MEDI-LEAN WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMME\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

The Medi-Lean Weight Loss Programme is based on the HCG diet developed by Dr. A.T.W Simeon. He found that HCG helps the body to release excess fat, hence releasing the calories for your body to use as energy.\u00a0 HCG not only assists you to lose fat fast, but also resets your metabolism for you to maintain your weight loss.\u00a0 The Medi-Lean Medical Weight\u00a0Loss Programme has modified the original HCG Protocol to achieve maximum results, but also to incorporate the diet into your daily schedule as easily as possible.\u00a0 The HCG Protocol or any modified versions should only be attempted under the supervision of a medical practitioner trained in weight loss to prevent health risks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The Medi-lean protocol consists of HCG injections\/ nasal spray, a specific very low calorie diet and certain supplements.\u00a0 Dr Chantelle will provide you with a detailed regime based on your medical history, chronic medication as well as your specific circumstances to assist you not only with maximum weight loss, but also improved health.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

If you struggle to stick to the programme due to hunger or cravings, or you lose less than 6 – 8kg\u00a0of fat per cycle, it may be an indication that further investigations need to be done, please discuss this with dr. Chantelle during your monthly consultations.\u00a0 Dr. Chantelle will adjust your regime according to your results and investigations, so your treatment plan will ultimately be personalised to address your specific needs.\u00a0<\/p>

By making lifestyle changes, following a healthy diet and supporting your body with the correct supplements, you will be able to maintain your healthy weight forever.\u00a0 When you\u2019ve lost your excess fat, it is of utmost importance to teach your body how to cope with larger portions as well as a bigger variety of food. If you don\u2019t, you will most probably regain the fat you lost.\u00a0 Dr Chantelle will assist you through this transition period as well as your maintenance period.<\/p>

MIC INJECTIONS FOR WEIGHT LOSS<\/strong><\/p>

Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) Injections, also referred to as Lipotropic Injections, are used to help release fat throughout the body by specifically targeting its primary fatty deposits.\u00a0<\/p>

Lipotropic, or fat burning substances include:\u00a0<\/p>

Methionine \u2013 The \u201cM\u201d in MIC Injection, is an essential amino acid, which means that it is not synthesized in humans. This amino acid acts as a lipotropic agent which: assists in the breakdown of fats within the liver; helps to lower cholesterol thereby preventing excess fat buildup in the liver and throughout your body\u2019s circulatory system; is helpful in preventing and relieving fatigue; and is useful in some cases of allergies by virtue of its ability to reduce histamine release. It is similar to inositol, but also amplifies the combination.<\/p>

Inositol \u2013 The \u201cI\u201d in MIC Injection, promotes the health of cell structures and nerve synapses; aids in the metabolism of fats; helps the liver remove fat; helps reduce blood cholesterol; and participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and appetite.<\/p>

Choline \u2013 The \u201cC\u201d in MIC Injection, is an essential nutrient that helps to support the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products and distributes cholesterol and prevents it from getting deposited in one part of the body. Moreover, it is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol, which is important for the healthy support of the endocrine, cardiovascular, and hepatic systems.<\/p>

Dr. Chantelle combines a low-GI, low-fat, calorie controlled diet in combination with MIC for patients where HCG is contra-indicated.\u00a0\u00a0The amino acids that are injected into the body stimulate the liver into optimizing the process of metabolism. These injections boost the body\u2019s metabolic power by providing a highly effective temporary increase of normal metabolic functions.\u00a0 \u00a0These injections accelerate the metabolism of fat in the body. This means that they help the liver to process the fat that has already been broken down. They also mobilise fat throughout the body to the sites where they are required for use.<\/p>

In the long term, a healthy balanced diet is of utmost importance to maintain your weight loss.\u00a0\u00a0Dr. Chantelle will assist you during the maintenance period\u00a0by addressing your diet and advise you on the correct supplements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
