Losing the weight with ThinNow was AWESOME! Finding myself in the process was a true blessing!
I never saw myself as obese even though the scale said I was. The truth was I was hiding under that extra 70lbs I gained with my two kids. I had failed at so many diets, wasted so much money trying to lose it. I even tried sweating it away with a personal trainer three times a week.
Nothing worked until I stumbled across ThinNow. Doing the HCG protocol was the best decision I’ve ever made! I lost 40 pounds, 22 inches, and 4 ½ dress sizes during my first round!
Since I have won this seemingly impossible battle, I’ve gained the confidence to start my own photography business, a dream that seemed stuck on the horizon but never quite in my reach. Now knowing I can do anything once I set my heart on it has made my business take off in ways I never thought possible.
This isn’t just about losing a few pounds; this changes lives! Don’t delay – once you start you’ll kick yourself for putting it off even one more day!

I started HCG on May 15th at 165 lbs. The "before" picture was taken on April 27th in my office. The dress was an xl, and you can see how I'm straining it in the middle area. And, I was sucking it in!!
My first round of the HCG protocol ended on August 7th. I stabilized quickly after VLCD, at 140.2, down 24.8 lbs overall. The bigger difference was in inches, a total of 21.25 inches lost! I reduced 5.25" each from my waist and abdomen alone!
After my second round of the HCG diet, I lost my "muffin top" and another 16.2 lbs. And I have shrunk another 12.5 inches!
Totals to date: 35.75" inches lost; 43.0 lbs lost; body fat reduced by -7.4%; and BMI down 7.7. My dress & pants size went from a 14/XL to 6 (yes 6!) and I can wear heels again!
The Big Bonus? My weight-related aches, joint pains, and scoliosis muscle spasms are gone and I'm off my pain meds altogether. The support and encouragement ThinNow provides is a big part of my success story. You are always there. You guys rock!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HCG diet protocol?
The HCG diet protocol was developed by British Endocrinologist, Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, in the 1950s. It's based on his many years of research and case studies on obese patients. The HCG protocol has helped hundreds of thousands of people overcome resistance to stubborn fat loss. The protocol combines a naturally produced hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) with a restricted diet. When HCG is administered in very small doses and coupled with a very low calorie diet, people routinely lose 0.5 to 2 pounds per day.
In addition to weight loss, many patients who have completed the HCG protocol have also experienced many other health benefits, including a drop in cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar.
The unique aspect of the HCG protocol is that, when followed according to Dr. Simeons' instructions, the weight loss is permanent. The HCG works with the hypothalamus to increase metabolism to a rate that burns excess incoming fuel rather than store it as fat. During the maintenance part of the plan, this new metabolism establishes a new setpoint body weight, which is easy to maintain long term.
How does the HCG Protocol work?
You begin with 2 load days (48 hours). It will take up to 72 hours for the HCG to be in full force in your system. This is why you can load for 48 hours. By the time the HCG is at full force you must be eating 500 calories from the list of approved foods. Dr. Simeons gives a two meal eating schedule that may be used as a guide. He clearly states in the manuscript that the user may eat smaller, more frequent meals if desired as long as all of the food is eaten and no food group is intentionally missed. HCG has helped thousands of people lose those stubborn pounds. In addition to weight loss, many patients who have completed the HCG program also experienced many other health benefits, including a drop in cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. Dr. Simeons spent a number of years researching many different food combinations and the foods listed are the ones that gave the best and most consistent results for weight loss and body reshaping. Some exceptions or adjustments may be allowed but these are to be made only by someone with complete understanding of the Protocol. Exceptions or adjustments made without this understanding may result in slowed weight loss or complete stall. If you are vegetarian or vegan, please ask for the appropriate food list for your needs.
While taking the HCG, it is not necessary to weigh daily although many people do for their own peace of mind. Weighing every other day, twice weekly, or even once each week is preferred. This is because typical weight loss when using HCG is ½ to 1½ pounds daily, on average. This means that we want to take a look at the bigger picture to see what the results really are. Given the average weight loss parameters, one can expect to lose 15 to 40 pounds in 26 days. Although we most commonly see 23-28 pound losses, it is different for each individual, and men are almost always at the high end. If choosing to weigh daily, please take into account the fact that you may lose only ounces one day but pounds the next, and you could have a slight gain every once in awhile as your body reacts to things like salt and other variables. Measuring your weight loss at the end of each week will give you the full picture of your weight loss on the HCG Protocol.
Once you have finished taking the HCG for the desired length of time (no less than 23 days but not to exceed 60 days), it is time for the maintenance portion of the HCG Protocol to begin. It is important to stay in close contact with ThinNow support team so we can help you through this vital part of the Protocol. This is where the hypothalamus is reset to the new body weight set point. You will be allowed to add foods back into your routine but continue to refrain from sugar and starch(no grains, no legumes, etc). You will have to weigh daily at the same time every morning, after emptying the bladder and while naked; if the weight is more than 2 pounds above the weight of the last HCG day then a Steak day must be completed that very day. Contact ThinNow.com for complete instructions.
What ingredients are in the HCG drops?
Our HCG drops contain HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in strengths of 6X, 12X, 30X, and 60X. This combination of strengths is the most effective formula in homeopathic medicine. Our HCG is bottled in a solution of purified water and 16% U.S.P. alcohol for preservation without refrigeration.
We tested HCG from several manufacturers so we could find and offer you the best available. You won't find a stronger or more effective HCG drops formula anywhere else.
How does HCG work?
The HCG hormone causes your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of deep fat storage so that it's available for use. You are still burning the 3000 calories that most people use during the course of a day BUT only 500 calories are coming from their food. That means 2500 calories are coming from that previously stored fat which is how you are losing about a pound a day and doing it in a healthy way!
HCG has helped thousands of people lose those stubborn pounds. In addition to weight loss, many patients who have completed the HCG program also experienced many other health benefits, including a drop in cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar.
What is the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that controls all of the autonomic functions of the body, including breathing, heart beat, digestion, sleep and the complex functions of the endocrine system. One of the many functions of the endocrine system is regulation and control of metabolism and weight.
Does HCG work for everyone, will it work for me?
Although HCG is naturally produced only in pregnancy, as a weight loss method it works exactly the same for men and women. When the protocol is followed to a "T", you will lose between 0.5 to 2 pounds per day, even up to 3-4 lbs per day during the first week. Those who successfully complete the plan also find that it is the only program where they have been able to keep the weight off afterward.
Although individual results will vary, this is an obesity treatment, not just a diet, and it works for everyone who follows the plan precisely. Always consult your doctor before starting any weight loss program. |
