RAPID LOSS REVOLUTION

THE

RAPID LOSS REVOLUTION1

Hi there, and welcome! Congratula�ons on taking the first step and choosing YOU! We would like to introduce you to a new way of thinking about food and how to shed those extra kilograms and keep it off for good.

There is no quick fix for any of life’s challenges, especially weight management. Keep in mind; we are not presen�ng another diet. This is a scien�fic approach to weight management that has helped thousands of people locally and interna�onally. A new way of thinking requires knowledge, understanding and prac�ce. It is our complete joy to present to you the Diet doctor Rapid loss revolu�on!

The key ingredient in our formula�ons is called HCG also known as Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. This is a naturally occurring hormone and it encourages your body to metabolise abnormal fat through the kidneys 4 �mes faster than with normal die�ng alone. It supports the hypothalamus to reset your whole system, encouraging a normal appe�te and thus fostering healthy ea�ng habits. It has been safely used for decades in the area of weight management on men, women and children who have reached puberty.

If you have always had di翿�culty losing weight in the past and found that no ma�er how much you exercised or dieted you simply could not shed the weight, then this protocol will transform your life!

I wish you all the success in the world as you begin this amazing journey of transforma�on. I am sure that you will have as much success as I have experienced as you go through this process and meet your weight loss goals.

Mark this day in your Diary. Your life is about to change!

Lep�n is a substance produced by fa�y �ssue that gives feedback to the brain concerning your “fat status”. If Lep�n levels are high and the brain is sensi�ve to Lep�n, then the body gets the message that the fat stores are full and that we should stop ea�ng. It also signals to the body to increase Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) i.e. it puts the body in “burn” mode. Many of us are Lep�n resistant and also

insulin resistant. This means that we are in “store” mode and tend to gain weight rather than lose, regardless of what we eat. The prepara�on that you are taking boosts the body’s sensi�vity to both Lep�n and Insulin, helping to increase BMR, burn fat and increase sa�ety. In short, one will lose weight up to 4 �mes faster by using this daily.

• Electronic kitchen scale• Digital Bathroom scale• Measuring tape• Spray & Cook and Coconut Oil• Sweetener• Food from the allowed food lists• Protein Shake (Op�onal)• Mul�vitamin – B12 and potassium are vital. Make sure the B6 content is no more

than 30mgs per day as this may trigger hunger. No vitamins containing oil may be used. Do not take your mul�vitamin on an empty stomach as this will cause nausea. We recommend The Diet doctor immune boos�ng mul�vitamin with added moringa to boost your metabolism.

HOW IT WORKS

BEFORE YOU START

You should be on protocol for a minimum of 23 days in order to reset the hypo-thalamus gland. You may stay on the protocol uninterruptedly for up to 6 months. You then take a 2-4 week break and follow the stabilisa�on phase before restar�ng. Once your goal has been reached, you will con�nue on the protocol

for 3 days without the product. A�er the 3 days, you will start the stabilisa�on phase. This is just as important as the actual diet as it will ensure that you don’t pick up weight again. During the stabilisa�on phase you will slowly reintroduce banned foods back into your diet and work up to a normal calorie range.

• Please ensure that you s�ck to the ea�ng plan & the por�ons indicated.• You may eat 3 por�ons of fruit per day. One must be an apple.• There is a restric�on on the amounts of protein you may consume but you

can have unlimited amounts of vegetables/salad & you must have all 3 protein por�ons per day.

• Red meat limited to a maximum of twice per week.• If it’s not on the allowed list, you may not have it.• Snacks are op�onal and can be incorporated into meals.• For dessert you may also have zero calorie jelly in unlimited amounts. Combine it

with your fruit por�ons for delicious fruit salad and jelly to curb that sweet tooth.• One should eat regularly to lose weight. Skipping meals is considered chea�ng.• It is vital to take a before picture and to measure yourself, this will mo�vate you.• Two main meals per day may be replaced by a protein shake. We recommend a

weight control protein shake, which you can purchase directly from us. However, any protein shake may be used if it has between 150-200 calories per serving and can be mixed with water.

• Leave more than 4 hours between main meals (snacks not included), with no meals a�er 8 pm.

