BEFORE YOU STARTWe suggest that before you start any program, no-we insist that you consult with your medical doctor before stating any new supplement program and/or diet. Once cleared, you may then begin the “A Way of Living” hCG weight loss system.

In the Simeons’ hCG Diet Protocol you are taught about the overfeeding start of the diet (known as the “gorge”). This usually doesn’t make sense to most that start hCG program, embrace it because it’s really the fun part. The gorge is easy to accept when you know the reason according to Doctor Simeon. When you gorge for 2 days on anything and everything and all of a sudden you introduce a VLCD (very low calorie diet plus hCG), the hypothalamus goes into emergency mode, mostly produced by a reaction of the adrenal glands. This process causes the hypothalamus to burn normal reserve fat. This is known as emergency storage fat. If you do not do the gorge diet or stage properly you will experience great hunger the 5th-7th day of the program, so it is absolutely important to follow the plan accordingly.

The purpose of these two adrenaline hormones is to adjust your system to any potential danger even though initially there is no danger. Thousands of years ago man ate as he went along in the day. Typically we were nibblers; we were not gorgers. Man had seasons of plenty and seasons of little, generally speaking, it was in the summertime when we had a lot and the winter tended to be harsh and hard. The body would adjust to this. We don’t usually begin to see obesity emerge in our society until man instituted daily regular meals. Hey, we all like breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as the next guy. But do we really need to eat bacon & eggs with hash browns for breakfast, only to eat a hamburger, fries and coke for lunch followed that evening with pizza with the family? Only to do this day after day! Sooner or later something’s got to give. Remember the Greek root word for obesity is to “over eat.”

HERE IS THE GOOD NEWSStart taking hCG during the first 2 days of the program and you can eat (overfeed) this much food. By the third day, you introduce a VLCD (very low calorie diet), your organism will interpret this as a danger (even though there is no danger) and the hypothalamus will go into a burn/emergency mode. It will begin to access fat to compensate.

THE RESULTS: The mobilization of fat from connective tissue (adipose tissue) thus increasing your energy levels and extreme weight lost. Normally, it’s about a pound a day and a lot of inches. Remember fat is a great source of nutritious energy. The Main Function of the Hypothalamus is Homeostasis.

Well, what does the hypothalamus maintain? Pituitary gland regulation Blood pressure regulation Hunger and salt cravings. Feeding

reflexes. Body Temperature. Heart rate.

Bladder functions. Water preservation.

Ovarian function. Testicular function. Mood and behavioral functions and

sleep patterns.

P a g e | 4 It is a regulatory mechanism that

controls your hunger, your metabolism and the rate at which your body burns and stores fat for energy.

How Can The Hypothalamus do all this?It has to receive inputs about the state of the body. It must begin to be able to initiate or make changes and adjust if things get out of whack. Factors such as blood pressure, body weight, body temperature, to mention a few, establish a body set point. This set point may fluctuate over time but it will remain remarkably fixed. What happens during the diet Phase II is that hCG and the Hypothalamus begin to provide a key to access abnormal fat. It accesses fat that has accumulated around the “size area” of the body. The results may return you to your “body contour or shape”. This is why Dr. Simeons scientific paper is called Pounds and Inches. You may download this information from our website www.the-naturalsolution.com.

What does all this have to do with me being overweight?It is suggested that the Hypothalamus does not receive input about the extra energy in order to stop the intake of energy (overeating) …once this starts it is hard to lose the adipose tissue (fat). Over time even eating small amounts of food can cause weight increase because of this dysfunction. This is a never ending cycle. Many people report even after eating a big meal they don’t seem to be satisfied. The food cravings continue.

It appears that almost everything the Hypothalamus does is related in some way to weight loss and controlled weight loss. Most simply put, when the hypothalamus is “broken”, food becomes increasingly more important and yet increasingly unfulfilling.

We end up never feeling satisfied with the foods which we have eaten, gradually eating more and more to try to compensate for whatever is lacking! From a metabolism standpoint, the Hypothalamus not only governs the motivation to eat, but most importantly how eating is to be experienced and reflected upon. hCG and the Hypothalamus will begin to provide the key to access that abnormal fat or what we call “shape fat.” This is also noted as the “size part” of the body.

