HCG is extremely safe. All women experience very high levels during the nine months of pregnancy with no adverse effects. The homeopathic (hHCG) form we use for weight loss has absolutely no known side effects.
The hHCG allows your body to bio-modulate its own HCG levels for detoxification and wellness. The prescription HCG is the actual hormone that is derived from pregnant women’s (or sometimes animal) urine. Using the prescription HCG you are injecting someone else’s hormone into your body. We use a sublingual homeopathic formula that you administer under the tongue daily. The benefit to using the hHCG is that it works in unison with your body’s natural hormone and chemical processes ensuring balance. Your body will release as much or as little HCG as you need.
It is well known that during pregnancy, an obese woman can easily lose weight. She can drastically reduce her diet without feeling hunger or discomfort and lose weight without harming the child in her womb. It is also surprising to what extent a woman can suffer from pregnancy-vomiting without causing any real harm. HCG works to mobilize fat for use by the body only when there is a significant decrease in calories and fat. A starvation state must exist for HCG to work. For weight loss, we use a very low-calorie diet to trigger HCG to help rid the body of fat.
Normally when we cut back our calories and fat, our bodies store fat and our metabolism slows down. This happens because fat is really a life saving source of stored energy. When a very low calorie diet is used in conjunction with the HCG, it signals the body to use stored fat for energy and eliminates excess fat reserves, so no ill effects on your metabolism will result. When fat deposits are on the move, the body uses it as fuel, causing a decrease of appetite.
You can lose weight by simply eating fewer calories and fat, but because the body stores fat during times of deprivation, you will mostly lose muscle before fat. This causes cellular metabolism to slow down, so in the long run, it would make gaining weight easier, as well as decrease muscle mass. By using hHCG with the low calorie diet, extra fat is mobilized for energy and the rest is eliminated. The low calorie diet is vital in preventing immediate refilling of emptied fat cells. You benefit by preferentially getting rid of excess fat without affecting your muscle.
HCG allows the body to liquefy fat. Your liquid fat is then available to the body as an energy source. It naturally reduces appetite so even though you are taking in fewer calories, your body can access the energy you have stored in fat cells. After about 2 days, many people notice a significant decrease in their appetite. Overall, most people have plenty of energy and feel good while on the program.
We have seen no negative effects to women’s menstrual cycles. Some women plateau with their weight loss during their menstrual cycle. Let us know if this happens. Some women with irregular cycles due to hormone imbalance have reported that they now have regular cycles. HCG will not affect your ability to become pregnant, nor will it increase your chances of getting pregnant.
While everyone and every body is different, generally you can expect to lose an average of 1/2 -1 lb per day while on the HCG Weight Loss Program.