• No fat, oil, coconut milk, almond milk, regular milk or alcohol for the dura�on of the diet (not even low fat or no fat milk as it spikes your insulin levels).

• Spray and cook, Coconut Oil and sweetener may be used.• Should you struggle with your appe�te you simply increase your dosage. We also

stock an appe�te suppressant, should you feel it is necessary.• We recommend using A. Vogel – St. John’s Tissue Oil combined with Bio Oil whilst

on the protocol as it can help skin remain supple & retain its elas�city which allows the skin to stretch or �ghten naturally & prevents stretch marks. It can also be used daily on the face & body especially a�er bathing or swimming. Excellent for damaged hair & cracked heels. The ingredients found in this �ssue oil also gives one a sense of euphoria which can help you s�ck to the protocol. You can purchase this product from various health stores or online.

• Exercise is recommended but not a necessity. 20 minutes, 3 �mes a week is all you need.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

USING YOUR INJECTIONS

STEP 1: Wash your hands with soap and water and prepare a work area. You can go the extra mile by also disinfec�ng your work area. Pop off the cap from the HCG vial and wipe with an alcohol swab. Pick up the sterile water and wipe with the

alcohol swab. STEP 2: Use the mixing syringe and needle provided to draw up 2ml’s of the sterile water out of the vial. Any le�over water can be discarded. Please note your mixed solu�on will not be a full bo�le. Do not

Start with 6 units. If you inject 6 units per day the vial will last you 30-33 days. (The first 6 li�le stripes on a 0.5ml insulin syringe – each line equals 1 unit) If you remain hungry you may increase the amount that you inject with 1unit at a �me. Never inject more than 10 units per day.

6units = 130 iu 7units = 135 iu8units = 140 iu9units= 145 iu10units = 150 iu

• For both new bo�les and used bo�les, clean the rubber stopper with an alcohol pad.

• Remove the cap from the needle.• Pull back the plunger on the syringe to

draw in enough air to equal your HCG dose.

• Push the needle into the bo�le top and inject the air into the bo�le. When you inject air into the vial, this increases the air pressure inside the vial. This makes the right amount of HCG easier to draw out of the vial through the needle.

• With the needle in the bo�le, turn the bo�le and syringe upside down. Pull the plunger to fill the syringe past

your dose of HCG.• Push slowly on the plunger to the line

of your correct dose of HCG.• Check for air bubbles. If you see any

bubbles, tap the syringe with your finger to make them rise to the top. Then pull the plunger past your dose again and slowly push in the plunger un�l all bubbles are gone. Repeat this if needed to get rid of air bubbles. Tiny air bubbles are not dangerous, but they will decrease the amount of HCG in the syringe.

• Remove the needle from the bo�le and carefully lay the syringe down so that the needle does not touch anything.

HOW DO I DRAW UP THE HCG INTO A SYRINGE?

stress about this. STEP3: Gently squirt water into the HCG vial. When finished roll vial around so all the powder dissolves. DO NOT SHAKE. A�er you have mixed your solu�on, store

the vial in your refrigerator. Some people have used foil to protect it from light as well. A�er mixing, it is good for 30-35 days. Do not mix more than you will use for a month.

Make sure you have all the items: insulin syringe, HCG, alcohol swab, etc. Wash your hands with warm, soapy water & dry with clean towel. Select a site for the injec�on and wipe with the alcohol swab & wait to dry.

The needle is so small that it just penetrates the skin and enters your fat and is not long enough to reach the muscle. This is called a subcutaneous injec�on.

There are several areas that you can inject yourself: • The Abdomen (the best)• Bu�ocks• Front and sides of both thighs• Hip areas (but not near the bone)• Outer upper arms (2nd best) • DO NOT Inject near bony places or joints.

• Choose your injec�on site. • Wipe with alcohol swab.• Pinch the skin and fat �ssue between your thumb and first finger. • Touch the needle to the skin, holding the syringe at a 90-degree angle. Push the

needle all the way into the skin. If the needle is not in far enough, the HCG may not be injected into the fa�y layer.

• Let go of the pinched �ssue before injec�ng the HCG or you will be squeezing the HCG out at the same �me you are trying to inject it.

