Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, a specialist on obesity and weight regulation, introduced a program that has helped many people overcome weight loss resistance. The program utilizes a natural hormone that is produced during pregnancy called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). Dr. Simeons' theory is that HCG causes the hypothalamus area of the brain to trigger a release of abnormal fat stores. When administered in relatively small doses and coupled with a very low calorie diet, people routinely lose 1 to 2 pounds per day.

HCG has helped thousands of people lose those stubborn pounds. In addition to weight loss, many patients who have completed the HCG program also experienced many other health benefits, including a drop in cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar.

The hypothalamus is a part of the diencephalon area of our brain. This is the vital part of the brain which controls all of the autonomic functions of the body, including breathing, heart beat, digestion, sleep and the complex functions of the endocrine system. One of the many functions of the endocrine system is regulation and control of your metabolism and weight.

Although HCG is naturally produced only in pregnant women, as a diet aid it works the same for men and women, Occasionally someone finds that it doesn't work as effectively for them as it does for most people. Just like with any drug or medication, or even with food (e.g., allergies), there is individual variation in its efficacy. Everyone is familiar with the fact that doctors often have to change people's medications because they don't respond as expected. So although HCG is effective for the great majority of people who try it, there is no guarantee that it will work for everyone. That's why we have our guarantee: If you buy HCG from us and it doesn't work for you, we don't want your money. Unlike doctors who don't refund a dime to you for treatments that don't work, if you aren't happy with your purchase from us we'll give your money back.

HCG appears to act on the hypothalamus, signaling the body to release stored fat into the bloodstream where it is then available to be used by the cells for nourishment. This alone will not cause weight loss, though, unless you reduce your food intake. This forces the body to use the mobilized fat from the bloodstream. HCG causes the release of abnormal fat without affecting structural fat and muscle tissue. Which means you lose in those stubborn areas--hips, thighs, buttocks and upper arms!

Yes. You must follow the entire HCG Diet Protocol as described in Dr. Simeons' manuscript, "Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity", where he outlines a special 500-calorie-per-day diet that was tested on thousands of patients. HCG is only effective for weight loss if it is taken while strictly following Dr. Simeons' HCG Diet Protocol, including the 500 calorie diet. Taking HCG alone (without the diet) will not cause you to lose weight. HCG takes effect when you reduce your food intake so that the mobilized fat will be used for your body's energy needs. If you fail to follow the diet you will fail to lose weight. If you only follow the diet without taking HCG, you are simply starving yourself because there is no fat in the bloodstream to burn. Simply put, both are required. Also see the next two questions.

In order to answer this question you need to understand how the body stores and uses fat. Dr. Simeons identified three separate fat stores:

1. Normal fat: This type of fat can be likened to a checking account from which the body can easily draw energy or deposit it as needed. Normal fat doesn't take a lot of effort to lose.

2. Structural fat: Pads the various organs, protects the arteries and cushions the bony prominences. You don't ever want to lose this fat. It is vital to your health and well being. Yet, on the typical "starvation" diet, this is the fat you lose when the normal fat is depleted.

3. Abnormal fat: This is much like a bank safe deposit box, where fat is stored and basically locked away. This fat is very difficult to lose via exercise and calorie restriction, but with the help of HCG the body readily pulls fat from these "last resort" fat stores.

Bottom line: If you go on a 500-calorie diet without HCG, the body uses the normal fat and then starts to use the structural fat and muscle. Losing your structural fat and muscle tissue can adversely affect your health and well-being. In addition, "starvation" diets without HCG can cause you to be excessively hungry, which is typically not true for those using HCG drops on Dr. Simeons' special 500-calorie schedule. This is not just a VLCD (very-low-calorie-diet). See next question.

On HCG, the vast majority of our customers indicate they were either not hungry (unlike other diets where they were starving), or they felt in control and surprisingly little hunger and had plenty of energy. That aligns perfectly with Dr. Simeons' theories about the fat-releasing properties of HCG; in essence, HCG is helping you get the majority of energy and calories from stored fat instead of only food in your stomach. Everyone is different -- and some report mild hunger in the first week as their body adjusts -- but it has become very clear that the Healthy HCG diet plan is something very special, something out of the ordinary. It is most definitely NOT just a "500-calorie diet". In addition, the HCG diet starts with a "gorging" phase, which helps load the body with calories to use during transition into the low-calorie phase. People who faithfully follow the protocol as outlined by Dr. Simeons in our materials, and stick to it will see fantastic results. We encourage you to TRY it (we have a money-back guarantee) and see for yourself.

