THE HCG WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM ... WEIGHT LOSS WITH A BANG!

Let's face it - losing weight is very, very hard. Despite all the fad diets, risky surgeries and expensive exercise gizmos, weight loss remains a formidable challenge for most adults. And what are the common problems with ALL diets?

• Constant hunger
• Fatigue and lack of energy
• Portion Control
• Motivation

Most people just give up, but at a price. Obesity is associated with multiple serious health issues including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and fatigue. On a more practical note, being over weight is just plain uncomfortable - both socially and physically. Dr. Kevin Light, the Dallas cosmetic surgeon who also specializes in anti-aging medicine, is offering his patients the HCG Weight Loss Program. This is an aggressive, yet safe, physician supervised weight loss program that can result in a striking loss of weight in a short time.

What is HCG?

HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a natural hormone seen during pregnancy. The hormone can also work wonders on the waistlines of women who are not pregnant. It works great on men, too. It's important to stress that HCG causes absolutely no changes in men such as growing breasts or other feminizing characteristics. It functions only to change the way your body handles excess fat.

Other diets?

Normally, when placed on a very calorie restricted diet, the body will immediately do what it does best - save calories!! It doesn't know that 'fast food' is just down the road. It assumes that famine is on the way. The body slows its metabolism down to a crawl and preserves fat while preferentially burning muscle protein for fuel. So, one may lose weight while on a very low calorie diet, but the loss includes precious muscle, not just fat. In the weight loss biz, fat is where it's at.

The HCG Advantage

The HCG program 'flips the switch' in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that controls fat metabolism and storage. It tells the body it's OK to start burning its own fat instead of protein. You are essentially feeding off of your excess fat stores. The fat released into the blood stream makes you feel as if you have eaten and thus turns off your appetite. With fat calories in your bloodstream, your appetite center says, 'Look, I've got all this food around here. I don't need to stimulate your appetite." So, your hunger is diminished and you feel content. This results in significant weight loss over a short period of time with minimal hunger or energy loss. This is a good thing for people with lots of stored fat.

The program is all about calorie restriction. Patients are allowed 500 calories a day of very specific foods (essentially meat and vegetables). They also apply HCG cream daily and take an appetite suppressant, Caralluma Fimbriata, which also gives you more energy. The net effect is a weight loss that can range from ½ to two pounds per day. Patients routinely lose 25 - 30 pounds with this program.

Weight-loss rollercoaster? Not with HCG!

After 6 weeks, the metabolism has been 're-trained' and you will find your appetite has decreased, your cravings will be less and your eating behavior will be healthier. The diet is then transitioned to a less restrictive, more healthy regimen that will help keep you healthy and lean for years to come.