• Press the plunger using a slow and steady push. • Count slowly to five before removing the needle. This will help prevent HCG from

leaking out of the injec�on site. • Pull out the needle and place a finger or alcohol pad over the site. Hold for a few

seconds and then rub the site gently to close the needle track. Some�mes there is a small amount of bleeding a�er the injec�on. This does not cause a problem except for the possible loss of HCG with the blood and it may leave a �ny bruise.

• Close cap and throw away used needles and syringes safely in a hard container that the needles cannot s�ck through.

• Inject HCG at room temperature.• Remove all air bubbles from the syringe before the injec�on.• If skin was cleaned with alcohol, wait un�l it has dried before injec�ng.• Avoid changing the direc�on of the needle during inser�on or removal.

HOW TO USE THE DROPS

• Add 7-10 drops 3x �mes daily to 5ml’s of water and keep in mouth before swallowing.• Don’t drink or eat anything for 15-30 minutes before or a�er taking the drops.• Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Do not refrigerate.

It is important to check that, if you are having dried herbs and spices, that there is no starch or sugar added. Many manufacturers add modified starch, crushed cereal, corn flour, bread crumbs or some other starch agent – these will interfere with your results

Also watch out for preserva�ves and addi�ves like MSG

Cinnamon – Helps regulate the menstrual cycle and checks flooding during menopause. It has a tranquilizing effect that helps reduce anxiety and stress. Early research suggests that cinnamon may help improve both glucose and cholesterol levels in the blood, a finding that may prove especially important for diabe�cs. In a study, type 2 diabe�cs who consumed as li�le as a gram of cinnamon per day experience an improvement in their blood glucose levels a�er 40 days.

SOUPS (1 x sachet with ONE of the meals)

• Knorr or Royco Soup Lite (Weighless) in various flavours• (Beef & Veg, Chicken & Herb, Golden Veg & Mushroom)

DRINKS

NOTE: Make sure that you are drinking enough water during the protocol. Your body is likely detoxifying during this process and you are metabolizing fat at such a rapid rate that you need to flush these toxins and waste materials out. Drink plenty of water as well as the recommended teas to obtain the best results & maximize your success

TAP OR MINERAL WATER (NOT SWEETENED) & COLD DRINKS:

• 2 – 4 Litres of water every day (Not more than 4 and not less than 2)• By choice: You may also have a maximum of 4 cans of DIET Fizzy drinks per day e.g.• TAB, Soda Water, Sprite Zero (limita�on of Schweppes Lemon Lite – only 1 can of 340ml

per day)

NO ALCOHOL

• In the original HCG diet protocol by Dr. Simeons, it does not men�on or account for alcohol. It has found that some HCG users who have been drinkers or even those that are borderline alcoholic, do surprisingly well on the HCG diet.

If the simple instruc�ons are followed correctly, the HCG diet will get them out of their drinking rou�ne. These users have even said that they don’t even feel the need to drink while on the HCG diet because HCG works with the hypothalamus gland, which controls the emo�onal ea�ng/drinking part of the brain, along with other aspects.

COFFEE, TEA AND SWEETNERS

Unlimited amount of coffee & tea but no milk or sugar – sweeteners may be used

PH

AS

COFFEE• Only use 100% pure coffee (e.g., Ciro, Jacobs, Nescafe, Filter coffee) • Not allowed: chicory blends like Ricoffee/Frisco• If the intake exceeds 8 cups a day, use de-caffeinated coffee (We recommend Jacobs Night

and Day decaffeinated coffee)• For every cup of coffee(caffeinated) drink an extra 250ml of water (as coffee dehydrates you)

TEA• Any brands, but no flavoured or fruit teas that contain sugar

(e.g. Berry tea or Lemon & Honey)• All pure Herbal Teas are allowed (i.e. Jasmine, Chamomile, Rooibos, Green Tea etc)• You may cut a slice of lemon to put in your tea• Herbal detoxifying teas are a great choice if you want to naturally cleanse the body of

impuri�es.• Detoxifying teas generally act as both a diure�c and a laxa�ve. It is suggested that you

supplement your herbal tea with plenty of water to help flush the toxins out of the body.

