Dr. Simeons' hCG Diet Protocol
NOTE: Dr. Simeons wrote the hCG diet protocol back in the 1950's. We believe that the hCG diet protocol works and is a great diet program to follow. However, as modern science has advanced over the decades, many have stated that following a 500 calorie diet is not a healthy practice. Even though you will lose weight at a rapid pace following the 500 calorie diet, it would be healthier if you increase your calorie intake to somewhere between 800 and 1200 calories per day. You would still eat the same foods that are listed in the protocol, but eat more of them. For example, by doubling everything, your daily intake would be in the 1000 calorie range. We at myhcgsource.com would rather see you lose weight at a slightly slower pace and be healthy. Also, by increasing your calorie intake, you will be able to stay on the diet plan longer.
No one should follow the hCG diet for a period which exceeds 42 days. If you need to lose more weight, we recommend that you discontinue the hCG drops and follow the Phase 3 maintenance plan for six weeks and then start over with Phase 2.
Originally, hCG drops were formulated using only thehCG hormone. We recommend using our Super Trim Formula to insure better results. This new formulation contains the exact same potency of hCG as the original drops, along with the added support of other health promoting ingredients. There is no reason to buy plain hCG drops and miss out on all the extra benefits available in our Super Trim formula. It is mainly the result of following the hCG diet protocol that gives you the weight loss results. The Super Trim drops help take the "edge" off of dieting.
Another point to be aware of is that following the hCG diet protocol can have an effect of lowering blood sugar levels. Since the diet has you eating very low amounts of sugar (fruit being its main source), you will need to monitor your blood sugar levels If you have issues in this area. That is why we recommend that you always consult with your health care professional prior to starting any weight loss program.

There are 4 phases to the Hcg weight loss diet protocol. These phases were referenced in Kevin Trudeau's Book - "The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You to Know About" and Linda Prinster's book - "HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide"
-
Phase 1 - 2 Gorge Days
-
Phase 2 - 21 to 40 days of 500 calorie diet
-
Phase 3 - 21 days of maintenance to keep the weight off
-
Phase 4 - Lifestyle change
Some people have greater success if they do a colon cleanse before they start the hCG weight loss diet program.
Phase 1 (P1) of the Hcg diet protocol is a two day gorge period, you would start taking your hcg drops (10 drops 30 minutes before meals three times a day). Make sure to hold the drops under your tongue for 2- 5 minutes and don't drink anything for 15 minutes before or after taking the drops.
For the next two days of phase one, you may eat anything you like, focus on fats instead of sugars. The purpose of this is to build a healthy level of structural fat in your body and to keep you from getting hungry during phase two of the diet. Eating foods high in sugar during the gorge days may also increase cravings and make the hCG diet more difficult to stay on. Avoid those foods that are high in sugar.
People who skip this phase often will experience hunger pangs during phase two of the diet. This is important, don't skip this part of the protocol. Eat everything you would not normally eat. You will gain a few pounds for these two days, but it will come off fast in the next few days. Don't forget the cheesecake!
This part of the hCG diet is commonly referred to as Phase 2 (VLCD - Very Low Calorie Diet)
The goal of Phase 2 of the HCG diet is to lose weight. It is very important to follow the HCG protocol to the tee or you will experience lower weight loss results. HCG by itself does not produce any weight loss results, only by following the diet along with usage of the HCG weight loss drops, will you be able to obtain your goals.
Starting with Day 3, continue taking the HCG three times a day, 10 drops at a time for up to 40 days. Follow the diet protocol outlined below. If you lose more than 34 pounds, stop phase 2 and move on to phase 3.
