What is HCG?
HCG is a hormone naturally produced by the body during pregnancy. This hormone allows the body to mobilize fat and use it for energy. For weight loss, we use only a small amount of pure U.S. pharmaceutical grade HCG to capitalize on this same mechanism. Using HCG in this way does nor mimic pregnancy; in fact it can be safely used by both men and women.
HCG is extremely safe.
How does HCG work?
HCG works to mobilize stored fat for utilization by the body when there is a significant decrease in caloric intake. For weight loss, we use a very low calorie diet to trigger the HCG to help rid the body of fat. As the body uses fats as its prime energy supply, the circulating fat (called ketones) actually spill into the urine and get flushed down the toilet. This means that unlike other diets, you don’t have to burn every fat calorie that is in your body. This makes weight loss much faster! It is common for a patient to lose 15-30 lbs a month!
Will I be hungry?
Because HCG mobilizes fat and makes it available to the body as an energy source, it naturally reduces your appetite. So even though you are taking in fewer calories, your body can access the energy you have stored in fat cells. After about 2-3 days, most patients notice a significant decrease in their appetite. Overall, most people have plenty of energy and feel good while on the program.
Won’t a low calorie diet ruin my metabolism?
A very low calorie diet alone (without HCG) will decrease your metabolism greatly (“starvation mode”) and cause you to regain weight rapidly when returning to a normal diet. Many people who have been yo-yo dieters have already ruined their metabolism, with their bodies in chronic “starvation mode”. Using true U.S. pharmaceutical grade HCG will protect your body’s metabolism and keep you from going into a “starvation mode”. In fact a month on true HCG will actually restore normal metabolism in patients! This helps the body not to regain weight when transitioning into a normal diet.
Why shouldn’t I buy HCG over the internet?
It is illegal to buy or sell pharmaceutical grade HCG in the US without a doctor’s prescription. Counterfeit products, such as “homeopathic HCG” and foreign made HCG, usually made in India and sold to internet dealers can be dangerous to your health. Many contain no HCG at all. If they do contain HCG, it is low dose and completely variable without and standards for purity and contaminants. While anyone will lose some weight on a very low calorie diet with or without HCG, if you do not use real HCG in a normal dosage, your metabolism will be ruined and you will have a great tendency to regain any weight lost when you resume normal eating. Avé uses only medical grade HCG purchased at a licensed pharmacy in the US with a standardized dosage.
Secondly there is a reason this diet should be medically managed – as you lose weight, care must be taken to watch your body’s reaction such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and potassium level and thyroid level to name a few. Medications may need to be adjusted. This is why this diet is not available over the counter!
What is the cost?
The initial cycle: $500 — plus $4 generic potassium prescription. The initial price includes your individualized medical consultation, a 35 day supply of HCG Drops (we also have handy sublingual tablets available), a B12 shot, and HCG cookbook, weekly weigh-ins, unlimited questions and individualized assistance. Our goal is to personally look after you and help you be successful!
Additional 35 day supply of HCG Drops $225 ($235 for tablets)

In medical school I learned that to lose 1 lb of fat I would need to burn 3500 calories—so imagine my distress at finding myself 40 lbs overweight after having 3 children. I tried every diet available over the past 18 years with only limited success.
Twelve months ago I discovered that what I learned in medical school was not really true - THERE IS A WAY TO GET AROUND THE 1 LB = 3500 CALORIE RULE!
The secret to losing weight is to induce a fat burning mode in which a good portion of the fat actually is excreted in the urine- yes that’s right- it actualy goes down the toilet without having to burn it! I know it sounds too good to be true, and I personally was very skeptical at first, but I lost 40 lbs in less than 3 months and went from a size 14 to a size 6! I have been able to maintain this weight loss relatively easily!
The HCG diet is a medically supervised diet. My staff and I have helped hundreds of clients lose weight and keep it off. HCG is a hormone naturally produced in the body. It is a pregnancy hormone, but during pregnancy, the levels double every two days to mobilize fat and use it as energy for both the mother and the fetus. Durning the HCG diet, a very small amount of the hormone is used, and HCG works to moblize fat for the utilization by the body only when there is a significant decrease in calories and fat.
For weight loss, a very low carlorie diet is put into place to trigger HCG and help rid the body of fat. Eating low calorie healthy foods in general is a good practice, but only doing that to lose weight will likely mean you lose muscle and bone before fat; by using HCG with a low carlorie diet, extra fat is mobilized for energy and therefore, you benefit by getting rid of excess fat without affecting your bone and muscle. The HCG keeps your metabolism normal so once you resume a normal amount of calories the body won’t tend to store them as extra fat—this is an extremely important aspect of the diet!
Most people will lose from 15 to 25 pounds a month with some losing over 40 pounds in a month! The science behind the HCG Diet is sound and we have had many clients who have been able to reduce or eliminate blood pressure medications and diabetic medications. Many flex plans will cover this diet for health reasons.
The HCG Diet will not leave you feeling starved and really works…fast! Best of all the diet is safe for both women and men, effective, and the weight stays off! What are you “weighting” for?

Dr. Hicks,
I’m just wrapping up my HCG course and wanted to thank you and the Avé team for bringing it to me. I’ve lost 70+ lbs and feel great. I just completed my annual physical with my family doctor and after struggling with high triglycerides for years, my level has dropped from 270 (High Risk) to 58 (well within ideal) during the course of my treatment. All my other numbers are great as well with marked improvement. Numbers aside, I feel better, sleep better and think better. As an executive, this makes a huge difference for me at work, and with the time I have at home with my family. Thanks Again…for helping me change my life.

I recently completed the HCG diet and was delighted (an understatement) at the 22 lb weight loss I experienced! The diet was not as difficult as I imagined given the limited calorie intake and food choices. More importantly it redefined for me what a portion size must consist of in order to maintain the weight loss. My plan was simple: I found a date 5 to 6 weeks in the future for which I wanted to look and feel great – in my case a friend’s wedding – and focused on that date as my goal. I went to that wedding last weekend and was thrilled at how I looked and all the compliments I received about my appearance!
I have been on the maintenance plan for two weeks and have not struggled to maintain my weight loss. On the contrary, I am empowered to manage and control my weight by eating healthy, normal-sized portions of fruits, vegetables, and healthy protein choices. I don’t miss sugar or starchy foods in the least after cleansing my body and eliminating my daily cravings for these weight loss saboteurs. I have expanded my list of food choices by trying new things (mostly vegetables) and new recipes that I would never have given a look at when I had crackers, chips, cookies, and other high sugar and starch options available to me.
I feel energetic, attractive, and powerful as a consequence of the weight loss experience—not to mention I have to buy a whole new wardrobe after losing two clothing sizes. I would recommend anyone struggling with his or her weight and who has tried and failed multiple diets to give the staff at Avé a call and discuss the program. I was skeptical about my ability to commit and about promised results. I am skeptical no more. I will do another round on the plan this summer to lose the last twelve pounds I have carried around with me since the mid 1980’s (my old college days). Good luck with your weight loss!
