HCG Rx+ Weight Loss Intervention – Program Overview

The prescription HCG Rx+ Weight Loss intervention is an exciting program that offers many advantages, including the loss of problematic visceral fat at an expedited pace. Additionally, the combination of prescription HCG and a very low calorie diet (VLCD) helps to reset your hypothalamus, the area of the brain that controls hunger and satiation, leading to a greater opportunity for long-term success.

Our doctor supervised program uses prescription HCG and includes weekly visits with a nurse educator to guide you through the program. We offer two programs that are based on the amount of weight you want to lose:

• If you need to lose fewer than 20 pounds the 51-day program is ideal for you. (23 days HCG/ 28 days maintenance)
• If you need to lose more than 20 pounds the 85-day program is ideal for you. (40 days HCG/45 days maintenance)

Once you complete the program, if you feel you have more weight to lose, you can simply enroll for another session. The program is broken down into four specific sections that are designed to optimize your weight loss success.

1. Loading Phase – On days 1 – 2 you take the prescription HCG and vitamins and you “load” calories to rev-up your metabolism. Ideally, your diet for these two days should be high fat and high calorie. Enjoy!
2. Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) Phase – For the next 21 or 38 days, depending on which program you chose, you follow a specific and regimented VLCD. Additionally, you take the prescription HCG and vitamins. It is important during this period that you adhere strictly to the diet to maximize your weight loss success.
3. Transition Phase – For this 3-day phase of the diet you continue with the VLCD but do NOT take the prescription HCG. This time is allowing your body to prepare for the maintenance phase of the program.
4. Maintenance Phase – This is the most critical phase of the diet! During this 25 or 42 day timeframe, you will begin to eat a diet that is “no sugar, no starch” transitioning to a “low sugar, low starch” diet. If you go back to your old eating habits the weight will come back! It’s important that you’re as committed to the maintenance portion of the diet as you were to the VLCD phase.
