    Dr. Stacias hCG Protocol

    Phase 1: Gorge

    Day One: Take two sublingual droppers first thing in the morning.

    o Fill dropper to where it naturally stops, about 1/4

    to 1/3 full. Hold liquid under your tongue for 30 seconds.

    o The dropper will only fill up 1/4 to 1/3 full. This is

    normal. DO NOT FORCE THE DROPPER TO

    FILL FURTHER THAN IT NATURALLY DOES.

    o Please note: 1 dropper does not equal 1 drop. It is the dropper, 1/4 to 1/3

    full.

    Take two droppers in the evening before your last meal, about 12 hours after yourfirst two.

    Drink at least two liters of water.

    Gorge yourself. Eat as much food as you can throughout the day, mostly foods

    high in fat. Add butter to your bread, cream cheese to a bagel, eat fast food,

    sweets, etc. Dont be afraid of the gorge, it is important to your long-term success.

    Day Two:

    Repeat Day 1

    Phase 2: Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD)

    Day Three:

    Weigh yourself immediately upon arising, after emptying the bladder, without

    clothes.

    evening, 12 hours later. Drink at least two liters of water.

    You may have 1 Tbsp of whole milk for the day.

    Phase 2 Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Can I take a multi-vitamin?

    A: You may take a multi-vitamin that contains no sugar, but it is not required becausehCG will cause your body to release sufficient nutrients.

    Q: What about my monthly cycle (women)?

    A: Start Phase 1 immediately after your cycle is complete.. If your cycle is at least 10

    days away, it is fine to begin as well. Be advised, some women may experience a heavier

    or lighter flow while taking hCG drops. If you experience abnormal cramps or abnormalflow, it may be good to stop taking hCG drops but continue the VLCD until your cycle is

    finished.

    Q: What is the shortest/longest period I can do Phase 2 for?

    A: This phase must last for a minimum of 23 days, and a maximum of 43 days. If you

    need to lose more weight after the forty-five days of treatment have been completed, you

    take six weeks off, eating normally with the exception of no sugar and no starch. Youthen resume Phase 2 for up to six weeks. If at that point you still need to lose more

    weight, you must take eight weeks off, eating normally with the exception of no sugar

    and no starch, and then resume Phase 2.

    Q: How much weight should I expect to lose?

    A: You should lose 1-2 pounds per day. Your weight loss will vary from day to day.

    Q: What if I plateau?

    A: If you dont lose weight for two days or more in a row, I suggest an apple day. Instead

    of following the Phase 2 Meal Plan, just eat 6 apples throughout the day. EAT NOTHING

    ELSE ALL DAY. Drink only water. This will break your plateau.

    Q: Will I be really hungry all the time?

    A: Hunger will vary for each individual. Hunger pangs will last no more than five to

    seven days. The majority of people have no hunger pangs at all.

    Q: What are the side effects?

    A: hCG itself has no common side effects. Many experience headaches during the first

    week. This is usually due to sugar withdrawal. Your body is adjusting to your new,

    healthier diet and this is normal.

    Q: Do I need to exercise?A: While on the Very Low Calorie Diet, strenuous exercise is not recommended becauseyou are not consuming enough calories. Walking is the best Phase 2 exercise, and more

    intense cardiovascular and resistance exercise can be resumed during Phase 3.

    9/34

    Q: Is it bad to over-do Phase 1 (the gorge phase)?

    A: No! A good gorge is a key to your success. It may seem strange, but trust the process.

    Once you start the VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) it takes a few days for the hCG to start

    moving your fat into your system. Meanwhile you are using the stored fat you just ate.Please eat a lot! This helps eliminate or reduce hunger and headaches.

    Q: How often will I have to use the bathroom?

    A: During the Very Low Calorie Diet, you will have less bowel movements because you

    are consuming less food. You will have to urinate more, however, because you will be

    drinking lots of fluids.

    Q: Should I continue to take my medication for high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.?

