If you cannot visit the clinic on a daily or weekly basis,you can take the HCG home and self-administer it.



At the time of your first visit to any of our locations in Southern California (Costa Mesa, Laguna Hills, and San Diego), we will instruct you on how to self-administer the HCG.

Once you have been seen by the physician and the HCG has been prescribed, we can mail subsequent monthly supplies of HCG and the syringes directly to you.

BMI - Body Mass Index: BMI Calculator

What is BMI?

The healthy weight range is based on a measurement known as the Body Mass Index (BMI). This can be determined if you know your weight and your height.

A healthy BMI for adults is between 18.5 and 22.9.

You measure your BMI as shown:


BMI = [ Your Weight (kg)/Height (meters) x Height (meters) ]

BMI values DO NOT APPLY TO children, pregnant women, people with muscular build (little body fat) eg athletes, elderly and those who have lost a lot of muscle mass.

How do I achieve a healthy BMI of 18.5 to 22.9?

BMI below 18.5kg/m²

Eat a well balanced diet, including high-energy and nutrient-rich food, and exercise regularly

BMI above 23kg/m²

Eat a well balanced diet, low in fat, and engage in regular physical activity to lose weight gradually.

Reduce your risk – Healthy Eating

You gain weight and increase your BMI if you consistently consume more calories than you use up through physical activity.

• Avoid high-calorie foods like cakes, pastries and soft drinks.
• Avoid snacking.
• Eat in moderation.
• Use healthier cooking methods ( eg. steam, grill, bake, stir-fry with minimum oil) to prepare your meals.
• Eat a healthy balanced diet with at least 2 servings of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables everyday.

Reduce your risk: Get Moving!



Regular physical activity helps you

• use up excess calories which would otherwise be stored as fat
• build healthy bones, muscles and joints
• manage stress and anxiety
• feel good about yourself

Start with moderate-intensity physical activity (eg.brisk walking, leisurely cycling, taking stairs rather than elevator) for 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week or more.

The 30 minutes of physical activity can be broken up into 10 minutes cycles through out the day.

As your fitness level improves, do vigorous physical activity (eg. jogging, soccer, basketball, scrubbing floors at home) for 20 minutes a day at least 3 times a week.

To lose weight sensibly

• Check your BMI
• Set a realistic target. Lose no more than 1 to 2 lb a week
• Eat a balanced diet, low in fat
• Exercise regularly
• Avoid slimming teas, drugs and pills unless prescribed by a doctor
• Aim for long-term sustained weight control, rather than short-term rapid weight loss
