HCG Diet Protocol

To start the HCG diet, there are protocols need to be followed. This HCG Diet Protocol is designed by Dr. Simeons, himself and can be found in the book “Pounds and Inches.” This is not the complete protocol, rather than a brief summary of the HCG Diet Protocol.

History Taking

A patient is weighed and measured first; its height, age, skeletal and muscular builds. Then it is calculated to its degree of overweight, and from this can be asses the duration of the treatment and the average loss of weight, example 300-400 grams-per injection of HCG.

 

The Duration of Treatment

Losing from minimum to a maximum of 15 pounds requires 26 days of treatment with 23 daily injections.  After which, the next 3 days they still continue their 500 calorie diet. The patient is now free to eat anything except sugar and starches for the next three weeks. As soon as their target weight is reached, they can now consume 800-100 calories for the rest of the treatment.

Losing more than 15 pounds to the maximum of 34 pounds requires 40 injections. Regardless of the weight loss, the treatment need to be stopped either when the 34 pounds is lost or the 40 injections has been given.

For patients requiring to loss more than 34 pounds, a second course is offered but should be started only after 6 weeks interval.

 

Menstruation

Exception to the days of injecting is during menstruations. The diet still continues and resumes after the menstruation. For starting, the advisable days before treatment should be 10 days later.