FLAVOURED SWEETENERS - Suki range: Plain sweetener, Brown sweetener, French Vanilla flavouring, Caramel and Hazelnut. These are also allowed for cooking/baking, available from Dischem.

VITAMINS

It is important to take a good mul�-vitamin supplement while on the ea�ng plan. Specifica�ons:B6 must be under 30mg for the day, as it can trigger hunger. Ensure a su翿�cient content of Calcium, Magnesium, Iron and Zinc and ideally Chromium. Potassium is also good especially if you experience leg cramps.

OTHER

• You are allowed sugar free gum• Sugar Free/10 Calorie Jelly can be used• Two main meals per day may be replaced by a protein shake. We recommend a weight

control protein shake which you can purchase directly from us. However, any protein shake may be used as long as it has between 150-200 calories per serving and can be mixed with water.

SOME IDEAS FOR FOOD PREPARATION

• Use TAB or Diet Sprite to cook food in: e.g. Sweet & Sour Chicken S�r-fry with vegetables using TAB, vinegar, Herbs and Garlic

• Food can be steamed, grilled, s�r-fried, boiled or fried in Spray & Cook/Coconut Oil• A non-s�ck frying pan is a useful tool• Use the Provitas/Cracker Bread to make crumbed chicken or add crunch to a salad or your

yoghurt• Use Fruit (e.g. Lemon) from your allowance to give the food some extra flavour• Add sweeteners to add taste to meals and to sweeten yoghurt• A salad dressing can be made-up by combining Vinegar, Herbs, Garlic, Water and Sweeteners• You can make up soups, curries and stews by combining your condiments, herbs and water• We have also Partnered with plated convenience for prepacked meals delivered to your

doorstep.

GOLDEN RULESEAT VERY SLOWLY:By ea�ng slowly, you give your body the opportunity to absorb food into the bloodstream and reach the sa�a�on centre quicker to sa�sfy sooner. Therefore, you must frequently put down your cutlery or food whilst ea�ng and don’t con�nue before your mouth is completely empty. It is specially important to chew the food thoroughly.

BE RELAXED:Never eat when you are agitated or bored. Never do anything else while ea�ng, e.g. reading, watching television.

CONTROL OVER HUNGER OR CRAVINGS:If you feel hungry or peckish; immediately go for a walk, read or think of something you like. Make sure you distract yourself to not fall back into old habits. It takes prac�ce but is worth the trouble. Beat emo�onal ea�ng and cravings with our amazing weight loss program.

AVOID TEMPTATION:It would be be�er to stay away from occasions where your willpower will be tested. This is par�cularly the case during the first or ini�al diet. Business lunches are o�en an excuse for uncontrolled desires. If you are a�ending an event or braai, make sure you prep your own food or eat in advance.

PLATES AND CUTLERY:Smaller plates and cutlery create the illusion of there being more food – you’re only human a�er all. You can also make use of a blue plate as this is was found during weight loss to act as an appe�te suppressant.

AVOID ‘BORING” FOOD:Change the prepara�on and appearance of food and try to concentrate on the taste and the smell of the food. Beware of monotony. Make use of the VIP Slimming Lounge for inspira�on and to prepare meals for the en�re family.

WEIGHING IN:You don’t always lose fat at the same rate, if the bathroom scale doesn’t show it, you may get discouraged. On the other hand, when the scale reading goes down, you may like to celebrate the quick loss of weight. Get into the habit of not stepping on the scale daily if this gets you down. Rather collage before and during pictures together to see your physical change along with monitoring your cen�metres. Regular weekly check ins are more reliable and accurate.

MEDICATION DURING SLIMMING:Most liquid medicine contains sugar and/or alcohol. Both delay loss of weight. You may use any medicine that does not contain these or if prescribed by your doctor note that you might experience weight loss stalls.

FOOD RULE OF THUMB:If it is not on the list, you can’t have it! However always feel free TO CONTACT US if you come across a miracle item that is similar TO allowed items and we could inves�gate this. Not ea�ng is chea�ng, make sure you have all your meals. If not possible, make sure you use a meal replacement shake.

