| Q.1)
What is HCG and how
does it work? |
| Ans.
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.
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. |
| |
| Q.2)
Is HCG Safe? |
| Ans.
HCG is extremely safe.
Women may experience
very high levels during
pregnancy with no
adverse affects. The
small amount used
for weight loss has
no know side effects. |
| |
| Q.3)
Is HCG safe for men? |
| Ans.
The HCG is actually
already found in men.
It is found in every
human tissue, including
males and non pregnant
women as well as pregnant.
The clinical studies
conducted at our HCG
SlimXpress™ centers
show that men generally
get even faster results
and tend to lose more
weight than women. |
| |
| Q.4)
If HCG works so well
for weight loss, why
don’t pregnant women
lose weight? |
| Ans.
HCG works to mobilize
fat for utilization
by the body only when
there is a significant
decrease in calories
and fat. For weight
loss, a very low calorie
diet of all the right
foods is used to trigger
HCG to help rid the
body of fat. |
| |
| Q.5)
Will my metabolism
slow down if I am
on a very low calorie
diet? |
| Ans.
It is true that normally
when cutting back
on calories and fat,
our body stores fat
and our metabolism
slows down. This happens
because fat is really
a life-saving source
of stored energy.
When a very low calorie
diet is used in conjunction
with the HCG, the
hormone signals the
body to used stored
fat for energy, and
eliminates excess
fat reserves. It’s
a natural process,
so no ill effects
on your metabolism
will result. The HCG
keeps the body from
going into starvation
mode and holding onto
fat as it resets your
metabolism. |
| |
| Q.6)
Wouldn’t I lose the
same amount of weight
eating a very low
calorie diet without
HCG? |
| Ans.
You can lose weight
simply by eating fewer
calories and fat,
but because the body
stores fat during
times of deprivation,
you will most likely
lose muscle and bone
before fat. This causes
cellular metabolism
to slow down, so in
the long run, it would
make gaining weight
easier, as well as
decrease bone density
and muscle mass. By
using HCG with the
low calorie diet,
extra fat is mobilized
for energy and the
rest is eliminated;
the low calorie diet
is vital in preventing
immediate refilling
of emptied fat cells.
You benefit by preferentially
getting rid of excess
fat without affecting
your bone and muscle.
With HCG you can lose
the weight quickly
and keep it off! |
| |
|
Q.7) Does the weight
loss slow down after
the first two weeks? |
| Ans.
Many times there is
a large amount of
weight loss in the
first, then a plateau
of leveling off. This
does not mean that
your weight loss has
stopped. Typically,
inches are being lost
continuously while
on the program, and
after a period of
time, patients will
experience another
large drop on the
scale. Weight loss
is thus achieved in
this stair-step fashion.
Remember the HCG SlimXpress™
program emphases fat
and inch loss. |

|
Q.8) Is it ok to skip
a meal or protein
at one of my meals? |
| Ans.
No you don't ever
want to skip any of
your meals. It’s important
to eat all of your
500 calories and especially
your protein so that
you only lose fat
and not muscle. |
| |
| Q.9)
Can I exercise daily? |
| Ans.
Low key or no exercise
only! Anyone who over
exercises will be
starving and will
want to give up, plus
their body will go
into starvation mode
and they will lose
less weight! Your
calorie intake is
not high enough for
this. You can do about
20 min. of walking
a day and a few sit
ups or push ups if
you feel needed. You
will not be losing
muscle just fat, so
when you go back to
the gym you won't
skip a beat, you will
just be thinner!!! |
