HCG Diet
CAUTION: Do not attempt the HCG Diet without HCG drops. Eating 500 calories a day without HCG is unhealthy and could cause your metabolism to shut down. This very low calorie diet is only effective because your body uses additional calories from stored fat.
PHASE 1 (2 days)
Takes 10 drops of HCG three times a day as needed for hunger or energy. Place drops under tongue and hold for 60 seconds before swallowing the remaining liquid. For best results, do not drink or eat anything 10 minutes before or after taking the drops.
During the first phase of the diet, eat as many calories as you can in order to allow your body to properly absorb the HCG as well as to ensure that your body has easily accessible fat during the low-calorie phase of the diet. Recommended foods include pork, bread, peanut butter, butter, cream, cake, and fudge.
PHASE 2 (21 days or 40 days)
This the low-calorie phase of the diet and lasts 21 or 40 days depending on how much weight you have to lose. During this phase you should lose ½-3 pounds a day (1-2 pounds on average).
- • If you have 15-20 pounds to lose, follow the diet for 21 days.
- • If you have 20 or more pounds to lose, follow the diet for 40 days BUT only take the HCG drops 6 of the days each week; on the 7th day, follow the diet but do not use the drops. This prevents the body from become immune to the HCG.
- • If you do not reach your desired weight after 40 days, take a 3 week break before resuming the diet.
Takes 10 drops of HCG three times a day as needed for hunger or energy. Place drops under tongue and hold for 60 seconds before swallowing the remaining liquid. For best results, do not drink or eat anything 10 minutes before or after taking the drops.
During this phase of the diet, eat 2 servings of Protein each day, 2 servings of Bread each day, 2 servings of Vegetable each day, and 2 servings of Fruit each day plus drink at least 2 liters of fluid each day. The best way method is to just drink a beverage item for breakfast, eat one of each of the food items for lunch, and eat one of each of the food items for dinner. The permitted beverage and food items are listed below. Eating the carefully selected foods from Dr. Simeons’ Original 500 Calorie HCG Diet – combined with HCG drops – will ensure that your body gets the necessary nutrients. Eating foods not on this list or eating more than allotted per day will reduce your weight loss or even cause you to gain weight.

PHASE 3 (21 days)
Stop taking the HCG drops now that you have reached your desired weight. During this phase avoid all sugar and starch but slowly increase your calorie intake and add foods back into your diet one at a time.
PHASE 4
After you have completed the HCG diet, weigh yourself each morning and, if you ever gain 2 pounds or more, perform a “steak day”.
Steak Day:
Do not eat or drink anything throughout the day except for water. Eat a large steak for dinner. Later that night, you may have either an apple or a tomato. By the next morning, you should be back down to your lowest achieved weight.
