Expect Weight Loss From ½ to 1 Pound Per Day
Most HCG participants see a loss in girth(inches) before they see any substantive drop on the scale. When properly supervised, the result is rapid weight loss and improved body shape during and after treatment. As HCG metabolizes stored body fat, about 2000 calories are released into the bloodstream, thus allowing for a low calorie per day diet without experiencing fatigue, weakness, or hunger. Although expected to maintain a rigid diet program, you should not feel any loss of energy or inability to maintain your normal physical routine. In many other weight loss plans, fat is rarely effectively removed except through surgery or famishing-type diets. With H.G. treatment according to the Simeons model, the weight and girth decreases day by day. Daily activities can be continued without feeling flabby, weary, or becoming depressive. Part of the program’s success is helping the client develop better eating habits during the course of treatment. Most clients do not regain the weight they have lost if they continue to abide by the healthy diet changes made during treatment.
During the first few days of the diet, some clients may experience and ‘empty feeling’ but not hunger. If experienced, this feeling disappears by the end of the first week. After the first week, most clients report increased energy levels and an overall improved sense of well being. Additionally, research studies report successful results in combination with the HCG program that include:
- In obese diabetics, blood sugar levels drop toward normal
- Rheumatic pains and stiff joints are markedly relieved
- Blood pressure drops and coronary circulation improve
- Gout improves
- Cholesterol levels drop to more normal levels
- Peptic ulcers show surprising subjective improvement in spite of the limited quantities of food consumed during the diet
- Psoriasis and other skin problems are relieved
