Medical Diet FAQ
In order to get the body to sense that there is an “emergency”, hCG dieters follow a very specific diet of 500 calories. Also, only certain food that does make the body stop releasing fat may be eaten. When followed properly, the body will release up to 2,500 calories into the bloodstream daily. Most dieters feel full, satiated, and full of energy while on the protocol.
If you are not following the protocol perfectly, you may experience hunger. If you are following the program protocol and still having trouble with hunger, we can recommend an excellent suppressant.
Some online retailers offer hCG at very low prices. However, many scammers are taking advantage of dieters and selling substandard product, or even worse, taking money and never shipping the product. The FDA has recently banned sales of over the counter Oral hCG (often sold online) due to its inconsistency and non-effectiveness. Our hCG comes from one of the largest compounding pharmacies in the country which operates under strict quality control guidelines. Pharmaceutical grade hCG can only be obtained with a prescription.
