Medi-Lean Weight Loss Program

Medi-Lean is a medical weight loss programme, offered by Medical doctors. This programme consists of HCG injections, meal replacement shakes and supplements used in conjunction with a healthy balanced diet.

Obesity is multi-factorial and needs to be addressed in a holistic way. Genetics, hormones, deficiencies, malabsorption, stress and many other factors influence the way that our bodies store and break down fat.

Dr Inge will not only guide you to lose fat, but also address the initial reason for the weight gain. 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.

EVERY PERSON IS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A UNIQUE COMPOSITION

Not only will your genetic make-up determine what you look like, but also how your body produces hormones, absorbs nutrients and eliminate toxins.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS WILL ALSO PLAY A ROLE

Problems like insomnia, pain and stress can have a detrimental effect on your health, hormone secretion as well as your ability to absorb nutrients.

YOU NEED TO FOLLOW A HEALTHY BALANCED DIET

Dr Inge will assist you in not only losing unwanted fat, but also to maintain the weight loss by supporting your overall health.

Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions: Medi-Lean

What is HCG?

HCG helps the body to release excess fat, hence releasing the calories for your body to use as energy. Some of the benefits of HCG include not only fat loss but also a positive effect on mood, increased energy levels, relief of body pains, decreased migraines and resetting the metabolism.

What if I don't lose weight on the programme?

With the modified Protocol, you should be able to lose between 6-10kg of fat per cycle.

If it is difficult to stick to the protocol due to hunger or cravings or you tend to lose less than this whilst sticking to the protocol 100%, it may be an indication that further investigations need to be done to eliminate other metabolic imbalances or vitamin, nutritional or mineral deficiencies.

Please discuss this with Dr Inge.

Where and how do I inject myself?
Your injections come in convenient, pre-filled syringes and they need to be stored in the fridge. You must inject yourself no later than 12pm, as we work with your normal circadian rhythm. Your Medi-Lean practitioner will show you how to inject and there is also a guideline in your Medi-Lean booklet. If you are hesitant to inject yourself, there is also a nasal spray available, but it is not as effective as your injection, as absorption can be influenced by e.g. hay fever, sinusitis etc.
What will happen if I cheat on the program?
It depends on which cycle you’re doing at that moment. If you are on the injections/ nasal spray, it will render your injections less effective. If you are on maintenance, you are allowed to cheat once in a while.
I have tried every other diet, how will I know that Medi-Lean will work for me?

You need to follow up with Dr Inge regularly. According to your results, she will adjust your program and/ or send you for further investigations if your progress is slower than expected. You should not experience extreme hunger or cravings during the weight loss phase, this could be an indication of hormonal imbalances that need to be corrected. The average fat loss per cycle should be between 6-12kg per cycle with no muscle mass loss. If you don’t get these results, Dr Inge will have to do some investigations.

Do I need to buy all the Medi-Lean products?
No, only the supplements that Dr Inge deems necessary.
I can't inject myself - what now?
If you are reluctant to inject yourself there are alternative options.
Is there evidence that HCG will help with weight loss?

There are no evidence that HCG helps with weightloss but also no evidence against it, Dr Inge’s patients lose fat which provse that it must have an influence.

What makes Medi-Lean different to all other programmes?
The Medi-Lean weight loss programme is based on Dr Simeon’s diet. The combination of HCG, a very low-calorie diet and supplements, will target unwanted, unhealthy fat vs other diets that can easily affect healthy fat or muscle mass. It also assists to improve your metabolism. The Medi-Lean maintenance programme is based on a healthy, balanced diet and will be used after you’ve lost the fat, or for people that don’t need to lose, but need a guideline to maintain a healthy weight.
Do I need to use all the recommended supplements?

Dr Inge will advise you on your supplements. The Medi-Lean programme is totally integrative with other supplements, depending on your needs.

What if I'm diabetic? Will I still be able to do the program?
Yes, but if you have to use insulin, you’ll have to monitor it very closely as your insulin needs will decrease as you lose the fat. You might need to do longer washout periods from time to time to stabilize your glucose levels.
Each person is different - Is the diet unique to my body type?

The weight loss program is based on dr. Simeon’s diet and can’t be changed much. However your supplements will be prescribed according to your unique needs. The maintenance program is a guideline for a healthy lifestyle, but that needs to be adjusted according to eg. your activity level, medical conditions and genetic profile.
