For maximum effect (losing 1 -2 lbs. daily), it is important to strictly adhere to the following diet protocol. This is how our clients have been successful.

Body reshaping and fat burning solution in an all natural way

What the protocol does is to utilize the natural hormones in the body to help manage the fat stored within your body. It does this by accelerating the releaseof stored fats. Usually, only during starvation and pregnancy are thesestored fats released.

The hormone, HCG, is normally produced during pregnancy. The function of this hormone is to help keep provide adequate nutrition to the baby when the mother does not consume enough calories as a result of famine or other causes. What the HCG hormone does is to release the body’s stored fat and use it to provide necessary nutrition to the growing baby.

If a person adhering to a very low calorie diet is given HCG, the body will release stored fats in an effort to provide energy in the form of calories. It will also work on the hypothalamus so that rather than storing fat for long term usage; it will store it as normal fat that the body utilizes on a day to day basis. Additionally, most individuals on this protocol will experience a reduction in appetite due to the HCG releasing the stored fat into the blood stream. It is similar to when a healthy and filling fatty meal is eaten.

If someone who is not pregnant takes the HCG, what happens is that the body will still release the stored fat in the body? As there is no fetus present in the body to utilize them, the body losses the fat through it’s natural elimination processes.

One advantage of this diet is the preservation of muscle while losing weight rapidly. Muscle is often lost on other programs that result in rapid weight loss. This hormone promotes the release and metabolism of excess fat for the release of energy, while sparing muscle.

Although it might help in facilitating and regulating conception and the menstruation in women, it will neither make a woman masculine nor make a man feminine. Its action is the same as if the sex glands are no longer active due to age or surgical removal.

There are usually no interactions between HCG and other medications taken, including birth control. As always, it is advisable that one consults his/her doctor before embarking on any weight loss program.

HCG is an acronym for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. This hormone is what the HCG Diet Protocol utilizes. The homeopathic HCG is prepared in a safe and effective manner that will allow the body to utilize it effectively.

The protocol is divided into 3 phases

The HCG Diet Protocol is available as a 20-40 day protocol. Additional rounds of it can be done if needed. The amount of days chosen should be based on the amount of weight you want to lose. Regardless of how many days you choose to be on the diet, the protocol should always involve the following 3 phases:

First phase

Excessive eating phase

The first two days of the protocol are spent in this phase. During these first 2 days, you are to eat large quantities of high calorie, high fat foods. You can eat as much as you like during this 2 day period. You will also be using the HCG as instructed during this phase.

Second Phase

Measured very low calorie (500) phase

This phase begins on the 3^rdday and lasts until you finish the protocol. The duration depends on the number of days you will be on the diet. It requires strict adherence to consuming no more than 500 calories comprised of the foods listed below. In order to attain the best results, it is important that you consume only foods listed below. You will use the HCG daily during this phase until you run out of it. For 3 days following your last dose of HCG, you must adhere to the 500 calorie restrictions.

Third Phase

Maintenance Phase

This is the last 3 weeks of the protocol and you are restricted to eating food that containsneither sugar nor starch.

A SUMMARY OF THE HCG Diet Protocol

The first two days of the protocol begins with the individual building up the starch and fat reserve in the body. Foods that are rich in fats, protein and starch are encouraged as much as possible. Quite a good number of those who are partaking in the HCG Diet Protocol have tried other means and have placed themselves on diets that will have resulted in a loss in the quantity of the fats that are stored within the body. The body should have these stored fats, especially the fat surrounding your body organs, prior to the commencement of the protocol.

Phase one begins in the first two days that the with the HCG into the body. This allows the HCG to already be present in your body prior to the release of the excess fat stored in the body is needed. In these two days there should be excessive eating in order to increase the quantity of fat stored within the body. A visible attribute that will be noticed in this stage is gaining of body weight; the body weight gained is an indication fat reserve in the body is being built up by the body. It is important that the body gains weight during this period as the body will require it later in the course of the HCG Diet Protocol.

During the second phase, the average weight loss will be one pound daily. There is the probability of losing more in the early stage and losing less in the later stage. It has also been observed that the weight loss in a man is slightly higher than that of a woman.

For the next 40 days or more, the protocol continues. After you have used all of the HCG injections, you are advised to still maintain the HCG diet for 3 days as there will still be some traces of the HCG in the body. If you should go back to the normal diet when the HCG is still within your body liberating the store fat, you will end up gaining a reasonable amount of weight. Once these 3 days are over, you can go back to the normal amount of calories you were taking.

For the next three to six weeks you should avoid taking any food that contains sugar orstarch.

Key Points to Note

1. During the protocol avoid all form of massage and facials. This will disturb the activitiestaking place within the tissues of the body
2. Substances that are not organic and free from toxicity should not be applied on theskin. This includes eyebrow pencil, lipstick, powder, lotions, creams and moisturizers.
3. Believe it or not, any toxic substance put on the skin can be absorbed by the skin anddisrupt the entire protocol.

