Omaha's First and Best HCG Weight-loss Program

by Stacy Urbanski DTR, Nutritionist

2015 is almost here, it’s time for envisioning goals and setting a plan of action to achieve what the heart desires.  If your desire is to look and feel healthy by losing weight- Alternatives has a plan for you. 

The HCG weight loss program is a 12 week medically supervised program for women and men divided into 4 phases. By focusing on one phase at a time, the program is simplified and easy to follow.  We will meet with you throughout each phase in order to assess your weight loss, overall health and where adjustments can be made in order to ensure your success.

Along with a detailed food plan and HCG cookbook, daily HCG shots are prescribed. The shots last for 6 weeks and will help suppress the appetite and assist the body in burning stored fat.  Stored fat accumulates in hard to lose areas such as the abdomen, hips, upper arms, buttocks and breasts.  Without the HCG, other fats are burned first such as structural fats needed to protect organs.  When given the HCG shot, 2,000 – 4,000 calories of stored fat are released and burned for energy.  This is why our patients don’t feel hungry, and lose an average of 1 pound per day!

Dr. Simeons, a British physician and renowned expert on weight loss theory, discovered HCG’s unique ability to promote the body to use fat as fuel.  This was discovered when he used the HCG hormone on boys diagnosed with Froehlich’s disease.   Froehlich’s disease is derived from damage of the pituitary gland resulting in endocrine abnormalities.  When Dr. Simeons treated the boys with HCG it helped them come to sexual maturity and changed their shape by decreasing fat and increasing muscle.

In the late 1950’s Dr. Simeons opened an obesity treatment clinic in Rome.  The HCG diet plan has been successfully used all around the world ever since.

What exactly is HCG?  HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone) is a hormone extracted from pregnant women which assists in the release of stored fat to nourish the fetus.  A pregnant women produces several thousand units of HCG a day while only 125 units are given to our HCG patients daily.  This is why there are no sexual side effects and HCG can be used by both men and women.

Why choose Alternatives for HCG support?  We have experience supporting patients on the HCG diet and Michelle McCaslin, our Nurse Practitioner, has had success following the HCG diet herself.  We also require the HCG diet process is closely monitored and completed in a healthy way. 

At Alternatives, we carry the best quality lines of supplements available on the market. We also have the knowledge it takes to combine those supplements with the HCG diet in order to keep you feeling energized and balanced during all phases of the plan. In fact, we were the first in Omaha to offer the HCG diet and have more experience than anyone in the area.

The HCG plan is designed for individuals who are ready for a long-term lifestyle change.  The plan gives overweight patients an opportunity to jumpstart this process by losing weight fast and learning to be more aware of food choices and portions.

I will be available for nutritional support during this entire process.  This is especially important in the last phase of the diet as certain foods are reintroduced into the body.  Once you have lost the weight and feel energized, you will be inspired to continue with a new approach to food.  Together, we will devise an individual plan for you and remove any obstacles that might stand in the way of your everlasting healthy weight.
