Frequently asked questions and answers: |
| Q: What are Sublingual Drops and how does it result in losing weight quickly? |
| |
A: The diet was put together in the 1950-60s with 20 years of research by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, MD. While fat is converted into blood sugar and used as energy, Dr. Simeons' research showed that the body needed additional proteins. He found that a 500 calorie high protein diet would help in the process of losing weight. Our product effective helps to convert fat for fuel by triggering the hypothalamus. In most cases items such as: certain cosmetics, lotions, and other personal care products are prohibited during the duration of using the drops. This is because while taking the oral drops the fat cells are open and certain products containing fats and oils can be absorbed into the body compromising the weight loss. |
|
| Q: Is this product safe in both men and women? |
| |
A: Sublingual drops are safe and effective for both men and women. |
|
| Q: What are the side effects of oral drops? |
| |
A: In most cases there are little to no side effects while taking this product orally. We have never come across a case where side effects are severe. The most common side effects reported are: headaches, irritability, light headedness, feelings of weakness, and constipation. Again, these side effects are rarely reported. All side effects are usually due to the lack of gorging before the Very Low Calorie Diet and symptoms only last for a short period of time. |
|
| Q: Why do you consume only 500 calories a day? Is that healthy? |
| |
A: Some people are in disbelief when they are told they must only consume 500 calories per day. It is impossible to consume only 500 calories per day without the drops because you would experience the following symptoms: hunger, cravings, feelings of misery, loss of structural fat, loss of muscle mass, and loss of abnormal fat deposits. Once taking the sublingual drops people start to lose up to 1-2 pounds of abnormal fat per day. The drops do not affect your structural fat, muscle mass, or organs. Each pound of fat contains 3500 calories which are being used to fuel the body before they are dispelled. So even though you are only taking in 500 calories your body has access to approximately 4000 calories per day. This is how you receive adequate amounts of energy. Your body is generating the rest of the calories needed internally through the breakdown of your fat deposits (lipolysis). For the few people that experience hunger while taking the drops and consuming 500 calories notice their hunger goes away within the second week. Smaller portions become more satisfying and for some even very filling. |
|
| Q: Is it safe to take sublingual drops while pregnant or breast feeding? |
| |
A: It is not recommended by doctors or researchers that women take any diet product while pregnant or breast feeding. We ask that women finish breast feeding before doing the protocol. |
|
| Q: Can I continue taking my medication while doing the Dr. Simeons protocol? |
| |
A: Sublingual drops are not known to interfere with birth control, antibiotics, and other types of medication. Certain vitamins could compromise weight loss so consult a coach before taking them. Before stopping any medication you should always consult your prescribing doctor. |
|
Q: Is it ok to exercise while doing the Dr. Simeons Protocol Diet? |
| |
A: We recommend that you do little to no exercise while on the diet. If you are a person who must exercise every day we recommend that the individual stays keeps their routine minimal. Exercising burns calories, and burning calories increases hunger. Excessive exercise could easily put your body into a starvation-mode and compromise the nutrition plan. |
|
| Q: Can you drink alcohol while on the diet? |
| |
A: We highly recommend that you do not consume alcohol while taking the oral drops this could completely compromise the nutrition plan. During the maintenance phase of the diet Dr. Simeons does allow individuals to have an occasional 8 oz. glass of wine with dinner. The important thing to remember is that alcohol could cause you to gain weight during the maintenance phase. If you don’t have the urge for the alcohol we encourage you to go without it. Some individuals find that their desire/urge to consume the same amount of alcohol they did before doing the diet becomes much less. |
|
| Q: Do the oral drops need to be refrigerated? |
| |
A: No. Our oral drops do not need to be refrigerated, and they can be conveniently carried in your purse or pocket throughout the day. This makes it really easy to take the drops throughout the day. If the drops are stopped for a long duration it is a good idea to refrigerate them to keep their potency |
|
| Q: What if I have more than 40 pounds to lose? Can I stay on the drops longer than 40 days? |
| |
A: This diet was specifically designed to cure obesity. Whether a person has ten pounds or two hundred pounds to lose, and can be done in rounds of forty days. There are three phases of the diet each is as important as the other. After the forty day round we must reset the hypothalamus to the new weight consisting of a three week stabilization period. Then, to ensure there is no immunity being built in the body to the diet we again require three weeks of maintenance. This allows the individual to eat normally and often still lose weight during these weeks. Following the maintenance a person can begin another round. We have been thrilled in seeing that individuals doing another round have reported even a greater weight loss then in the first round. This shows that the metabolism is already increased when starting the second round, and seems to be more efficient at burning the excess fat. Also, the individual is familiar with the plan, and can easily do the second round. People that have done the program can do their second round with fewer variations to the plan allowing again maximum weight loss. |
|

|
| Q: How many drops do I take per day? |
| |
A: 10 drops 3 times per day or 5 drops 6 times per day (the dosing used for our program). |
