HCG stands for (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) which is a natural hormone that is found in all bodies. When taken in very small doses, it aids in burning abnormal fat, which is usually found in excess in our stomach, back, butt, hips, thighs, and underside of arms. With the Skinny•Up™ HCG drops, the body will consume the abnormal fat and after the Skinny•Up™ HCG drops diet is completed, the metabolism will be reset. Skinny•Up™ is a special formulation of HCG with the addition of specific amino acids that support the immune system, burn fat, increase energy and control appetite. Skinny•Up™ has helped thousands of people lose those stubborn and frustrating pounds. In addition to weight loss, many patients who have completed the Skinny•Up™ HCG program also experienced many other health benefits, including a drop in cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. What is different about your Skinny•Up™ HCG Weight Loss Program? Our program is directed by a doctor. In-office visits are conducted on a regular basis to evaluate your overall progress and address any health concerns. Initial evaluation by the doctor reviews an extensive health history and symptoms list and you receive personal direction from the doctor. We also provide: very high grade nutritional supplements, a book explaining the diet in detail, recipies, reference material and more. What do you have to lose but weight? How does Skinny•Up™ HCG work? When used in combination with the low calorie diet, Skinny•Up™ HCG will aid your body in losing 1-3 pounds per day. The Skinny•Up™ HCG resets your metabolism and works to use up your abnormal fat storage as fuel/energy. Be sure to eat a lot of fattening foods on the first two loading days. This ensures that the body has enough fat reserves before beginning the low calorie diet! The Skinny•Up™ HCG drops will then make the abnormal fat circulate and become available for fuel. Who are the best candidates for the Skinny•Up™ Weight Loss Program? Any man or woman, who wants to lose weight, is perfect for this protocol. As with any new diet or exercise program, please consult your physician. If you are pregnant or nursing, do not take the Skinny•Up™ HCG drops. How long is the Skinny•Up™ Weight Loss Program? It is recommended a minimum of 23-days for your first cycle. For the 23 day plan, you will take the drops for 23 days and continue on the low calorie diet for 3 days until the Skinny•Up™ HCG is out of your system. For more weight loss you can do the 40-day plan. With both plans, you will discontinue the drops 3 days in advance. Days 1 & 2 Start oral, sublingual Skinny•Up™ HCG drops and begin high fat, high calorie diet. This is an essential step in resetting the body’s fat regulating system. Start your nutritional supplements daily. Take them everyday. Days 3-23 ( or 40 ) Continue Skinny•Up™ HCG drops that are now triggering the body to release stored fat as “food” for the body and supplement with the low calorie diet. The burned fat is providing a constant flow of fuel so you won’t feel hungry as pounds & inches melt away. Maintenance Phase Stop Skinny•Up™ HCG diet drops. The body’s fat regulation system is now adjusted. Slowly increase caloric intake, while stabilizing your new weight. Light Exercise It is recommended that you do only light exercise while on the Skinny•Up™ HCG Diet. Walking, Yoga,Pilates, lighter weight lifting (resistance) is great to keep up your strength. Stay away from high calorie burning exercises (ex. running, aerobics). Over exercising will cause the body to go into starvation mode and hold on to the fat, fighting against the Skinny•Up™ HCG. Keep Track of Weight It is important to weigh yourself and keep track of your success. You will want to weigh yourself when you first get up in the morning (the same clothing attire every time) after you have emptied your bladder. More Frequently Asked Questions about the Skinny•Up™ HCG Diet… Why the low calorie diet? Skinny•Up™ HCG drops cause your hypothalamus to mobilize and utilize the fat from the abnormal fat storage locations. While you may only be consuming small amounts of calories, your hypothalamus is working to continually release the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually operating on thousands of calories a day. The result: Your body uses thousands of calories from stored fat each day results in Skinny•Up™ HCG dieters losing 1 to 2 lbs of fat or more, per day! Why would I not just go on the low calorie diet without the Skinny•Up™ HCG drops? When you try to lose weight solely by a low calorie diet, you will first lose normal fat reserves. Only as a last resort will your body deplete abnormal fat reserves. By that time you usually will feel weak and hungry enough that the diet is pushed aside and eventually abandoned. This is the reason that obese patients complain that when they diet they lose the wrong fat or muscle mass. They feel famished, tired, and their face becomes drawn and haggard, but their body shows little signs of improvement. The fat they have come to despise remains with them and the fat the body needs to cover their bones and vital organs depletes. What is the hypothalamus gland? The hypothalamus gland is located in the brain and performs a wide variety of functions. It moderates the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage, and more importantly, your metabolic rate. Skinny•Up™ HCG drops will work with your hypothalamus to reset your metabolism. When you complete the Weight Loss Program, you’ll now be able to keep the weight off. Will I be hungry on the low calorie diet? You should comfortably go about your daily activities while intaking only 500 Calories per day. During the first few days on the diet, you might experience some mild hunger pains. But by the second week, the Skinny•Up™ HCG is circulating regularly in the body and is consuming the abnormal fat, and your appetite will decrease and hunger will be satisfied with the smaller calories consumed. 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. How much weight will I lose? Weight loss will vary among individuals. On an average, people on the Skinny•Up™ Weight Loss Program lose about 1-2 pounds per day but you may lose more, or less. It all depends on the amount of weight you have to lose before starting the diet, whether you follow protocol, and your metabolism rate. Often, people lose 7-14 lbs in the first week. Many times there is a large amount of weight loss in the first week, then a plateau or leveling off of weight loss. This does not mean that your weight loss has stopped. Typically, inches are being lost continuously while on the program, and after a period of time, patients will experience another large drop on the scale. Weight loss is thus achieved in this stair-step fashion. You need to have at least 12 lbs to lose in order to do the 26 day program. Do I have to exercise while on the Skinny•Up™ HCG diet? No. Exercise may increase the amount of weight you lose while on this plan, it is not a significant increase and is not recommended. Being on a 500 calorie diet you can easily become very exhausted. This only leads to discouragement and frustration. A suggestion for those who want to exercise is that you walk for 20 to 30 minutes a day or maybe a few sit-ups. Walking is great exercise and helps relieve stress, keeps the bowels moving, conditions your cardiovascular system, and encourages better blood/oxygen circulation. Is Skinny•Up™ HCG safe for men?