No. Exercise is not a mandatory part of the program. While vigorous exercise may increase the amount of weight you lose while on this plan, it is not a significant increase and is not recommended, because on a 500 calorie diet you can easily become too exhausted. That leads to discouragement and frustration. However, we do recommend moderate activity for all of the other benefits you receive, including stress relief and cardiovascular health.

If you are already accustomed to exercising at a certain level and would like to continue, do so, but do not over do it. Pay attention to your body's response. Scale down the intensity of the workouts if: (1) you don't have the energy to get through it; (2) you start feeling ill or light headed; (3) you gain weight the next day; or (4) you don't have the energy to get through the day after you work out.

Our suggestion for those who want to exercise is that you walk for 20 to 30 minutes daily. Walking is great exercise and contributes to your health in a variety of ways. It helps relieve stress, keeps the bowels moving, conditions your cardiovascular system, and encourages better blood/oxygen circulation. When you are are finished with the HCG diet regimen and are back on a regular diet you can then pick up the intensity of your exercise routines.

Dr. Simeons dosage is 125 IU to 175 per day

Kevin Trudeau book says 175 IU - 200 IU Per day

A popular injection dose is .4 cc per day with a 175UI mix, using one 5000IU HCG Ampoule. There is no waste with this dosage (30 day diet /28 injections/ 2 days for HCG to exit the body / 30 day total)

Formula

Take the number of days you want to be on the HCG diet and multiply it by Potency of the injection. (Number of Days) x (175IU) This gives you the total amount of HCG international units you will need to order. (Number of days) X 300 if you intend to take it sublingually.

Example: (if plan to inject) 28 days x 175UI = 4900IU .. You would buy one 5000 IU ampoule

HCG comes in 2000IU, 5000IU, and10000IU (IU=international units).I recommend the rubber top 5000 IU vials known as HCG (Hucog, Ovidac and Corion) because they have a rubber seal, the other type requires breaking the top off the glass ampoule vial

One HCG 5000IU ampoule vial is will make a solution that is good for 28 to 33 injections, or 15 days of sublingual mixture. You will lose 1 to 3 pounds per day but take note that men lose more than women.

HCG stands for Human chorionic gonadotropin, which is the hormone produced by pregnant women. In recent years it has also become known as a weight loss treatment that many believe helps to shed extra pounds. Though there are no official studies to substantiate these claims, many people still use HCG as a method of losing weight HCG is injected it into a muscle in the body. However, keep in mind that the administration of HCG must be supervised by a medical professional to prevent any complications.

1. Step 1

Determine the dosage of HCG that is right for you. Most people use between 175 i.u. (international units, a standard unit of measurement for vitamins, hormones, vaccines and some medications) and 200 i.u. per injection from a 5000 i.u. ampoule of HCG. The precise measurement of one i.u. differs depending on the substance.

2. Step 2

Clean the area where you plan to mix the HCG with bleach or alcohol, and allow it to air dry. The area must be completely sterile before you begin. Also, make sure that you scrub your hands clean before you begin.

3. Step 3

Open the HCG powder ampoule and wipe the top with an alcohol pad. Also, wipe the top of the sterile water bottle with an alcohol pad. You can purchase sterile water at any local pharmacy. Withdraw 25 cc (1mL = 1 cc) of sterile water from the bottle using a sterile needle. Discard the used needle from the syringe and replace it with a new one.

4. Step 4

5. Step 5

Inject the remaining 24 cc of sterile water into the sterile glass vial. Then, withdraw 1 cc of HCG from its vial and inject into the sterile glass vial containing the 24 cc of water. You should now have 25 doses of 1 mL doses ready for injection.

Two 5000IU HCG(Hucog, Ovidac and Corion) ampoule mixed with liquid Vitamin B-12 will make enough mixture for 30 days.
Three 5000IU HCG(Hucog, Ovidac and Corion) ampoule mixed with liquid Vitamin B-12 will make enough mixture for 45 days.

Required: 5000IU HCG, sterile cap style mixing vials, large mixing syringe, 1cc dosage syringes, alcohol pads, liquid vitamin B-12, colloidal silver or high proof vodka or rum can be substituted colloidal silver.

STEP 1

Wash your hands with soap and water and prepare a clean work area, you can go the extra mile by disinfecting the area with Lysol. Bring all your required supplies to the work area. Stir or shake up your B-12 and colloidal silver.

