Have you struggled with weight loss systems and diets that just don’t work? Do you want to get bikini ready in record time? The hCG Diet Program may be right for you. The hCG Diet helps you tap in to your body’s own latent potential by using Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) injections to jump-start the fat-burning process. hCG occurs naturally in the body and is extremely effective at burning stored fat.
How The hCG Diet Works
Under the supervision of Dr. Lombardo, you’ll receive injections of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. Each round of treatment lasts 23 days. During this time, the hCG causes your body to release stored fat, which provides you with the calories you need to function every day. You’ll be restricted to a 500-calorie a day diet during this time. The calorie restrictions will remain in place until you achieve your weight loss goal or until your 23-day cycle ends, whichever comes first.
Benefits Of The hCG Diet

The combination of the hormone injections and reduced calorie consumption leads to rapid weight loss – as much as one pound per day!
Tap Into Fat Stores.
You will be able to rid your body of excess fat stores and use them as fuel throughout the treatment cycle.
A 23-Day Program.
You have a specific start and end point on the hCG Diet. No more endless days of dieting!
Astonishing Results.

Is The hCG Diet Right For You?
If you are tired of dieting plans that just don’t work and are ready to work with your body’s own natural functions, the hCG Diet Program may be right for you.
The diet program requires commitment and the ability to handle daily hormone injections. If you’re needle-shy, Dr. Lombardo will teach you a very easy way to do the daily treatments. But if you are a healthy individual who is committed to losing weight and can stick to a high-protein, low carb diet for 23 days, it may be the answer to your dieting dilemma.
FAQs
What Foods Can I Eat on the hCG Diet?
During the diet, your daily intake is limited to 500 calories. The majority of your calories should come from lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and a small amount of carbohydrates.
Approved protein sources include:
- Chicken breast
- White fish (cod, halibut, tilapia)
- Lean cuts of beef
- Tofu
- Legumes
The diet also emphasizes non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cucumbers, lettuce, and asparagus. Typical fruits allowed include apples, strawberries, and oranges.
Can I Exercise on the hCG Diet?
Exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle. However, due to its low-calorie intake, the hCG diet requires careful consideration of your activity levels.
Generally, we recommend light exercises such as walking, yoga, or gentle stretching. Intense workouts should be avoided as they may lead to fatigue, dizziness, or muscle loss due to your limited calorie consumption.
Always consult with Dr. Lombardo before starting any exercise routine while on the hCG diet. She will ensure it aligns with your weight loss goals and health status.
Can Men Follow the hCG Diet?
Absolutely! The hCG diet is not gender-specific, and men can easily follow it. In fact, many men have reported successful weight loss results with the hCG diet.
The process for men is the same as for women. It involves hCG weight loss injections coupled with a very low-calorie diet.
At Lombardo Cosmetic Surgery in Rancho Mirage, CA, we provide comprehensive guidance and support for men considering the hCG diet. Our tailored approach ensures that men receive the same benefits, including reduced hunger and preserved muscle mass.
What Should I Do if I Plateau?
If you plateau on the hCG diet, stay patient and consult with Dr. Lombardo. Plateaus are common and can often be addressed by making minor adjustments, such as:
- Increasing your water intake (research shows proper hydration can support weight loss)
- Evaluating your food portions to ensure you're not inadvertently consuming extra calories
- Engaging in light exercise, such as walking, to boost your metabolism
Most importantly, adhere to the prescribed hCG protocol and seek expert guidance to navigate the plateau safely.
How Do I Maintain My Weight After Completing the hCG Diet?
After the intensive phase, you’ll gradually increase your caloric intake. You’ll also continue focusing on balanced nutrition. Essential weight maintenance strategies include:
- Getting regular physical activity
- Staying hydrated
- Continuing to make healthy food choices
We also recommend regular follow-up consultations. This gives us a chance to monitor your progress and provide ongoing support.
