Nu-Living-HCG is an innovative , medical weight-loss-specialist assisted, speedy weight and metabolism correction program. It combines a safe , modern , scientifically valid, "modified protein sparing" very low calorie "spectrum' of diets ( variable VLCD) with enhanced nutrient fortification and the safe use of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone (HCG ) to promote maintenance of lean muscle tissue and loss of dangerous, excess body fat while maintaining vitality and significantly curtailing hunger.

While individual weight loss results may vary depending on the calorie content of the specific VLCD prescribed and on patient adherence to the VLCD instructions, for many patients the average weight loss on is 1/2 pound or more per day during the HCG injection phase of the program using a 500-600 caloric diet . This vigorous weight loss can last from 3 to 6 weeks depending on a individual circumstances, health status and target body weight goals. Ultimately, weight loss achieved depends on a patient's starting point, calories consumed , exercise performed and degree of compliance with the diet protocols . Our patients commonly lose anywhere from 15-40 lbs. during the HCG injection phase over 6 weeks. It is not unusual for some people on 500-600 calories per day lose 10 to 12 lbs in the first week! This is accomplished under strict medical supervision by Dr.Terlinsky.

Great results, particularly long term , also are achieved with the NULIVING-HCG "modified " HCG diet consisting of a VLCD with high protein in the range of 800-1000 calories per day which can produce a robust 3-5 pounds or more of weight loss per week during the HCG injection phase of the program. This less arduous VLCD in the 800-1000 calorie daily range results in weekly weigh loss of 1-3 pounds and is the most popular choice of our HCG injection patients. Dr. Terlinsky will present a spectrum of VLCD diet choices for his patients to use with HCG injections during the first NULIVING-HCG intiation office visit.

The NULIVING-HCG also incorporates a metabolism boosting "'detoxification" component and an easy to follow choice of meals. Dr. Terlinsky believes "one size does not fit all" when it comes to the meals for NULIVING-HCG. Choices include meals from program provided, detailed recipes for "all food" plans of breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks , or "hybrid" program plans using a combination of some food meals with meal replacements in the form of shakes, bars and other medical foods. There is also an exchange list program for those people who want to take basic food components and make their own meals. For the person on the go, Dr. Terlinsky has also created a nutritious VLCD based around popular "TV dinner" type meals . NULIVING-HCG can provide meal protocols for patients using HCG injections combined with an all meal replacement liquid "modified protein sparing VLCD.".