The Good News The Natural Solution’s hCG Weight Loss Solution will begin the process of helping the hypothalamus regulatory systems to regain its proper function. You are about to discover the fastest, safest way to burn fat and reshape your body within just a matter of weeks. Whether you want to lose 5-10 or 30 -50 pounds the “A Way of Living” weight loss solution is for you. This system is based on good science. With the solution

your body actually learns to eat itself back to a thinner more sculpted you. A sensible nutritious program to get you back to your healthy body. You’ll be amazed as you begin to see the pounds literally melt off. “A Way of Living” helps change the way you think about food not only during the system, but

INTRODUCTION TO HCG

History Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, or hCG, is a natural human hormone produced by the placenta of pregnant women.  One of the purposes of hCG during pregnancy is to ensure the growing baby has a constant and steady supply of energy and nutrients by mobilizing the reserves stored in the mothers adipose (fat) tissue.

The use of hCG for weight loss was developed  by Dr. A. T. W. Simeons of Salvador Mundi International Hospital, in Rome, Italy, in the 1950's and 60's.  Dr. Simeons realized that regularly timed small doses of hCG in the average person, men and women who are not pregnant, would have the same effect, mobilizing approximately 2000 -2500 calories worth of stored energy, or 1 pound of body fat, making it available for use by the body.  During the 1970's, it was one of the most popular weight loss programs in the United States, and is now seeing resurgence in popularity. This use to be a diet only for the wealthy and famous; it is now available to you. Take the time and mentally determine that you are going to give it everything you’ve got to LOSE POUNDS and INCHES. Try to emotionally or physically bypass friends and family members that cause doubt, pressure, and negativity of you being on this solution. When you are successful and they see results ~ their tune will change.

General Functions of the Hypothalamus are of extreme importance for the body, such as:

Weight Regulating Mechanism controlling hunger

It controls your metabolism & the rate at which your body burns fat deposits and stores fat release for energy

Regulates sleep cycles Hormonal regulation Energy levels, & thirst

P a g e | 6 Mood & a host of other functions

Hypothalamus

ADIPOSE TISSUENote: TOXINS can cause an abnormal hypothalamus. Primary causes can come from yeast, fungus, caloric intake, inflammation, stress and genetics. Understanding of hCGThe hCG treatment for weight loss has been very popular because of the hundreds of results people have obtained.

Taking daily doses of hCG in addition to a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) has been known to decrease body weight without any adverse side effects. Many people around the world have benefited from this safe and effective weight loss treatment.

3 KINDS OF FAT1. Structural FatThis kind of fat fills the gap between various organs; a sort of packing material. It protects coronary arteries and keeps skin smooth and taut. We all need this kind of fat for our health and protection.

2. Normal Reserve of Fat

P a g e | 7This fat is what the body freely draws from. With this kind of fat as normal reserve in most cases the body contour (shape) is still visible. Normal Reserve fat is a nutritional form of energy.

3. Abnormal Fat ReserveThis is typically adipose tissue. This kind of fat accumulation is when the overweight patient suffers. Even though it is a potential source of energy, unlike the normal reserve it is not available to the body as a nutritional source. It is as though a key has been lost; it is locked away and hard to lose.

How to release fat

hCG Sublingual Oral Solution and the hypothalamus provide a KEY. It opens a door and allows access to hard to lose FAT. The hCG will metabolize stored Abnormal Body Fat, about 2000 -

2500 calories of fat a day! That is almost a pound (and inches) daily. Additional Plan: a 800 Very Low Calorie Diet

This is why your body doesn’t have to tell itself it is hungry. You are actually metabolizing 2000-2500 calories a day. That is why you can lose 1 lb a day. Many report losing “30 lbs in 30 days.”

Don’t panic! It works this way by tricking the Hypothalamus to begin to access fat in the body contour areas. As far as the Hypothalamus is concerned, you are eating 2500 calories daily. It mobilizes fat from the Abnormal Fat Reserves; therefore, being a regulatory mechanism it doesn't have to tell the body it is hungry. The VLCD is explained later in the meal plan.

How do I get the mobilized fat out of the body?

WATER, WATER, WATER. Your body needs 8 oz glasses of water a day just to begin to

flush toxins out.

Health benefits of drinking water: Higher pH is better.

