FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. What does HCG stand for? HCG is an abbreviation for human chorionic gonadotropin. This is a hormone that is produced in very high levels in pregnant women and their fetus. It can also be found in all newborn babies.

Q. What does HCG do in the body? HCG signals the hypothalamus which is connected to your pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is referred to as the “master gland” because it helps regulate your endocrine (glandular) system. In pregnancy, the HCG actually triggers your system in a manner that causes your body to mobilize fat stores. These fat stores are turned into nutrients that are utilized by the placenta, so it can fuel the fetus allowing it to grow.

Q. How does HCG help me to lose weight? The Pharmaceutical HCG we utilize in our weight loss program, (real HCG) works in combination with a customized diet program and weight loss counseling. Together, they work to force your body to metabolize the same fat stores we mentioned earlier. The difference, now your body is going to use those fat stores for part of your energy and nutrition. .

Q. Since HCG is natural, does that make it safe? HCG is very safe; during nine months of pregnancy women produce extremely high levels and in general, experience no adverse effects. The amount we use to trigger your system for weight loss is a tiny fraction of that. To date, not one of our clients has experienced any adverse side effects from this program. Additionally, Success Weightloss Systems only uses HCG from a compounding pharmacy in the USA. Our weight loss booklet includes documentation and protocols the pharmacy has implemented to insure that your HCG is safe and effective.

Q. How much weight will I lose with HCG shots? That depends a lot on you, the program you select and your health history. We can tell you that the lowest weight loss experience any of our clients have had that followed the program is ½ pound per day. On the other end of the spectrum were clients who were losing weight too fast and had to have their diet modified to bring them into our maximum acceptable weight loss range which is 1.5 pounds per day. A realistic average would be in the range of ¾ lb. per day. However, you and your actions really do control a lot of the outcome. We have the tools, techniques and support; you have to bring the desire and dedication to see it through!

Q. Is it healthy to lose the 2 pounds a day I see claimed by the HCG websites? We believe that no one should lose more than 1.5 pounds per day, and that only those whose systems can support it should. That is why we work very hard to monitor your weight loss and to adjust your diet. We want to keep you in a weight loss range that is well suited to your current health condition. HCG, a modified diet and weight loss counseling; all help you lose weight, and we can say with complete certainty that losing weight has numerous health benefits. But losing weight too fast, or without blood work or a physical can be very hazardous to your health and should be avoided.

Q. Can I take your HCG Weight orally? Success Weightloss Systems offers both oral and intramuscular HCG. They both have their benefits, however our pharmaceutical grade HCG should not be confused with the fake non-prescription homeopathic HCG sold elsewhere without medical supervision.
