HCG - FAQ

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, also known as hCG, is a hormone naturally producted by the body.  It has many functions and is used medically in both male and females.  For use of weight loss, based on the research developed by Dr. A.T.W. Simeon.  HCG effects the Hypothalamus, in the brain, to signal release of stored fat into the bloodstream. This released fat is used to provide energy and decrease appetite. This process prevents the breakdown of fats that are essential in normal healthy people, such as intramuscular fat, fat around vital organs, and fat around blood vessels. This is especially effective in a low-calorie diet, because the body will break down fat regardless of its location.

HCG is considered safe.  At Complete Diet Solutions, we provide 100% pure hCG by prescription only.  We do not use homeopathic or hormone-free product that can be harmful to the body.  It is important while on hCG, to follow a physician-guided diet protocol and have access to medical assistance throughout the program in case you should have a question or need some additional help.  Like with any diet program, we recommend that you consult your physician prior to beginning any sudden changes to your diet.  Refer to our diet guidelines and schedule a Free Consultation as anytime with questions.  If for some reason, we feel this plan is not in your best interest due to a particular medical concern, you may not be approved to begin the hCG program.  The physician will alert you immediately and discuss other options.

Exercising on the hCG diet can actually hinder weight loss by slowing the metabolism and is not recommended on a 500 calorie diet.  The body will begin to react by thinking that it needs more energy and can begin to take away muscle mass if exercise is done while on the hCG diet.  Complete Diet Solutions does recommend a daily walk for 30-minutes, provided the activity is not strenuous, it will not aid in weight loss on the hCG diet.

It is normal to experience some changes in bowel habits when on a low-calorie diet like the hCG program.  If you are consuming smaller amounts of food, less will need to be disposed of by the body as waste.  If you have not experienced a bowel movement on a regular basis (no more that 5-7 days) and are experience some constipation including cramping, distended or swollen abdomen, a mild laxative may be used.  First make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to help stimulate your bowels.  If a laxative is needed, we recommend taking MirLAX OTC to assist in digestion.  This is a gentle product but should not be used as a way to correct cheating on your diet or as a weight loss aid. If you experience this type of discomfort, contact our medical staff so addition information can be provided to help regulate your bowels.
