The calorie restricted diet with HCG is a medical weight loss program that helps you shed body fat, maintain lean muscle, and achieve a more appealing and healthy body. This program targets your unwanted body fat, leaving you looking and feeling great. It offers success where many weight loss programs offer only discouragement and failure.
The use of HCG in weight loss programs was developed over 50 years ago by a British physician named Dr. A.T.W. Simeons. Dr. Simeon’s protocol was brought to the attention of the public by Kevin Trudeau in his 2007 book, “The Weight Loss Cure ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About.” It has been successfully used in Europe for more than 50 years for both men and women.
The HCG protocol consists of a low calorie diet – 500 calories per day – along with regular treatments of HCG – either injected (most common) or orally (drops under the tongue). The combination of the low calorie diet and HCG is what makes this program so successful for weight loss.
HCG is a prescription item. In a low calorie diet program, HCG helps to preserve your lean muscle and your basal metabolic rate. Dr. Simeon has stated that it resets your hypothalamus gland.
The HCG dieter can lose up to 1 pound of body weight per day while on the HCG calorie restricted diet. The total loss can vary but most HCG dieters are successful in losing significant body fat. See testimonials and see weight loss projections below.

Weekly Weigh-Ins: Check your progress and meet with one of our health care staff to discuss your program and success or difficulties. Plus each of the following:
Each of the following should be taken as directed:
- Pharmaceutical Grade Multi-Vitamin. Take two capsules daily. By taking our Natural Multi-Vitamin Formula, you are assured of having a solid foundation of nutritional support. This formula uses the best vitamin and mineral ingredients available, formulated into a hypoallergenic super-supplement. Taking two capsules daily with Lipo-BC provides effective nutritional support.
- Magnesium Potassium. Patients will be required to take magnesium potassium tablets (one to two tablets daily). The reason for this is because fat is lost through urine and there is a diuretic effect with HCG. The potassium helps to maintain energy, prevents dehydration and any lightheadedness the patient may feel as a result of delayed blood pressure auto-regulation due to a rapid loss of fluid.
- Cleanse Max. This is a two part liver and colon support system. It uses natural ingredients to promote healthy detoxification. Cleanse Max supports cleansing of the colon and detoxification of the liver.
- Lipo-Plex, B12, B6, B1, Inositol/Choline Injection. Each client receives a total of six injections. Thereafter, they may request additional injections.

HCG INFORMATION
What is HCG?
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone naturally produced in large quantity during pregnancy. HCG is used in infertility treatment for both men and women. During pregnancy, this hormone acts as the primary control for the woman's metabolic functions. It partially explains why some overweight women actually lose weight during pregnancy. HCG is used in infertility treatment in very large quantities.
Dr. ATW Simeons found that small regular doses of HCG caused the body to release abnormal fat when used in conjunction with a specific 500 calorie daily diet. This is detailed in Dr. Simeons manuscript Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity. HCG is used to treat medical conditions in males, including low testosterone levels.
How much weight will I lose with the HCG diet?
Most HCG dieters report a loss of ½ to ¾ lbs per day. Many lose up to 1 lb. per day and a few lose more. Females should expect to lose 20 to 30 lbs. during the 40 day program. Men typically may lose 30 to 40 lbs. during the 40 day program. Strict compliance with the program is required to achieve these results.
Factors that may increase weight loss include adding/increasing vegetable intake and mixing salad with each meal. Fiber intake is extremely important, as is water intake. A key to success is the expertise of the clinic staff in individualizing the program for each person. Since this is a prescription item, do not be fooled by “homeopathic HCG” or long distance marketers who are not qualified to perform medical weight loss.
What preparations are required for HCG diet shots?
Prior to treatment, your physician or practitioner will request blood tests and perform a general health assessment. Your CMP (complete metabolic panel), CBC (complete blood count) and Thyroid profile (free T3, free T4 and TSH) are measured. Other blood tests may be ordered to determine if medical conditions such as PCOS exist.
Blood pressure is measured. An extensive In-Body Body Composition Analysis is also performed (at least twice) to document the amount of excess body fat, water intake, BMI, Percent of Body Fat, and amount of lean muscle. This analysis will also ensure you are losing fat not muscle and that your basal metabolic rate does not decrease -- it may even increase. Other low calorie diets cause a significant loss of muscle mass, a decrease in the basal metabolic rate, fatigue and skin laxity – and the weight is eventually regained.
Do I have to buy diet foods?
You will eat fresh food that you buy from the grocery store. We provide a detailed list of the foods that you can eat (with calorie counts) while on the 40 day protocol. Most of our clients do purchase the protein drinks we offer to assist them during the protocol.
Is it healthy to lose weight rapidly? Will my skin become wrinkled, loose?
Most of the weight loss with the restricted diet with HCG comes directly from fat and does not strip the body of much needed muscle, vitamins or minerals essential to maintain good health. At the same time, excessive amounts of fat-stored nutrients are released into the blood stream to be absorbed by the body. For this reason, HCG dieters typically report that they feel good on the program and do not have hunger pangs or cravings. They also experience a significant improvement in their cholesterol profile, their sleep quality, and insulin. Our program measures lipid profiles (cholesterol) when you start the program and when you finish. Health risks from being overweight are reduced as much as 50% with even a 10% decrease in body fat.
Skin stays healthy and skin elasticity is not affected in part because muscle is preserved. Some bariatric surgeons have been reported to use HCG after surgery to help prevent skin looseness (elasticity).
Why the 500 calorie diet - VLCD (very low calorie diet)?
