There is no substantial evidence that HCG increases weight loss beyond that resulting from calorie reduction that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie restricted diets.”??IMPORTANT NOTIFICATIONSGive yourself a HCG injection or take your sublingual drops first thing in the morning.??Be sure and drink at least 2 quarts of water, tea, or coffee daily.??Eat only those things listed on the diet list (protein, vegetables and fruit).?Do not exceed 500 calories of items listed on the diet list.HCG (injectable and sublingual) must be refrigerated and kept out of direct sunlight.??Do not shake the HCG.?Gently swirl the bottle before using each time.??Do not freeze the HCG.??We cannot replace your medication or refund your money if you ruin your medication by handling it improperly)There are only two forms for administering prescription HCG1.?Injectable HCG:?This form you inject once daily.??Refrigeration is required.??Once mixed the HCG should be used within 60 days and kept out of direct sunlight.??Do not agitate, shake or freeze.??2.?Sublingual HCG Drops:?Dosage: As directed on the label from the pharmacy???HCG Therapy Questions and AnswersWelcome to Genesis Weight and Age Management’s medical weight loss program.??The medical weight loss programs at Genesis Weight and Age Management are always doctor-guided, safe and effective. This program will help you achieve your weight loss goals quickly and naturally. HCG Hormone Therapy occurs without the use of stimulants of any type.??It's a safe and comfortable way to reach your weight loss goals and stay there permanently.??We are dedicated and committed to helping you through each phase of the program.Let’s answer a few brief questions and answers before we get started with the HCG Diet and Recipes.Who is the right candidate for the HCG Hormone Therapy diet?The majority of healthy persons are strong candidates.??A Genesis Weight & Age Management clinician will perform a medical history and examination to assess your bodies overall health and to determine if HCG Hormone Therapy is a suitable weight loss program for you. HCG Hormone Therapy is not available for women who are pregnant or nursing due to the potential risks to the baby.Is HCG Hormone Therapy safe for men?Although Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone produced by the female's placenta during pregnancy, it also is effective for men.??It is present in every human tissue, including males and non-pregnant women and is used for men for a variety of issues other than weight loss.??It is safe and effective for men to use as a weight loss therapy.What Does HCG Do??HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy.??During pregnancy, the HCG almost completely controls the woman's metabolic functions, using the woman’s own fat stores to feed the fetus in if she is unable to consume enough calories.??Although there are other providers of HCG, we have one of the longest HCG cycles available.How much weight will I lose with the HCG Hormone Therapy diet?Most HCG Hormone Therapy dieters report a loss of 1 to 2 pounds per day*.???At the very least, patients should expect to see a loss of .5 pounds per day, and at the most, 3+ pounds per day.??During a 30-day treatment, patients can expect an average weight loss of 25 pounds. (*Results vary by patient and are contingent on how closely the patient follows the prescribed program.)Is it healthy to lose 1 to 2 pounds per day with HCG Hormone Therapy injections?HCG studies indicate that weight loss comes directly from abnormal fat rather than lean muscle on this diet.?Following the GENESIS Weight & Age plan assures that the weight loss comes directly from abnormal fat tissue rather than lean muscle and does not strip the body of the much needed muscle, vitamins and minerals essential to maintain good health.??This diet releases excessive amounts of fat-stored nutrients into the blood stream where the body absorbs them.??Even though you are only consuming 500 calories a day, the body feels as though you are consuming 1500 – 2000 calories a day because this additional amount of calories is released from your fat.??HCG dieters report a feeling and appearance of greater health and marvel at how fast the weight comes off and how much energy they have during the diet.??Why does HCG Hormone Therapy follow a VLCD (very low calorie diet) of only 500 calories?HCG Hormone Therapy injections cause your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of the abnormal fat storage locations (hip, abdomen, thighs, saddlebags, double chins, pot bellies, back fat etc.) so that it's available for use. While you are only consuming 500 calories, your hypothalamus is continually releasing the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually operating on thousands of calories a day. This is the reason HCG Hormone Therapy dieters lose 1 to 2 pounds of fat or more per day without feeling hungry.Would I lose the same amount of weight eating a very low calorie diet without the HCG Hormone Therapy diet?You can certainly lose weight by eating