Will my metabolism slow down if I am on a very low calorie diet without HCG?

It is true that normally when cutting back on calories and fat, our body stores fat and our metabolism slows down. This is what is referred to as "starvation mode" and occurs because the body stores the most calorie dense material, which happens to be fat (9cal/gm). When a very low calorie diet is used in conjunction with the ChiroHCG formula, the body will make up the caloric deficiency by mobilizing and burning fat to give you the calories that are needed. ChiroHCG keeps the body from going into starvation mode and holding onto fat as it resets your metabolism.

Wouldn't I lose the same amount of weight eating a very low calorie diet without HCG?

You can lose weight simply by eating fewer calories and fat, but because the body stores fat during times of deprivation, you will most likelylose muscle before fat. This causes cellular metabolism to slow down, so in the long run, it would make gaining weight easier, as well as decreased bone density and muscle mass. By using ChiroHCG in combination with a VLCD, the body's stored fat is mobilized for energy.

The HCG diet is very low calorie, will I get hungry?

While it is common to feel mild hunger during the first few days, this sensation will usually stop after 4-6 days. By the end of the first week, you will find your servings to be satisfying. ChiroHCG's proprietary formula is specifically blended with additional ingredients to aid in blood sugar stabilization,as well as natural hunger and craving supressors. So even though you are taking in fewer calories, your body can access the energy you have stored in fat cells. Drinking 80-120 ounces of water per day will additionally act as an extra hunger suppressant and help keep your energy level high. As a "rule of thumb", the average person on ChiroHCG has plenty of energy and feels good while on the program.

Once on HCG and you have a menstrual cycle, you can maintain the diet and continue taking HCG. If you are currently taking fertility medications, we advise against starting any homeopathic HCG program.

Does the weight loss slow down after the first two weeks?

Many times there is a large amount of weight loss in the first week, then a gradual slowing of weight loss. This does not mean that your weight loss has stopped.

Can I exercise daily?

No exercise! Twenty minutes of low intensity exercise is acceptable. When exercising, the body burns calories. Because the body is not able to metabolize fat as fast as it is burned with exercise, you have a significantly greater chance for injury due to rapid onset fatigue. We simply ask that you give us 42 days with no exercise. Once you are done with the 42 days, we strongly encourage exercise.

Can I drink alcohol on the HCG diet?

In the original HCG diet protocol by Dr. Simeons, it does not mention or account for alcohol. It has been found that some HCG users whom have been drinkers or even those that are borderline alcoholic, do surprisingly well on the HCG diet. If the simple instructions are followed correctly, the HCG diet will get them out of their drinking routine. These users have even said that they don't even feel the need to drink while on the HCG diet because HCG works with the hypothalamus gland, which controls the emotional eating/drinking part of the brain, along with other aspects.

Can I wear makeup?

The answer is yes. However, avoiding lotions, moisturizers, or liquid make-ups with oil will improve the weight loss. All HCG orograms are sensitive to oils, creams, and fats. You can only use any mineral makeup, pressed powders, and oil-free foundations. Eye makeup and lipstick are okay. Try to avoid lip gloss and Chapstick. If your lips get dry, we recommend the use of Carmex. If a body moisturizer is needed, it is recommended that you use baby oil.