HCG diet shots cause your body to mobilize the fat out of the fat storage locations so that it’s available for use. While you are only consuming 500 calories, your hypothalamus is signaling for the release of the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually using thousands of calories a day from your fat.
The HCG allows your body to tap into your body’s abnormal fat deposits (shoulders, upper arms, hips, thighs, and buttocks). In overweight and obese clients, these deposits are not usually accessible to the body for fat consumption. The HCG present in the body allows these abnormal fat deposits to be tapped, releasing the abnormal fat into the blood stream and out of the body. This release of fat is also why clients taking the HCG are not hungry.
Caution: Because you are on a low calorie diet, it is essential that you be under the care of a physician. A low calorie diet has its own health risks.
Why add HCG?
Dr. Simeons, the physician who developed the HCG Weight Loss Cure Protocol, stated: ”When an obese patient tries to reduce by starving himself, he will first lose his normal fat reserves. When these are exhausted he begins to burn up structural fat, and only as a last resort will the body yield its abnormal reserves, though by that time the patient usually feels so weak and hungry that the diet is abandoned.”
It is for this reason that overweight and obese patients complain that when they diet that they lose the “wrong fat.” They usually feel like they are in fact starving and they feel tired. Their face becomes drawn and haggard and their skin wrinkled and loose. Fat areas, including the belly, hips, thighs and upper arms, show little improvement. The fat they want to lose stays and the fat they need to cover their bones gets less and less. The dieter can look older and unhealthy. As noted by Dr. Simeon: “The HCG allows your body to tap into your body’s abnormal fat deposits.” It also preserves both muscle and the basal metabolic rate.
Will I be hungry on 500 calories a day?
It is common to experience mild hunger during the first few days. This should pass within a few days. By the 2nd week, you will find even very tiny servings, to be satisfying. This is partly due to your hypothalamus adjusting your metabolic rate, but largely due to the amount of calories circulating in your system from the fat being released. It is common that HCG dieters feel as though they are stuffing themselves in order to reach that 500 calorie limit!
Notice: If hunger continues, Lifetime Health Weight Loss can offer natural appetite suppressants and/or prescriptions appetite suppressants to help alleviate any issues.
Who is a candidate for HCG Diet Shots?
The majority of men and women can use HCG injections for weight loss. However, note that HCG is a prescription hormone and should be supervised and monitored by a physician or other qualified medical person in a clinic setting. Health issues can occur if a person is using HCG with a very low calorie restricted diet.
Calorie restricted diets can result in Ketosis. Generally, this is not a problem as ketosis means that our bodies are using fat for energy. However, in certain circumstances, this can lead to ketoacidosis.
Note that the Physician will NOT permit HCG weight loss injections for women who are pregnant or nursing. Lab tests are essential and weekly check-ups are recommended for both weight loss and health reasons. Hormonal issues and health conditions must be considered to ensure success.
A physician should always determine if you are a candidate for a calorie restricted diet with HCG or if you have special health risks that must be monitored.
How about safety and side effects of HCG Diet Shots?
Side effects are rare when a calorie restricted diet with HCG is used in a physician supervised and monitored weight loss program. Special risks that can be addressed by a physician include diabetes, clients on blood pressure medicines, certain clients with PCOS or gallbladder disease, all offer. HCG shots are used for fertility reasons and in these larger amount is known to cause occasional headaches, and pregnancy symptoms. However, the amount used for the HCG diet protocol is very small and the amount used for used for fertility purposes is very large. In either case, HCG is a hormone and can have hormonal effects.
Will I gain the weight back after the HCG diet?
After the calorie restricted (low calorie) diet with HCG is completed, you will find that your appetite has changed, your eating behavior has changed and your body has changed. This is the perfect opportunity to adopt that healthy lifestyle to maintain your weight. Further, at Lifetime Health Weight Loss, we continue your program with our “Metabolic Reset Diet” that helps to set your appetite hormone (Leptin), so that your weight loss can be permanent. We also offer hormone therapy, where appropriate, to address the underlying cause of many weight loss issues – hormone imbalance.
With your hypothalamus reset, your metabolism will be different and you will be able to eat moderately without feeling the need to overeat. However, it is always recommended that you maintain a regular exercise program for 30 to 45 minutes per day with two days of resistance training each week (20 to 30 minutes). This routine and a healthy diet will help ensure your health and weight.
What is the hypothalamus gland?
The hypothalamus gland moderates the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage, and more importantly, your metabolic rate. It also is the location of the appetite hormone leptin.
Is HCG safe for men?
The HCG used for the HCG weight loss protocol is actually already found in men. It is present in every human tissue, including males and non-pregnant women as well as pregnant women. It is used in higher amounts to treat specific male medical conditions.
How painful are HCG injections for weight loss?
The HCG injections for weight loss are administered using a very fine insulin needle and are essentially painless. Most people say they are either painless or offer minor discomfort. The needles are used daily by diabetics. Creams and drops are available.
WARNING: There are many online services and toll free services offering HCG injections and/or HCG drops for home use without medical supervision. Their products may be termed “Homeopathic HCG.” They generally offer a disclaimer and recommend that you consult a physician before starting any program. They are betting of course, that you do not consult a physician and will often state that if you are in “good health” you do not need a physician. These are not prescription HCG. Further, risks associated with a 500 calorie diet are significant and sometimes of critical concern.
There are also businesses claiming expertise in weight loss and/or hormone therapy when in fact they have been in business only a short time. Further, some out of state clinics list local lab draw sites as their locations. Due diligence is important.