fewer calories and less fat, but because the body stores fat during times of deprivation, you will most likely lose muscle and bone before fat. This causes your cellular metabolism to slow down and in the long run, would make gaining weight easier and result in decreased bone density and muscle mass.??Many people lose weight only to gain more back with traditional diets.??This does not happen with the HCG diet because your metabolism is not slowed down.The reason that HCG therapy works is because the program resets your metabolism and reprograms your body to use stored fat for energy.??Most importantly, it doesn't affect your muscles, bones and organs.?Will I be hungry on 500 calories a day?It is common to experience mild hunger during the first few days of the HCG Hormone Therapy diet however, it typically passes by the end of the first week.??By the second week, you will find that small serving sizes are completely satisfying. This is partially due to your hypothalamus adjusting your metabolic rate, but largely due to the amount of calories circulating in your system from the fat that is being released. It is common that HCG Hormone Therapy dieters feel like they are stuffing themselves in order to reach the 500 calorie limit!What is the hypothalamus gland?HCG stimulates the hypothalamus.??This gland allows the body to use stored or abnormal fat reserves in order to provide constant nutrition to a growing fetus.??When a non-pregnant person takes this hormone, the abnormal fat is still released for use. Taking this hormone allows the patient to burn abnormal fat, while keeping the necessary levels of structural and normal fat. By stimulating the hypothalamus and the resulting weight loss, patients have significant improvement in gout, rheumatism and arthritis, high blood pressure, gastric ulcers, high cholesterol, coronary disease and cerebral hemorrhage.?There are 3 types of fat in our bodies:1.?Structural Fat:?This fat provides support and protection to the organs, arteries and coronaries of the body.??It fills in the gaps between organs, and provides the pads of fat cushioning the heels when we walk.??It keeps the skin smooth and firm.??An excess of structural fat cannot cause obesity.?2.?Normal Fat:?The intestines receive their nutritional requirements from normal fat. This fuel for the body is distributed all over the body.??Excess of normal fat cannot cause obesity.??3.?Abnormal Fat:?This is the excess fat that causes obesity.??Abnormal fat occurs when the body ingests?????more nutrients than it needs at a time, and these nutrients are stored in locked fat reserves. The accumulation of this fat occurs all over the body, but most commonly accumulates on the buttocks, hips, stomach, arms, face, etc. This fat is kept as a potential reserve, and is not available immediately as nutrition, like normal fat.???When someone overweight diets, they reduce their caloric intake. First, the body burns normal fat to make up for the deficiency in calories. The body then burns structural fat when normal fat is depleted.??Only as a last, final resort will the body burn abnormal fat reserves. At this point, the dieter has usually given up due to the hunger, weakness, and little result experienced. Dieter's faces may become worn and tired and little improvement is seen in trouble areas holding excess fat. This is because abnormal fat reserves are not being burned.??HCG injections allow the body to release these abnormal fat reserves, making the stored nutrients available, and allowing the patient to burn this excess fat. Targeting abnormal fat will help you to achieve weight loss with comfort and little frustration. At Genesis Weight and Age Management, our medical professionals will administer this hormone safely to effectively help you reach your weight loss goals.How will the HCG Hormone Therapy diet protocol help me maintain my weight?The HCG Hormone Therapy diet protocol is different because it addresses the root cause of being overweight or obese — Abnormal Fat deposits. This protocol has the potential to permanently correct the body's metabolism by restoring it to that of a healthy person.??We all know people who can eat more and not gain weight.??This is because their “set point” is higher and their resting metabolic rate is higher.??The goal of the HCG diet is to reset your “set point” so that it is more difficult to gain weight back.?Will I regain weight after the HCG Hormone Therapy diet?After you reach your weight loss goal with the HCG Hormone Therapy diet, you will notice that your appetite, eating behavior and body has changed. It is important to sustain these changes by adopting a healthy lifestyle in order to maintain your weight. You will also find that a minimum amount of exercise is sufficient for maintaining a healthy body. Small exercise routines like yoga or 15-minutes of cardio per day can keep your heart rate up and the weight regain down. With your hypothalamus reset your metabolism will be different and you will be able to eat moderately without feeling the need to overeat. However, not