About the HCG Diet

The HCG Diet, originally developed more than 50 years ago is a safe very low calorie diet that utilizes Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) to minimize hunger and target removal of abnormal fat deposits to contour the body into looking younger and more vital.

The use of HCG in the treatment of obesity was first discovered by the late British Physician, Dr. A. T. W. Simeons (READ Dr. SIMIENS ORIGINAL PROTOCOL) in 1954, while practicing in Rome, Italy. Simeons noticed several important factors including the lack of symptoms one would expect from a patient on a very low calorie diet, expressly, his patients had no headaches, hunger pains, weakness, or irritability as long as the low calorie diet was combined with HCG.

Our patients report losing 1-3 Pounds of JUST FAT Per Day!

Ingredient Substitutions

SHRIMP CEVICHE

1 to 2 lbs. shrimp, fresh or frozen, raw or cooked, peeled and deveined, tail-on or off
2 large lemons, freshly squeezed, about 3/4 cup to 1 cup
2-3 large limes, freshly squeezed, about 3/4 cup to 1 cup
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
1 cubanel or other mild to medium pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1-3 tablespoons Tabasco or hot sauce (more or less to taste)
4 large tomatoes, chopped (about 2-3 cups)
2 cumbers, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch pieces (about 1.5 cups)
fresh cilantro, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
fresh parsley, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Thaw shrimp if frozen. If using raw shrimp, bring a pot of water to boil and cook the shrimp for a minute or two until it turns opaque white and reddish—do not over cook the shrimp as it will be too rubbery in texture. Rinse shrimp under cold water. Combine juices of lemons and limes in a large bowl (not metal) or large Ziploc baggie and add shrimp. Cover bowl or zip baggie and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinade. Large shrimp could be cut into smaller chunks (remove tails if doing this) to speed up marinade time.

Add to shrimp the Tabasco, garlic, onion and pepper and toss/mix evenly. Return to refrigerator for maybe another 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse the shrimp.

Before serving, toss in bowl the marinated shrimp mixture, cilantro, parsley, tomatoes and cucumbers and if needed, add sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Great with melba toast or Wasa crispbread cracker.

Chicken Stir-fry

Slice chicken prior to cooking. Slice preferred vegetables; bell peppers, onions, green beans, cabbage, celery, etc. Stir fry in soy sauce- try braggs amino acids if you're also on ph balance diet! www.bragg.com

 

Lettuce wraps

Brown lean ground beef. Mix with (low fat, sugar free) fajita seasoning, sauté various bell peppers- red, green, yellow, and orange- with onion. Wrap in lettuce leaves and voila!

 

Herb OmeletTEs

(Double-check your ingredients according to your hCG diet protocol for this!) This recipe is kind of tricky and involves baking with Melba Toast in place of bread. If you're brave, give it a try!

1/4 cup(s) pepper(s), red, bell, diced
1/4 cup(s) scallion(s) (green onions), sliced
1 clove(s) garlic, minced

8 egg white(s)
3/4 cup(s) milk, fat-free evaporated
1 tablespoon basil, fresh, minced
1 tablespoon rosemary, fresh, minced
2 teaspoon chives, fresh, minced
1 tablespoon parsley, fresh, minced
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the pepper, and scallions for 6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 3 more minutes.

2. Place the toast slices in a large casserole dish. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour the egg mixture on top of the toast. Add the cooked vegetables. Bake for about 25-40 minutes until the omelet is slightly puffed and set.

Salsa FRESCA

Boil red tomatoes and one chili pepper. When tomatoes are soft, pull the skin off. Put the tomatoes and chili pepper in blender with plenty of water and lots of salt. Vary the flavor using any of the following- garlic, sugar, cilantro, onion, thyme, oregano.
There are literally hundreds of variations for this and every Mexican Salsa starts here! Can also add hamburger/sausage, parmesan, mushrooms, etc to make an Italian sauce!

Since 1975, the FDA has required labeling and advertising of HCG to state:

“HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.”

This does not mean its not safe, nor does it mean its not effective. What it means is that there are no double blind clinical studies that have been reported in peer reviewed clinical journals supporting the use of HCG as a dietary aid. You should talk to people who have done the diet and consult your physician.

NOTICE: ALL WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN PREGNANT & ALL MEN WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH PUBERTY HAVE HAD HCG IN THEIR BODY AT FAR HIGHER LEVELS THAN THOSE TAKING HCG AS PART OF THE HCG DIET.

Past side effects, although minor, were reported by patients taking HCG at 50-70 times the dosage prescribed for the HCG Diet (10,000 I.U.'s prescribed for increased ovulation vs 125-200 I.U.s prescribed for HCG Diet); we are not aware of any side effects reported from taking HCG for the diet. All past side effects from taking high dosage HCG were similar to symptoms that many women typically experience during pregnancy, such as delayed, shortened or prolonged menstual cycles or minor cramping.

These statements have NOT been reviewed by the FDA.
