BioDiets Medical Weight Loss

BioDiets is a medically supervised weight loss program using Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) as a means to lose weight, improve body composition, and prevent rapid weight gain when the “diet” is over.

We have designed this BioDiets program to address weight loss on many different levels. We feel it is extremely important for you to know and understand what is happening in your body on a physical, mental, and emotional level. With this insight and awareness, your success for your initial weight loss and for keeping the weight off in the future can be drastically improved.

Our BioDiets program is not like any other weight loss program available. We not only provide you with the necessary HCG hormone, but we also provide the food education, weekly check-ins, mental/emotional support with our certified psychologist, informative talks from our nutritionist, and a series of classes that address lifestyle changes that will allow you to achieve optimal success.

This is not just another fad diet that uses pharmaceutical interventions and sets you up for rapid weight gain when you are finshed. Nor is this a program that you will have to continue with long term pills, bars, pre‐made meals, shakes, etc. Rather, what BioDiets does is help you lose weight in a healthy way, removes the abnormal fat stores from hard to reach areas of your body, and changes brain function in order to help prevent the rapid weight gain that is so common when “dieting”.

Please take time to read all of the information included in this Web site. By familiarizing yourself with all of the material and the requirements of our BioDiets program, you are improving your likelihood for successful weight loss and for maintaining that weight loss in your future.

All of the doctors and staff at BioDiets are committed to your success! We are here to support you in your health journey in any way that we can. We are also very grateful to be a part of your change, as we understand the challenges that many people face with weight loss.

How HCG Works
Human Chorionic Gonadatropin (HCG) is a hormone that is naturally produced in the body, in both women and men. It has been called the “pregnancy hormone”, but it actually performs many functions in the body and is used to treat a variety of medical conditions.

HCG is called the “pregnancy hormone” because it is produced in very high amounts when a woman is pregnant. It is produced in these high amounts during pregnancy in order to maintain progesterone production, help with immune tolerance, and help provide a constant amount of nutrition and energy production for both the mother and the growing fetus. During pregnancy, a woman will produce over 1,000,000 units/day. Using it for weight loss, we introduce 125‐180 units/day. Using low‐dose HCG in this way is very safe and does not mimic pregnancy.

HCG encourages weight loss by mobilizing stored fat, most commonly from the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. The body then utilizes this stored fat for energy and nutrition, just as it does during pregnancy. It only does this, however, if HCG is used in combination with a specific calorie restricted diet. A “starvation” state must exist for HCG to work.

Using HCG alone will not provide the wanted weight loss results, just as using calorie restriction to create a “starvation” state alone will not provide healthy weight loss results. It is therefore very important to follow the BioDiets Program as it is designed, in order to achieve your weight loss goals and be healthy along the way.
Using HCG not only allows the body to get rid of the stored fat, but it also changes the fat‐storage regulatory system in the brain in order to prevent rebound weight gain and to have a more efficient fat storage function for the future.

Our Program Guidlines

Our BioDiets Programs are all divided into four phases:

Phase 1 
This phase is the preparatory phase. You will be preparing your body physically and emotionally for the program.

Phase 2
This phase is the main weight loss phase. This phase consists of the calorie restricted diet and the daily HCG injections:
26 Day Program = 23 HCG injections + 26 days of diet (500 kcal/day)
33 Day Program = 30 HCG injections + 33 days of diet (500 kcal/day)
49 Day Program = 40 HCG injections + 49 days of diet (500 kcal/day)

Phase 3
This is the maintenance phase. During this 3 week phase, your body will lock in the recent weight loss and will stabilize at its new weight. It is vitally important to follow all instructions in this phase so that you will not regain the weight that you just lost.

Phase 4
This is the lifelong phase. 
Changes in diet, attitude, and lifestyle will assure your lifelong success for healthy living.