exercising and overeating can lead to weight regain.??Why else choose the HCG Hormone Therapy Program?In addition to it resetting your metabolism, burning "abnormal fat," and being a relatively easy weight loss solution, there are several other positive side effects associated with HCG Hormone Therapy including increased energy, clearer thought processes and improved sleep.??Common QuestionsDo I have to do the "loading part" on the first two days?Yes, if you don't load you'll be hungry for the first couple of days.What should I do if I'm feeling hungry?Eat celery or other low-calorie snacks.What should I eat if I'm going out to dinner?We recommend ordering a salad, kabobs, or a grilled appetizer.Are non-sugar sweeteners like Equal okay to use while on the diet?No, but agave nectar (aka: agave syrup) and Stevia are both approved.Can I take a multi-vitamin, psyillium seed or aspirin while on the diet?Yes, but do not take fish oil pills.Can I eat tuna fish?No.Can I eat fruit???????????????????Yes. Apples and grapefruit are suggested.Do l really have to drink a lot of water every day?Yes, drink up to 2 quarts per day. ?Can I eat popcorn, as long as it's 10 calories and 5 carbohydrates per cup?Yes, but use air-popped, not oil-based.Can I eat sauerkraut, with basically no calories?YesCan I use “I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!” Spray (which has very low calories?)Yes, as long as it's in small portions.Can I use hot sauces like Siracha Chili Sauce, etc.?Yes, as long as they do not contain sugar or oils.Can I use low- calorie chicken stocks?Yes.Can I drink alcohol?No, beer and wine are not recommended.Does the HCG Hormone Therapy program cause an increase in testosterone level?Yes, in males. This increase improves your ability to grow muscle and reduce fat.What if I've been taking the wrong dosage?Correct it the next day and stay on the diet.I left my HCG at home and I'm on a trip. What should I do?Stay on the diet. It will be in your system for 3 days. Resume HCG when you return homeDoes HCG interact with any of the other medications I'm taking??In some instances, ?if you begin a new medication, please inform your GENESIS clinician.Do I need to shake the HCG vial before injecting?No. Do not shake at all because the HCG hormone is fragile. ?Does HCG have any side effects?No. ?I forgot to refrigerate the HCG for one day. Can I still use it?Yes. ? As long as it did not exceed 70 degrees F. ??Do I have a greater chance of getting pregnant on this dosage of HCG?Your risk of pregnancy potentially increases only if you are female and are having sex. ? You must be on birth control or abstinent while taking this medication.?Does the salt 1 crave/eat cause me to add water weigh?Possibly, but don't worry. It will return to normal over time??Why haven't I lost weight for 5 or 6 days and what do l do?Have an "apple day." ?Can I do an intense cardiovascular exercise (such as using the elliptical trainer for one hour)??Yes, but do not start a new exercise program at this time.??Can I exercise and lift weights while on the HCG Hormone Therapy program?Yes. It is recommended to maintain your normal workout routine.Can I increase the cycle time to lose more weight? ?No.What if I am losing too much weight?Depending on the person and the amount of weight to be lost, if you are losing more than 15 pounds a week, the clinician will adjust your calorie allowance.?ADDITIONAL FACTS?If you are currently on thyroid medication, you may experience? slower results.Patients who have previously taken diuretics may also experience slower weight loss results.Most patients experience more frequent urination. This is normal.It is common to experience light headaches, typically around Day 4, while on the program. Aspirin is permitted and recommended to alleviate your headache.It is common that weight loss rates fluctuate. Males tend to lose more consistently, and female weightless rates fluctuate more. This is due to water retention and variations in elimination of water, and should not be confused with failure to burn fat. The body is still burning fat to compensate for the deficiency of a 500 calorie diet, but water retention varies. These variations will ultimately correct themselves. ?If you have reached your target weight before the end of your HCG cycles and are experiencing severe hunger, the clinician may increase your caloric intake to 800-1000 in order to maintain the desired, stationary weight. This new higher caloric intake is maintained until the end of Phase 1. ?Please make an appointment with the clinician to discuss or we can discuss at your weekly weigh in.. ??I missed my shot. ?What do I do??If a disruption of treatment occurs for a period of four or more days, you must increase your caloric intake to at least 800 calories after the third day following the last injection. You must also increase your consumption of protein (meat, cheese, eggs, or milk) or you'll be hungry and fatigued. If the interruption time is less than two weeks, you may resume your treatment and 500 calorie diet immediately. If it