Your Skin and HCG

We are particularly averse to those modern cosmetics which contain hormones, as any interference with endocrine regulations during treatment must be absolutely avoided. Many women whose skin has in the course of years become adjusted to the use of fat containing cosmetics find that their skin gets dry as soon as they stop using them. In such cases we permit the use of plain mineral oil, which has no nutritional value. On the other hand, mineral oil should not be used in preparing the food, first because of its undesirable laxative quality, and second because it absorbs some fat-soluble vitamins, which are then lost in the stool. We do permit the use of lipstick, powder and such lotions as are entirely free of fatty substances. We also allow brilliantine to be used on the hair but it must not be rubbed into the scalp. Obviously sun-tan oil is prohibited.

Pounds & InchesA NEW APPROACH TO OBESITYBY: A.T.W. SIMEONS, M.D.

Personally, I have experienced the benefits of using a transdermal patch on  my skin to deliver into my body. With the HCG patch and the Super Patch, I’m confident that I’m getting several good ingredients. My intention is weight loss. I know that I am getting HCG because the results show loss of weight when I use the patch! When I haven’t put any hcg into my system but STILL tried to maintain the Very Low Calorie Diet (HCG diet) I did not lose ANY weight.
I know the HCG was getting into my system – even though I couldn’t not physically see it. I do not have to fill a dropper and count the drops as I look into the mirror, straining to see and count each droplet.  I do not have to mix a solution to put it in a syringe and shove it into the fatty part of my hip or thigh.  It stands to reason that many other things that I put on my skin could also be absorbed. 

 An advantage of a transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as oral, topical, intravenous, intramuscular, etc. is that the patch provides a controlled release of the medication into the patient, usually through either a porous membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin layers of medication embedded in the adhesive. 

wikipedia.org/wiki/Transdermal_patch

In light of this information, I choose to avoid putting oily substances on my body during the weight loss. 

There are other benefits of using an HCG patch instead drops or injections. My personal experience is that HCG in my body promotes MORE HCG in my body. The more HCG in my body, the more I can lose weight without feeling hungry!

We must remember that HCG is being absorbed into our skin and that is effectively causing our bodies to release stored fat. The way HCG works in our bodies is that it gives our body the opportunity to RELEASE fat, instead of storing fat. 


I would not want to negate the effects of the HCG being absorved into my body by slathering on oils and lotions laden with fatty substances.

I keep in mind that what fats or oils went it to my body most recently is what will be moved off or burned off, first. I want STORED FAT to be burned off. On the other hand, I don’t want to use skin drying products such as alcohol, either. Why? Because the skin may get dry if I don’t have enough water. I want to keep my eye on my water intake. 2 liters to 1 gallon per day. 

There will be plenty of time for sun lotion on this hot body LATER!

CROCKPOT GRANOLA – Basic Breakfast mix.

A Basic Mix, ready for your add-ins! 

4 cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats Bob’s Red Mill 72 Calories per serving

1/2 cup Nuts, Almonds Raw 14 Calories per serving

4 Egg, White Raw, Fresh 3 Calories per serving

1/2 tsp Salt, Table 0 Calories per serving

1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice 0 Calories per serving

1/2 cup Truvia Baking Blend Truvia 12 Calories per serving

Place all dry ingredients in the crock pot. Stir with a wooden spoon. Add Egg white and stir again. If you like your granola clumpy, you can ball up some, but if you like it finer, break up the clumps. 

Put cover on crock and set for 4 hours on high. 

Check at three hours later to stir. You will have accumulated moisture on your lid. Keep it from falling back into the granola. Leave the lid off for the remaining hour.  Test for crunchiness! 

Separate  into 1/4 cup  individual bags or store in an air-tight container. 

I add 1/4 cup or less to a little yogurt or I might put a couple of teaspoons over my spiced apples.

I have used 85 % dark chocolate, dried cranberries, fresh apple and pecans as add-ins or substitutions at various times. I prefer the dried fruit to be added in the last hour, as I find it becomes too dry. Fresh fruit is moist and requires a much longer cooking time. The dark chocolate was best added in late, in my opinion; however, my daughter preferred the chocolate-coated oats.

What is the HCG Patch?

HCG – Triggers the body to provide a constant flow of food received from the abnormal fat that your body is breaking down and using when on the HCG eating plan.

Vitamin B12 – benefits your mood, energy level, memory, heart, skin, hair, digestion. An essential vitamin for adrenal fatigue and multiple metabolic functions.