    A: Absolutely yes! Often, after being on the protocol for several weeks, people find that

    these conditions have improved or disappeared completely. However, WAIT FORVERIFICATION FROM YOUR PHYSICIAN before discontinuing any medication.

    Monitor your blood sugar (if diabetic) or blood pressure (hypertensive) closely. Contact

    your physician immediately your results are lower than normal.

    Most Common Errors During the 500 Calorie Phase

    1. Not enough fat during load days (first two days of HCG). This might explain hunger

    and associated crankiness during the first week of HCG low calorie phase. A good loadday sample follows:

    Breakfast: Cream cheese bagel with bacon and sausage, and a ham/cheeseomelet.

    Mid-morning snack: Donut with whipped cream with strawberries.

    Lunch: Pork chop, potato with sour cream, and a roll with butter and a

    buttered veggie.

    Mid-afternoon snack: Ice cream with Oreos.

    Dinner: Fettuccini, cheese garlic bread, and salad with full-fat dressing, of

    course, cheesecake for dessert. Late-night snack: Ice cream or frozen

    cappuccino.

    2. Mixing vegetables at a meal. While many people lose quite satisfactorily when mixing

    vegetables, it is a place to review if losing slows.

    3. No gum, mints, etc. allowed during the VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet phase). Again,some lose quite satisfactorily when violating this directive, but it is a place to review if

    losing slows.

    4. No diet drinks including Crystal Light, diet soda or other diet drinks only water,

    teas, coffees, and mineral water. Remember, you get one lemon to use each day.

    5. Eating too much beef. Replacing beef with chicken and allowed fish can speed weight

    loss.

    6. Weight of protein is to be based on PRECOOKED weight, not post cooking this canmake quite a difference in the prescribed serving with certain proteins.

    7. Eating the same protein for both lunch and dinner. Food selections are to be varied.

    8. Not drinking enough water you should be drinking at least 2 liters of allowableliquids per day.

    9. Try to weigh in the same clothes or something very similar in weight and around the

    same time each morning (before eating or drinking) in order to avoid confusion or false

    appearance of weight gain/loss.

    10. Avoid eating at restaurants because to a large degree the meats have been 'juiced' or

    manipulated to be more flavorful, tender or juicy with a multitude of processes that couldeasily slow your weight loss, particularly chicken.

    11. Using the wrong spices. Spices must be used with extreme caution. Check all theingredients for any unallowable foods, any form of sugar (brown, white, maltose,

    dextrose, etc.) starch (modified corn starch), and or any kind of oil, for example garlic

    salt can have sugar and modified corn starch. This is not acceptable.

    Phase 3

    Your Goal: To create a new set weight set point, a weight that our body automatically

    maintains. You want your body to reset to have your new, low weight, be your normalweight.

    Your Body's Goal: To recover the weight you lost. This is what most people are unawareof when they finish a diet. Without a method to create a new weight set point, most

    bodies successfully "recover" the lost weight. Phase 3 will enable you to prevent this.

    To ensure your goal wins over your bodys goal, you must perform the maintenance

    phase diligently.

    Eat no sugars and no starches, and weigh yourself every day. Eat what you want, when

    you want (preferably when you are hungry, and listen to your body for when you have

    had enough).

    The maintenance phase (also known as Phase 3) is the 3 week period after you finish

    your drops. There are a few simple rules you must follow: you must weigh yourself

    every day, you must remain within 2 pounds of your last Phase 2 weight (either above orbelow), and you cannot eat sugars and starches. It is extremely important to eat enough

    protein on this phase; many people eat at least 100 grams of true protein (about 400

    grams weighed raw). If you go over the 2 pounds, you must do a steak day:*Steak Day: Skip breakfast and lunch but drink plenty of water. In the evening eat a

    huge steak with only an apple or a raw tomato. We want to be clear that this 3-week

    period is crucial to the success of the diet.

    Keeping track of your weight is imperative during Phase 3. When traveling, bring a scalewith you. Weigh yourself first thing in the morning, after emptying your body as much as

    possible. This is when your weight will be the lowest.