Helps regulate appetite Increases metabolism Boost energy levels Prevents dehydration Alleviate some headaches

Release toxic waste products

Improves skin

What about Exercise?

NO Exercise for Two Weeks: Especially Cardio.

P a g e | 8Exception: If you are in excellent shape or an athlete you can stay to your program. Otherwise, you may walk, swim, do floor and ball exercise or yoga. KEY: Low heart rate exercise only.

ARE YOU READY TO START?

The Loading Phase: This is absolutely necessary to follow!

1. Start The Natural Solution’s hCG sublingual oral solution & gorge 2 days. Eat…eat…and eat some more. Have fun and enjoy yourself. This part is very important. If you do not eat a lot, you can be very hungry on the 5th, 6th, & 7th day. By the 3rd day (starting the VLCD) the hypothalamus begins to release fat as energy. Drink lots of water.

2. Start 3rd Day /Weigh yourself and log it, take your hCG sublingual oral solution, start VLCD which is 800 calories a day; No more No Less!!!

P a g e | 9

3. Continue regime. Do ketones test on 4th & 5th day. If no color is showing, “do not eat” fruit or tomatoes that day. Check ketones every 2-3 days. This is a measurement to see if you are burning fat. Look for a trace amount on ketone strip.

4. Take daily hCG Sublingual oral solution for six days (same time ever day). No solution on the 7th day. Ok, here we go. Listed below is a sample meal. You can find many recipes in our Cookbook and also on our website at www.The-NaturalSolution.com

THE MEAL PLANBreakfast

A DAY ON THE HCG SOLUTION

Monday Breakfast

Drink your water before your meal Green Tea or Coffee. Lots of water Protein Shake

Monday Lunch

Drink your water before your meal. 100 grams (3.5 oz) Boneless Chicken Breast ¾ cup spinach with sliced radishes and cucumbers (add non sugar balsamic (1 tbsp). You can

add herbs into your dressing (check the labels) OPTION: Add tomatoes on salad (Counted as fruit) FRUIT - 5 large strawberries

Monday Dinner

Drink your water before your meal 100 grams (3.5 oz) Halibut 4 spears of Asparagus

P a g e | 11 No fruit here if you have one for breakfast.

By the end of the day, you should have consumed 64 oz. of water. (this is water on its own; it does not count in your tea, coffee).

Hot Pepper, Herbs and Spices You may season any of the food with the juice of half an organic lemon, stevia sweetener, white or black pepper, organic raw apple cider or balsamic vinegar, sea salt, organic garlic, organic basil, organic parsley, organic thyme, organic marjoram, or any other organic herb. Absolutely no oil , NO butter (butter buds okay), salad dressings, no substitutes! These can deactivate hCG. Any hot pepper that has not been pickled is allowed.

KETONESKETONESTest First in the Morning Urine. Test on Day two and three of the VLCD and only if you are in a plateau. If you are not showing ketones and not losing weight or inches, eliminate all fruit from your diet for the next 48 hours then test again in AM. If still no ketones, eliminate all tomatoes AND fruit from the diet for the next 48 hours and then test in AM. If still not showing ketones AND not losing weight and or inches, call our office @ 800-591-1960. When the body is in the fat burning state — where it has no carbohydrate to burn and is breaking down body fat for fuel, the body is in a state of ketosis-lipolysis (ketosis for short.) This is the only metabolic pathway for fat breakdown (lipolysis.) Therefore, there is no lipolysis without ketosis, no ketosis without lipolysis. The two terms are biologically linked and, therefore, it is appropriate that they be linguistically linked. So being in ketosis simply means that you're burning your fat stores and using them as the source of fuel they were meant to be. This is where the test strips come in.

REASONS TO TESTWhile they are in no way the only way to full proof your diet, most of us feel more secure with a way to test to know if we are in ketosis at any given time and at what level. The test strips provide a quick and private way to determine that. Simply dip the reagent end of the strip into a urine specimen (collected in a clean disposable cup) and remove immediately. Or alternatively, (the method most of us prefer), wet reagent area of the strip by passing through the urine stream. Tap edge of strip to remove excess liquid and check color within 10-15 seconds against the color chart provided on all test strip brands' bottles. A beige or cream color indicates NO KETOSIS detected. Any shade of pink/purple indicates some level of ketones in the urine.