STEP 2

Depending on the brand of HCG you have you will ether remove the cap from the HCG(Hucog, Ovidac and Corion) then clean the rubber top seal with an alcohol pad, or if you have the glass HCG ampoule you will clean it with the alcohol pad and then you will break off the top by giving it a quick snap away from you. Note HCG sometimes comes with a second vial, it contains liquid, you will not use this other vial and you can discard it.

STEP 3

You will use the large mixing syringe to draw out 14cc's of liquid B-12(stir before use) and inject it into a clean mixture vial. After you have added the correct amount of liquid B-12 to the mixing vial you will then use the large mixing needle and draw out 1 cc of colloidal silver( stir before use) or substitute high proof vodka and inject it into the HCG 5000 UI ampoule. Stir the HCG ampoule gently until the powder completely dissolves, do not shake. Then use the mixing syringe to draw out the 1 ml of reconstituted HCG from the ampoule and inject the reconstituted HCG into your mixture vial that contains the liquid B-12, and then stir gently.

Example: 14ML of liquid B-12 added to mixture vial 1ML of high proof vodka added to 5000IU HCG ampoule then drawn out and injected into the large mixing vial totaling 15 ML of liquid sublingual HCG mixture.

STEP 1

Wash your hands with soap and water and prepare a work area that is clean, you can go the extra mile by disinfecting your work area with Lysol.

STEP 2

Depending on the brand of HCG you have you will ether remove the cap from the HCG (Hucog, Ovidac or Corion) then clean the rubber seal top with alcohol pad, or if you have the glass HCG ampoule you will clean it with the alcohol pad and then break the top off of it by giving it a quick snap away from you. You can use the wrapper of the alcohol pad to protect your fingers when breaking the top of the ampoule. Take the alcohol pad and clean the rubber seal top of the bacteriostatic water and the rubber seal top on the vial that you will be putting the HCG mixture into. Note: HCG sometimes comes with a second vial, it contains a liquid, you will not use this other vial, and you can discard it.

STEP 3

You will use the large mixing syringe to draw out the pre-determined amount of bacteriostatic water to put in the mixture vial (see mixing formulas at the bottom of this page to get your amount and minus one ML for reconstituting HCG). After you have added correct amount of bacteriostatic water to the mixing vial you will then use the large mixing needle and draw out 1 ML of bacteriostatic water and inject it into the HCG ampoule. Stir the HCG ampoule gently until the powder dissolves, do not shake, it will dissolve completely. Then use the mixing syringe to draw out the 1 ml of reconstituted HCG from the ampoule, inject the reconstituted HCG into your mixture vial that contains the bacteriostatic water, and then stir gently. Example: 10.40ML of bacteriostatic water added to mixture vial then 1ML of bacteriostatic water added to 5000IU HCG ampoule then drawn out and added to the mixing vial totaling 11.40 ML of HCG mixture

You can also use two 10 cc vials instead of one 20ml vial. 4.7 ML of bacteriostatic water would be added to each separate mixing vial. Two ML of bacteriostatic water added to the 5000HCG ampoule, stir the mix, and then draw out one ML for each vial. Scroll to the bottom for more dosage and mixing formulas.

Note: you need to keep the pressures in the ampoules and mixture vials neutral. If you do not do this, it becomes difficult to draw out the fluid.

Example: Pull back on the syringe plunger to draw up an amount of air equal to the amount of that will be extracted and inject the air in before you extract the liquid out, this keeps the pressure in the mixing container equal.

After you have mixed, put the HCG mixture vial in your refrigerator, after mixing it is good for 30 to 40 days. Do not mix more than you will use. You can inject the amount you feel best suits, just mix the HCG with the correct amount of bacteriostatic water to get the dosage correct.

Most people inject dosage strength of 150 IU to 175 IU per day, do not exceed 200 IU per day. Most people don't inject more than .5 cc with these potency strengths. A popular injection dose is .4 cc per day with a 175UI mix, using one 5000IU HCG Ampoule. There is no waste with this dosage (30 day diet /28 injections/ 2 days for HCG to exit the body / 30 day total)

28 injections if you buy one HCG 5000UI Ampoule, add 8 injections if you add one extra HCG1500UI (36 total)

One 5000IU HCG(HUCOG, OVIDAC or CORION) vial mixed with11.42 ML of sterile bacteriostatic water = 28 injections( .4cc) of 175IU potency

One 1500IU HCG (HUCOG, OVIDAC or CORION) ampoule mixed with 3.43 ML of sterile bacteriostatic water = 8.5 injections( .4cc) of 175IU potency.
