Phase 1 HCG | The most fun you'll ever have on a diet

The HCG Diet Days 1 & 2

Phase 1 HCG only lasts for two days, but for it's two days of absolute indulgence. You can eat anything and everything you want. Go to your favorite restaurants. Eat an entire box of chocolate candy. Devour double cheeseburgers. Pizza. Doughnuts. Ice cream. Real soda (not the diet stuff). Believe it or not, the more fat, sugar and carbs you eat, the better. Those extra calories will help build up reserves that your body will use to combat any hunger and fatigue during the first few days of Phase 2 HCG.

Even though you're able to eat whatever you want on the first two days of the HCG Diet, don't forget to start your HCG drop regimen.

 

Phase 2 HCG | The very low calorie diet (vlcd)

The HCG Diet Days 3-21

Phase HCG starts on Day 3. After two days of a "see food" diet your total caloric intake shifts to 500 calories each day (not each meal). You During the entire Phase 2 HCG, continue your daily HCG drop regiment and follow this eating plan. And remember, you can do anything for 21 days, so don't cheat--not even a little bit, because if you do you'll stall for three days

Be sure you are reading labels closely when cooking.  You should not eat any oils, butters, sugars, or carbs.  If it isn't on this list, don't eat it.  The only sweetener allowed is stevia (the brand name, Truvia, can be found at most stores).  Please note that Dr. Simeons' original HCG Diet protocol discouraged the use of lotions and cosmetics.  The reasoning behind this is that anything you put on your skin is absorbed into your system.  Dr Simeons suggested using all natural shampoo, conditioner, tooth paste etc.  Be strict!  You will see results.  It is only 21 days....you can do it. 

So now you have lost a significant amount of weight and are very pleased with your self.  Time to move to Phase 3.

Phase 3 HCG | Food freedom with a few restrictions

Days 22-42

Phase 3 HCG is just as important as Phase 2 HCG, so be sure to stay on track.  
 
Phase 3 HCG is what keeps the weight off. On days 22 and 23, you should stick to the 500 calorie meal plan that you followed during phase 2 but stop taking your HCG drops.  On day 24 (or when your body is telling you it is starving) you move to a more "real life" diet.  Your total calorie intake should now fall between 1200 to 1500 calories a day.  You are now allowed to eat any food you want EXCEPT anything with carbs or sugars. So cheese and milk are ok but make sure you are still checking labels. 
 
You may be surprised by the carbs and sugars found in some items. The best way to describe your eating habits in phase 3 is "clean eating".  Stay away from processed foods and stick to fruits, vegetables and protein.  Another perk to phase 3 is that you can now use butter and oil to cook with.  A key factor in phase 3 is weighing yourself EVERYDAY!  Getting on the scale should not be scary (or as scary as it was 3 weeks ago) so weigh in every morning.  This allows you to closely monitor how your body (ie: weight) is being affected by the new foods you are eating.  
 
If you notice some slight weight gain, re-examine what you are eating or how many calories you are consuming.  Your weight should not climb more than 2 pounds over what it was on day 21.  If it does, don't worry, we have a solution for that....a steak day!!

Steak Day: Do not eat anything all day long but be sure to drink plenty of water.  For dinner, eat the biggest steak you possibly can and a tomato.   The following day, your weight should have dropped 1-2 pounds.  Continue on with phase 3. (this is also a helpful tactic throughout life)

In addition to some food freedom, you can now begin exercise.  It is up to you how much and how often but we do recommend getting that new body moving just a bit.  It will feel great!!


Phase 4 HCG | Life . . . You no longer have to say, "I'm on a diet"

You have worked so hard and are feeling pretty darn good about yourself (and you should be!), now it's time to make sure that weight never comes back.  I think it is safe to say that eating smart didn't get you to the point you were at when you started this journey.  So, continue eating smart and making good choices about what you put in your body.  We suggest slowly adding carbs and sugars back into your diet while monitoring your weight.  You will see what carbs and sugars your body doesn't handle well by fluctuations in your weight.  We know it isn't realistic to say that you are never going to eat a cheeseburger again or drink some cocktails.  With that in mind, think moderation.  A large majority of what you eat should be "clean" (not processed) and low carb, low sugar.  On the other hand, don't deny yourself a brownie once in  a while.  Once again, weighing yourself daily is a huge key to success.  You didn't gain those extra 40 pounds in a couple weeks and they won't come back in a couple weeks.  You never want to be shocked at what the scale says.  Not only is clean eating a great way to keep the weight off but it is a healthy example for your family as well.  Change your thinking about food..don't live to eat, eat to live.