P a g e | 12Some people get very hung up on the fact that their friend's/husband's/daughter's etc strip shows a darker color all the time, etc. We are all different. Some of us lose better (and feel better) at lighter or darker levels. You'll soon learn what feels right for you. You basically are testing by asking yourself “Am I burning fat?”

What if your sticks don't "turn"?Keep in mind that it's possible to keep your actual carb count low (say at around 30 grams), and still side-step ketosis. The culprits? Most often it's from eating foods that contain even a small amount of "High Fructose Corn Syrup" (HFCS), which can cause a strong insulin spike and halt fat burning. HFCS is far more destructive to your health and your weight loss than regular sugar. You might also be a person who reacts to aspartame intake with an insulin release. There have been reports that up to 25% of people have such a reaction to aspartame (NutraSweet.) An appreciable amount of trans fats in the diet can also halt weight loss and fat breakdown. Why? Because trans fats are artificial fats that the body fails to recognize as "real", and attempts simply to store them, taking an "I'll deal with it some other time" approach. This is why we use MCT oil. It deals with it quickly and efficiently.

THINGS TO AVOID CHEWING GUM OF ANY KIND. It can stimulate hunger cravings. Non organic skin care, cosmetics, conditioners, chemical shampoos Sulfite containing foods (commercially smoked beef, pork, fowl) Monosodium glutamate (MSG) Artificial sweeteners, (NutraSweet, Splenda, Saccharin) Trans-fats, (hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils) Alcoholic beverages of any kind NO Fruit Juices of any kind.(Mangosteen is an exception) Over-the-counter drugs without the advice of a licensed physician Genetically modified food (try to buy organic) Farm raised fish

Constipation

Due to the restricted diet, it is common to have an evacuation of the bowel only once every two to three days provided that plenty of fluids are taken as directed. BUT, if you have no bowel movements for two or three days and you stop losing weight, you must get the bowels moving again. Ground flax seed or Tri Magnesium will help move the bowels. If your stools are so dry as to be uncomfortable during evacuation, contact your physician.

Fluctuations in Weight Loss

After the fourth or fifth day of dieting, the daily loss of weight begins to decrease to one pound or somewhat less per day, and there is a smaller urinary output. Men often continue to lose regularly at that rate, but women are more irregular in spite of faultless dieting. There may be no drop at all for two or three days and then a sudden loss, which re-establishes the normal average. These fluctuations are more in likely variations due to retention and elimination of water, which, are more marked in women

P a g e | 13than in men. Test for ketones. A positive test result indicates you are still burning fat.

Past Fixed Degree of Obesity

If some period of your life you have maintained a certain “fixed degree of obesity” for five years or more and at some time rapidly increased beyond that weight, then in the course of treatment the former level is reached. It may take two weeks of no loss, in spite of HCG and diet, before further reduction is normally resumed.

Menstruation The fourth type of interruption is the one, which often occurs a few days before and during the menstrual period and in some women at the time of ovulation. It must also be mentioned that when a woman becomes pregnant during treatment – and this is by no means uncommon – she at once ceases to lose weight. An unexplained arrest of reduction has on several occasions raised our suspicion before the first period was missed. If in such cases, menstruation is delayed, then stop injecting and do a pregnancy test five days later. No pregnancy test should be carried out earlier than five days after the last injection, as otherwise the HCG may give a false positive result. Oral contraceptives may be used during treatment.

Dietary Errors If you have weight gain, it is 99% because you have strayed from the diet plan, unless it happens on or about the day of ovulation or during the three days preceding the onset of menstruation, in which case it is to be ignored. It cannot be emphasized enough that to average a daily loss of three quarters to one pound a day, you must follow the regimen strictly.

Cheating People are always surprised at gaining weight the following day from a salted almond, a couple of potato chips, a small glass of tomato juice or an extra orange.

The smallest error is immediately detectable at the daily weighing, but most people have to go through the experience before they will believe it.

Cosmetics/ Skin Care

When weight loss is not forthcoming, then cosmetics may be the reason. Cosmetics frequently interfere with weight reduction. The fats, oils, creams and ointments applied to the skin are absorbed just as if they have been eaten. Normally there is not a problem, but remember our skin is the largest organ of human body. Talk to our doctor and staff about alternatives.

