HCG Diet
Youth Diagnostics™ is pleased to announce the availability of the HCG Diet.
The HCG Diet is a medically supervised weight loss program that involves daily subcutaneous injections of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), along with a 500-calorie diet over the course of three to six weeks. HCG mobilizes excess fat to help your body satisfy its caloric needs while preserving your muscle mass. Patients who undergo the HCG program have actually reported a decrease in hunger while being on this carefully controlled low-calorie diet. The average patient loses about three quarters of a pound of fat per day and keeps the weight off with the help of a weight maintenance program.
Though HCG has been effective and successful for patients who choose it, results may vary among individuals based on differences in their physiology and physical compositional makeup. Our specialists will be able to determine if you will be a good candidate for the HCG diet.
Is HCG safe for me?
HCG is a natural hormone found in the human body. To illustrate its natural effects, a woman’s body during pregnancy will produce a flood of more than 300,000 IU’s of HCG on a daily basis. In the event that a woman does not eat enough for both herself and her fetus, this flood of HCG hormones helps her body liberate a balancing amount of fat and energy stored in the body, thus preserving the fetus’ health.
By contrast, HCG injections amount to only 200 IU’s and are very effective at this low dosage. The HCG is sterilized and therefore poses absolutely no risk of any infection or contamination. Because the HCG hormone is natural and sterilized, the diet program is safe and has had overwhelming results for patients who have tried it. In order to most accurately render the effects of the hormone, the standard of care is still by injection. Oral supplements and drops are available on the market; however, their efficacy is questionable. The best source of HCG continues to be actual hormones from human beings.
HCG Diet programs start at $950 for Youth Diagnostics™ patients and $1,200 for non-patients. Patients receive close monitoring on a weekly basis throughout the program, as well as the following:
- Consultations with a Youth Diagnostic physician
- Nutritional consultations with meal plan and shopping list
- Weekly weigh-in, nutritional consult and Vitamin B-12 injections
- Final consultation one week after injections are stopped
- HCG costs $100 additional
