FEQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS hCG AND HOW DOES IT RESULT IN RAPID WEIGHT LOSS?

 

hCG or Human Chronic Gonadotropin is a complex amino-peptide protein that exists in every tissue of the human body, male and female, in miniscule amounts and is found in all living things. It is produced in very high levels during pregnancy. It almost completely controls the metabolic function through the hypothalamus throughout the pregnancy. In non-pregnant individuals, research suggests hCG similarly increases the metabolism.

HOW TO TAKE hCG?

 

HCH is taken by injection using a tiny insulin syringe. To give you an idea of the size, it is the same syringe size used to give children allergy shots. It is administered just under the skin. Sub Q and you do not feel any discomfort, in fact, you will not even know that it has been administered. 

IS hCG SAFE FOR MEN?

 

Yes! hCG is safe for men. In fact hCG is used to treat male and female infertility in very large doses and is also used in male hormone therapy. hCG used for weight loss is a very tiny dose. The hCG used for the Slender Fit U weight loss protocol is actually already found in men. In fact, it is present in every human tissue, including males and non-pregnant women, as well as, pregnant woman. Generally speaking men tend to lose more weight than women on this program.

WOULDN’T YOU LOSE THE WEIGHT WITH JUST A LOW CALORIE DIET?

 

Some people have said, “Well, if you follow a 500 to 800 calorie-a-day diet, you will lose weight anyway.” Sure, that is true. But what weight are you losing? You would lose weight, but not from your stored locked in fat! The body has a natural protective mechanism that is designed to store fat in order to prevent death and starvation. When a person tries to reduce calories to lose weight, the body goes into shock, stores the fat and begins to burn lean muscle for fuel.  Only as a last resort will the body let go of its abnormal fat reserve. And you would be hungry fatigued and irritable. And of course you would do nothing to rebalance your metabolism. With Slender Fit U's  hCG weight loss program your goal is to lose fat, not weight.

HOW MUCH WEIGHT WILL I LOSE WITH THE SLENDER FIT U ® PROGRAM?

 

Most Slender Fit U dieters report a loss of 1/2 lb. up to 1 lb. a day. Men generally lose more weight than women. Women typical lose up to 15-20 lbs. on the 30 day, 6,000 IU program and 35-40 lbs. on the 50 day 10,000 IU and 55 day 11,000 IU programs, if following the program correctly. Men typically lose up to 25-30 lbs. on the 30 day, 6,000 IU program and 45-50 lbs. on the 50 day 10,000 IU and 55 day 11,000 IU programs, if following the program correctly.

IS IT HEALTHY TO LOSE 1/2 TO 1 LB A DAY?

 

hCG weight loss studies have shown that the weight lost while following the protocol comes directly from adipose FAT tissue rather than lean muscle. In doing so, the weight loss comes directly from fat and does not strip the body of much needed muscle, vitamins or minerals essential to maintain good health, while at the same time, releasing excessive amounts of fat-stored nutrients into the blood stream to be absorbed by the body.

WHY THE VERY LOW CALORIE DIET?

 

The Slender Fit U  hCG diet protocol causes your hypothalamus gland to mobilize the fat out of the fat storage locations on your body so that it is available for use. While you are consuming a low calorie diet and taking hCG, your hypothalamus gland is triggered to 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 is using it’s own fat to fuel it. This is reason hCG dieters lose from 1/2 up to 1 lb of FAT or more, per day without hunger.

WILL I BE HUNGRY ON THE SLENDER FIT U ® VERY LOW CALORIE DIET?

 

80% of people experience no hunger on the Slender Fit U ® program, even from day one. Some people experience mild hunger during the first few days, however this will pass and you will find even very tiny servings, 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 the fat being released. It is common that hCG dieters feel as though they are stuffing themselves in order to reach that 500 to 800 calorie limit!

WILL I GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK AFTER THE SLENDER FIT U ® PROGRAM?

DOES IT MATTER WHERE YOU GET YOUR HCG FROM?

 

Yes, it is very important where you get your hCG from. It is imperative that it comes from a licensed US or European pharmacy and that it is certified for safety and sterility. Real hCG is a prescription and you cannot get real hCG on the internet or over the counter, it has to be prescribed by a medical professional. There is no such thing as homeopathic hCG!

WHAT IS THE HYPOTHALAMUS GLAND?

 

The hypothalamus gland moderates the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage, and most importantly your metabolic rate. It also secrets hormones that support the normal function of the pituitary gland. Other fundamental tasks performed by the hypothalamus include regulating body temperature, appetite, digestion, circulation and sleep. Additionally the hypothalamus gland controls critical metabolic activities, helping us to maintain healthy fluid levels and properly metabolize fats and sugars.

IS HCG APPROVED BY THE FDA?

 

hCG is legal and FDA approved to treat many various reproductive and metabolic health issues and has been in existence to do so for more than 70 years by the medical community. It is considered safe for these FDA approved treatments. hCG is used to cause ovulation and to treat infertility in women, and to increase sperm count and as part of hormone therapy in men. HCG is also used in young boys with underdeveloped genitals, often with undescended testicles, which can be caused by a pituitary gland disorder. hCG is not approved for weight loss although it has been used for weight loss since 1954. When hCG is used for weight loss it is considered an off label use of the medication.

IS HCG APPROVED FOR WEIGHT LOSS?

 

The following has been reported on the FDA website:

No. FDA-approved uses for prescription hCG products include female fertility and select hormonal treatment in males, and FDA has not approved prescription hCG for any other uses, including weight loss. Current scientific evidence does not support the claim that hCG is safe and effective for weight loss or for the treatment of obesity. In fact, FDA labeling for the approved hCG drug products requires the following statement about the use of hCG for weight loss:

 

“hCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or ‘normal’ distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.” We disagree with this statement and believe the results speak for themselves. 

 

FDA is aware that healthcare professionals sometimes prescribe prescription injectable HCG for off label uses such as weight loss. FDA understands that sometimes approved products are used to treat conditions that the products were not approved for (i.e., “off-label” uses). The “off-label” use of products usually presents greater uncertainty about both the risks and benefits because less information is available on safety and effectiveness. Unexpected adverse events may occur in this context. FDA has received reports of serious adverse events associated with the use of HCG injections for weight loss including cases of pulmonary embolism, depression, cerebrovascular issues, cardiac arrest, and death.

 

Slender Fit U can report that since 2009 and having put thousands of clients sucessfully through this program, we have not received any complaints or reports of any side effects or medically adverse reactions. Every Slender Fit U client must be cleared by one of our medical staff before starting our weight loss program. This evaluation is included in the price of the program.