Check with our staff about organic skin care products that may help you on this program.

ACCEPTABLE HCG PRODUCTS MCT Oil

This is the only oil you can use on this diet. You can only use about 2 tbsp a day.

MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides. Most naturally occurring fats are triglycerides - tri meaning that each molecule have three carbon chains. In the medium chain triglycerides each chain has 6 - 12 carbon atoms, and for the medically refined grades of MCT oil each chain has 8 - 10 carbon atoms. MCT oils occur naturally, and the most abundant source is coconut oil. Most MCT oil is refined from coconut oil. MCT oil is a clear light colored liquid with no flavor and low viscosity. It is often sold in an

P a g e | 14emulsified form, which is easier to digest; in this case it looks like a white milky liquid.

MCT oil is interesting because, when it is metabolized in the body, it behaves rather more like a carbohydrate than a fat. The fuel of preference for the body is carbohydrate, and the body will use up its store of carbohydrate before using other fuels. Carbohydrates are quick acting - athletes take glucose tablets to provide energy, the body heats rapidly when we drink alcohol - typically carbohydrates will be used within a few hours of eating, which is why we eat so frequently. By contrast, the primary role of fats is to store energy - animals fatten up to prepare for the rigor of winter. The body normally tries to store the fats we eat, but will use them as fuel if there is not enough available from carbohydrates; first it will use the fats in the food, and if these are insufficient it will start to deplete the fat storage in our body tissue. Fats metabolize more slowly and typically it will take a day or so for the fat content of food to be used. That is why we feel full after a fatty meal, and why it really is a good thing to line to stomach with milk before drinking - the fat slows down the metabolism of the alcohol. Long chain fats (ie the normal varieties) are converted into chemicals called chylomicrons by the digestive system, and these are then transported around the body by the lymphatic system before entering the circulatory system. This is a relatively slow process, and so fats metabolize more slowly than carbohydrates. Unlike other fats, MCT oil does not go into the lymphatic system; instead it is transported directly to the liver where it is metabolized, so releasing energy quickly, just like a carbohydrate, and creating lots of ketones in the process.

OTHER HCG FAQ’SHCG Diet Frequently Asked Questions

What is HCG and how does it work?

HCG is a hormone naturally produced in the body. It has many functions and is used medically to treat a variety of conditions. It is the pregnancy hormone. This hormone allows the body to metabolize fat and use it as energy for both mother and fetus. This acts as a “fail-safe” mechanism when energy is needed immediately. For weight loss, we use only a very small amount of HCG to capitalize on this same mechanism. Using HCG in this way does not mimic pregnancy; in fact, it can be safely used by both men and women.

Is HCG Safe? HCG is extremely safe. Women may experience very high levels during pregnancy with no adverse affects. Currently there are no known established clinical side effects to sublingual homeopathic remedies and medicines but as with any diet we recommend that you consult with a doctor before

P a g e | 15starting this diet and if you have any swelling, shortness of breath, dizziness or heavy redness consult a doctor or medical professional immediately.

Where is the actual HCG manufactured and what are the quality control guidelines? Our exclusive “A Way of Living” hCG Weight Loss Solution that we provide on this site is manufactured by our own laboratory, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, that has been producing sublingual homeopathic formulas for more than 20 years. Regular inspections by the FDA ensure compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) for your safety.

What sets For-Ever Slim’s hCG Solution apart from the rest? Most importantly, your trust in the brand is our number one priority. The Natural Solution is staffed by an M.D., Chemist and Pharmacist. Everyone is on board here and ready to help with your weight loss success. You will not find this product being sold by other companies; it is a proprietary formula using more expensive quality ingredients that work. Our unique formula has many advantages like added natural appetite suppressants, energy supplements and more to help optimize this diet to the fullest. Customers report to us on a daily basis that they really do feel much better and have less hunger issues on this formula compared to the other prescription and sublingual homeopathic formulas available on the market. What is the difference between prescription and non-prescription HCG? Prescription HCG is usually pure pharmaceutical grade HCG with no supporting elements to help it perform at 100%. Prescription HCG can be very effective but must be obtained and monitored only by a licensed medical physician or it is considered against law along with very expensive. Pure HCG is usually administered by injection only.

