50-year old female with high blood pressure, cholesterol, unhealthy blood sugar levels, and a family history of diabetes.

Patient history

This patient entered the HCG Elite Program in November 2008. She suffered from migraine headaches and had been prescribed numerous medications to treat painful joints, insomnia, and high cholesterol (200). Over the past 25 years, patient had periodically tried many weight loss programs with little result.

Patient outcome on HCG Elite Program

Patient began Round 1 of HCG protocol on November 14, 2008 weighing 205.2 lbs with 41% body fat. After 42 days lost 20.8 lbs (184.4 lbs.) and 22 ¾”. Patient remained enthusiastic and followed with Round 2 on January 12, 2009 with a starting weight of 178.4 lbs. She completed this Round losing an additional 10 lbs. and 15”. Her body fat had reached 36.9%. She was very excited about her progress. On February 6, 2009, patient began Round 3 weighing 167.4 lbs. After 32 days, patient weighed 158.2 lbs. and lost an additional 4.8”. Patient completed Round 4 on November 6, 2009 with a total weight loss of 60 lbs. (145.2lbs), 58.3” lost, and 30.4% body fat. She no longer takes medication for joint pain and high cholesterol (now 139), and her blood sugar and blood pressure are within normal range.

Patient update (in her own words)

It has now been one year since I started the HCG diet. I have lost a total of 60 lbs. and many, many inches from my body. When I decided to do this diet, I weighed in at 205 lbs. My clothing size was a 16. Although I was trying to eat healthy and exercise, I couldn’t lose weight.

I now maintain a weight of about 145 lbs. My waist dropped from 39” to 28”. I now wear a size 8. I no longer take some of the medications I used to. I don’t snore (my husband is glad of that). I have hiked South Mountain and Piestewa Peak. I am more active now than I was 20 years ago. This has been an amazing journey. This has not just been about losing weight. This is being determined, focused and successful in my life. It’s about setting and achieving my goals. It’s about purpose. I not only look good, I feel great.

Case Study 2

55-year old female

Patient history

This patient entered the HCG Elite Program in April 2009. She suffered from hypertension, high cholesterol, acid reflux, depression, insomnia, and rheumatoid arthritis. Patient had been prescribed numerous medications to treat the above conditions. A lifetime of poor eating habits led to obesity and subsequent health conditions. Her depression and elevation of blood pressure worsened after the loss of a loved one six months prior to entering our weight loss program. She also had experienced great difficulty sleeping through the night. Surgeries included a hysterectomy in 1990 and gallbladder and tonsils were removed in 2006.

Patient outcome on HCG Elite Program

Patient began Round 1 of HCG protocol on April 14, 2008 weighing 244 lbs. with 44% body fat. She completed the Round losing 35 lbs. (209 lbs.). On June 4, 2009, she began Round 2 of HCG. Two weeks into this Round, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a lumpectomy followed by radiation treatments. Remarkably, she was able to continue and maintain her weight loss on Phase 2 of the program, then began Phase 3 on schedule. As of July 30, 2009, patient lost an additional 19.2 lbs. (189.8 lbs.) with 42% body fat. During her period of radiation treatment, she visited our centre weekly for B-12 injections for added energy and received lots of TLC and encouragement from our staff. This patient's story not only warmed our hearts, but proved that one can succeed through all odds and still come out on top! During a recent visit, she happily weighed in at 181.4 lbs. with a total weight loss of 62.4 lbs. and a staggering 37 1/4"!

Patient update

She no longer has difficulty sleeping through the night, and her joint pain due to significant weight loss, has diminished as much as possible. Due to a healthier lifestyle, she has little recurrence of acid reflux, and cholesterol and hypertension levels have improved. Her self esteem is elevated and her overall health prognoses is very good.