Vitamin C – an essential vitamin, fat metabolism, balances blood sugar, makes collagen and heals all parts of body/organs/blood.

Folic Acid – increases the metabolic rate and is used for energy, burns more fat and increases weight loss.

L-arginine – aids in weight loss by burning excess fat and improving muscle mass.

L-Camitine – reduces fatigue, burns fat and is an appetite suppressant.

Calcarea Carbonica – targets flabby fat as on thighs and buttock areas.

Focus ves Amino Acid complex – a fat burner.

Spongia tosta – for underactive thyroid.

Homeopathic hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid – balance for metabolism, fatigue and muscle weakness.

L-omithine – releases fatigue in the cells and cell memory.

Colloidal minerals from humic shale – 72 organic minerals and plant nutrients – balances blood sugar, boosts metabolism, breaks down body fat, builds muscle and helps with vitality.

Acetyl L-Carnitine – fat burner, stimulates energy, motivation and alertness.

Ginger & Turmeric – Balances high cholesterol, releases toxins, purifies the blood of toxic build up.

L-theanine – reduces stress, curbs emotional over eating, breaks down fat.

WHAT IS HCG?

hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a natural hormone produced in large quantities during pregnancy to ensure proper nutrients to a developing baby. hCG is what triggers the hypothalamus (a control centre in the brain) to mobilize stored fat into the bloodstream to be used as food or fuel. It is believed to reset your metabolism and to protect your body’s good fat and keep muscle tissue from breaking down (which occurs in other low calorie diets without the use of hCG).

Long Term Diet and Super Patch Use

With the Super Patch, I do not have to pause between cycles of dieting and loading. I can wear the patch long term without harm or fear of overdose. I do not become less responsive to the ingredients in the Super Patch. They continue to work, averaging a half pound of loss every day. I do not have to reload with high fat foods. I can continue to eat the lower fat foods that I have always preferred.

With homeopathic transdermal hcg, there is no worry that I will lose too much. My skin is an organ and it will reject anything there is too much of, or that isn’t recognized as beneficial. Besides that, as Dr. Simeons explains in his HCG diet book, Pounds and Inches, HCG re-positions fat or it expels it. Some users have not lost ANY weight using HCG and the HCG diet, but their bodies HAVE transformed into lean but healthy forms. I saw Dr. Simeon’s book and read about the emaciated lady. I could relate!

The HCG patch from Nova can be worn for many months, even indefinitely. The ingredients of the HCG patch are included in the SUPER PATCH. Below is an outline of what can be found on the Nova Clinic website regarding long term use of the HCG Patch:

Long Term Nova Diet: 4th week and ongoing for as long as you like, while you use the Nova HCG Patches

Note this diet has been put together by the Nova Clinic, trialled over 8 months and it will give you ALL of the nutrients you need to be healthy, active, lose weight ongoing and not be hungry.

You will get enough protein, iron, fats, calcium, vitamins and minerals. All vegetables, legumes and fruit give you all of the nutrients you need. And no starches are NOT fattening, are full of vitamins and minerals, are a vegetable and they fill you up.

The only thing you may want to do is have use our 12 Vitamins B’s patch as well [wear one a week, or for 3 days only, ok to miss a week] as Vit.B12 is the only thing this diet does not give you.

NO – Avocados, sugar, junk food, fats, all oils, nuts and seeds, butter, protein powder, coconut, olives.

Cut out completely for now, you can pick up later if you really want  to – dairy products which include all cows milk and products, cream, cheese, cow-milk yogurt, butter, ice cream.

Cut out or make very minimum – all meat, all poultry, all fish.

DO eat –Tons of all vegetables including potatoes, sweet potatoes, all colour vegetables [especially green leafy vegetables and green beans] in large quantities. Greens the biggest share. Garlic, spices, salt & pepper. Rice, brown is best.Fruit, any fruit 2-3 pieces a day. Non-dairy yogurt if desired. Rice cakes and/or real wholemeal bread. Rolled oats. Cans ready cooked, or home made beans and legumes. Mashed potatoes – use some of the water they are cooked in to mash [as that is full of vitamins] use a little rice milk and salt & pepper. Rice milk is the closest to cows milk in creamy texture and taste – and its a real food that you can use and it won’t make you fat. Butter replacement – to use a little butter on your bread use nutalex (by butter in supermarket fridge). Be sensible only use a little. Baked potatoes, sweet potatoes and vegetables Rice and stir fried vegetables Home made hummus – no tahini added.

Note: Beans, legumes and lentils, no more than 1/2 cup per day total.