Our Sublingual Oral hCG Solutions are sublingual homeopathically derived and blended with other effective natural ingredients, which not only makes it legally obtainable without a prescription, but also makes it safe and more affordable, with the same average weight losses of prescription HCG.

Is HCG safe for men? The HCG hormone is naturally present in men. It is found in every human tissue, including males, pregnant women, and non-pregnant women. Men get even faster results and tend to lose more weight than women.

If HCG works so well for weight loss, why don’t pregnant women lose weight? HCG works to mobilize fat for utilization by the body only when there is a significant decrease in calories and fat. For weight loss, a very low calorie diet of all the right foods is used to trigger HCG to help rid the body of fat.

Will my metabolism slow down if I am on a very low calorie diet? It is true that normally when cutting back on calories and fat, our body stores fat and our metabolism slows down. This happens because fat is really a life-saving source of stored energy. When a very low calorie diet is used in conjunction with the HCG, the hormone signals the body to used stored fat for energy, and will eliminate excess fat reserves. It is a natural process, so no ill effects on your metabolism will result. The HCG keeps the body from going into starvation mode and holding onto fat as it resets your metabolism.

Wouldn't I lose the same amount of weight eating a very low calorie diet without HCG? You can lose weight simply by eating fewer calories and fat, but because the body stores fat during times of deprivation, you will most likely lose muscle and bone before fat. This causes cellular metabolism to slow down, so in the long run, it would make gaining weight easier, as well as decrease

P a g e | 16bone density and muscle mass. By using HCG with the low calorie diet, extra fat is mobilized for energy and the rest is eliminated; the low calorie diet is vital in preventing immediate refilling of emptied fat cells. You benefit by preferentially getting rid of excess fat without affecting your bone and muscle. With HCG you can lose the weight quickly and keep it off!

The hCG Solution is very low calorie, will I get hungry? It is common to feel mild hunger during the first few days. This will pass and by the second week you will find your servings to be satisfying. Because hCG mobilizes fat and makes it available to the body as an energy source, it naturally reduces appetite. So even though you are taking in fewer calories, your body can access the energy you have stored in fat cells. Drinking lots of the green tea all day (we like the cold fruity sweet one sweetened with stevia) helps a ton as a natural appetite suppressant and your energy level. Overall, most people have plenty of energy and feel good while on the program.

Will hCG interfere with any medications I am currently taking? What about birth control pills or Depo-Provera injections? Sublingual homeopathic hCG formulas do not interact with ANY medications, including birth control pills or Depo-Provera. Even though there are currently NO clinically proven side effects to our Sublingual homeopathic weight loss solution, as with any diet we do recommend consulting with your doctor to make sure this diet is for you.

Will I experience any changes in my menstrual cycle taking HCG? Because the amount of hCG is so small, there are no changes to your menstrual cycle. Likewise, hCG will not affect your ability to become pregnant, nor will it increase your chances of getting pregnant. It is best to avoid starting the hCG Diet if you are within 5-6 days of your menstrual period. Wait until after your menstrual period is complete to start hCG. Once on hCG and you have a menstrual cycle, you can maintain the diet and continue taking hCG.

What about pregnancy and taking hCG? If you are pregnant or become pregnant during the hCG diet, stop taking and consult your physician.

Why are some people calling hCG the "Weight Loss Cure"? hCG is also being called the "Weight Loss Cure" because after taking it for weight loss, it reprograms your body to use stored fat for energy when calories are reduced for a period of time. It helps you maintain your weight and not regain the pounds you lost.

How much weight can I expect to lose on the program? Most people will lose 26 pounds on the 26 day program. Everyone is different. It depends on many factors including how much excess weight you have and how much needs to be lost. Often, people lose 7-14 lbs in the first week. You need to have at least 12 lbs to lose in order to do the 26 day program.

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

Is it ok to skip a meal or protein at one of my meals?

P a g e | 17No! You don't ever want to skip any of your meals. It’s important to eat all of your 800 calories and especially your protein so that you only lose fat and not muscle.

Can I exercise daily? If you must exercise, low key exercise only. You can do about 20 min. of walking a day and a few sit ups or push-ups if you feel that is needed. Exercise burns calories and therefore causes your hunger to increase. The combination of low calorie intake and exercise could cause your body to go into starvation mode. This can negatively impact your stamina and commitment to the diet. So take it easy. And remember, you will be losing fat. So when you do go back to the gym, it's a skinner, more energetic you!

