Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the proven health benefits of the weight loss?
A: The proven benefits of weight loss are: lower blood pressure, increased circulation, blood sugar stabilization, lower cholesterol, increased energy and metabolism, reduction of sleep apnea, and increased sexual libido. Since everyone is different, each person is not likely to experience all of the above benefits to the same degree.
Q: I’ve tried several diets before. How is the TransFigure program different?
A: Other low-calorie weight loss plans are much less successful in getting the body to “free up” or mobilize fat deposits from problem areas, which leads to weight loss. Most people on the HCG weight loss program report that they are less hungry and have more energy than comparable programs. The big added bonus is that there is little chance of a weight gain “rebound” when compared to other weight loss programs.
Q: I have some health problems. Is this weight loss program safe for me?
A: It is always a good idea to check with your doctor before undertaking any weight loss program, and this is especially important for those of us with special health concerns. It should be noted that for some chronic conditions like diabetes, long-term weight loss may actually cause your condition to improve!
Q:What is the difference between homeopathic HCG and HCG injections?
A: We sell homeopathic HCG, manufactured in the United States. Homeopathic HCG is produced by taking small amounts of the original strength HCG and making it into a sublingual mixture, which is administered under the tongue. We have many clients who have tried both versions, and report no differences between the two, except ours is cheaper and pain free!
Q: Does Your HCG come pre-mixed?
A: Yes. It comes pre-mixed and ready to use.
Q: Where is this homeopathic HCG made?
A:Our HCG is made in a United States lab. The lab is a federally registered pharmaceutical laboratory in full compliance with FDA regulations governing pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
Q: Who can use this weight loss program?
A: The treatment works for almost everyone, young, old, male, female. You can use HCG if your BMI value is not lower than 20. Always check with your doctor before beginning any new weight loss program. Do NOT use HCG if you are pregnant or nursing.
Q: Will my birth control methods be affected by using HCG?
A: HCG will not interfere with any form of birth control.
Q: Will I experience any side effects while taking HCG?
A: There are no side effects associated with HCG. Very few experience slight headaches or dizziness for the first few days but this is extremely rare and mild. HCG has been used for weight loss for 50+ years, so there is plenty of evidence to back up its safety.
Q: Will the HCG interfere with medications my doctor has prescribed to me?
A: It is a good idea to consult with your doctor before beginning any weight loss program.
Q: Does this HCG have to be refrigerated?
A: No, the HCG does not have to be refrigerated because it is made in the homeopathic method and mixed with 16% usp alcohol as part of its liquid medium. The alcohol acts as a preservative, which keeps the HCG active and effective. If you are not going to use an open bottle of HCG for a few days or several weeks, you should place the bottle in the refrigerator to hold its potency over longer periods of time.
Q: How long does a bottle last? Will two bottles be enough for a full 40 day round?
A: One ounce lasts approximately half of a round. So, whether you plan to do the minimum 23 days or the maximum 40 days on the HCG, you will want to order at least 2 ounces, maybe 3 if you would like the flexibility to increase your dosage slightly, but still go the full 40 days. For most people, 2 ounces is enough for a full 40 day round. However, some people do decide to increase their dosage at some point during the protocol for several reasons outlined in the protocol such as low energy, excessive hunger/cravings, etc. If you think you may decide to increase (for example, if you have done the injections and increased your dosage before the end of the round), you may consider purchasing a three ounce set — just in case you decide to increase.
Q: Will I keep the weight off?
A: After the HCG weight loss program, you will find your appetite has changed, as well as your eating behavior and your body. This is the perfect opportunity to adopt a healthy lifestyle to maintain your weight. You will find a minimum amount of exercise will be sufficient for maintaining a very healthy body. Exercise can often be fun, choose what you like from yoga to 15 minutes of cardio a day. With your hypothalamus reset, your metabolism will be different and you will be able to eat moderately without feeling the need to overeat.
Q: How much weight can I expect to lose?
A: Weight loss varies between .5 pound and 3 pounds per day, but the average weight loss is between 1 to 2 pounds per day.
Q: Is it healthy to lose 1 to 2 pounds a day with HCG?
A: Losing 1 to 2 pounds daily without the use of HCG would be unhealthy because your body would begin to breakdown muscle and other beneficial components. However, when using HCG, your body breaks down stored fat, and maintains muscle so that you achieve the sculpted look you’ve always wanted. Plus, you get the weight off quickly, which allows you to start living a healthier lifestyle.
Q: Why can I only eat 500 calorie?
A: HCG causes your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of the fat storage locations so that it’s available for use. While you are only consuming 500 calories, your hypothalamus is continually releasing the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually operating on thousands of calories a day. The result is your body uses thousands of calories from stored fat in your body each day, which is the reason people using the HCG weight loss program lose 1 to 2 pounds of fat or more per day.
Q: Will I be hungry on 500 calories a day?
A: It is common for mild hunger during the first few days, however this is mostly due to food cravings and can be helped if you fully gorge yourself during the first two gorge days. Any hunger will pass, and by the 2nd week, you will find even very tiny servings tend to be completely satisfying . This is partly due to your hypothalamus adjusting your metabolic rate, but largely due to the amount of calories circulating in your system from fat being released. It is common that HCG dieters feel as though they are stuffing themselves in order to reach that 500 calorie limit.
Q: What is the hypothalamus gland?
A: The hypothalamus gland moderates the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage, and more importantly, your metabolic rate.
Q: How is the homeopathic HCG administered?
A: HCG is most effective when placed under your tongue. It comes in liquid form and the dropper is supplied with your HCG bottle, so there is no guess work in measuring. We recommend using a quarter of the dropper three times per day.
Q: Will I lose more weight if I use the injections instead of the homeopathic HCG?
A: Patients report the same results from both forms of HCG. The difference is cost. The injectable generally costs $600 plus for a 5 week program and our product is A LOT less!
Q: Are there specific foods I should or should not eat while on the weight loss program?
A: Yes! See here for more details. (link to regimen page)
Q: What is your cancellation/return policy?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns. Cancellations may be available before shipments are sent out.
Q: Why isn’t HCG FDA-Approved for weight loss?
A: HCG only contributes to weight loss when it is correctly used in combination with the strict protocol prescribed by Dr. Simeons in HCG Diet Protocol. HCG is NOT FDA-Approved for weight loss. When taken without following the strict protocol, HCG alone will not make you lose weight. However, when following Dr. Simeons’ protocol, customers generally see fantastic but typical weight loss results, averaging between 20 to 30 pounds in just 30 to 40 days.
See Dr. Simeons’ manuscript (link to manuscript) for more information on the prescribed foods and lotions you can use while following the weight loss program.
Q: Is homeopathic HCG FDA-Approved?
A: Homeopathic HCG is not registered with or approved by the FDA or Health Canada. The HCG is made in laboratories which are in full compliance with FDA regulations governing pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. According to Mediral, “Mediral has been distributing homeopathic remedies and natural healthcare products around the world for more than 20 years…The manufacturing facility for Mediral is on-site, and is a federally- and state-registered pharmaceutical laboratory. Regular inspections by the FDA ensure compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) for your safety.”