A pound of fat contains about 3000-3,500 calories. Taking the Skinny•Up™ HCG drops on the low calorie diet uses the extra calories from the abnormal fat reserves.

You may experience light headaches during the first week, this is in part because your body is releasing fat cells very rapidly. This is a major detox. You may take an Aspirin or Tylenol as long as it’s not sugar coated. Can I Drink Alcohol on the Skinny•Up™ HCG Diet? It is recommended that you avoid alcohol if possible. Remember, you are only able to consume 500 calories per day and that should be food!

Lotions, moisturizers or liquid make-ups with oil should not be used. Skinny•Up™ HCG is very sensitive to oils, creams and fats and could slow the weight loss process down; you only want it to target your stored fat.

Skinny•Up™ HCG drops will not interfere with any form of birth control. Why are pregnant women not skinny if it is a hormone produced by them? Skinny•Up™ HCG is a natural hormone found in large amounts in pregnant women. It works by tapping into the abnormal fat reserves to provide fuel for both mother and baby. But pregnant women generally consume enough calories for energy, therefore eliminating any need for the body to tap into those abnormal fat reserves. For weight loss, a very low calorie diet of all the right foods is used to trigger Skinny•Up™ HCG to help rid the body of fat. Will I experience any changes in my menstrual cycle taking Skinny•Up™ HCG? Because the amount of Skinny•Up™ HCG is so small, there should be no changes to your menstrual cycle.
