The controversy is bigger than ever in the HCG industry. Dr. Oz thinks we need more research, but still believes that HCG is showing great results and offering benefits for weight loss, including helping maintain muscle mass. He and many others are concerned about the homeopathic drops not containing enough, or even any actual HCG at all. When I look at the industry as a whole, I worry about the same thing.

I was just on Twitter and did a search for HCG to see what the buzz is in Twitterville; to no surprise, it’s the same as it has been for the past year. Spammers are blasting everyone trying to sell HCG drops from random websites all over the place. What I did notice however, is there is a few conversations going around about the worry that HCG drops are not containing any of the actual ingredient in them. New companies are beginning to get actual prescription HCG from Mexico and India and having it sent here to sell online. This is so dangerous and could really end being a huge issue for the overall health of customers and the industry also.

I made a commitment when I started Vibrant Life HCG that I would offer the highest grade product available on the market. I promised to use only natural and authentic ingredients to ensure the effectiveness and the safety of my customers and clients. As promised, Vibrant Life HCG is here to stay with the most advanced formulation of REAL HCG drops ever created. That sounds like a huge statement, nonetheless, it is a fact. No other company in the HCG industry has the laboratory capabilities that we have. No other company has the experience in manufacturing that my lab has.

A commitment is a commitment and we are still continuing to innovate and create advancements to the diet program to fit the needs of every customer we encounter. Already we have made the most advances in the caloric intake and food allowance of any company out there. See our HCG Diet page for full details on the options available, the unlimited vegetable option to help with the munchies we all get from time to time and the amazing recipes to make this an exciting diet program to follow. Enjoy the benefits of all of the hard work and research and testing we have done over the past year to create this new formulation, offering even better results and more successes.

As always, I am here to help you reach your goals. You can contact me directly at joe@vibrantlifehcg.com or you can use any of the Ask Joe links to ask your questions.

I, and my company Vibrant Life HCG, has been dedicated to putting you, the customer and client, first, above all. My mission as I state constantly, is to create optimal health in anyone and everyone that I come into contact with. I have personally taken on the enormous responsibility to ensure that I know the latest and greatest of production options, lab technologies and new formulation ingredients. Being an avid student and naturally curious definitely helps in this endeavor and now has led me and my lab to an opportunity that no other competing company has.

My reformulated HCG Diet Drops is changing the game, one pound at a time and actually very often two and three pounds at a time. The formula has changed from an alcohol-based homeopathic product to a technology that is so exact that it turns the entire science of homeopathy on its head. Now with a glycerin medium to bind the human-grade HCG using a vibrational layering technology that only Vibrant Life HCG has access to, the results of our clients are increasing consistently. Remember the good ol’ days when you had to eat 500 calories a day with the old HCG? How about not counting the calories of the day, only the portions and losing more weight than back then? It sure sounds better doesn’t it? And most likely doesn’t confuse a lot people like it used to.

There were so many unanswerable questions with the original HCG protocol because let’s face it, Dr. A.T.W. Simeons (the creator of the diet program) has been dead for quite a while. These questions forced me to do a ton, I mean a ton of testing on my own. I took hundreds of people and tried different foods, increased calories, decreased the drops dosage, increased it, changed the frequency, wrote a recipe eBook (yes I really wrote it and then I give it away for FREE, something the competitors hate) and then finally found the threshold that creates the most amazing results; and then I reformulated the product and made it even BETTER.

Using this vibrational layering technology to bind the HCG to the glycerin, it absorbs into the body much more effectively without losing any of the necessary HCG through processing in the liver. Think about it, the liver processes and filters toxins like alcohol, wish I had this option 4 years ago. So, you get more of the HCG that you paid for and therefore even better results. Oh, I’m not done yet, I have sweetened the deal even further because like I said, I want to make sure that you get the latest and greatest opportunity for results with my formulation. Instead of the HCG being a lone ranger in the mission to mobilize stored fat, I used some of the most profound ancient wisdom and added an herbal blend to the drops to speed up fat loss, balance your biochemistry, aid in digestion, offer natural energy to the body, help increase your oxygenation and also alkalize your system. Yes, I’m making this program beneficial to every single cell in your body, not just helping you lose weight.

Why are the herbs a great addition to the Vibrant Life HCG program? How often do you hear me or read of my rants regarding alkalinity? This is a huge factor in overall health and especially weight loss, now I have made it even easier to accomplish. The more oxygen in your body, the more efficiently all of your bodily functions will be and the more powerful your immune system will become. How about the old HCG concerns of lethargy and hunger or cravings? No longer a worry with natural energy boost you will receive and NO, it will not be a jittery increase of energy, instead it will leave you with a refreshed feeling.

