"What can I say about the HCG Diet? Well, let me tell you a little about myself first. Growing up I was always the beanpole, able to eat what I want whenever I wanted to. This lasted thru childbearing years and beyond. How many women can have a baby and weigh less than she did before getting pregnant? That was me. That all changed one day when I realized somewhere in the last 25 years I had gained 25 extra pounds. Never having to ever “diet” I was at a loss as to what to do, but Dr. Cole suggested that I try the HCG Weight Loss Program. I must admit that I was intrigued and decided the only thing I had to lose was, well weight. In 6 weeks time I dropped the 25 pounds and have kept it off for almost 2 years now. Not only did I shed the pounds and inches (down 2 pant sizes) but I learned to listen to my body. The program taught me what to eat, how to eat and most importantly how to enjoy what I eat. Besides the weight loss my energy level has risen, my sleep is sound and I don’t get the ups and downs like I use to. Thank you Dr. Cole!"