DEHYDRATED:Drinking water is Non-Nego�able ON this journey to your GOAL WEIGHT.• 75% of all people are chronically dehydrated and mistake this for hunger• Even mild dehydra�on slows down the metabolism with as much as 3%• A glass of water can shut down late night hunger pangs 100%• Lack of water is the number 1 trigger of day�me fa�gue• A mere 2% of drop in body water can have a nega�ve impact on short term

memory and focus• Drink a minimum of 2lt of water per day

WHAT TO EXPECTIS IT NORMAL TO GET A HEADACHE DURING THE FIRST WEEK?Some people may experience light headaches during the first week, this is because your body is releasing fat cells very rapidly and you will be going through a major detoxifica�on. You may take an Aspirin – as long as it’s not sugar coated.

DOES THE WEIGHT LOSS SLOW DOWN AFTER THE FIRST TWO WEEKS?Many �mes, there is a large amount of weight loss in the first week, then a plateau or levelling of weight loss. This does not mean that your weight loss has stopped. Typically, cen�metres are being lost con�nuously while on the program. A�er a period of �me, pa�ents

will experience a large drop on the scale. Weight loss is thus achieved in this fair-step fashion

NORMAL SLOWDOWNS AND PLATEAUS:• In the last 10 days, it’s normal for

weight loss to take a 2 or 3 day pause. Don’t let that stop your plan.

• In the second half of the program you can develop a 4-6 day plateau. It always corrects itself and you should not get unnecessarily worried or begin to fret as it does not mean that you no longer respond normally to treatment. 3 different approaches can reverse it – Do a steak or apple

day. Another alterna�ve is to take a prescrip�ve diure�c to get the process moving. Only try these op�ons a�er 4 days of sta�onery weight.

• The 10-14 day Plateau is much rarer and is seen in people who have been very overweight for a long �me. It is even rarer to see during the first course of HCG treatment. It may take two weeks of no loss, in spite of HCG and diet, before further reduc�on is normally resumed.

• Dietary Errors are the inevitable causes of slowdowns.

WHY HAS MY WEIGHT LOSS STOPPED?• Drink more water; add a glass of

green tea.• Cut out Beef – too much fat• Are you ea�ng lunch meats with fat?• Check condiments for sugar• Check for addi�ves to chicken or beef• If you are mixing vegetables, stop for

a day or two• Any new medica�ons?• Maybe drop one of the fruits• Try the Apple Day or Steak day (see

below)• Try a li�le bit of exercise• Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider

vinegar diluted in water

Also check whether you might not be cons�pated? If having cons�pa�on problems, try a laxa�ve tea. This is usually highly effec�ve or a fibre supplement.

It is not uncommon on this diet to have

a bowel movement once every 3-4 days, if provided you are consuming plenty of fluids. It is possible to hold 2 or more kilograms of stool in the colon. Remember you can use Movicol, Flax Seed, Aloe Tablets or Agiolax (As these are non-habit forming)

For women, your cycle may cause a weight gain of 1 – 2.5kg. Beware of the date of your last menstrual cycle.

HUNGER?You may periodically struggle with hunger, however, most people do not. If you are hungry, then increase your water or tea intake. The hunger will normally pass by the second week and you will find your servings to be sa�sfying. HCG mobilizes fat and makes it available to the body as an energy source, naturally reducing appe�te.

SLEEPGet enough sleep. Many pa�ents have reported that not enough sleep has reflected li�le or no weight loss on the following day. Aim for 6-8 hours per night.

WHY CAN’T I EAT FOODS WITH SUGAR AND STARCHES?Sugar s�mulates insulin and insulin turns it into fat. It’s a big no-no during the diet. The HCG hormone will be interrupted when sugars and starches are ingested. Failure to s�ck to the diet will minimize the weight loss results!

WHAT ABOUT MAKEUP?You are allowed to use make up

APPLE DAY: The “apple day” plateau breaker method is NOT recommended on a con�nuous basis. The process: Reduce your fluid intake by 1 litre and eat 6 apples throughout the day. This method typically will rid the body of excess fluids and most pa�ents state they lose about 1 kilogram.

