About The Diet:
Patients can lose up to 26 lbs in 26 days or 40 lbs. in 40 days if they follow the diet as directed--some people lose more, some people lose less. But one will definitely lose fat and weight on this regimen without heavy exercise or without frozen or prepared foods to buy.
The HCG Diet is based off Dr. Simeons’ “Pounds & Inches - A New Approach to Obesity” and was previously only available in spas and weight loss clinics which made access to the diet unaffordable for most. With its track record of success and safety it is now being prescribed by progressive physicians all over the world. Dr. Center and Dr. Silva offer patients the classic Simeon protocol as the track record is so good—failures are extremely rare.
HCG = Human Chorionic Gonadotropin:
HCG is produced naturally in the human body and works directly with the hypothalamus gland. This gland actually controls body fat, emotions, and helps to develop the reproductive organs during puberty. Each and every person is given their life time supply of HCG at birth. Unfortunately most American food has been overloaded with chemicals. These chemicals act to remove HCG from your body.
Candida yeast overgrowth can be another common reason people lose HCG. This overgrowth is a result of an imbalance in the digestive system. If you have ever in your life, taken antibiotics (especially without probiotics) there is a high chance you have an imbalance.
*** HCG has nothing to do with HGH (human growth hormone) although they sound similar!
HCG Diet Frequently Asked Questions:
What is HCG and how does it work?
HCG is a hormone naturally produced in the body. It has many functions and is used medically to treat a variety of conditions. It is the pregnancy hormone—during pregnancy thousands of units are produced each day. This hormone allows the body to metabolize fat and use it as energy for both mother and fetus. This acts as a “fail-safe” mechanism when energy is needed immediately. For weight loss, we use only a very small amount of HCG to capitalize on this same mechanism. Using HCG in this way does not mimic pregnancy; in fact, it can be safely used by both men and women.
