The Diet

Breakfast: / I prefer Crystal Light™. However Dr. Simeons suggests 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 (3 ½ Ounces) 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.
2.One type (3 ½ Ounces) 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.
3.One breadstick (grissino) or one Melba toast.
4.An apple, orange, or a handful of strawberries or one-half grapefruit.
Dinner : / The same four choices as lunch (above.)

Additional Diet Information

The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes. Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, majoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but no oil, butter or dressing.

Tea, coffee, plain water, Crystal Light ™ or mineral water are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times. In fact, you should drink about 2 liters of these fluids per day. Many patients are afraid to drink so much because they fear that this may make them retain more water. This is a wrong notion as the body is more inclined to store water when the intake falls below its normal requirements.

The fruit or the breadstick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner, but not more 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 be used without special permission.

There is no objection to breaking up the two meals. For instance, having a breadstick and an apple for breakfast or an orange before going to bed provided they are deducted from the regular meals. The whole daily ration of two breadsticks or two fruits may not be eaten at the same time, nor can any item saved from the previous day be added on the following day.

It is recommended to get a food scale and weigh all meats and vegetables raw before cooking. Remove all fat before weighing and cooking. Spicy foods can help to be more satisfying and help increase water intake.

HCG Injection Instructions

The best time to give yourself HCG injections is every morning around the same time each day. Injection is to be given mid-thigh just to the outside edge.

Step 1

Fill the syringe to the 0.25 cc line with HCG (initially fill to 0.5 cc line then push out extra HCG and any air bubbles down to 0.25 cc line).

Step 2

Cleanse site with alcohol wipe and allow skin to dry, then uncap needle.

Step 3

Inject the HCG by holding the syring in the middle like a dart and push it quickly into the skin at a 90 degree angle. Insert the needle completely, then depress the plunger and inject the HCG in a quick fashion.

Step 4

Remove the needle from the skin straight and quickly and place a band-aid if desired.

Step 5

Dispose of your needle in a sharps container, never directly into the trash.
Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is HCG? It is a natural hormone produced in the body of pregnant females. It is collected from pregnant female urine and prepared for injection.

1. How does HCG work? HCG helps the body to “mobilize” fat and use it as energy for a pregnant mom and the fetus. This is important because many women are quite sick for the first trimester of pregnancy and are unable to eat or if they do are so nauseated that they can not keep anything down. HCG helps the mom and fetus to have adequate energy and to not “starve” when mom is unable to eat a necessary amount of calories. It more or less unlocks abnormal fat for this energy. HCG for weight loss does not mimic a pregnancy state, but helps burn-off unwanted fat stores.

1. Is HCG safe? Yes, all women have HCG in their body when pregnant. Research for over 50 years have shown no side effects with the small amount used in weight loss for either men or women.

1. If I simply starve myself, won’t I loose the same amount of weight? Yes, however, you will loose different weight and will feel much hungrier. Simply not eating will break down normal fat cells and protein/muscle mass. However, HCG helps the body used abnormal stored fat for energy instead of decreasing bone density and muscle mass.

1. Can I take HCG while on other medications? Yes, HCG generally does not react with other medications, however, first talk with the healthcare provider about what you are currently taking.

1. What is the Vitamin B12 for? Vitamin B12 is an important vitamin you usually get from food. It helps make red blood cells and keeps your nervous system working right. It also helps your energy levels.

1. How much weight can I expect to loose on the HCG diet? On the average most clients loose about 20 pounds per month. When the diet is started weight loss is quicker at about 10 pounds the first week.
