HCG Diet Phase 2

If you don't know everything there is to know about Phase 2 of the HCG Diet, you need to keep reading...

In my last post I gave you Phase 1 of the HCG Diet. And like I told you yesterday, the 1st phase of the diet is highly recommended. So if you haven't done it yet, make sure this is something that you at least consider before starting the 500 Calorie Diet.

Now I am sure I don't have to tell you that Phase 2 is the most important part of the HCG Diet when it comes to losing weight. In fact, this is the phase that you will lose all of your weight in. So if you haven't read this part of the protocol, here is Phase 2 in its entirety...

Phase 2 of the HCG Diet

The entire manuscript that describes this protocol is entitled, Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity - by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, M.D.
 

(THIS PHASE MUST BE DONE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A LICENSED HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONER!)

Day One:

• Take an injection of between 125-200 units of hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) first thing in the morning.
   
• Drink one-half to one gallon of water throughout the day, ideally with coral calcium sachets.
   
• Gorge yourself and eat as much food as you can throughout the day.
   
• Do any of the items from Phase 1 as you choose.

Day Two:

• Repeat Day One.

Day Three:

• Weigh yourself immediately upon arising, after emptying the bladder, without clothes.
   
• Take an injection of between 125-200 units of hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) first thing in the morning.
   
• Drink one-half to one gallon of water throughout the day, ideally with coral calcium sachets.

For breakfast have only:

• Black Coffee
• Organic Green Tea
• Organic Yerba Mate Tea
• Organic Wu Long Tea
• Organic Chamomile Tea

Throughout the morning drink as much organic green tea, organic Yerba Mate tea, organic Wu Long tea, and/or organic chamomile tea, and water as you desire. Always make your tea with pure water, never tap water.

For lunch eat 100 grams (weighed raw) of grilled (no oil or fat):

• Organic Grass Fed Beef 
• Veal
• Organic Chicken Breast (skinless)
• Wild Chilean Sea Bass
• Flounder
• Sole
• Halibut

• One large handful of one of the following organic vegetables:

• Spinach 
• Chard
• Beet greens
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Celery
• Fennel
• White Onions
• Yellow Onions
• Red onions
• Red Radishes
• Cucumbers
• Asparagus
• Cabbage

These can be eaten raw, steamed, grilled (without oil), or gently boiled. Do mix vegetables in the same meal.

• One small organic apple, or small organic grapefruit, or a handful of organic strawberries.
   
• You may season any of the food with the juice of half an organic lemon, white or black pepper, organic raw apple cider vinegar, sea salt, organic garlic, organic basil, organic parsley, organic thyme, organic marjoram, or any other organic herb. Absolutely no oil, butter, dressings, or anything else!
   
• Dinner: — The same choices as for lunch. Do not, however, have two meals exactly the same in the same day.
   
• Black coffee, organic green tea, Wu Long tea, organic Yerba Mate tea, and organic chamomile tea can be consumed in any quantity as often as you wish throughout the day. You should drink at least one cup Wu Long, one cup Yerba Mate tea, and one cup chamomile tea each day.
   
• No medicines or over-the-counter non-prescription drugs should be taken. (Done under supervision of a physician.)
   
• No cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil, and facial powder should be used.
   
• No creams, lotions, or moisturizers, or anything should be put on the skin.
   
• You must eat everything as described. Do not skip meals, and each meal must consist of the protein, the vegetables, and the fruit.
   
• You may eat the fruit in between meals instead of with the meal if you choose.

Day Four Through Day Forty-Five:

Follow the Day Three instructions every day for the entire course of treatment. In order to achieve permanent results you must continue the treatment exactly as described for a minimum of twenty-one days and a maximum of forty-five days.

Starting Treatment: 

Women should start the treatment immediately after their menses, or at least ten days before their next menses. During menstruation no injections are to be taken, but the diet is continued exactly as described. Injections are resumed immediately following the menses.

Duration: 

This phase must last for a minimum of twenty-one days, and a maximum of forty-five days. If you need to lose more weight after the forty-five days of treatment have been completed, you take six weeks off, eating normally with the exception of no sugar and no starch. You then resume Phase 2 for up to six weeks. If at that point you still need to lose more weight, you must take eight weeks off, eating normally with the exception of no sugar and no starch, and then resume Phase 2.

