FAQs
Is hCG Safe?
Yes, when medically supervised. Dr. Arnold Petersen, MD has been using hCG for more than 30 years in his medical practice. Although not yet approved specifically for weight loss, the FDA has approved this natural hormone for other medical purposes. It has been used safely and effectively as a weight loss tool for over 50 years. hCG Weight Loss Clinic, LLC clients are medically supervised throughout the program. You will have an initial consultation with Dr. Petersen who will review your lab test results and medical history before you are approved for the weight loss program. You will also have weekly consultations at our clinic to ensure the very best care and support. Unlimited telephone and email support are also included.
How Long Will I Be on the Program?
One course is a minimum of 23 days up to a maximum of 40 days taking hCG. Then a 3 week phase where you increase your calorie intake while staying away from sugar and starches. You may complete multiple courses if you wish.
How Much Weight Can I Expect to Lose?
Although individual results vary, on average people lose approximately 1/2 to 1 1/2 pounds per day while taking hCG.
Will I be Hungry While I’m on the Diet?
hCG works with your body to access stored fat and use it as fuel. You may be more likely to feel you want to eat rather than actual hunger.
What Kind of Foods Will I Eat?
The diet is very specific, but you get all the food from your local grocery store.
Will I be required to buy additional products or supplements once I’m enrolled in the program?
Absolutely not. Unlike some other weight loss centers that require you buy their products i.e. protein powders and supplements, we believe that the diet works very well as it was originally written.
Why does hCG Weight Loss Clinic, LLC require blood work when other don’t?
We want to verify that you are healthy enough to participate in the program. Running blood tests helps us provide you with the very best care. (If you have existing blood work that we can use, that fee will be deducted from the program cost.)
Will I Have to Exercise?
No. The success of this diet doesn’t rely on exercise at all!