lasts more than two weeks, you must eat normally and start the 500 calorie diet on the day of the third injection, much as the beginning of a new treatment. If you have advance notice of an interruption, it is advisable to stop taking your HCG three days before departure. This ensures that you can follow the 500 calorie diet during these critical three days following the last injection. In this way, you'll be able to eat normally during the absence and does not have to worry about the difficult task of following a restrictive diet while traveling. Interruptions before the 20th injection are least desirable as they are more likely to cause weight regain. Interruptions past the 20th injection tend to be more stable. It is a common feature of HCG Hormone Therapy treatment that the ratio of inches-to-pounds-lost corresponds one-to-one. In most cases, the number of inches lost in problem areas will match the number of pounds lost. ?The Plateau:??The "Plateau" typically occurs in the second - half of treatment, and may last between four and six days. It occurs most often with patients who have been losing one pound per day consistently, and in patients who are losing more than the average every day. A plateau is normal; it corrects itself; it does not mean that the HCG is losing efficacy. ??If a patient has maintained an over-weight for ten years or more, and then their weight increased significantly, there can be a plateau once the former weight is reached. This may last for roughly two weeks with no weight loss even when HCG treatment and correct dieting are at work.FailuresAny weight gain above 100 grams that is not due to the above reasons must invariably be a dietary transgression. Patients often admit readily when they have stepped outside the diet regimen. Though eating one ounce of a forbidden food seems harmless, it may cause a six ounce weight gain due to the fact that the body has grown accustomed to receiving 500 calories . When extra food is introduced, the already nutrient saturated blood must increase to hold extra nutrients, and will increase its volume in a diluted form, causing water retention. For example, the body can only hold salt in a ratio of one teaspoonful to one liter of water. Therefore, ?one teaspoonful?of salt can raise the weight by?two pounds, as the body retains water to accommodate the salt. This only occurs while on HCG therapy, and will not continue after treatment. ?(Salt is allowed, provided that the usage remains at a certain level. The sudden introduction of salt will account for weight gain due to the above mentioned ratio; however, it will not affect the actual amount of fat in the body). ?Patients may often unconsciously break the rules, relying too much on their memory of the diet sheet, or unthinkingly taste a sauce while cooking for a family. These small errors are important, and must be examined in detail. Eating at the homes of friends or family even when the diet is kept in mind may be problematic. ??WRITE EVERYTHING IN A FOOD DIARY. ?YOU MAY EVEN USE A MOBILE PHONE APP TO DO THIS.?LozengesIf the weight gain is not due to the above mentioned behaviors, it is possible that the patient has taken cough drops, throat lozenges, cough syrup, chewing gum, or the like. The high sugar content of these foods may affect weight gain. ?Strenuous ExerciseThough regular exercise is encouraged do not begin a new exercise program at this time.?SleepIt is common that the body may require less sleep than normal. Do not be alarmed if normal sleep patterns are temporarily disturbed.?Blood SugarIt is not uncommon for blood sugar levels to drop in patients nearing their desired weight. This is indicated by lightheadedness, weakness in the knees, trembling, and abnormal sweating. The patient should immediately take two large teaspoons of sugar. It is advised that patients be made aware of this possibility once nearing their weight goal, and advised to keep sugary candy on hand, especially while driving. The effects of the sugar must be monitored closely the following day. Patients who tend towards anxiety are apt to mistakenly take sugar when not experiencing true hypoglycemia. Emotional stress is a common producer of this mistake. It is advisable that the patient always takes sugar when uncertain. In a true situation of hypoglycemia the patient will not gain weight as a result of the sugar, and in cases of mistaken symptoms, the patient's weight will increase. It is rare that a patient will experience a second attack, though it is possible several days later. ?Muscular FatigueHCG treatment causes rapid loss of abnormal fat, which is often deposited in, around, and between muscles. When this fat is lost from muscles, they are left longer and leaner, which means they have farther to contract when moving a limb, for example. The body will adapt to the new form of the muscles, but since abnormal fat is lost so quickly the body may not be able to adapt following the rate of weight loss. This may cause what is known as muscular fatigue. It is important that the patient be aware of