Important notes for women

When menstruating, HCG is secreted into the body naturally, if you should take the HCG, you will be making the protocol benefits unrealized. The continuingweight loss and the lack of appetite might be lost as the body will become immune to theHCG.

During the period of menstruation, do not take the HCG when your flow is heavy, you can stilltake it when your flow is light. If you do not know when the flow is heavy flow and light flow, itwill be advisable that you do not use the HCG until your flow ends. Once the flow endsyou can resume taking the HCG again.

It will not be necessary to check your weight during the days of menstruation; it is possiblenot to notice any difference as a result of the flow. So, if you do check, do not be discouragedby the result. You should still maintain the HCG diet of 500 calories while you aremenstruating.

You are likely to experience some pangs of hunger during these days, this pang can beaddressed with green tea. This will only be experienced on the first day.

If you are pregnant or you want to become pregnant, then this program is not for you.

Irrespective of the fact that the natural HCG secreted in your body is supposed to help thebaby in the period of starvation. There is the risk of losing the baby if you maintain the 500calorie diet that the program stipulates in phase 2.

PHASE ONE: EXCESSIVE EATING PHASE

This phase is also known as loading phase. During this period, amount of calorie that is takeninto the body is high. This is to stock up the body for the future days of low calorie intake.This phase is the preparatory phase that sets the body for the fat release program.

During this loading phase, you may observe some weight gain. This weight is usually lost in less than 72 hours once the protocol emergences fully. The loss of weight that will be experienced in the course of this program comes from the abnormal fat deposit within the body.

What you will be doing in phase 1.

1. 2 days of overloading: At this point you and food should never be apart. Eat, eat andeat! If you can eat all through the day then do so.
2. Taking of the HCG should begin: the dosage of the HCG should bespread out across the whole day; this will help to ensure that the body has HCG flowingregularly within the system
3. Drink as much as half a gallon of water on a daily basis. You can take soda, wine, beeror any kind of drink during this phase.
4. There should be no restriction to your diet during this phase. The aim of this phase isto fattening you up as much as possible. All the fat that have been lost have to be builtup again and structure back to the way they should be. For better results you have toeat well, the more you eat the better the result that will be attained. If you do not loadin as much food as you can during this phase you might experience some pangs ofhunger during the course of the protocol. The Loading phase is for you to gain weight;you do not have to be trouble about the weight gained as it will be lost before the end ofthe first week into the second phase.
5. The kind of food you should eat should include those that are high in their fat content.This food can include cakes, cookies, dairy queen, custard, creams, chocolate andpastries. All you are saying to this food as you eat them is a temporary goodbye.
6. You can pay a lot of attention to food that contains high content of calories. These caninclude creamy foods.
7. The food specifically included in the HCG diet include milk, pastries,chocolate, sugar, cream, eggs and bacon, bread and butter together with jam,mayonnaise etc. We advise that you include either of these meals when you are on theprotocol.

Key points to note

1. The probability of a man losing weight is greater than that of a woman.
2. The loss of fat will occur at a rate of 2lbs/day when the protocol begins
3. The body will reach a maximum point (plateau), at this point no weight loss might occurfor a number of days. What happens here is the body breaking down the old fat cellsand rearranges them. Do not fret, just wait patiently.
4. The body will on its own determine when the body can safely lose fat without causingthe body system any hazard.
5. Keep in mind that you are losing both pounds and inches; so do not getcarried awaywith the loss of pounds only.
6. If your target of losing between 10-50 pounds is met, continue the program butincrease your calorie to a range of 500 to 800 calories during the second phase.

Failure to do this will result to you feeling very hungry for the remaining part of thesecond phase. From there you can proceed to Phase 3 as that is where themetabolism of your body gets reset.

PHASE 2: The Phase of 500 Calories

Irrespective of the fact that what you will be consuming will be 500 calories, you will find thatyou will still be filled with so much energy and very little appetite for food. The success of theprotocol lies in your ability to follow the diet that is prescribed for you. The foods that are notincluded in the list should not get into your diet. If you make the mistake of adding somethingnot in this list the end result will be a failure of the program and disappointment in yourexpected weight loss target.

It will do you a great deal of good if you can keep a journal of the food you eat on a daily basis.Below is a table that shows the kind of food that you can eat during the second phase of theprotocol and the amount of calorie that each of the food contained in them.

The type of Fish that can be taken in the second phase and their respective quantity is listed below.

PHASE TWO: the phase of 500 calories.

The phase two of the HCG Diet Protocol last for 38 days. This phase requires that the HCG alongside with a diet that is 500 calories. A typical meal will be aprotein of 4 oz., fruits, vegetables and a little quantity of grain. The HCG must be takenaccording to the specification directed in the protocol.

The HCG when taken with a low calorie will help the body to release all the fat that is storedwithin the body for a long time. The size of calorie that will be found in the blood stream as aresult of this release will be as much as 1500 to 4000 calories on a daily basis. With therelease of the calories from the body, despite the 500 calories that is taken in, the body willhave adequate nutrition and energy for the entire period of the HCG diet protocol.

