Key to the success of the diet is the 500
calorie per day diet developed by Dr. Simeon to accompany the HCG
regimen.
Here is the 500 Calorie Diet:
FIRST TWO DAYS ARE GORGE DAYS. EAT ALL THE FAT YOU POSSIBLY CAN!!
HAVE FUN, THEN ON THE THIRD DAY START THE 500 CALORIE DIET BELOW.
Breakfast: Water, tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar. Only
one tablespoon of milk is allowed in 24 hours. Saccharin or Stevia
may be used.
Lunch: 100 grams of veal, beef, chicken breast, fresh white fish,
lobster, crab or shrimp. All visible fat must be carefully removed
before cooking, and the meat must be weighed raw. It must be boiled
or grilled without additional fat. Salmon, eel, tuna, herring, dried
or pickled fish are not allowed. The chicken breast must be removed
from the bird.
One type of vegetable only to be chosen from the following: spinach,
chard, tomatoes, chicory, beet-greens, celery, cucumbers, onions,
fennel, cabbage, red radishes, or asparagus.
One breadstick (grissini) Alessi brand or one Melba toast.
An apple or a handful of strawberries or one-half grapefruit.
Dinner: The same four choices as lunch, nut not the same choices at
both meals.
The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes. Salt,
pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley,
thyme, marjoram, etc. may be used for seasoning, but no oil, butter
or dressing.
Tea, coffee, plain water, or mineral water are the only drinks
allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times. No
carbonated water products or drinks of any kind.
In fact, you should drink about 2 liters of these fluids per day.
Many people are afraid to drink so much because they fear that this
may make them retain more water. This is a wrong notion. The body is
more inclined to store water when the intake falls below its normal
requirements.
The fruit or breadstick or Melba toast may be eaten between meals
instead of with lunch or dinner, but not more than four items listed
for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal.
No body oils or lotions may be used. Your skin is the largest organ
of your body, and the fats that directly touch your skin are
metabolized the same as if you had eaten them. Mineral makeups are
best when on the diet protocol, as they contain almost no oil, and
they come from only natural ingredients. The doctor who designed
this diet over 50 years ago would not allow his patients to wear
makeup of any kind. (Keep in mind most of his patients went to his
clinic in Europe and "disappeared" for 43 days at a time, so I think
it was easier to keep people from wearing makeup when they are
literally out of sight.) I know this is almost impossible for most
of us. I use mineral makeup and an oil-free spray lotion as the
basis for my makeup. (I have rosacea, so I also have to use a small
amount of prescription lotion on the areas where the rosacea breaks
out.)
That's the diet. If you buy Kevin Trudeau's book, "The Weight Loss
Cure", he stresses the detox end of the diet very strongly. He
suggests I think it's twice weekly colonics, and going totally
organic. He also only talks about the HCG in injection form and not
sublingual. He scared me on the diet when I first read his book. You
would have to be rich and have tons of free time to do the diet the
way he presents it. Our diet is designed to be something that
"everyone" can do.
You can buy Kevin Trudeau's book, but it's not necessary. I have
given you the basics of how the diet works.
I suggest you buy a kitchen scale that weighs in the metric system,
to measure things in grams. I actually use a postage scale from
Office Depot that has ounces and grams. It works just great. It cost
around $30. I also suggest a digital bathroom scale for weighing
yourself each morning before you have anything to eat or drink. (I
always use the restroom before getting on the scale. Not everyone
knows to do this, so I just wanted to state it.)
If you are already in an exercise program, you may continue it.
However, if you are not in a regular exercise don't start one to go
on this diet. This HCG hormone will actually elongate your muscles,
as if you were doing pilates. A natural liposuction occurs within
the body. Areas where no fat is supposed to be are burned up or
redirected to some areas that actually need fat for structural or
normal fat. Dr. Simeons talks about a woman who came to him. From
the waist up she was in an anorexic state, and from the waist down
she was obese. She had tried starvation diet, after starvation diet,
to try to lose the weight. However with each diet, she would only
lose from the waist up, and never from below the waist. Dr. Simeons
put her on his 40 day protocol. At the end of the 40 days, she
weighed the exact same amount, only the fat was now evenly
distributed throughout her body. She lost weight where she needed to
lose weight, and she "filled" out the places that were nothing but
skin and bone. |