this, and not to confuse this phenomenon with weakness. Moving muscles may take more effort initially, but the body will adjust quickly. Patients who continue walking during treatment experience this to a much lesser degree.?VegetariansThe regular portion of this diet remains the same. Replace the meat and fish with 500 cc's of skimmed milk or curds per day. Be aware that the sugar content of the milk will slow the results of the diet considerably. ??Vitamins and AnemiaThere is no risk that weight loss will cause vitamin deficiency or anemia, because as fat is burned, the nutrients stored in the abnormal fat become available to the body. Vitamin C may be used in conjunction with an antihistamine if a patient is developing a cold. Antibiotics may be used if necessary, and cortisone is permitted occasionally in cases of bronchial asthma. It is common that asthmatic patients improve with HCG treatment alone. Taking a multi-vitamin is acceptable.?The VoiceMany obese patients fear the changing of voice during treatment. This treatment has been administered to many professional singers with no decline in the timbre of the voice, and many patients have experienced increased ease breathing, therefore enhanced vocal capabilities.FibroidsUterine fibroids remain unaffected by HCG treatment. It is necessary that any large externally palpable myomas are surgically removed prior to treatment. If they are not removed beforehand, there may be significant pain due to the removal of the abdominal fat that previously served as a cushion on the pelvic bed. The pressure from these tumors once the fat is removed can cause significant discomfort. Small to fair-sized myomas may be disregarded. ?GallstonesIt is possible in patients who have gallstones may have a gallbladder attack during treatment. ?It is important the patient understands that the reduction of fat in the diet, which aides in emptying the gall bladder, may exacerbate symptoms temporarily. ?This occurs with any type of diet not only the HCG diet. ?Patients must be aware that in the event of severe symptoms, operation may be necessary to remove the gallstones. In these cases, a drug stimulating the flow of bile may be administered. Though this complication is possible, it is uncommon. ??The Painful HeelSevere attempts at dieting may sometimes cause a painful condition in which patients experience extreme pain when bearing weight on their heels. This is due to a reduction of the structural fat which forms the padding underneath the calcaneus, or heel bone. Treatment with HCG will allow normal and structural fat reserves to restore, while reducing only abnormal fat. The painful heel syndrome will often disappear completely within ten to twenty days of treatment, with no recurrence of this condition. Obese patients should begin the diet immediately, and those patients with normal weights must load for one week prior to treatment. It should be noted that weight gain during this one week will occur, and the condition will not improve until the diet begins because it is not the change in weight that relieves the condition, but the rebuilding of structural fat. ?SkepticismMany patients, and even doctors, will be skeptical that the patient will not suffer from hunger or unhealthy weight loss in the face as experienced during other diets. This is cured most efficiently by speaking with patients who have already undergone treatment. Often, a waiting room becomes like group therapy, with patients sharing their success stories, or alternately, confessing diet errors to the group even when they have withheld these confession from the doctors.?Excessive EnthusiasmOccasionally, an overly enthusiastic patient will try to continue a 500 calorie diet post treatment. In this case, normal fat is being consumed and will cause not only weight regain when caloric intake is raised, but also cause severe hunger, weakness, fatigue, and unhealthy weight loss in the face. Weight gain may occur despite their efforts to eat little. These patients must be convinced of the necessity of maintaining a normal diet (avoiding starch and sugar) post treatment. ??Intentional Skipping of MealsWeight following the final injection may fluctuate two pounds. Only check weight first thing in the morning before eating, and with an empty bladder; daytime weight fluctuates and is misleading. If after treatment there is weight gain of more than two pounds, the patient must skip breakfast and lunch that day, making sure to drink a lot of fluid. For dinner the patient must east one tomato or apple, and a steak . ?It is crucial that the meals be skipped on the day of noted weight gain past two pounds. Meals must be skipped, and not simply diminished, and this will not have the same result if performed the following day. The "skipped meal and steak day" will cause the patient to lose one pound or more by the following morning. This treatment is rarely necessary. Most patients feel diminished appetite compared to their pre-treatment appetites, and may not be able to eat as much as they anticipate. If a patient