STEAK DAY:Dr Simeon’s “steak day” plateau breaker is not recommended to be followed more than 1-2 �mes during the 6-week course. However, here is the process: Drink as much fluid as possible throughout the day and then enjoy a large steak for dinner. You may have 1 tomato and/or an apple with your steak. Many people have stated that they have lost about 1 kilogram the following day.

REACHED A WEIGHT LOSS STALL OR PLATEAU?

IS IT OK TO SKIP A MEAL OR PROTEIN AT ONE OF MY MEALS?NO!!!!!!!! You should not skip meals because you will end up with low blood sugar, become weak and dizzy and perhaps eat more. A protein shake can subs�tute for a mealSkipping meals is also chea�ng. Regular meals are necessary for permanent weight loss.

WHAT ABOUT EXERCISE?Yes, you can exercise but you don’t have to. You can do about 20 minutes of walking a day, yoga or Pilates if you feel that its needed. Exercise burns calories and therefore causes your hunger to increase

BENEFITS FROM REGULAR LIFESTYLE EXERCISES:Regular lifestyle exercise can actually assist your weight loss and more specifically, help you through plateaus. The addi�on of small amounts of physical ac�vity to your daily rou�ne can improve many aspects of your health. Moreover, such improvements can be experienced by virtually everyone, regardless of age, sex or physical ability. They will not require great commitments or an enormous amount of willpower.

DON’T CHEAT!!:Well, I know it’s temp�ng. Some�mes you’re a li�le hungry? Some�mes you just miss regular food, craving bread, sweets, or anything and it’s just too temp�ng to think (“Just this once” or “a few won’t hurt me”) WRONG!! This is the one diet on

the planet where you absolutely cannot or should not cheat. Now, I know there are people out there blogging or pos�ng about how to cheat successfully but the fact is, chea�ng can totally mess up your weight loss, causing you to gain up 1.5- 2.5

kilograms or disturb your stabiliza�on.

It just takes away from your weight loss efforts and becomes a setback for you. If you are struggling, get in touch. We are happy to support you. You may not see the effects of chea�ng the next morning when you step on the scale, however, you will see it show up on the scale within the week – and some have reported it can take

up to a week of no weight loss from just one cheat. The only person you are really chea�ng is yourself. It takes discipline and you can do it... Be in it to WIN! Your mind-set is equally as important to your success on the shrinking protocol as following the protocol. Developing and maintaining a posi�ve mental a�tude is truly your key to ending the cycle of yo-yo die�ng once and for all!

HERE ARE A FEW SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO AVOID CHEATING ON THE SHRINKING PROTOCOL:• Space out your meals and have a snack ready (your fruit, some raw celery s�cks,

etc). Try saving that second fruit serving for the evening if you get the munchies late at night. If you crave sweets, try a li�le natural sweetener on your strawberries.

• Drink extra water. Add some squeezed lemon and a li�le sweetener. It tastes good and its good for you.

• Journal all the reasons why you want to lose weight. Remembering why you chose to lose the weight in the first place can really help you. For your family? Your kids? Your health? Looking good? Buying gorgeous clothes? REMEMBER!!

• Think about the end result. Visualize yourself at your goal weight, playing with your kids, buying that bikini. Finding a reason to s�ck it out is cri�cal to making it happen.

• Make some hot tea. A nice cup of herbal tea, with some sweetener for sweetness or lemon can really take the edge off.

• Take a walk. A brisk walk around the block will help you clear your head and redirect your thoughts back on to the program.

• Get your family and friends on board. Many �mes, people cheat because they are confronted with tempta�on by family and friends. Try to get your family and friends to be suppor�ve and ask them kindly not to wave donuts under your nose or try to sabotage your diet efforts.

WHAT IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING EXTRA TO EAT? It is always best to s�ck to the shrinking protocol exactly, if you can. But if you must cheat it needs to be understood that the HCG is interrupted for the next three days. In other words, the pa�ent will not lose weight for the three days following the interrup�on (some�mes longer). Remember with extensive chea�ng while on the HCG diet, the hypothalamus will not reset.

