A Revolution in Weight Loss

The AIM HCG Program

The world is full of diets. Some of them are crazy and some of them are simple. Some work better than others but the plain fact is that many of us have a few extra pounds that we have struggled against fruitlessly for years. In many cases the challenge to our weight loss goals might lay deeper with our metabolism and its gradual slowing, or with an unresponsive thyroid. No matter what issue may exist at the center of your weight loss conundrum AIM has a program geared to help you.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, more commonly known as HCG is a hormone normally released by the body during pregnancy. One of the functions of this hormone is to shift how the body metabolizes fats in order to sustain the increased caloric needs during fetal gestation. What does this have to do with you? The challenge to most dieters is getting the body to burn fat rather than loose muscle mass or to just go into a storage mode when we supply fewer calories. The introduction of HCG in an appropriately controlled environment can put your body back into a fat burning mode leading to profound weight loss that is significant, healthy, and sustainable. Some patients have lost up to a pound a day over the course of the program!

There are many groups offering HCG diet plans, but as is always the case AIM is doing it a little bit differently. We recognize that any diet can be difficult and requires good support. In order to help you along your way our program includes not only a thorough intake with one of our Western Medical team in which you will make a clear plan for your success, but also two meetings with our acupuncturist to help manage any cravings or other issues that may arise during the diet, and a meeting with our nutritionist at the end of the diet to help you make a plan to eat right and sustain the benefits you’ve gained.

Also, ask your provider about our HCG support group where patients on our HCG diet can opt in to a group email list where you can discuss your experiences, share recipes, and get support as you go through the program!
