Company creates moisturizer now approved for use on HCG Diet.

The newly approved Tiffalina's HCG Diet Safe Lotion is the first of its kind to meet the strict guidelines of the HCG Diet. According to Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, the creator of the HCG Diet Protocol, products that contain fats or oils such as lotion, liquid foundation, lip balm, etc., will hinder the rapid weight loss that is typically achieved on the HCG Diet.

In Dr. Simeons' manuscript, Pounds and Inches Away: A New Approach to Obesity, he states that "...fats, oils, creams and ointments applied to the skin are absorbed and interfere with weight reduction by HCG just as if they had been eaten." In other words, since participants are only allotted a specific number of calories during the HCG Diet, they will most likely experience a stall or gain the next day at weighing if they use any products that contain fats or oils.

Tiffalina's HCG Diet Safe Lotion was created specifically to allow optimum weight loss on the HCG Diet. It was first released in January of 2011 by online homeopathic HCG Diet drops retailer Do-It-Yourself HCG (DIY HCG), www.DIYHCG.com.
Many participants experience discomfort because of dry skin when they discontinue their use of moisturizing products for the month of the HCG Diet. Some dieters have even reported having the skin on their hands and lips crack and bleed, especially in winter months, due to a lack of moisture.

Tiffany Prinster, HCG Diet author and CEO of DIY HCG, lead the way in developing this product. She says, "We saw a need and did everything we could to meet it. Our customers have been asking for something like this for a long time."
Until now, the only 100% approved items for moisturizing on the HCG diet have been pure baby oil and mineral oil because unlike other oils, they have no nutritional value and are will not be absorbed by the skin.

The controversial HCG Diet consists of participants taking HCG, a supplement, in combination with a specific very low calorie diet to supposedly lose upwards of 20 to 30 lbs in about a month.

The HCG Diet has made a recent resurgence into American culture with mentions on the Dr. Oz Show, the Today Show, and in the New York Times, where it has received mixed reviews from many healthcare professionals, but glowing recommendations from most HCG Diet participants.
