I am in the business of helping people lose weight quickly and permanently using the HCG Protocol, as outlined in Pounds and Inches, by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons.

Homeopathic HCG contains the natural hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. The way HCG works on the diet protocol is the same principle as how it works when pregnant - it instructs your fat cells to release nutrient-filled fat into your system where it is used and eliminated at the rate of 2000-3000 calories per day. In pregnancy, that means the fetus is being fed; in a non-pregnant person, it means that ALL excess is being eliminated.

HCG only releases abnormal fat, not structural fat or muscle tissue, unlike ANY other diet. So wherever you have that stubborn, abnormal fat, that's the part of your body that will be reshaped as the fat is released and eliminated.

I have done the HCG injections and homeopathic HCG drops, as has my business partner, our certified health and wellness coach, and our support staff. We lost the same amount of weight on each. We weren't hungry when we were taking the correct dosage of drops (60 drops or 3.0 ml per day). Combined, the five of us have lost more than 330 lbs, most of that from the homeopathic HCG drops. We have kept the weight off without further dieting. Our clients have lost more than 10,000 pounds, so there's no doubt about the quality.

The beauty of the HCG protocol is that it's the only diet that is NOT a quick fix. In fact, many experts consider it a weight loss cure, and no other diet can claim that. The reason is that the combination of HCG and the food protocol works with your hypothalamus to create a new metabolism and a new setpoint weight. That means your body processes excess differently than it did at your higher weight, and it will be harder to gain than if you just lost weight and didn't re-set your metabolism.

That's not saying you can sit back and eat 5000 calories a day and not gain weight at the end of this plan. It means that you can eat "normally" without giving up your favorite foods and stay within a 2 lb range. Over the course of the protocol, many people get a better understanding of what "normal" eating is. :)

By the time you're finished with six weeks of maintenance after your first round of the HCG Protocol, you will have lost anywhere from 20 to 40 lbs, reset your metabolism and you'll have a new setpoint weight. Then you can start again if necessary.

Always consult your doctor before embarking on any weight loss program. It is critical to have knowledgeable and experienced guidance while on the HCG Protocol. You need a place where you can ask questions and download important resources that will get you through this successfully. Good, knowledgeable support is actually not very common when you look at all the amateur websites that have popped up in the last 6 months. Be sure to look for a company that demonstrates care and concern for their clients...not one that just tries to sell you something.

It's important to know what to look for so you can figure out who to trust. You'll know you're not getting scammed when you see pictures of the company owners and staff, as well as full contact information (not a PO box).
