Frequently Asked Questions

Q.1) Is HCG safe for men?

Ans. The HCG is actually already found in men. It is found in every human tissue, including males and non pregnant women as well as pregnant. The clinical studies conducted at our SlimXpress™ hCG centers show that men generally get even faster results and tend to lose more weight than women.

Q.2) Does the weight loss slow down after the first two weeks?

Ans. Many times there is a large amount of weight loss in the first, then a plateau of leveling off. 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. Remember the SlimXpress™ hCG program emphases fat and inch loss.

Q.3) Is it ok to skip a meal or protein at one of my meals?

Ans. No you don't ever want to skip any of your meals. It’s important to eat all of your 500 calories and especially your protein so that you only lose fat and not muscle.

Q.4) Can I exercise daily?

Ans. Low key or no exercise only! Anyone who over exercises will be starving and will want to give up, plus their body will go into starvation mode and they will lose less weight! Your calorie intake is not high enough for this. You can do about 20 min. of walking a day and a few sit ups or push ups if you feel needed. You will not be losing muscle just fat, so when you go back to the gym you won't skip a beat, you will just be thinner!!!

Disclaimer:

HCG is a drug which has not been approved by the food and drug administration as safe and effective in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There is no substantial evidence that HCG 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-restrictive diets.

Common uses of HCG: HCG is presently relied upon as a medication for fertility and it is also used to safely promote the production of testosterone in males.It is not approved by the FDA for weight loss.

HCG Side effects: The HCG side effects one will have to keep an eye out for include the onset of headaches, irritability, restlessness, slight water retention, tenderness of breast tissue, swelling of the injection sight, and depression. There are some rare, severe side effects as well which include the development of ovarian hyperstimulation in females. The latter condition requires immediate medical treatment and is accompanied by the following symptoms: tremendous pain in the region of the pelvis, the swelling of feet, legs, and hands, abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, a diminishing of urination, and weight gain. If a user of HCG products notes any side effects it is recommended that he or she cease using the products immediately and that he or she seek out the assistance of a physician.

*As with any weight loss program, there are no guarantees for individual weight loss.

Individual success is dependent upon a variety of factors.