Once the phase two is complete, you will cease to use the HCG; for the next three daysafter you have ceased the use of the HCG you will still maintain the diet plan of 500calories.

In phase two, all the excess fat that is accumulated within your body is lost, thereby giving youa new shape. The phase three is all about helping your body maintain this shape.

A weight gain that exceeds 2 pounds will affect your body metabolism from beingable to maintain the new shape and weight.

Key points to note in phase 3.

If you should gain more than 2 pounds you will be required to have a steak day.

Avoid being too excited. It is exciting when you discover that you can eat as much as you likewithout gaining weight again. In the course of this you should not get carried away and beginto consume sugar and starch which you ought to avoid for the next three weeks at least.

It is advisable that you make minor changes in your diet. The changes should not come sosudden. You can introduce them gradually within the three weeks. Start by maintaining the500 calories, from there you can extend to the inclusion of egg, glass of milk and chesses.

Do not be scared when you add two pounds in the course of phase three. Do not skip meals;the success of this phase depends on you eating normally after the HCG dieting has beenconcluded.

Do not continue a low diet as this will increase the probability of you having some weight losscoming back.

STEAK DAY

This is optional. It applies only if you have gained more than 2 pounds in the course of phasethree. On the last day of phase two, weigh yourself, if what you weigh in phase three is 2pounds more than what you weighed in the last two days of phase two, you should proceed tothe steak day.

Procedures for steak day

1. Skip breakfast and lunch completely but drink a lot of water
2. For dinner take a big plate of steak accompanied only with raw tomatoes and apple.
3. The only time to check your weight is in the morning after your bowels have beenemptied. Never check in the middle of the day as the result can be fluctuating and thusconfusing.
4. You must go without breakfast and lunch on the day you observe the increase inweight.
5. The steak day should not be postponed. If it is done immediately the next day there willbe a reduction of your weight by 1 pound. Should you wait to have it later in the future then youmight have a need for strict dieting to have it corrected.
6. What is meant by steak day is that you eat only dinner but have the entire day taking asmuch water, tea and coffee as you can contain.
7. It does not matter how big the steak is; and you can cook the steak with oil, butter andapple if you so wish. The important thing is that you abstain from meal throughout the dayuntil dinner.

The plateau

Maintain one pound ina day for 4-6 days, then it is known as a plateau. Plateau normally takes place when a fullcycle has gone half way. Plateau will occur either earlier r or later in those who are reducingin weight more than average. This will correct itself however; there are some people who areworried when they are experiencing plateau.Plateau is not indication that you are not going on well with the protocol.

Due to some reasons that are totally psychological, we allow that the plateau should becorrected. But to correct this you can take 6 apples beginning from lunch time. This is calledan apple-day which ends prior to the lunch time of the next day. You should not exceed sixapples. No other food should be eaten except the 6 apples. You should not drink waterunless you need to quench a serious thirst urge. Majority of the people do not drink water.

They are content with the six apples. The apple day will help you to lose weight owing to theexcretion of water which you have not gotten back as you go back to the normal 500 caloriethat you are maintaining earlier on during lunch. During the subsequent days you will belosing weight successfully.

What happens if I take a break?

If the program is going to be disrupted due to certainexigencies of life and the disruption will last up 4 days, then the patients should elevate thecalorie intake to 800 calories by including such foods as cheese, milk, meat and even eggs.This will be done in the fourth day of the program. If it is not done the patient will becomeexcessively hungry as well weak such that the person will not be able to attend his normalwork.

The patient can continue with homeopathic HCG drops as well as the 500 calorie dietstraight away if the interval is not up two weeks. It is advisable for the patient to break up the HCG into 3 days prior to your journey if you have already known that you willbe travelling. This will enable you to observe the 3 days important dieting following the last HCG. This makes it possible for the patient to travel without arranging the500 calorie diet in the course of his travel which is impossible. He will also be free fromkeeping the dietary plan while on transit.

It is not good for the program to be interrupted before the 20th day while on HCG. This is it is likely for the patient to re-acquire weight.

It is always advisable that you plan the program to fit into your schedule of time when you willbe able to meet all the criteria that are expected of you. If the diet is broken for a period lessthan two weeks, you can resume back to the initial 500 calorie diet and the HCG diet.

If you will be away for more than 4 days then you should round up the phase two and proceedto the 3 days of strict dieting, so that you can be free to eat whatever you want to eat again.

If the days you will not be able to take the HCG drops are within the last four of the phase two,you can increase the calories intake to 800.

If you are going to conclude before the prescribed time, you should plan ahead so that you willhave the three days that you are not expected to take HCG you require before themaintenance phase (phase 3).

Further needs for the program

If the amount of weight loss is greater than 34 lbs, then you will require more than onesession. Before you begin the new protocol session ensure that there is at least a minimumof six weeks between the new date and the end of the phase two. You may repeat this asneeded for additional weight loss.

With this you can loss as much as 100lbs. or more Keep in mind that men lose weight fasterthan women.

Generally speaking men are more successful than women and can achieve the average dailyweight loss.