    It takes about 3 weeks before the weight reached at the end of the treatment becomes

    stable, i.e. does not show violent fluctuations after an occasional excess. During thisperiod patients must realize that the so-called carbohydrates, that is sugar, rice, bread,

    potatoes, pastries etc, are by far the most dangerous. If no carbohydrates whatsoever are

    eaten, fats can be indulged in somewhat more liberally. As soon as fats and starch are

    combined things are very liable to get out of hand. This has to be observed very carefullyduring the first 3 weeks after the treatment is ended otherwise disappointments are almost

    sure to occur.

    One last item before we begin: The day that you give yourself your last sublingualdrops, you count 72 hours (continuing on the 500 VLCD for those 72 hours) from

    that moment and then you start the maintenance phase. That weight that you were themorning of your last sublingual drops is the weight that you use as a basis for your

    maintenance phase. Anything OVER two pounds from that weight calls for a steak day.

    NOTE: The time period to begin this phase is not 3 days after your last sublingual drops,

    11

  • 7/29/2019 Dr Stacias Hcg Diet Handbook

    12/34

    it is 72 hours! (For example, if you take your last drop on Monday at 8 am, you will

    begin the maintenance phase on Thursday at 8 am.)

    First thing, when beginning the 3 week maintenance phase, make sure to increase yourcalories to at least 1500. Don't try to continue the 500-calorie diet after the hCG is out of

    your system. Bear in mind, your weight will fluctuate the first week or two; this isnormal. Do a steak day if you need to. The weight will eventually stabilize. Watch thestarch and sugar religiously during the 3 weeks. Read labels. Eat organic food if possible.

    Eat whatever you want, without starch or sugar, during the maintenance phase. Make sure

    you are eating enough. Use healthy fats and dairy products to up your calorie intake ifnecessary. Drink enough water.

    Starchy vegetables to avoid:

    * Beets

    * Carrots

    * Corn* Parsnips

    * Peas* Plantains* Potatoes in all forms

    * Winter Squashes (particularly acorn and butternut)

    Eat Low Sugar Fruit

    Fruit, you'll find, is not particularly welcome on some low carb diets, as some depend

    more upon glycemic index or glycemic load (South Beach, Zone), while others just lookat total carbs (Atkins, Protein Power). Also, some diets (Atkins, South Beach) don't allow

    fruit at all in the first phase. In general, your best bet fruits are these, but do check carb

    counts, and watch your weight. Not everyone can have fruit in maintenance. These arearranged roughly by sugar content, taking volume and weight into account. This is not an

    exhaustive list.

    Good news: the fruits lowest in sugar are some of the highest in nutritional value,

    including antioxidants and other phytonutrients.

    Fruits lowest in sugar:

    * Rhubarb

    * Strawberries

    * Cranberries* Raspberries

    * Blackberries

    * Blueberries* Grapefruit

    * Melons

    * Apricots* Plums

    * Peaches

    * Pears

    * Guava* Cherries

    * Apples

    * Papaya

    13

    allowed in Phase 2):

    * Grapes

    * Tangerine* Oranges

    * Pineapple* Kiwi* Bananas

    * Dried Fruit

    * Mango

    Other foods to avoid:

    Avoiding sugar means this: avoid cookies, cake, pie, candy, cupcakes, frosting, soft

    drinks, corn syrup, kool-aid, processed food, energy drinks, fruit juice, honey, yogurt,donuts, cookies, pudding, maple syrup, brownies, canned fruit in heavy syrup, ice cream,

    cool whip, boxed breakfast cereals, breakfast bars, granola - nothing with sugar. READ

    it. Nearly every product in a can or box contains sugar in one of its many names. The first

    five ingredients listed on an item is the majority of the product, so be sure that sugar is

    not in the top five.

