 Program Overview

Dr. A.W. Simeon, a British physician, performed extensive research on the cause of obesity in the 1950’s.  He discovered that the leading cause of obesity was an improperly functioning hypothalamus gland.  The hypothalamus is the “master gland” in the brain that controls the basic instincts such as thirst, hunger and sex drive.  The hypothalamus gland also controls the storage of fat in the body.  Dr. Simeon’s, who practiced in Europe, found tremendous success when using his protocol.

The human body has three different types of fat.  Structural fat cushions the organs and is found inside the abdomen.  Normal fat is the fat that forms the padding on the hands and feet.  Abnormal fat is the extra fat around the waist, buttocks and upper thighs. This type of fat is often known as love handles, spare tire or saddle bags. This last type of fat is the fat that human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) helps remove.

When the hypothalamus is stimulated by HCG the body is able to release the abnormal fat and allow the body to rid itself of large amount of fat quickly.  The HCG Weight Loss Program provides a combination of a very low calorie diet (VLCD) and the precise amount of HCG needed to stimulate the hypothalamus gland.  When a person successfully completes the HCG Weight Loss Program the hypothalamus is able to reset and function properly.  Dr. Simeon discovered that the hypothalamus gets overloaded with more fuel that it can process due to the standard American diet high in refined foods, sugar and hydrogenated oils.  Genetics also plays a role in how the hypothalamus functions.  An abnormal functioning hypothalamus is a leading cause of obesity.  When the hypothalamus is not functioning correctly, it causes the body to experience intense food cravings, constant hunger, low metabolism and a surplus storage of abnormal fat.

HCG is the pregnancy hormone produced in high amounts by pregnant women.  Dr. Simeon discovered that HCG allows the hypothalamus to function at a higher capacity thus allowing the fetus to have the energy and nutrients it needed to grow and develop normally.  Dr. Simeon noticed that even in cultures where malnutrition was rampant, the newborns would have normal birth weights.  These observations prompted the development of the HCG Weight Loss Program.

The principle behind the HCG protocol is a combination of taking precise amounts of HCG combined with a very low calorie diet (VLCD), allows the hypothalmus to function at a higher capacity and access the abnormal fat that is not normally metabolized.  The VLCD consists of consuming 500 calories a day.  This may not seem like enough calories to sustain you, but because your body is able to burn off the abnormal stored fat as energy and nutrition, your body is actually metabolizing between 2500 and 4000 calories each day.  Hence you experience little hunger or fatigue while on the program.

After a person successfully completes the HCG Weight Loss Program the hypothalmus will reset, increasing your metabolism and producing a new comfort weight to maintain.  When a person is able to successfully reset the hypothalamus, they can eat literally anything they want with only a few exceptions including refined foods, sugars and starches.   You will maintain your weight by following some simple recommendations for the rest of your life.  The HCG Weight Loss Program also seems to tighten your skin so you don’t get flabby after you lose the weight and you will look great!

The HCG Weight Loss Program is not for everyone.  There are certain patients who should not use this program.  Dr. Wycoff will review the program in detail with you at your initial visit and determine if one of the Wycoff Wellness Center's HCG Weight Loss Programs are appropriate for you.

 THE DO’s & DON'TS of HCG

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

1. Is it necessary to see a doctor to begin the HCG weight loss program?
   Yes, HCG is a prescription medication and may only be prescribed under a physician’s guidance.  You should consult a physician before beginning any HCG weight loss program.
2. Is it safe to use HCG?
   Yes. Although HCG has not yet been approved by the FDA for weight loss, HCG is a natural hormone.  HCG is an approved FDA medication.
3. What is HCG?  How does it work?
   HCG is a naturally occurring substance that is produced from the placenta of pregnant women.  HCG is used in the medical field to treat an assortment of medical conditions.  During pregnancy, the level of HCG doubles every 2 to 3 days.  This substance allows the body to mobilize fat and use it as energy for both the mother and growing fetus.  This acts as a “fail-safe” measure when energy is needed immediately for the fetus.  For weight loss, HCG drops or injections, capitalizes on this same idea.  HCG used in this form does not mimic pregnancy.  It can safely used by both men and women.
4. Will the very low calorie diet (VLCD) slow down my metabolism?
   Normally when a person lowers their calories and fat intake, the body begins to store fat and the metabolism does slow down.  This occurs because fat is a life saving source of stored energy.  When a combination of a VLCD and a precise amount of HCG is used, it signals the body to access and use the stored fat for energy.  This eliminates the excess fat reserves; so there are no adverse effects on your metabolism.  When fat deposits are released, the body uses it as fuel, which causes a person’s appetite to decrease.
5. Could I lose the same amount of weight without using HCG and just follow the very low calorie diet (VLCD)?
   By simply cutting back a person’s calories and fat consumption, one will lose weight.  Most people will lose some fat but also valuable muscle mass.  When the body is deprived of calories it tends to hold onto stored fat.  This causes the cellular metabolism to slow down.  When a person’s metabolism slows down it makes it easier to gain weight and also decreases muscle mass.  By following the HCG Weight Loss Program (VLCD and taking exact amounts of HCG), the excess fat is mobilized for energy and the rest is eliminated.  The VLCD is essential because if prevents an instant refilling of the emptied fat cells.  This is what helps maintain your muscle mass by eliminating fat deposits.  You would lose weight on a 500 calorie eating program but only about 1 to 2 pounds per week and most of the weight loss would be muscle weight.  During the HCG Weight Loss Program you may lose up to 7 pounds per week or more.
6. How much weight can I expect to lose after completing the HCG program?
   Most patients lose on average about 20 pounds during the first 23 days of the program.  Most patients lose anywhere from ½ pound to 2 pounds per day.  Some patients tend to lose more weight quicker than others.
7. Will I starve on the very low calorie diet (VLCD)?
   HCG liquefies fat which opens up all of a person’s fat cells.  The liquid fat is then made accessible to the body to use as energy.  Even though a person is consuming fewer calories, the body is able to access the stored energy that is in the fat cells.  This naturally reduces a person’s appetite.  After a few days on the HCG weight loss program, many people report a decrease in their appetite.  Most people that have successfully completed the HCG weight loss program have reported having plenty of energy while on the program and feeling good.  Food or hunger craving in unusual.
8. For Women Only: 
   It is recommended that treatment begin for women the day after the last day of their menstrual period.  Another option is to start the HCG phase of the program (Phase 2) at least 10 days before your expected next menstrual cycle is to start.  

   It is recommended that during menstruation no HCG drops or injections be taken.  During menstruation women need to continue the 500 calorie diet (VLCD).  As soon as the menstrual cycle is over, they need to resume taking the HCG and continue on the VLCD.  If the HCG drops are not resumed once menstruation is over, extreme hunger may occur.

   Women may continue to use birth control pills or other forms of contraception while on the HCG weight loss program.  The HCG will not affect any form of contraception.  We have found that some forms of synthetic hormones seem to reduce the amount of weight loss achieved on the program.

9. How many drops to I need to equal the amount in an injection?
   The amount of HCG drops to be used twice daily is noted on your dropper bottle.  Just follow the directions on the bottle to obtain the correct dose.
10. How do I store the HCG drops or injectable vial?  What is the expiration date?
    The HCG drops and injectable vial need to be stored out of direct light and heat.  The HCG is best stored in the refrigerator but this in not absolutely necessary (but recommended).  The HCG does not require refrigeration because of the way it is prepared but refrigeration does seem to help maintain the HCG potency and is recommended.  The potency of each form of HCG appears to decrease after about 46 days from initial mixing.