How about digestive balance? Is that important? All health begins with the ease of your digestive system, it plays a major role in your energy levels, the mood you are in during the day, believe it or not, in your productivity and definitely in your immune function. Let’s get your digestion balanced and allow the rest of the body to function at peak levels. The game is changing, come be a part of it.

If you have any questions about the reformulation, please feel free to ask via the chat on the homepage or via any of the Ask Joe links. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Okay now that I got that rant out of the way, let’s see what the fate looks like at this point and what the damage has been. The FDA doesn’t make money on homeopathic supplements, most of the labs are privately owned. The FDA issued warning letters to 7 companies who marketing practices were not in alignment with what the FDA allowed and so they are begin reprimanded. They had a set number of days to change their marketing, remove certain claims and “clean up their act” in order to keep selling. So, if you look at any of their sites, they all still sell the HCG, but it no longer states that HCG itself is the cause for weight loss. These big companies have money behind them and don’t really care about the consumer, only about their bottom line. What has happened to the smaller companies that actually care about the customer and their results and overall health. Here is what I know for a fact to be accurate after speaking with several companies directly, watching their actions online and a lot of it happened to my company Vibrant Life HCG.

With public statement that the FDA was deeming the homeopathic HCG diet drops to be illegal, yet they did not ask us to stop selling them. This created an interesting whirlwind of events. First, one of my labs that made my HCG drops voluntarily decided not to manufacture it any longer; a decision that I respect and later found out that the FDA contacted them behind closed doors and asked them to stop. Next, I had inventory left and my merchant account closed my account because my business name had HCG in it. No warning, no “hey, we need you to change this or that,” just closed it without notice and leaving me literally without a business overnight. This is a common occurrence all over the place with other companies. I am seeing more and more having the same issue. I was lucky enough to find a new merchant company who disagreed with the practices of my last, but nonetheless it has been an uphill battle.

I have been told that an estimated 2,200 people lost their jobs within the HCG industry just adding to the national unemployment number. Wait, so you’re telling me that because the FDA doesn’t agree with a safe supplement to be sold over the counter and online that thousands of people are without jobs? And this all happened a few weeks before the biggest holiday of the year? Yes, that is what I’m telling you. And here is the kicker…the woman working for the FDA that decided to cause this problem, she is obese. I would bet 10 to 1 that if she used the HCG Diet Drops, lost some weight found the success that the millions of other users have, she would promote it rather than hate it. That’s just my observation and that of the 400+ emails I received from people who noticed the same thing.

So, what does the future of Vibrant Life HCG look like? I will tell you this, it is extremely bright. While other companies were probably caught off-guard as I was, I did know this would most likely happen sooner rather than later. I have been developing a product to replace HCG drops and my criteria was that they had to be better and offer more profound results. Well ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned for the launch of Vibrant Life 360; a company dedicated to turning around the health of people world-wide. The new VLife360 line of products will be the more comprehensive health products and programs available. Everything from weight loss to muscular development to reversing chronic disease to yoga and natural medicine. This will be the one source that you need for anything health related. VLife360 will be the only company with the products that I have created because they are all my own development.

Keep your eyes and ears open as I unleash more information, discount offers to kick off the launch and we create a community around natural health options. No more pharmaceuticals, just nature allowing the body to heal itself with proper balance. Stay tuned and contact me directly if you want more information.

Why is it that most diets don’t work? Take this into consideration, the average diet lasts 5.5 days, not even one week! Seems like that when the weekend hits, all bets are off. Lack of commitment is the first thing that causes failure. Next, most people don’t have a clue that what they are doing at the gym is actually counterproductive. How many of you, like me had been going to the gym religiously, working your ass off and not seeing the results that you hoped for? I know, it sucks doesn’t it?

The fact is that you could have much better results with much less effort if you actually knew what your body wanted and needed. We go throughout most of our lives watching Dr. Oz, Oprah, the News or read magazines that promise us the next shortcut to getting the body of our dreams; but you know none of it works. How about taking a few minutes and understanding yourself first, then taking the action that is needed to get the results you’re after.

Here is my first example; do you have a stressful life? Are you busy with work, kids, errands, keeping the house up? Maybe you’re overcommitted in too many areas? If you find yourself on the go all the time as most of us do, then consider finding balance. If you run 100 mph all day, your body will be screaming for the exact opposite of that to create harmony. Take the next 30 days and do more calming exercise such as yoga, pilates or Tai Chi. Now, if you’re the opposite and you have a job that keeps you sitting or sedentary and you happen to come home and sit around more, then you need something more intense and fast-paced to compliment your body.

How about food? What do you eat? This is directly going to be related to your body and what you need, AND also what your body responds well and not well to. Knowing about yourself is so vitally important, it is shocking that people will spend hours at the gym, spend money on supplements, but are not willing to learn about how their particular body-type characteristics respond to their actions. For example, while one person may love spicy foods, as I clearly do, those particular foods actually throw my body out of balance and therefore should not be eaten very often.

