Once you have had your assessment and review, you are ready to proceed to the first Phase of your weight loss plan. There are several unique aspects to the program.
The Prescription Sublingual drops: The sublingual drops are medically prescribed HCG. HCG hormone is naturally produced by every cell of the body in women, men and children, and decreases in abundance with age. It is a glycoprotein (a sugar and protein molecule) and is usually found in high amounts during pregnancy. The female pregnant body uses the HCG during pregnancy to release fat for her developing foetus. In men HCG can raise testosterone levels modestly by mimicking the action of another hormone known luteinising hormone (LH). This hormone effect can result in improved energy levels even during weight loss phase. History Of HCG: In the 1950’2 Dr A T W Simeons, a British physician designed a successful and permanent fat loss and re-sculpting program. His manual is called POUNDS AND INCHES. (Reference: 1) Dr Simeon’s findings were endorsed by a study by Dr. Lebon published in 1961 in The Lancet. (Reference: 2 & 3) In 1963 a double blind study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Craig et al) stated that at the 6 month review of the HCG treated group had maintained a weight loss of nearly three times the amount in the control group. More importantly they commented that the weight gain in the 40-day diet was more common in the control group and that the measures of increased metabolic rate were shown in the HCG treated group. (Reference 4) Despite Dr Simeon’s detailed findings, other published research there has been little large scale; placebo controlled double blind studies published on the HCG protocol. The most recent was by Dr Daniel Belluscio in 2002, Argentina and he found both placebo and HCG arms lost considerable weight but a significant improvement was seen in the mental health of the HCG patients whilst in fat burning phase. (Reference 5). Whilst we know the HCG protocol will result in weight loss, the program suitability is decided in consultation with your doctor and Pharmacist. What we do know about HCG: (Reference 6)
How HCG works: The HYPOTHALAMUS is a gland in the brain, which controls hunger and body weight. One of the roles of the HCG in pregnancy is to signal the HYPOTHALAMUS to release stored fat. This fuel can be used as energy and nourishment during pregnancy, to enhance the wellbeing of mother and foetus. HCG gives the Hypothalamus a message to release reserves of long term stored fat, usually stored in our abdomen, thighs and hips, but also to a lesser degree, our arms knees, back and neck. (Reference 6) The HCG taken in conjunction with a 500 calorie (2100 kilojoule) DIET (VLCD= Very Low Calorie diet)) liberates fat into the bloodstream (as if you had eaten a big fatty meal). This may explain why people report having little or no appetite on this protocol. The key to success relies on using the HCG drops for a minimum of 21 consecutive days whilst maintaining the VLCD (500 calories a day). If you can commit to this then read on if not please stop now and ask about our other weight loss options. When this program is followed correctly, HCG may reset and increase the body’s METABOLSIM. (Reference 1) THIS IS THE KEY TO MAKING SURE YOUR WEIGHT WILL STAY OFF. Dr Simeons implied that overeating was the result of weight gain and not the cause, and HCG was the bank teller to the “Fat Bank” and facilitated “fat” withdrawals. (Reference 1) The HCG Prescription Strength Sublingual Drops are only available on prescription as they contain the HCG hormone unlike the homeopathic drops available online or in a health food stores. THE COMPOUNDING LAB prepares the sublingual drops for you with a tailored weight loss option prepared by our qualified weight management specialist. We ensure you maintain the new you. 
Getting Ready Plan when you are going to start the program. Many people make the mistake of starting before they have made the required preparations. You need to commit to at least 6 weeks to complete the program properly. Do not start the program if it will coincide with special occasions where you maybe tempted to overindulge. Start the loading Phase on a weekday (Friday is good!) We encourage you to visit our Weight Management Specialist during this time to write out your weekly meal plan. Ssupport is available 7 days from the one our dieticians, Weight Management Specialists, and Pharmacists who will be available to answer any questions you may have. Women – if you are still menstruating, calculate your next cycle, and plan to commence the 1st day after your period finishes. (To avoid bloating & fluid retention) What you will need:
THE PROTOCOL: When you are Ready? How to take your Prescription sublingual drops: Your HCG is delivered in sublingual drops (hold in the mouth under the tongue for at least two minutes to ensure complete absorption through the mucosa). Place 0.2ml under your tongue at breakfast and in the afternoon. The Compounding Lab at Terry White Chemists Windsor dispenses the sublingual drops in a 12 ml bottle with a finely graduated syringe to measure 0.2ml. The drops should be stored in the fridge but not frozen. Draw the 0.2ml and place under your tongue and hold for two minutes until absorbed sublingually. If you miss a dose do not panic, but do not double up the next dose . Missing an occasional dose will not interfere with the effectiveness of the program. You can use the drops before or after food. PHASE 1: Loading Phase 2 days The first step is to start the HCG sublingual drops and gorge for two days. It is this first 2 days using the HCG sublingual drops AND eating anything and everything you like that is critical to increase your fat stores. Important to cchoose foods with a high fat and good nutrient content. Loading with high quality foods such as eggs, salmon, nuts, full cream, cheese, milk, avocadoes, roast meat, bacon, sausages etc. is necessary. Avoid heavily processed food or fast food. This step is crucial to your successful fat burning. Those who do not load to the fullest may experience difficult hunger