overeats during one meal they often feel no hunger later, and so the weight tends to remain the same. Patients will rarely need to skip meals.Post-Diet Protein DeficiencyDuring the diet, the patient is kept at a bare minimum of protein consumption. Once the proteins released into the body as a result of abnormal fat being broken down are no longer supporting the person, it is necessary to eat adequate protein. If the patient does not consume enough protein, water will be retained, ankles will swell, and weight will be gained. ?RelapseThe most important rule to prevent relapse is to monitor weight daily. This is of the utmost importance, even when traveling, because weight regained after HCG therapy will be evenly dispersed, not showing the previous preference for certain areas, and therefore cannot be identified quickly by judging fit of clothes or appearance. Up to ten pounds may be added before the person notices. Daily weighing is?extremely important to prevent relapse. Relapse is most commonly seen in girls in their late teenage years, especially those who suffer from compulsive eating. Pregnancy and menopause may also negate the effects of treatment. Women undergoing treatment during the first year of menopause will complete the treatment successfully, but are more likely to relapse as menopause occurs. Once menopause is fully established, there is no longer this higher rate of relapse.????????IMPORTANT FACTS?Plan on 475 calories per day to remain within the limit. ?Be sure to eat all of the calories allotted to you and?do not try to eat less. Your body needs at least this many calories to maintain itself. Maintain 500 calories per day. Going over the 500 calorie limit can cause you to gain weight while taking HCG.You must continue on the 500 calorie diet on the last injection day and for two days?after your last shot. ?Be sure to record your last injection weight. ?If you are very hungry or weak for the 48 hours after your last injection, you can add an extra apple, protein, or 2-3 breadsticks only. ?Continue to follow the low calorie food diet on these days because your body is flooded with HCG and it will take about ?48 hours for it to leave the body. ?Day 3 after your last injection should consist of more normal calorie intake (1000-1200 calories), no sugar or carbohydrates, and plenty of protein. ?It takes three weeks for your weight to stabilize after completing the HCG injections. ??It is very important to follow the diet?exactly, as laid out. Weight loss will only occur if the diet is followed. If you go over the 500 calories, you will negate the effects of the HCG?for 3 days. In other words, you will not lose weight for the three days following the interruption of the diet protocol. You must follow the?"apple protocol"(see definitions) immediately following the day that you go over the 500 calories.?NO?sugar or starch during Phase 1. ?Sugar stimulates insulin and insulin turns it into fat. We also caution against eating sugar or starch for Phase 2??and?DEFINITELY NOT?during Phase 1. ?If you are feeling hungry between meals, you could have a small bite of leftover chicken rolled in a piece of lettuce like a sandwich, but be sure to deduct it from the next meal. You can make yourself an iced coffee with Stevia or Truvia. You could also make a smoothie with a handful of strawberries, water, ice and Stevia in a blender. As long as you track this as part of the daily 500 calories, you won't be cheating!?To stay on the diet, try eating a sliced tomato or cucumber with salt and pepper between meals. You can even broil the tomato in the oven with some spices. The same can be done with an apple and cinnamon but be sure to count this toward your 500 calorie limit. Remember that when you are on the HCG Therapy diet, if you eat any calories over the 500 per day limit, you may GAIN weight. HCG Therapy only works to help you lose fat when you strictly follow the very low calorie diet (VLCD). To help you track your calories, check out websites ?or?.?Phase 2Phase 2 last for three weeks and begins 48 hours after the last HCG injection. ?The goal of phase 2 is to maintain your new weight, not to lose more weight. ?When the days of dieting after the last injection are over, you may return to a moderate amount of calories. ?During phase two, you can increase your calorie intake to 1000-1200 calories per day. ?It takes about three weeks for the weight reached at the end of Phase 1 to become stable (does not show weight fluctuations after an occasional excess of calories). It is important to continue weighing yourself every day during this three week period.Do not gain or lose more than two pounds since your last injection weight. This is important because?the hypothalamus is being reset, as is the "base weight," and any weight loss during this time frame is at the expense of normal fat that is easily regained later. During this period, it's important to note that carbohydrates, sugars, rice, bread, potatoes, pastries, etc. can be dangerous to maintaining your new weight. If no carbohydrates are eaten, fats