hCG Frequently Asked Questions

By Nicole Pierce, ND

If you are overweight, you are at risk for developing any of the great American diseases of aging such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, hormone imbalance or fatty liver disease AND you are an excellent candidate for this program. The Healthy Body Reset Program gets you out of the active health risk category very quickly and puts you on the road to optimal health without all the excess weight. Results come quickly, you feel better about yourself and you are back in control of your weight and health!

What is the Healthy Body Reset Program?

The Healthy Body Reset Program is a physician-guided program which:

• Allows you to significantly transform your body in 3-6 weeks.
• Addresses the cause of weight gain and difficult weight loss.
• Restores balance to the body and the brain allowing for fat removal and toxin elimination.
• Encourages long-term weight loss effects through Real Food nutrition education and exercise options.

The key to this program’s success is Physician-grade Homeopathic hCG and the Healthy Body Reset diet and detoxification program. hCG is a hormone naturally produced by the placenta in early pregnancy. In the 1950’s a British medical doctor, Dr. Simeons, discovered that hCG had a direct relationship with mobilizing fat stores in the body. He theorized that hCG worked by recalibrating the Hypothalamus so that the body would allow for healthy weight loss and adopt a new weight set point. Homeopathic hCG is safe for both males and females.

In addition to daily use of Homeopathic hCG, this program requires that you follow a VLCD (very low calorie diet) for 21 to 42 days (depending on your goal and the physician’s recommendation). During this phase, most people lose on average between 0.5 and 1 pound per day. After the VLCD portion of the program, there is a Stabilization Phase of 3-6 weeks followed by targeted weight maintenance with specific dietary guidance. During this phase, you will resume a normal calorie diet with a large variety of foods with the exception of starches and sugars. Finally, in the Maintenance Phase, you will begin to slowly incorporate carbohydrates back into your diet while remaining in control of your weight and enjoying your new body.

How much weight will I lose?

If the program is followed correctly, you can expect to lose up to a pound per day (some will lose more per day in the first week). Men tend to lose a little faster than women. The amount you lose also depends upon how much you have to lose and how strictly you follow the diet.

Wouldn’t I lose the same amount if I adopted a low calorie diet without hCG?

Yes, if you adopted a 500 calorie a day diet, you would lose weight BUT you would also be hungry, tired, and worst of all, you would lose muscle and structural fat needed fororgan protection. Because of the effects of hCG, your body mobilizes the fat you already have in storage in order to keep all of your cellular needs met, and thus, control energy production, limit hunger and keep your body functioning in it’s ideal way.

Will the weight loss remain the same the entire way through?

Most people lose a large amount in the first week and then adopt a more regular loss pattern with an average of 0.5-1 pound per day. This can manifest as two pounds lost one day with nothing lost the next. However, we are not just measuring pounds lost, but body measurements, as many people find that on the days in which they do not lose pounds they will lose inches.

I love food! Will I be too hungry to follow the diet plan?

Research now confirms that eating a calorie restricted diet actually increases overall health, has anti-aging effects and increases life span. However, when you are following this diet with the supplemental homeopathic hCG, your body is being provided with 1300-2000 calories of nutrition being released from the excess fat reserves. Therefore, even though you are taking in fewer calories, your body is able to access the energy you have stored. Most people have plenty of energy and feel good while on the program. Sometimes, people report feeling hungry during the first few days. Dr. Pierce will address your individual needs as they arise, and adjust the plan accordingly.
