HCG is naturally produced in the body. It has many functions and is used medically to treat a variety of conditions. It is the pregnancy hormone, but during pregnancy the levels double every two days. HCG allows the body to mobilize 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.

How does HCG Work?
People who calorie count know that one pound of fat equals 3,500 calories. Jogging one mile burns about 100 calories. If you're 50 pounds overweight, you need to jog 1,750 miles to mathematically burn 50 pounds. However, if weight loss was that easy everyone would be jogging from coast to coast.
Many Americans work out regularly and burn calories but can’t lose the weight they want. The reason is because they are burning the wrong calories.
There are three types of fats in the human body:
Structural fat: this fills the gaps between organs and acts as a sort of "packing material" for the body.
Normal reserves: the body draws upon this fat when nutritional intake is less than what the body demands.
Abnormal fat: abnormal and excessive accumulations are fixed deposits of fats throughout the body and cause obesity. The body is unable to draw on this fat in emergencies.
When exercising or restricting food intake, the body relies on and consumes the normal fat reserves. The body cannot access the abnormal fat accumulations. The use of the HCG hormone releases abnormal fat deposits and makes the fat available for consumption by the body.
Patients on our HCG program lose about one pound per day. Because the HCG hormone makes the abnormal fat available, the body begins living off the fat – the fat provides a source of energy, just as food does. Patients are instructed to reduce food to 500 calories per day; however, hunger is not noticed because 3,500 additional calories are consumed each day by the body. The results: patients lose about one pound per day while using the HCG hormone.

FAQs about HCG |
Is HCG safe?
HCG is extremely safe.
All women experience very high levels during the nine months of every pregnancy with no adverse effects. The small amount we use for weight loss has absolutely no side effects. NOTE: it is VERY important that you know where your HCG is coming from! Most HCG products over the counter are mixed with other ingredients and cannot guarantee safeness and efficacy. Prescription strength HCG found at Ooh La La is compounded by our local pharmacy and offers a strong and effective dose of HCG- making it much more effective than many other products with HCG.

Wouldn’t I lose the same amount of weight eating a very low calorie diet without HCG?
You can lose weight by simply 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 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 muscle.

Does the weight loss slow down after the first month?
Many times there is a large amount of weight loss in the first month, then a plateau or 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 the stair-step fashion.

General Considerations
Most conditions are improved by taking HCG. Patients will notice an improvement in sleep, skin, and mood. They will have a stabilization of blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. They will have fewer arthritis symptoms, an improvement of psoriasis, peptic ulcers and hair loss.
There are two conditions that can flare with this treatment protocol – Gout and Gallbladder Disease.
Please let us know if you have or have had Gout and/or Gallbladder Disease. Gallbladder Disease: HCG has no effect on the gallbladder disease itself. The very low calorie diet that accompanies HCG treatment can cause the gallbladder to react if the patient is predisposed. Symptoms to watch for include epigastric or right upper quadrant pain accompanied by nausea or vomiting. If you have had your gallbladder removed, treatment can proceed normally without risk.