Do I have to take vitamins while doing this diet? You must take B12 everyday. This will increase with energy and increase your metabolism. Also a good Multi Vitamin helps, make sure it is sugar free and has no fat soluble ingredients like fish oils or vitamin D. Potassium is also good especially if you experience leg cramps (which can be common while on this diet). Calcium/magnesium combo is also a good one to take if needed.

Is it normal to get a headache during the first week? Some people may experience light headaches during the first week, this is because your body is releasing fat cells very rapidly and you will be going through a major detox. You may take an Aspirin or Tylenol as long as it's not sugar coated.

Can I take the drops longer than 26 days if I want to keep losing weight? Yes! You can take them up to 40 days. After 40 days you must take a break for how many days you were on the solution before you start another session. This is to make sure your body doesn't become immune to the HCG. 20 days is the shortest amount of days and 40 is the longest you can be on hCG. You will need 2 bottles to go a 40 day round. Just remember the last 3 days of your plan is no hCG and continue solution for 3 days until the hCG is flushed out of your body before going into maintenance. Exercise is encouraged once you start maintenance and are back to 1500-1700 calorie diet.

Can you split up your fruits and eat them when you want? Yes, you can eat them for breakfast or as a snack. Most don't eat them with their meals so they will have a snack when they feel hungry. You get 2 fruits a day.

Can I Drink Alcohol on the HCG Diet? In the original hCG diet protocol by Dr Simeons, it does not mention or account for alcohol. It has found that some hCG Users whom have been drinkers or even those that are borderline alcoholic, do surprisingly well on the hCG diet. If the simple instructions are followed correctly, the hCG diet will get them out of their drinking routine. These Users have even said that they don’t even feel the need to drink while on the hCG diet because hCG works with the hypothalamus gland which controls the emotional eating/ drinking part of the brain, along with other aspects.

Can I wear makeup? No lotions, moisturizers or liquid make-ups with oil. hCG is very sensitive to oils, creams and fats. These could slow the weight loss process down; you only want it to target your stored fat. You can use any mineral makeup or pressed powders and of course oil free foundations are fine. Other types of eye makeup and lipstick are fine. Stay away from lip glosses and chapstick. If your lips get dry the protocol says to use Carmex. It also says if needed you can use mineral oil (baby oil) if needed as a moisturizer. Alba makes an oil free moisturizer that is great for face and hands/arms.

What is Homeopathy?Basically put, homeopathy is a system of wellness treatment. The sublingual homeopathic system of

P a g e | 18wellness treatment varies from the medical care system on a very basic level. Individuals seeking treatment through the medical care system visit a doctor seeking relief for specific problems and/or symptoms. The majority of cases are treated with drugs. The same symptoms/problems presented to a sublingual homeopathic professional would not be treated singly. Symptoms are treated as indications of deeper, core issues. They indicate basic imbalances within the systems of the body that are often ignored by professionals in the medical care system. When symptoms are treated while ignoring the core issue that is causing the presentation of the symptom at hand the symptoms (or similar symptoms) quickly reassert themselves. This is commonly referred to as a disease. The cycle of symptoms continues due to the fact that a high number of treatments alleviate symptoms one by one while doing nothing to treat the core issue that is causing symptoms to present. Sublingual homeopathic treatments focus on these core issues instead of treating each individual symptom. The human body is an intelligent organism. It is capable of creating balance out of imbalances in its own functioning systems. It only needs to have access to the right substances to achieve the balance. Sublingual homeopathic treatments create the opportunity for the body to rectify imbalances by providing the substances needed for healing and strengthening. Symptoms cease presenting as sublingual homeopathic treatment takes effect against basic imbalances in the body.

The Natural Solution™ hCG formula stimulates the body’s natural ability to make adjustments to alleviate imbalances. They work on a cellular level and use the natural healing abilities of the body to rectify core issues in the body’s systems. They work directly with the root of the problem rather than scratching the surface by treating individual symptoms. Rather than labeling chronic symptom presentation as a common “disease” of aging sublingual homeopathic treatments get to the root of the issue.

The following disclaimer is required by the FDA:

HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it 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-restricted diets. The

FDA has not approved HCG for weight loss.