If you have cheated on the shrinking protocol you can s�ll lose weight. DON’T QUIT!!!Pick yourself up and get back on that horse! Realize that the sacrifice is indeed short term compared to the long term, lifelong benefit of a healthier, be�er feeling YOU!

NEVER TRADE WHAT YOU WANT MOST FOR WHAT YOU WANT AT THE MOMENT

STABILISATION PHASE

Before you start this phase, you must con�nue with the SHRINKING PLAN ( Phase 2) for 3 days WITHOUT the lipoly�c DROPS OR JABS.

DO NOT skip this phase as this is crucial for your weight loss to be SUCCESFUL and not to gain the weight back or fluctuate up or down on the scale.This phase is just as important as the fat burning phase. It is cri�cal for rese翿�ng the hypothalamus gland, which controls your metabolism and the endocrine system of the body.

• You must weigh yourself every morning as soon as you rise but a�er you have urinated.

• Eat three meals a day. You may increase your meals in size and quan�ty, as long as you follow the rules below.

• Eat an adequate amount of daily calories to maintain weight and you may resume normal exercise rou�ne.

ALL STARCHES AND SUGARS ARE AVOIDED FOR FIRST 3 WEEKS!Avoid: Sugar, Breads, Pastas, Starchy Vegetables (all potatoes, corn, dense squashes, carrots and beets), rice, wheat cereals, noodles, barley, any kind of flour, rye, food starch etc. Beware of processed foods because many will contain starches and sugars.

• Add in other vegetables.• Add in other fruits except very sugary fruits

(banana’s, grapes and any dried fruits).• Add in fats and dairy products. Avocados, nuts, olive oils, good fats

(like fa�y fish), bu�er, cheese and so on, can be eaten at any meal.

You need to eat the same type of foods as on your SHRINKING PROTOCOL and gradually introduce more protein, vegetables and fruits to your daily intake but without sugar or starches.Some people are able to add small amounts of dairy back into their diet at this point.

CARBS & SUGARS:First 3 weeks - Avoid foods with significant starches such as corn and potatoes. Stay away from starches and sugar religiously. When they are combined, weight gain will occur dras�cally.It is important to note that your new weight has not yet become stable (i.e. does not show violent fluctua�ons a�er an occasional excess.) A�er 3 weeks on Phase 3 (Maintenance) you may consume sugars, starches and healthy carbs in modera�on. We recommend whole grains, oats, wheat bread, etc. Avoid heavy starch and sugars such as those found in potatoes, jams and rice. Avoid overly sweet fresh and dried fruits due to the high sugar content.

Hydrogenated oils should be avoided typically found in some canned goods and pastries. Strive to stay away from processed foods. Avoid high volumes of fructose syrup in such things as canned fruit, fruit drinks and soda.

OILS & FATS:During the maintenance phase, you may reintroduce healthy oils into your body, e.g. extra virgin olive oil. Avoid the unhealthy oils such as vegetable oil. Bu�er may be consumed lightly

EXERCISE:During the maintenance phase, it is encouraged to begin a regular workout rou�ne of both aerobic and anaerobic

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THESE MEALS ARE COMPRISED OF HEALTHY FOODS.

SUMMARY: PHASE 3 MAINTENANCEMake sure that you s�ll weigh yourself every day

Note: If you gain more than 2kg at any point during the Stabilisa�on phase, have a steak or apple day!!

AVOID ALL STARCHED AND SUGARS FOR THE FIRST 3 WEEKS (SUGAR, BREADS,

POTATOES, CORN, CARROTS, BEETS, RICE, WHEAT, CEREALS, NOODLES, BARLEY, ANY

KIND OF FLOUR)

Week 1 800 – 1000 Calories Start using fats and increase protein (170g-220g), av o’s, nuts, olive oil, bu�er, cheese (Don’t overdo the fats/oils)

Week 2 1000 -1500 Calories Add in more veg and cheese etc.

Week 3 2000 Cal (Women) & 3000 Cal (Men)

FROM WEEK 4 YOU CAN START ADDING CARBS AND SUGARS

(SUGARS E.G.: PUMPKIN, CARROTS, BUTTERNUT – USE SWEETENER TO SWEETEN THEM)

Week 4 Add in one carb a day – every day of the week must be a different one) – if weight changes, half the por�on

exercises. 30 minutes of cardio per day and light weights with higher repe��on. It is recommended to consult your physician before par�cipa�ng in any vigorous ac�vity.

