HCG FAQ
What is HCG?
- It is a hormone produced in large amounts by pregnant women, which ensures that the
baby has everything necessary to develop normally, even if mom is in a famine.
- It is produced by both men and women in trace amounts
How does the diet work?
- Because the hormone is continually releasing energy from your fat reserves, it is possible
to only eat 500 calories/day without feeling hungry, dropping your metabolism, or losing
muscle mass. It only burns fat.
- The hormone itself does not dissolve the fat, but it makes the very low-calorie diet
possible, and that dissolves your fat.
- Your metabolism is “reset” making it possible for your body to maintain your new weight!
Is it safe?
- HCG has been used for weight loss for more than 60 years.
- It is extremely safe, when used appropriately

Disclaimer: HCG has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity and states that there is no substantial evidence that HCG
increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or
“normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted
diets.
