Questions about the action and effectiveness of Bio-HCG
Will someone who follows the same diet but without the Bio-HCG liquid achieve the same results?
In general, when you strictly follow a diet, you will of course lose weight. However, there will be no structural loss of fat in the problem areas and your figure will not change shape. What you lose are muscular tissue and necessary fats. You will be very hungry and you will feel faint. When you stop the diet, you will quickly regain your previous weight or gain even more! If you follow the diet in combination with the Bio-HCG liquid, you lose more weight, you will not feel faint, you will not be hungry and you will lose fat in the problem areas. Your figure will have a completely new shape. You will not lose muscular tissue or necessary fats, and you will no longer gain weight after the dieting and stabilisation phases.
How come you lose weight especially in the areas where it is needed?
If you do not store sugars in the active fat cells because you no longer eat fat and sugars, your body dips into the inactive fat cells to get the fuel it needs. These inactive fat cells can mainly be found in areas where you would like to lose weight most: your hips, thighs, buttocks and stomach.
Am I only losing weight because I lose liquids?
Generally speaking, you will lose a lot of liquids in the beginning. After that, your body starts dipping into the inactive fat.
I'm in the menopause, does that effect the result of the treatment?
Women who start their treatment shortly after the menopause respond equally well as other women. It is true however, that surplus weight may return quicker after the treatment, especially when the menopause has not completely finished yet. For that reason, you have to be extra careful with the diet and closely follow the instructions after the therapy has ended.
Men tend to lose weight much quicker than women. Why?
On average, men lose more kilos than women. This depends on a lot of factors, and one of the reasons is that men burn about 25% more kilocalories per day than women do.
Please help me, I have started to gain weight again after finishing the Bio-HCG treatment!
As long as the weight as it stands on the final diet day increases by no more than 1 kilo after the treatment, you don't have to worry. However, if the scales point to a higher weight gain, you must introduce a diet day without starch that same day: this could be an apple day, a fruit day or a steak day. It is also important to keep your liquid intake high.
Why can't I use normal day cream during the Bio-HCG treatment?
Normal day cream often contains fat, and if you absorb fat via your skin, it will slow down the breakdown process of the fats your body has stored.
Why do I have to eat fat during the first few days of the diet phase?
This serves to boost your metabolism.
Which shampoo can I use during the Bio-HCG treatment?
Preferably Ecover shampoo and conditioner, available from health food shops.
When I massage customers, I use oil. What do I do during the Bio-HCG treatment?
You will have to massage your customers using a fat-free gel. You can also use your usual oil, provided you first spray your hands with Skinplus, which will stop the fat from being absorbed.
Why do I have to wash my hands immediately after having touched the fat of, for instance, chicken?
Your body may absorb fats through the skin, delaying the burning process of your own body fats during the treatment.
Can I use a sunbed during the Bio-HCG treatment?
We advise against it, because the use of sun cream may disrupt the treatment.
