HCG Diet
WHAT IS HCG?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. A non-harmful, natural, polypeptide protein that exists in every tissue in the human body in small amounts.
HOW DOES HCG WORK?
HCG attacks the excess, stored body fat that is not only unsightly, but a health risk. HCG is produced during pregnancy to protect a baby by pulling calories and nutrition from the mothers stored fat. Therapeutic HCG works similarly, by feeding you 2000 calories from your excess fat. This is also the reason why you will not be hungry on a restricted HCG diet plan of 500 daily calories.
WHAT KIND OF RESULTS WILL I SEE?
Following the HCG Diet will allow you to reshape and re-sculpt your body by eliminating abnormal fat deposits. It is important to realize that everyone will see different results at a different pace. So do not get discouraged if you start with a partner or group of friends. By committing to the HCG diet you will lose weight safely and efficiently, so say goodbye to those excess inches!
It is important to focus on losing inches, not just weight.
WHY NOT JUST A CALORIE RESTRICTED DIET?
Since your goal is to lose only stored fat, not normal or structural fat, it is essential to supplement HCG for safety and efficacy purposes. By eating a restricted 500 calorie diet without HCG you will be left irritable, fatigued and protein deficient. You body will start to feed not only on the fat, but also muscle, causing hunger.

HCG SAMPLE MENU
Morning:
You may have as much organic coffee, green tea, Yerba tea, or Woo-long tea as you desire. (See additional food section for a description of teas). NO Sweeteners are allowed! If you cannot live without a sweetener, we recommend a product called Stevia, which can be purchased at any health food store. You can also use Truvia, which is the newest natural sweetener and this can be purchased at your local super market.
For your meal, you may have one of the following:
An apple, a grapefruit, a handful of strawberries or any berries, or an orange. Apples and grapefruits work best with the HCG diet because of their cleansing properties.
We prefer you to use organic produce because it tastes better and is better for you. There is more nutrition in one organic apple than five regular apples!
If you have a history of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, you will need a small amount of protein to your morning meal, such as 2 to 3 egg whites.
Mid-day/Lunch:
You may eat between 100 to 150 grams (approx 4-6 oz., use the palm of your hand as your guide) of one of the following items: organic beef or steak, organic chicken breast (skinless), Veal, any white fish, and any shell fish (shrimp, scallops, etc.).
Also try to avoid farm raised fish and buy wild fish whenever possible.
In addition to what meat you choose, you may have a large handful of one of the following: organic leaf lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, celery, asparagus, cucumbers, fennel, broccoli, or cabbage.
These can be mixed together, eaten raw, steamed or grilled. NOTE: If you do mix together, you still cannot have more than a large handful. NO SALAD DRESSING MAY BE USED. You can, however, use a teaspoon of olive oil and you may have all of the garlic, lemon, vinegar, black pepper, and sea salt that you would like. You can also use a spray dressing like Ken's. One to two squirts only! The only vegetables you cannot eat are the sweet ones like peas, carrots and corn. Try to stick with green vegetables.
You are allowed up to three fruits a day, which can be used as snacks in between meals.
Evening/Dinner:
Follow the same meal plan as mid-day/lunch. HOWEVER, it is best not to have the same meat, fish, or vegetables that you did for lunch.
NOTE: Eat everything as described. DO NOT SKIP MEALS! The people that skip meals do not do as well on the HCG diet. You will not benefit or lose any extra weight by doing so. You will not lose more weight by simply eating more vegetables and eating less meat or protein. Always have a protein and a vegetable with lunch and dinner. The people that only have a piece of chicken for lunch don't do as well on the HCG diet. Remember your body needs this healthy fuel even though you're getting 2000 calories from your fat every day.
Be aware of calories while on this HCG diet, but DON’T STRESS or waste time counting them. Just follow this protocol and it WILL work for you.