Breakfast: |
Tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar. Only one tablespoonful of milk allowed in 24 hours. Saccharin or Stevia may be used. |
|
Lunch: |
1. 100 grams of veal, beef, chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp. All visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking, and the meat must be weighed raw. It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat. Salmon, eel, tuna, herring, dried or pickled fish are not allowed. The chicken breast must be removed from the bird. 2. One type of vegetable only to be chosen from the following: spinach, chard, chicory, beet-greens, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage. Greens are 2 cups except Fennel 1 1/2 cups and Chicory greens 1 cup. Tomatoes are 1 cup serving size. 3. One bread stick (grissino, 20 calories) or two Melba toast rounds. 4. A medium sized apple, medium sized orange, or a handful of strawberries or one-half grapefruit. |
|
Dinner : |
The same four choices as lunch (above). |
Drinks and Seasonings
The juice of one lemon is allowed daily for all purposes.
Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, marjoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but no oil, butter or dressing.
Tea, coffee, plain water, or mineral water (2 liters of water per day is recommended) are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times. We recommend a healthy brand of coffee that tastes good black and organic green tea available at Organo Gold Coffee.
The fruit or the bread stick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner, but not more than than four items listed for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal.
No medicines or cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and powder may he used without special permission according to Dr. Simeons' protocol, however because of changes over the last 50 years, we recommend that you do not change your medications without consulting your doctor first. Most people do just as good while taking medications for high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, thyroid and many others, however if you are taking diabetes or blood pressure medications, you should be monitored by your doctor, One of the positive side effects of the hCG diet is that blood pressure and sugar levels have a tendency to drop. Vitamins are permitted and it's recommended that you at least take Vitamin B-12 daily.
Portions and specially prepared unsweetened, low calorie foods
"In many countries specially prepared unsweetened and low Calorie foods are freely available, and some of these can be tentatively used. The total daily intake must not exceed 500 Calories if the best possible results are to be obtained, that the daily ration should contain 200 grams of fat-free protein and a very small amount of starch." From Dr. Simeons' "Pounds and Inches." The manuscript can be found here .
Important Highlights:
The 500 calorie limit must always be maintained.
-
2 small apples are not an acceptable exchange for "1 apple."
-
Very occasionally we allow egg - boiled, poached or raw - to patients who develop an aversion to meat, but in this case they must add the white of three eggs to the one they eat whole.
-
Cottage cheese made from skimmed milk is available, 100 grams may occasionally be used instead of the meat.
Personal Care and Beauty Products on the hCG Diet:
-
We do permit the use of lipstick, powder and such lotions that are entirely free of fatty substances. We also allow brilliantine to be used on the hair but it must not be rubbed into the scalp. Obviously, sun-tan oil is prohibited.
-
Aspirin and birth control are allowed on the Simeons hCG Diet.
-
No massage of any kind.
Phase 3 - P3 - The Maintenance Phase
The purpose of phase 3 of the HCG diet is to maintain the weight loss achieved by resetting a new weight set point in your body. Once you stop taking HCG drops, you will need to stay on the 500 calorie diet for three days, After the three days the HCG will have exited your body. For the following three week period, you are to avoid eating sugar or starches. You will eat around a 2000 calorie diet, more if you work out or play sports hard. The object is to stay within 2 pounds above or below the last weight you recorded while still taking HCG. If you exceed the two pound window, you should do a steak day* to take it back off. If you lose more than two pounds from your last HCG weight, then you need to eat more.
For people who gain all their weight back, they usually failed at this part of the diet. It is vital that you stay on this for three weeks or you will return to the prior weight you were before the diet. We have to retrain your body to accept and maintain this new weight by being constant for 3 weeks. Remember you can eat anything on this stage except sugar and starches. The Weight Loss Cure Guide has a big list of what foods contain sugar and starch and those that are safe to eat. I recommend that everyone obtain a copy of the book and read it first.
*Steak Day - Dr. Simeons says "Skip breakfast and lunch but take plenty to drink. In the evening, eat a huge steak with only an apple or a raw tomato."
Phase 4 is really what you will do for the rest of your life. You will slowly introduce sugar and starches back into your diet in small amount while keeping an eye on the scale. The bigger focus is on optimal health at this stage. Again, in the HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide Book, there is a list of things that you will want to do to remain healthy.