    Avoiding starch means avoid cornstarch, white flour, wheat flour, any flour, pasta, any

    bread or bread product, breadsticks, bagels, hamburger and hotdog buns, crackers,tortillas, oatmeal, rice, polenta, peas, corn, lentils, pita bread, pretzels, corn chips, potatochips, yams, potatoes, pancakes, muffins, nearly all root vegetables, any breading on fish,

    chicken, or other protein., beans, grains, acorn squash, butternut squash, cereals, granola,

    cereal bars, popcorn, biscuits, corn bread, taco shells, croutons, rice cakes, Cream ofWheat, corn meal, and some nuts.

    Most restaurants and fast food places add sugar to nearly every product, so be wary of

    eating out all the time. Other meats to watch out include deli meats, bacon, ham,prosciutto, sausage, and hotdogs.

    Do not eat processed cheese (i.e. Velveeta), it contains unnecessary sugars and starches.Try not to eat processed anything for that matter.

    How to Reintroduce Foods

    Keep in mind; you have been on a 500 calorie diet for weeks now. Do NOT go ballistic

    and start eating 2500 calories on the 1st day after your VLCD. Sneak up to it. Here is

    what I mean.

    First, find out your calorie limit: For women, it will be 11 times your weight (in pounds),for men, 12 times your current weight.

    Example: For a woman whose current weight is 150 lbs, multiplied times 11 is 1650

    calories a day.

    Example; for a man whose current weight is 200, multiplied times 12 is 2400 calories a

    day.

    Week 1: Work your way up to about 800-1000 calories a day. Remember no sugar,starches and low carbohydrates. Yes, you can eat fats during this time, but don't overdo

    it. * I like to stop my fruits and bread sticks for the first week.* Have cream in your coffee or tea if you like. Continue to drink lots of water.

    * I add Salmon, Trout, Shrimp scampi. Use butter, oil or cooking spray in your frying

    pan.* I like to add a small breakfast like an egg or 2. Make a 2 egg omelet and load it up!

    * Change the Protein to about 6-8 oz per meal. So for Lunch have some protein and a

    small salad with real dressing and some veggies of your choice. And get this; your saladcan be a mixture of all your favorite things that you want in the salad, just no sugars, and

    15

  • 7/29/2019 Dr Stacias Hcg Diet Handbook

    16/34

    starches.

    * Dinner is about the same as Lunch. Protein, salad and veggies.

    * Try to eat a little at each meal and try to get in a mid morning and mid afternoon

    snack.

    Week 2: Increase your daily calorie count to about 1200-1500 calories per day. Do thisby adding in more veggies. Maybe some soups, cheese, peanut butter, nuts and other lowcarbohydrate type foods.

    Week 3: Work your way up to your total calorie limit. You should be eating 5 or 6 littlemeals a day; Breakfast, mid morning snack, Lunch, Mid-afternoon snack and Dinner.

    You might get away with a light dinner snack.

    Weight yourself every day and do not allow for more than a 2 pound gain. If there is, doa steak day! See above for an explanation of how to do a steak day.

    Now, to add in the starches and sugars, the dreaded carbohydrates.

    Sugars and Starches (the carbohydrates) are the danger zone! Reintroduce these too fast,

    and you may have a weight gain.

    So to avoid that, this is what we have learned. ADD them SLOWLY!

    Week 4: Add in the one carbohydrate food that you missed the most. Eat bread, pasta,potato or whatever, but just one. Then, the next day, stop that one and add another one.

    Do not eat two carb foods in the same day during week 4. Only eat one carb food per

    meal. Just change your carbohydrate from day to day.

    Week 5: Combine 2 carb foods in the same day, but not at the same meal. Bread for a

    sandwich for lunch and a potato for dinner or whatever.

    Week 6: Start combining the carbs during the same meal, but do this 1 day at a time.

    By the end of week 6, you should be eating a good, healthy, well rounded, high fiber,

    lower fat, diet within your calorie limit without worrying about gaining weight any

    longer!

    One last thought:

    Avoid over-eating; (stay within your calorie limit), avoid eating both a high fat and high