The Simeons "weight loss cure protocol," as you can see, consists of a daily injection of hCG, combined with a very strict and specific food consumption plan. The specific foods used cause chemical reactions in the body, combined with the hCG

The amount of food consumed is approximately 500 calories. The reason for the very low caloric intake is that the body will only release the abnormal fat reserves after it has burned the consumed calories. Interestingly enough, eating lower amounts of calories do not speed up the process. Eating smaller quantities of food actually stop the fat releasing mechanism.

Dr. Simeons discovered that by changing the food, the fat releasing process is also slowed or stopped. For example, when Simeons added mushrooms or artichokes, even though they had the same or less amounts of calories, the fat releasing was slowed or stopped completely. This is due to unique chemical compositions in the food.
 

It is of the utmost importance for this protocol to work, you must strictly follow the exact procedures to the letter.

The Last Injection Day Injection: 

On the day you receive the last hCG injection you must follow the diet program exactly. For the next two days you also must follow the diet exactly. This is because your body is flooded with hCG and it should take two days for it to leave the body.

During Phase 2 you should...

1. Weigh yourself every morning at approximately the same time. 
2. Keep a daily record of your weight. 
3. You should also take front, side, and rear photos of your stripped down body on the day you start Phase 2. 
4. Take measurements of the thighs, calves, hips, waist, chest, back, and arms.
5. Upon completion of Phase 2 take another series of photos and measurements.
   The before and after pictures combined with the weight and inch loss are a vital key to motivating you to continue with Phase 3 and Phase 4. This will also start reprogramming your mind with the belief and mental image of the body you desire. This is a very important component as it will counteract the programming we have self-imposed, as well as the food company advertising brainwashing we have endured over the years.

During this phase you should lose approximately one pound per day. This will vary from day-to-day. Hunger will vary for each individual. Hunger pains will last no more than 5 to 7 days. The majority of people have no hunger pains at all, even from the first day, or have mild hunger pains that last only one to three days.

The more you did in Phase 1, in many cases, determines how long the hunger pains last. If you have severe Candida overgrowth, a clogged colon, or have taken large amounts of non-prescription and prescription drugs over the years, your hunger pains may initially be higher and duration slightly longer.

The vast majority of patients, however, state that hunger pains are very mild or nonexistent. The major feeling that people deal with in the first few days of Phase 2 is a feeling of emptiness in their stomachs. This is quite different than hunger pains. Weighing yourself daily and seeing the spectacular results will keep your motivation high, allowing you to overcome any short-term hunger.

The most common question asked about the HCG Diet is...

If a person just did this low calorie diet without the hCG injections, wouldn't they still lose weight?

Every legitimate double-blind study shows that when people eat this diet without the hCG injections they do, in fact, lose weight. However, they do not lose the problem area secure fat deposits. Their body is not reshaped. They lose muscle and structural fat.

They have massive hunger and fatigue. When they stop the diet they immediately gain all the weight back, plus even more! Those who do the diet with the hCG injections lost more weight than the other group, had no hunger or fatigue, and lost fat in the problem areas. Their bodies were completely reshaped. They did not lose structural fat and muscle. Most importantly, when they stopped the diet and hCG injections, they did not gain the weight back!

If you read both Kevin Trudeau's and Dr. Simeons HCG Protocol, you'll notice that the 2 differ in a couple of areas - For instance, Kevin Trudeau recommends using a higher dose of the hCG Hormone during the diet.

But if you're under the care of a doctor, they should give you the proper dose. However if you are not - I would recommend that you start at a lower dose like Dr. Simeons suggests (125 IU). You can always increase it if needed.

Another thing to remember is Organic Food is always best. You'll find that it's recommended throughout the entire protocol. So if possible, you should always try to go Organic.

However, I do understand that sometimes the organic foods out there can get a bit expensive. But on the other hand, there are certain organic foods that cost less than the non-organic brands. So even if you don't think you can afford it, be sure to at least check it out. Who knows you might be surprised with what you find.