Another interesting example is that a lot of people repeat this common occurrence, “I’m eating healthy, I had a salad for lunch.” Have you heard that nice one before? Chances are that while the salad is a decent idea, salad dressings are usually packed with sugar and oils and large amount of calories. There goes your light healthy meal, PLUS who says that your particular body-type should eat a salad? How are you for certain that the nutrients your body needs is in the salad? Usually we don’t have a clue and so we fall into the trap of just eating what society and mass media has programmed us to.

Get the right information for your body, for your life and therefore create ultimate health. I am offering consultations for the first time to the open public. We can do phone or in-person, depending on location and my travel schedule. If you would be interested in a consultation and understanding why and what your body responds to naturally, this is a great opportunity. Contact me directly for more information and to set up a consult. Either via email: joe@vibrantlifehcg.com or by Facebook: Facebook.com/joerare or by Twitter: twitter.com/joerare.

Creating your reason “Why” is a very important part of reaching your goals and this is a topic that is very near and dear to me personally. Everything we do in life and everything we want is focused upon with either vague attention or laser focus and our “why” is what creates the difference.

If the doctor told you that you needed to lose 30 lbs or you were going to die, I imagine that your focus would laser pointed at losing the weight. If you were told that you would receive a free box of Cheerios for doing the same, losing 30 lbs, you will probably have less attention pointed at that goal as your reason for achieving is not great enough to inspire you. Does that make sense?

This is so important that sleep alone could make or break your weight loss goals. I myself often take this one tip for granted and find myself sleeping only 4 hours per night. Now, though I do meditate, I still should be sleeping regular hours for the amazing health benefits it offers. Don’t get me wrong, I am not referring to sleeping for 10 or 12 hours a night and wasting your entire next day feeling groggy. What I have found and thanks to studies done all over the world, the most effective amount of sleep for health, fitness results, weight loss and disease prevention and reversal is 7-7.5 hours per night.

For the HCG Diet I wanted to figure out what the effect of getting adequate sleep would be, so I did what I always do; I tested it. I asked 40 clients to allow me to manipulate their sleep patterns and monitor the results they were receiving. I had 20 HCG dieters sleep for no more than 6 hours per night for 21 consecutive days while using the Vibrant Life HCG Diet program and the other 20 dieters slept for 7-8 hours per night for each of the 21 consecutive days.

The results were just what I imagined and more. The group that I had sleep for 7-8 hours per night lost an average of 21.4% more weight than those who only slept for no more than 6 hours. On top of those amazing results, 14 of the 20, 7-8 hours of sleep HCG dieters reported having more energy and 16 of them reported having little to no cravings. In my eyes, those are enormous results that should be shared with the world.

Moral of the story, get 7-7.5 hours of sleep each night while using the Vibrant Life HCG drops and you will lose even more weight, feel better and get healthier faster. Then continue to use these practices in your everyday life even after you’re done with the diet.

On the HCG Diet program you are only allowed to eat a piece of fruit and drink your coffee or tea for breakfast and that definitely isn’t enough to get your day started…or is it? If breakfast is so important and this diet is producing results like Debra Roberson’s, who lost over 89lbs and completely changed her life, then why isn’t there a sufficient breakfast? The answer to these questions is not only simple, but it’s brilliant.

The facts are that most people do not know the answer to one or both of those questions. Here is what the American Dietetic Association says that we need for fiber intake per day: 20-35 grams. No offense to anyone in that association, but a 15 gram swing is a lot. What constitutes at which end a person is? Next, why isn’t that information being explained to each and every person? The HCG Diet program consists of two servings of fruit per day and two servings of vegetables per day. The average serving of each of those foods contains 4.4 – 5.2 grams of fiber each, so multiply that times four and you are right within range of the 20 grams per day. And in addition, the fiber is coming from plant sources which is the absolute best for the body.

I realize that is on the low end of the scale for what the A.D.A. recommends (though they do not have a governing authority to decide if they are accurate or not) and that may concern you; and to ease that concern, I introduce you to Miracle Noodles.

Time to debunk another one of the HCG Diet Haters favorite complaint about the HCG Diet Drops program. This is a fun one because as usual, those that are the naysayers rarely know what they are talking about (this goes for doctors as well which is slightly depressing, but becoming more and more understood by the general public; hence, why alternative medicine is being sought after more than ever before). Let’s dive into it…

For those who don’t study nutrition and the human body regularly, which would include most all of the people on earth minus me, the crazy one; you most likely do not understand the amount of protein the human body really needs. In fact, most people do not even know why protein is important, but as a society we are mass marketed protein products and supplements.