pains during the low calorie phase. PHASE 2: Fat Burn 21 days Continue with the HCG sublingual drops and commence the VLCD (very low calorie diet) of 500 calories per day. This diet plan is managed with you and our dietitian/ nutritionist at Terry White Chemists Windsor. Take your HCG sublingual drops morning and lunch and weigh yourself each morning after going to the toilet. Record your weight, important changes in arm & thigh circumference and other body sites. Consume no more than 500 calories daily. It is important to only eat the listed foods. Do not include anything that is not listed (see food list). From the foods that are listed, you must eat ONLY 2 meals a day e.g. Lunch and dinner Breakfast and Dinner Breakfast and Lunch You may separate the meals into sections e.g. Protein and vegetables, followed by fruit or snack 2 hours later. Use the Calorie counter app you are comfortable with or down load the calorie counter sheets and pre-calculate each meal and day so you plan not to eat more than 500 calories. (www.caloriecount.about.com). It is important to understand this is a LOW carbohydrate diet. Carbohydrates are high in calories so naturally they are avoided as expensive calories. As a rule its best NOT eat any sugars or starches i.e. NO bread, pasta, muffins, cookies, pancakes, grains, rye, barley, potato, corn, soft drinks, cordial, maple syrup, ice cream, cereals, breakfast bars, corn starch, white flour, tortillas, polenta, peas, lentils, pita bread, root vegetables, popcorn, taco shells, squash, bacon, ham, prosciutto, sausages, processed cheese. If NO carbs are eaten, fats and some amounts of alcohol may be included. Even cooking with no oils, this means steaming food or frying or baking in water, herbs but no Oil. Avoid applying any creams & or body lotions for the duration. We package up a Jar of HCG body Cream / Face cream that is Oil free. Alternatively Neutrogena make a product.
Women +0.25-0.5kg/day Men + 0.33-0.75kg/day
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PEOPLE ONLY WANTING TO LOSE A COUPLE OF KILOS If you only want to lose a few kilograms, you will need to follow the protocol through phase 2 until you reach your goal weight. At this point, you will need to increase you calorie intake to the normal levels required for your height and weight (Our Weight Management Specialist calculate your goal weight or go to www.bmi-calculator.net) but in keeping with the approved food list continue your sublingual drops and your revised calorie intake for the full 23 days of Phase 2 before moving onto Phase 3 (Reset). Phase 2: Fat Burn Days Planned Day 3 to 23
It is important to only eat the listed foods or discuss alternatives with our pharmacist, Weight Management Specialist or dietician From the foods that are listed, you must eat only 2 main meals a day, for example Lunch and Dinner OR Breakfast and Dinner. For the third meal of the day fruit and breadstick or rice crackers may be eaten. Any of the hot beverages on the list may be consumed at breakfast and again at any time during the day. For white tea and coffee drinkers a MAXIMUM of one tablespoon (20mls) of milk per day is allowed. Spend approximately 200-250 calories on each of the main meals Phase 3: RESET 21 days Start Phase 3 two days after stopping your Sublingual drops (day 21). So in total you have been on HCG for 23 days. You stop the HCG but continue the low calorie diet. The Reset phase is the most important phase of the program. DO NOT TRY TO LOSE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT DURING THIS PHASE. This is the time when the HYPOTHALAMUS resets your metabolism to your new weight. If you do not allow this phase, you may easily regain the weight in the future. During phase 3, you can increase your calories and foods, gradually reintroducing certain foods. Increase your calorie intake to between 1200 – 1500 calories. Important guidelines apply as follows:
Avoid introducing too many foods at once; try introducing foods one at a time, to determine if a certain food causes weight gain. Introduce lean protein, fruit and vegetables initially and then gradually introduce additional foods – dairy, nuts, so that you can identify any negative response to particular foods. In Phase 3 (Reset), if you are having trouble stabilising your weight – decrease your fats a little by reducing cheeses and oils etc., and increase your protein and vegetables. If you tend to experience fluid fluctuations or retention – increase your fluid intake and salt intake. Mygene is an excellent genetic test to establish what food groups you are more genetically sensitive to and it is now a good time to know your body and teach what food groups you best tolerate. A dietitian offers this test at Terry White Chemists My gene clinic and gives you confidence with your weight management program is optimal for your own individualized heath and weight management. ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE A LOW CALORIE DIET DURING THE RESET PHASE WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF YOU REGAINING THE WEIGHT ONCE YOU REACH YOUR RESET WEIGHT YOU CAN COMMENCE A sachet PROGRAM FOR MAINTENANCE IF REQUIRED or have or dietitian create a menu plan of 1000-calories for you. Menstruating women In menstruating women the best time to start HCG is immediately after your period. Try not to use your HCG SUBLINGUAL during your menstrual cycle. During phase 1 & 2 (loading & VLCD), if you start menstruating, continue on the program (i.e. 500 calories per day), but do NOT use the HCG sublingual drops. Restart the drops only when you have finished your period. You will then have to add on the number of days that you were off the drops to the end of your 21 days before moving on to Phase 3. This may extend your program for 4 or 5 days. If you experience hunger without the sublingual drops use green tea or water with 2-3 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar to curb your appetite. If you are really hungry, increase your calories with more protein to about 800 calories, or contact our weight management specialist or pharmacist for advice.
