The following information comes from the booklet that I received with my order from SimplyhCG.com. Booklet titled "Simply hCG Protocol & Recipe Guide":
"Dr. ATW Simeons discovered that hCG would enable dieters to subsist comfortably on a 500 calorie-per day diet. He claimed that hCG would burn stored fat, suppress appetite and redistribute fat from hard to lose places like waist, hips, and thighs. It would break down abnormal body fat and release it into your bloodstream, therefore losing inches as well as pounds. It is believe to reset your entire endocrine system which includes your metabolism and allows the weight to be kept off while protecting your body's good structural fat and keeping muscle tissue from depleting (like it would with just a 500 calorie diet without hCG). This is the reason so many people who successfully complete this protocol do not experience muscle loos or sagging skin. DO NOT attempt to observe this diet without hCG because your body will burn muscle, not the stored fat. Each day on hCG your body is believe to release 2,000 to 4,000 calories of stored fat a day, add that to the 500 calories that you are eating, most will feel very satisfied with this amount of calories and should not feel deprived.
The hCG diet must be done in a minimum of a 21 day program up to 42 days. The last 3 days of the program stop using the drops, but continue the diet for those 3 days. It will take the whole 3 days to get the hCG flushed out of your system so it is important you stick to the 500 calorie diet those last 3 days. Immediately follow with the Maintenance Phase for 3 weeks. According to Dr. Simeons's protocol the hCG diet can be repeated as many times necessary as long as you take the number of days off in between protocols that you were on the diet.
For example 3 weeks on = 3 weeks off, 6 weeks on = 6 weeks off (3 week maintenance phase is included as your part of weeks off). For lasting results 21 consecutive days is needed, if you reach your goal weight anytime after the 21 days, it is ok to stop.
If following Dr. Simeon's protocol precisely, one should see 1/2 pound to 1 pound of weight loss a day on average.
hCG works great for men as well, they tend to experience even greater and faster weight loss. The hCG dosage is the same for men and woman of all sizes."
Here is the 500 calorie diet:
Also from the booklet titled "Simply hCG Protocol & Recipe Guide"
"2 fruits: an apple, 6-9 strawberries, an orange, or 1/2 grapefruit
100 grams of lean meat per meal (2X a day):
(3.5 oz if weighed raw, 3.0 oz if cooked) veal, beef, chicken breast, turkey, white fish (tilapia, halibut, flounder, sole, wild Chilean sea bass), lobster, crab, or shrimp. All visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking. Make sure ground chicken, turkey, or beef is at least 93% lean. Weigh your meat raw. It must be broiled or grilled (George Foreman grill works wonderfully) without additional fat. It is better to not have the same meat twice in the same day. Do not have red meat in general twice in the same day either. Try using all organic foods when possible!
*3 egg whites & 1 egg with yolk can be substituted for a protein once or twice a week.
One type of Vegetable Per Meal (2X a day):
spinach, chard, chicory, beet-greens, lettuce (any type), tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, and cabbage.
*approximately 2-3 cups for leafy veggies; 2 cups for other allowed veggies (also refer to calorie counter page for more accurate measuring)
*if starving, up veggie intake
2 Grissino breadsticks or 2 melba toasts
Drinks: LOTS of water - 12 to 1 gallon per day. Green tea is also great to help with energy and even helps to burn more fat. (see fruity cold green tea recipe!) Tea (any kind) or coffee in any quantity without sugar. Only 1 tablespoon of milk is allowed in a 24 hour period. Stevia may be used.
The juice of one lemon is allowed for all purposes and recommended to alkalize the body. Sea Salt (include it in your diet everyday), pepper, vinegar, mustard, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, chives, cilantro, ect. may be used for seasoning, but NO oil, butter or dressing. Be sure to read all spice blends to be sure there is not any sugar or oil in the ingredients. Salsa/pico de gallo (with NO sugar) in moderation. Use organic foods when available.
Example Meal Plan:
breakfast- allowable fruit, coffee, tea, water
lunch- 100 grams of protein
melba toast
allowable vegetable
snack- one allowable fruit
one melba toast
dinner- 100 grams of protein (not the same kind you had for lunch)
one allowable vegetable
**No gums, mints, etc. allowed although most people lose quite successfully when violating this rule.
** Eat your meals slowly and give your body time to register that it is full. If you find yourself hungry, spread your food out through the day."
This booklet also has many more pages of information. But I found this to be useful, and also to let you all know how the diet works. There are many pages of recipes in this booklet too. Very helpful.
Also if interested this is an informative site about the history of the hCG diet and Dr. Simeons.