Have three meals a day, with eating starches you will not be hungry between meals and you will look forward to all meals.

SCOUR the internet and utube for diet recipes with starches, beans and lentils, and vegetables – tons of variety – you will find your favourites.

There are even great desserts using beans that taste like chocolate cake. Read all labels if you buy canned make sure there is no oil.

An example of what I eat in a day (Jen Nova)

  • Breakfast: Bowl of fruit salad
  • Snack : Brownie made of black beans – yum.
  • Lunch: Large bowl of home made Vegetable soup and 2 pieces of wholesale toast or stir fry vegetables and rice.
  • Dinner: Very large plate mashed potato and four types of vegetables – steamed.

It takes a little time to get this all together so be patient with yourself. There were 18 of us on the long term trial and we all lost fat and inches from all of the body – every one was different so there are no set time frames so no stress.

The HCG Diet Protocol

Below is a copy of what I read in Dr. Simeon’s

Below is a copy of what I read in Pounds and Inches regarding what to eat while using HCG:

THE DIET

Breakfast:Tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar. Only one tablespoonful of milk allowed in 24 hours. Saccharin or Stevia may be used.
Lunch:1. 100 grams of veal, beef, chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp. All visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking, and the meat must be weighed raw. It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat. Salmon, eel, tuna, herring, dried or pickled fish are not allowed. The chicken breast must be removed from the bird.2. One type of vegetable only to be chosen from the following: spinach, chard, chicory, beet-greens, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage.3. One breadstick (grissino) or one Melba toast.4. An apple or a handful of strawberries or one-half grapefruit.
Dinner :The same four choices as lunch.

Dr. Simeons adds: 

The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes. Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, marjoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but no oil, butter or dressing. Tea, coffee, plain water, or mineral water are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times. In fact, the patient should drink about 2 liters of these fluids per day. Many patients are afraid to drink so much because they fear that this may make them retain more water. This is a wrong notion as the body is more inclined to store water when the intake falls below its normal requirements.

The above is all taken into account after a fat loading phase (phase 1 or p1) of two days. Dr. Simeons suggests eating as much fat-laden food as possible in order to prime the release of fat. It stands to reason, in my opinion, that the fat you place in your body from day-to-day is the fat that will be burned, first. With a low-fat diet, the body obviously start to release old and un-needed fat.  On the Super Patch, I lost fat where I had last gained it. On the other hand, fasting without HCG or the Super Patch caused me to lose mostly collagen, water, and fat around my bones (knuckles, ankles and wrists) and from my chest. My conclusion based on my own experience was that it is NOT that low calorie diet that caused the proper fat loss. Only with the Super Patch and HCG protocol did I lose fat from truly fatty places of my body. Starving caused me to appear gaunt, frail and sickly. With the Super Patch, I personally look quite healthy!

How I feel: the HCG diet & Super Patch

My Daughter and I started the Super Patch together: 

How I felt on the HCG diet & Super Patch

I never got a headache as some report. My daughter didn’t get a headache until it was the 4th day of her first patch. She replaced the patch, drank water and rested. The headache subsided.

I noticed she also stopped making trips to the refrigerator to look inside. Obviously, she had become hungry as the patch was wearing off. Because the patch isn’t cumbersome like drops, it is easy to stick it and forget it. 

A month’s supply is 12 patches. Technically, that covers 36 days. But, I wore two patches to jump-start into phase 2 – without the loading phase (phase 1). Reloading or double patching was not necessary afterward. Though if I were to begin feeling hungry or getting a hunger-headache that won’t subside, I would choose to put on a second patch. Usually, this only happens at the beginning of the protocol. It hasn’t happened to me!

The Nova Patch ingredients stay in my system for 12 hours after I remove the patch. For the first two weeks, I itched in areas near my glands. The Super Patch and the water seemed to be flushing out toxins!

“Hot Sauna Showers” helped me. I felt a little sick a couple of times. I added some sugar free electrolyte powder (generic brand)  to my water and felt much better. I lost almost 3 lbs per day during the first 3 days of this toxin-flush! It was worth it!

Each day, seeing the scale read a lower number is encouraging and THAT makes me feel great! Even if it is only half a pound, I am excited!

My daughter prefers to weigh weekly as she likes seeing big losses. She got to say, “I lost 13 pounds this week!” as she emerged from the room.

I know. Wow! That’s how she felt, too.

Both of us are still going. Now, I have other family members using the patch, but I’m most impressed with my “foodie” daughter who claimed not to have any will power whatsoever.
