HCG Diet

What is the hCG diet?

At Physicians Weight Loss Clinic, the hCG diet is a medically supervised weight loss plan that consists of a 500-calorie diet and daily hCG injections. These injections consist of a hormone women naturally produce during pregnancy that promotes the healthy development of the fetus. When injected for weight loss, hCG may help reset your metabolism so you’re burning more fat than muscle.

The injections are safe, but should only be administered by a medical specialist.

What are the benefits of the hCG diet?

The weight loss experts at Physicians Weight Loss Clinic know how difficult it is for many people to drop unwanted pounds, which is why they offer a variety of solutions. Compared to other dietary treatments, the hCG plan offers a wide range of benefits, including:

• Proportional weight loss from all areas of the body
• Increased energy levels
• Better sleep
• Decreased irritability and anxiety

Additionally, the hCG diet plan helps you lose fat, not muscle, which helps you maintain your results and keeps your metabolic rate up.

What do I eat on the hCG diet?

Physicians Weight Loss Clinic provides you with a personalized diet plan so you know exactly what to eat, how much, and when. In general, the diet consists of foods such as:

• Lean sources of protein: chicken, veal, beef, white fish, lobster, and shrimp
• Low-carb veggies: spinach, cabbage, leafy greens, cucumbers, and celery
• Breadsticks or melba toast
• Fruits: apples, oranges, and strawberries
• Water, coffee, and tea

You can use sugar substitutes, but regular sugar, oil, and butter aren’t allowed on the hCG diet. Additionally, you only eat two meals a day– lunch and dinner– when following the plan.
