The HCG Diet Expert

Professionals and HCG Dieters ask me repeatedly why massages are forbidden on the HCG Diet.  This is a terrific question since massages are generally a key therapy offered in Chiropractic Clinics!

Information about massages on the HCG Diet originated from ATW Simeons, MD, the creator of the HCG Diet.  In his 1964 manuscript called POUNDS and INCHES, he was adamant about people not having massages while on the HCG Diet but it has been taken out of context.

Dr Simeons was referring to the insanity of people trying to eliminate fat through violent manipulation and kneading of body tissue!  I am confident that he knew the therapeutic value of increased circulation and lymphatic drainage and would NEVER be opposed to ‘healthy’ massages for this reason.  When you read the entire passage of his reference to massages, it is apparent he was not against therapeutic massages, only the kind that can cause bruising and tissue harm!

Knowing the value of  therapeutic massages and increased circulation and lymphatic drain, I  RECOMMEND massages while on the HCG Diet to assist in better removal of toxic waste.  The only problem is that massage oil contains absorbable oils and CANNOT BE USED BY THE MASSAGE THERAPIST while on the HCG Diet NOR BY THE HCG DIETER.  External absorbable oil reacts just like consuming oil while on the diet and will stop weight loss.

In my quest over the years for HCG Dieters to have the best of everything at their finger tips (no pun intended)  before, during and after the HCG Diet . . . . I discovered there were no quality, oil free skincare products on the market.

In 2008, I began formulating the only oil-free HCG Diet approved skincare body product line for the Dieter.  I also wanted these products to be good for the skin and free of toxic paraben preservatives and synthetic fragrances. During this process, I also decided to  include in the line an oil-free massage oil for several VERY specific reasons:

(1)   it allows  HCG Dieters to continue  massages or BEGIN having massages while on the  Diet without compromising weight loss;

(2)   it eliminates Massage therapists from losing clients because of the  oil restriction who become HCG Dieters;

(3)   it allows Massage therapists to do the HCG Diet and continue to give massages without having to wear gloves;

(4)  it offers the savvy, business-minded Chiropractor the ability to advertise  “Oil-Free HCG Diet Approved Massages” and

(a)    bring in new clients

(b)   create an additional revenue source from sales on the Diet skincare products

(c)   earn extra income from on-line product sales through the skincare’s website affiliate program, and

(d) .  . . if  marketed correctly,  these new clients will become patients for the Professional’s other services too!

(5)  IT’S A WIN – WIN situation for EVERYONE!
