How to do the Original hCG Diet by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons

Excerpts are from Dr. Simeons manuscripts, "Pounds and Inches" showing the original 500 VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet)

The original HCG Diet consists of taking your HCG and following a restricted 500 calorie diet for a minimum 21days to a maximum of 45 days. Don’t worry, the HCG will flood your body with calories so you won't feel hungry or tired like you normally would on a diet. The most important factor in losing the weight is to stick to the recommended protocol that Dr. Simeons wrote. There are many people who are experimenting with their own diet recipes. We want to stress that a slight increase in calories or changing the recommended foods could cause negative effects on your weight loss goals. Keep this in mind when consider what other HCG Dieters are eating. Also do not exceed 200IU HCG per day, as this can reverse the effects of the diet. Don’t use HCG during a menstrual cycle, the best time to start treatment is immediately after a period Never use HCG if you are pregnant or nursing.

People who want to lose 15 pounds or less will need 21 days of HCG treatment followed by 3 extra days of the low calorie diet. People who need to lose more than 15 pounds should limit the number of HCG treatments (36 to 42) followed by 3 extra days of the low calorie diet. If you still need to lose more weight; then you need to wait 6 to 8 weeks and control your foods before starting a new HCG Diet cycle. People become temporally immune to the effects of HCG after 42 days of HCG injections, skipping one dosage once per week helps prolong the HCG immunity factor. Skip one dosage per week on the same day each week!

You must let all the HCG exit your system before you start eating normal or you will put on weight at the end of the diet. After completing your hcg injections and letting the HCG exit your body you will need to continue to limit your calories in a controlled fashion avoiding sugars and starches for 3 weeks. Your body needs to grow accustom to its new weight. The Atkins diet works well for this period. After 3 weeks, if you are now at your desired weight you would very gradually add starchy foods in small quantities. You need to continue to weigh yourself in the mornings and if you gain more than 2 pounds you will not eat breakfast or lunch and then you will eat one steak at night. This should correct and stabilize your weight again.

Original hCG Diet by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons

Day One- Take the correct HCG dosage, (Inject or Sublingual dosage) don't eat or drink for 15 minutes if you are taking HCG  sublingually  (oral method). Eat as much food as you possibly can, you must gorge your self for the first 2 days to flood your body with calories. Eat burgers, pizza, pie, pastries, anything with fat and calories. This will help you not to be hungry on your third day.

Day two- Repeat day one… PIG OUT!!!!!!!

Day Three- Take HCG in the right dosage, you will start eating the correct low calorie food in the required amounts, drink 1/2 gallon to one gallon of water until the end of your diet cycle (21-42 days). Scroll down for the food list

End of diet- remember to stay on the low calorie foods for 3 days after your last HCG dosage. Let your weight stabilize for 3 weeks avoiding sugars and starch (The Atkins diet works for this 3 week period). After 3 weeks, very gradually add starch in small quantities, controlled by scale watching in the morning.  More information about the different phases of the diet can be found in Kevin Trudeau book the weight loss cure, But some of the things in his book are not necessary in our opinion.

This is Dr. Simeons diet food recommendations for the diet.

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 (MCT coconut oil is ok for some people), butter or dressing.

  You should drink about 2 liters of these fluids per day. Many people 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.

 Fruit or a 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.

 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 

Medications and cosmetics

No medicines(do not stop taking medcation without doctors consent, some medicine may be allowed with HCG) or cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and powder may be used, do not stop taking your medication; Obesity is a serious medical condition that should be addressed with your family doctor. We strongly advise you to seek the counsel of a knowledgeable and competent specialized physician or practitioner.  Some doctors are open to working with and helping you conduct the HCG Diet.

Aspirin and birth control are allowed on the Simeons hCG Diet.

 Every item in the list should be gone over carefully, continually stressing that no variations other than those listed may be introduced. Anything not listed is forbidden.

Female menstrual cycles- On the first day of full flow, you must stop the injections. You will continue the 500 cal/day diet. When your period is almost over and you are just spotting, you may restart the injections. The injections that you missed during this time will be added to the end of the program so that you get the full 23 or 40. Yes, this will extend your program. Some diet clinics have patients continue injections during menstrual cycles, the result is heaver flow.

Timing  and HCG injections

When a patient has more than 15 pounds to lose the treatment takes longer but the maximum we give in a single course is 40 injections, nor do we as a rule allow patients to lose more than 34 lbs. (15 Kg.) at a time. The treatment is stopped when either 34 lbs. have been lost or 40 injections have been given. The only exception we make is in the case of grotesquely obese patients who may be allowed to lose an additional 5-6 lbs. if this occurs before the 40 injections are up."

 Plateaus

If you should reach a plateau with your weight loss and you have not taken more than 40 HCG dosages, you can break the plateau by having an apple day. Eat only six apples throughout the day. Drink only enough water to satisfy your thirst day.

Certain foods can cause people to have plateaus; tomatoes are one food that some people have problems with. Coconut oil contains medium chain triglycerides that help promote weight loss but some people have reported gains and some people report extra losses from using it. 

Constipation

Constipation is often encountered when you have less food intake. One you can add fiber by taking fiber additives. Increase your fluid intake, drink more water.  Herbal teas: Dieters Tea, Smooth tea, Steep these teas for a short time because they can cause cramping. Licorice tea can also be beneficial; you may also try Cascara Sagrada. This is also an herbal supplement that acts as a natural laxative.