can be indulged somewhat more liberally and you can even consume small quantities of alcohol (such as a glass of wine with meals) without harm. However, as soon as fats and starch are combined things are liable to get out of hand. Monitor your diet very carefully during the first three weeks after the injections are complete to avoid disappointments. Slowly, you may incorporate starch and sugar back into your diet. Make sure to keep them in moderation to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Continue to weigh in every day. Continue to drink a water (2 liters), tea, or coffee daily.?Do not gain or lose more than two pounds during Phase 2. Losing more than two pounds will pull the weight from your normal and necessary body stores and will slow down your metabolism. ?Your body is resetting at your new weight.?Do not attempt to stay on the 500 calories per day diet as your body will go into starvation mode without the HCG injections you took during Phase 1 and you will more likely to gain the weight back more easily. ?Try to eat six meals per day and keep a food diary to help keep you on track. ?Be careful with sweet fruit, such as bananas. ? Eat nuts, seeds, cheese, milk and yogurt sparingly. Keep this to one serving per day. Limit your intake of starchy vegetables such as carrots, corn, and beets.?Eat protein. During Phase 1 your body was getting the very minimal amount of protein from food but had the advantage of obtaining protein from the fatty tissue being broken down by the HCG. The amount of protein must be increased during Phase 2 as your body cannot rely on protein that has been stored. Insufficient protein may lead to significant water retention, known as hunger edema. If this occurs the treatment is simple.?Steak and Cheese Day?(see definitions)?If you see a weight gain of 1 or 1.5 pounds, you can do the following to avoid a steak day:??????????Drink plenty of water.??????????Skip breakfast.??????????Have a whole can of tuna (packed in water) or chicken with mayonnaise with lettuce or celery for lunch.??????????Have a large portion of protein with a small salad and low fat dressing for dinner. ?This will usually allow you to lose a pound but will not be necessary if you increase your calories and avoid sugar and starch. Most dieters will not need to skip a meal unless they are not hungry due to a large lunch. If you gain more than 2 pounds, have a?STEAK DAY?(See definitions, this is different than the steak and cheese day). ?Phase 3 “THE BREAK” ??Immunity to HCG can develop. ?This is why a 3 week break or longer is required after you finish the injections. ?If you have lost the desired amount of weight, eat normally for the next 21 days, slowly adding back in healthy starches. ?If you have more weight to lose, you may restart the cycle again. ?If you need to restart the cycle to lose more weight, do not eat any sugar or starches during your HCG break period. Continue to weigh in every day and to drink a water (2 liters), tea, or coffee daily.?For a second or third HCG cycle, your break needs to be 21 daysFor a fourth cycle or more of HCG your break needs to be 28 days (four weeks)?Common problems??????????Not beginning with the gorging days on Days 1 and 2.??????????Not following the 500 calorie a day diet on Days 3-43 by either eating too much or too little.???????????Remaining on the 500 calorie diet too long after completing the Phase one.??????????Eating sugars and starches.??????????Not eating enough and trying to continue losing weight during the Phase 2 weight stabilization phase.??????????Eating too much dairy or high carbohydrate fruits or vegetables.??????????Drinking AlcoholDEFINITIONS:Steak and Cheese Day. ?Eat two eggs for breakfast and a steak for lunch and dinner followed by a helping of cheese. When this treatment is followed, 2 lbs. can vanish overnight. Your sleep may be disturbed, due to an extraordinary need to pass large quantities of water.

Avoid ending the treatment on the first day of a menstrual cycle. If this does occur, it is advisable to give the last injection three days before the first expected date of menstruation so that a normal diet may be followed at the onset of menstruation. At least three injections should be given following the menstrual cycle, and these are to be followed by the three days of 500 calorie dieting.??????????Drink at least two liters of liquid per day. When the body has enough water, the excess is eliminated quickly. Drinking ample water does not increase water retention and weight; conversely, when the body is deprived of sufficient water, it is then that the body retains water for future use, straining the kidneys and the intestines in effort to retain enough fluid.??????????Your bowel movements may decrease in frequency temporarily because of the minimum amount of food ingested. ?Drinking enough water is crucial to a well-functioning colon. There should be no difficulty with bowel movements as long as the patient drinks sufficient water. Because of the minimal amount of food ingested, it is not unusual to have a bowel