HCG Diet Protocol Basics

The HCG diet protocol refers to the specific weight loss plan designed by Dr. Simeons.  This diet plan, used in conjunction with HCG injections, was developed to promote healthy weight loss.  The plan is divided into three sections.

HCG Diet Section 1

For the first two days on the diet users are encouraged to eat as much as they want of traditionally fat filled foods.  This is designed to create a store of fat to fight off hunger pangs or headaches that may develop after going through the low calorie phase.

At this point the dieters also begin their HCG injections. Most people’s bodies will take two days for the HCG to absorb into their system and reach adequate levels necessary for the diet.

HCG Diet Section 2

This is the gist of the actual diet phase.  Depending on weight loss goals this phase will last either 26 days or 42 days.  During this time period dieters are to eat only the specific foods approved for the HCG diet.  The HCG injections will also continue for the same time period except for the final 3 days of the diet.  During those last days, dieters continue on the meal plan but stop the injections.

The HCG diet is very specific about the foods and quantities allowed during this time period.  The diet calls for only 500 calories per day derived from a list of certain foods.  This plan is a high protein-low carb type of eating plan.

Section 3 of the HCG Diet Plan

Depending on the dieter’s goals, this section is either a maintaining section or a continuation section.  For those people that met their loss goal, this is where people are allowed more freedom towards their food choices.  The idea is to monitor weight and stay within two pounds of the ideal weight.  In order to do this people will need to choose sensible foods and stay away from the eating lifestyle that originally led to the weight gain.

Those dieters that wish to continue with their weight loss will stay on section 3 for a few weeks and then return to section 1 where the HCG injections will be restarted.

People that are interested in pursuing Dr. Simeons plan can buy HCG online from a number of sources.  The complete diet outline, along with the directions for administering the injections, can be purchased in a single package regardless of the dieter’s desire for a 26 day plan or longer.
