HOW DOES THE HCG DIET WORK?

The HCG Diet is a physician-supervised plan that can help you reach your weight loss goals in a shorter time frame than conventional dieting.

Here's a look at the details of the HCG diet and how the components work to create a fast weight loss experience. 

Daily Injections

The HCG diet consists of daily injections, or sublingual drops of HCG. The injection is similar to the daily injection of insulin a diabetic receives. Only a small amount of HCG is injected using a super-fine needle and syringe.  It is relatively painless and easy to administer. This is the most effective means of delivering the HCG into your body. 

If you absolutely cannot tolerate the thought of giving yourself an injection, there is the option of using sub-lingual drops or tablets. The oral drops and tablets are placed under the tongue.

Diet

In addition to the daily regimen of HCG, a 500-700 calorie a day diet is followed. Initially, those starting the diet have gorge days, then the diet consists of two servings a day each of lean meat, fruits, and vegetables. There are limitations on the types of meat, fruits, and vegetables eaten.

Obviously, anyone would be able to lose weight with a 500-700 calorie diet even if they weren’t getting HCG hormone treatments. However, if you were to cut back to this many calories without the help of HCG, you would be very hungry and lose important muscle tissue as well as fat. This would be a starvation diet: unhealthy and would not leave you with the desired result of a toned body and inches lost in key areas.

Remember, by adding HCG, your body will only use stored fat to function and not breakdown important muscle tissue. There are no age limits, it can be done by both men and women, and overall tolerance to the treatment is as excellent as it is safe. Most patients find weight loss comfortable provided that the prescribed diet is followed meticulously. Even minor deviations may cause unwanted setbacks and a decrease in the amount of weight lost.

Beware of Illegal HCG Products Sold Over-the-Counter or Online

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently issued warning letters to seven companies that market and sell over-the-counter weight loss products containing the hormone HCG asking that they stop selling and marketing these unapproved drugs.

As an Arizona wellness company that uses HCG in some of our weight loss programs, we believe that the FDA and FTC are right in doing this and we hope this brings the dangers of buying HCG products online or over-the-counter to light.

HCG is a hormone that is FDA – approved as a prescription injection drug.  Just like any prescription, you need a doctor approving the need and overseeing the treatment and utilization of that prescription drug. There have been studies that suggest that HCG can absorb excessive fat tissue and when done and supervised correctly, the HCG 500-700 calorie diet can and has produced dramatic and healthy weight loss results for our patients. Simply put, HCG spares the muscle tissue but gets rid of fat. That combined with the low-calorie diet make the HCG 500-700 calorie diet extremely effective. Transformyou has a very hands-on approach to the HCG diet as well. We work with patients weekly to ensure their continued progress and health. Patients that choose the HCG 500-700 calorie diet after meeting with Dr. Bird also are given educational guides and tracking documents to help them throughout the diet.

HCG products sold online or in-stores are not approved for weight loss. First of all, these types of products are unsafe. Some of these products contain large amounts of HCG, others only trace amounts. Consumers aren’t educated on this and might be putting harmful levels of a hormone into their system or purchasing something that will have very little effect. Second, in cases where HCG products are bought online or in-stores, there is no doctor present to oversee treatment and utilization of the drug.