movement as little as once every three or four days. If four days has elapsed without a bowel movement, contact your primary care provider.??????????Keep a food diary.???????????If you are losing more than 15 pounds a week, your clinician will increase your calories slightly????Preparing Ahead Tips1. Make a grocery list to buy meats and poultry, fresh vegetables and fruits every week.2. Prepare meats and poultry ahead removing all visible fat. Pack them in individual bags and weight them to make sure each portion is 3.5 oz. and shrimp 5 oz.3. Prepare vegetables and fruits the day before. Weigh them and pack them in separate bags.4. Make sure you have nonstick skillets and/or pans because all recipes are boiled, steamed or grilled. You won’t use any oil at all.5. Cook several meals a day so you are ready to go by just picking up your bags every day.6. Carry Stevia with you at all times in case you want tea or coffee out of your house.7. Try not to eat out to reduce risks of affecting the HCG diet. Restaurants portions are 6 to 12 oz. and marinate can include sugars which are not allowed during HCG diet.?Guidelines for Success1. When you buy HCG you must follow it step by step. Deviations of this diet can cause you to be unsuccessful.2. A total of 500 calories should be consumed. Cheating is not an option. Don’t even try one peanut, french fries, etc. because it will affect the diet.3. Weigh yourself weekly on our state of the art body composition scale at our clinic.4. Drink enough water during the HCG Diet. Dr. Simeons recommends more than 2 Liters per day. We have included water as part of the menu.?HCG APPROVED FOOD LISTFruitsQuantityCaloriesSmall apple160Berries3/4 cup80Pineapple2/3 cup71Grapefruit1/280Cantaloupe1 cup60Cherries1/2 cup26Small pear1482 Small or 1 Large plum260Apricots460Medium orange160Medium peach160Melba toast115VegetablesQuantityCaloriesarugula1 cup2asparagus1/2 cup23beet-greens1 cup39Bokchoy1 cup20broccoli1/2 cup22Brussels sprouts1/2 cup30cabbage4 oz.7cauliflower1 cup28celery1 cup14Chard1 cup7chicory1/2 cup21cucumbers1/2 cup20endive1/2 cup4fennel1 cup27garlic1 clove4green salad1/2 cup15hearts of palm1 cup41Italian green beans1 cup34leeks1/2 cup16lettuce1 cup8Greens (Beet, Collard, Dandelion, Mustard, Turnip)1/2 cup15okra1/2 cup26onions1/2 cup36peppers (all)1 cup18red radishes1 cup19scallions1/2 cup16snow peas1/4 cup22Spinach1 cup7tomatoes4 slices25watercress1/2 cup2winter squash1 cup20yellow squash1 cup20zucchini1 cup20???MEAT HCG RECIPESSteak FajitasIngredients:??????????3 ? oz. flat iron steak or top round steak.??????????1 green bell pepper—cored, seeded and cut into thin strips??????????1 medium onion, thinly sliced??????????? cup water??????????2 tablespoons fresh lime juice.??????????? teaspoon ground cumin??????????? teaspoon onion powder??????????? teaspoon garlic powder??????????Dash of saltDirections1.

During an apple dayno other food or liquids except plain water are allowed.The apple day produces a gratifying loss of weight on thefollowing day, chiefly due to the elimination of water. This wateris not regained when the patients resume their normal 500 caloriediet at lunch, and on the following days they continue to loseweight satisfactorily.????????????????HCG Diet Booklet??Day 1?Calorie CountBefore breakfastTake HCG??30min before breakfast?Breakfast16 oz. water08 oz. coffee or tea with no sugar.

I can virtually see daily weight loss and I can control the rate by increasing my exercise levels. I also have a new perspective in terms of portion size of my servings. I have been eating way more than I needed and now eat less and feel full and happy!"?– Joe?"After two children and turning 46, I had gained ten pounds, which was sitting on my waist and arms. I dieted and exercised to no avail... my metabolism finally caught up with me. Now I have a waist again! I'm as thin as I was in college, and look even better than ever thanks to the HCG diet protocol. I am satisfied with smaller portions and healthier foods, and I am now looking forward to working out to maintain my returned figure."?- Maureen?"I didn't think it was possible to get back to my high school weight, 1 had tried and never could. HCG is really a wonder drug. You see results almost every day. Further, before this diet I thought I knew a lot about food and cooking. Following this program is a real education in shopping, cooking, and really reading labels. My eating habits are changed forever. If America was on this diet, obesity would largely be a disease of the past."?- Jay?"HCG works! In going through my first 30 days, with no exercise, I continued to lose weight even with my travel schedule. This diet has taught me how to watch my calorie intake, which is an area I never paid attention to in the past. Prior to starting this diet, I found myself barely able to walk without pain, as my right knee needs replacement. Now, having lost 28 pounds, the pain is substantially less, which has encouraged me to start an exercise program in hopes of actually, being able to play tennis again."?- Mark ................