ALCOHOL:You may enjoy an alcoholic beverage such as wine, light beer or liquor with meals during Phase 3.Avoid sweet mixers, liqueurs, and dessert wines.

During and a�er the MAINTENANCE PHASE you should not gain any weight. Con�nue to weigh yourself daily. If you experience a common 2kg

gain within the maintenance phase do not worry. However once the scale registers above a 2kg weight gain it is important to do a “Steak OR Apple Day” the same day the gain is no�ced. Many clinics have discovered that a steak or apple day will eliminate the weight.

STEAK DAY: Drink plenty of water (2 – 2.5 litres). Consume zero calories for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. For dinner consume a large unsalted steak. Eat with an apple and/or tomato. APPLE DAY: Reduce your fluid intake by 1 litre and eat 6 apples throughout the day.

You will experience a life changing nature of the metabolic shi� that occurs a�er a course of HCG combined with a low-calorie diet.

It’s important to remain within 2 kilograms of your last injec�on weight in either direc�on. You want to make sure to take in a reasonable amount of calories as soon as you begin phase 3 of the diet because the HCG is no longer burning your fat stores for fuel and your body requires energy and proper nutri�on to func�on properly. Do not try to con�nue the low-calorie diet without the HCG. You may have disastrous results, start to gain weight again, or end up with health and nutri�on issues. Follow the plan exactly as it is wri�en by Dr. Simeons and you should be successful.

One thing that you should no�ce when you begin the phase 3 por�on of the diet was that you will no longer crave breads,

starches, and sugars that you used to find so appealing. Embrace this experience. Make a choice to change your lifestyle. Eat more fruits and vegetables, healthy proteins and fats. Allow yourself to give up the processed food products and fast foods. It is these foods that caused you to gain weight in the first place. Enjoy the taste of whole, natural, and organic foods. There are delicious, healthy versions of any food you enjoy such as pizza, ice cream, or healthy desserts and casseroles in your future. But not the junk food varie�es you have eaten in the past. For healthy maintenance following the program, make healthier, choices and avoid the junk.

HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. HCG is a hormone naturally produced in the body. It has many func�ons and is used medically to treat a variety of condi�ons. It is the pregnancy hormone. This hormone allows the body to metabolize fat and use it as energy for both mother and foetus. This acts as a “fail-safe” mechanism when energy is needed immediately. For weight loss, we use only a very small amount of HCG to capitalise on this same mechanism. Using HCG in this way does not mimic pregnancy; in fact, it can be safely used by both men and women. HCG is extremely safe. Women may experience very high levels during pregnancy with no adverse effects. Currently, there are no known established clinical side effects.

IS HCG SAFE FOR MEN?HCG is naturally found in all the human �ssue of all males and females alike. It is therefore safe for men to use. Men actually get faster results and tend to lose more weight than women.

IF HCG WORKS SO WELL FOR WEIGHT LOSS, WHY DON’T PREGNANT WOMEN LOSE WEIGHT?HCG works to mobilize fat for u�liza�on by the body only when there is a significant decrease in calories and fat. For weight loss, a very low-calorie diet of all the right foods is used to trigger HCG to help rid the body of fat.

WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE CALLING THE HCG WEIGHT LOSS “CURE”?Lots of HCG users call it a weight loss “cure” rather than just another weight loss method, a�er finishing the program and losing the weight, it resets your body to use stored fat for energy when it detects calorie reduc�on for a period of �me. It then helps you op�mally

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THE LIFESTYLE CHANGE: AFTER THE HCG DIET

This is the life�me maintenance of the program. Con�nue to keep sugars to a minimum and introduce starches back to your diet very slowly. Con�nue to eat proteins and stay away from heavily processed or fast foods. Weigh yourself o�en and use the steak or

apple day if you have gained beyond your set baseline weight.

Remember the HCG diet actually resets the hypothalamus and resets your natural body weight. It trains the hypothalamus to burn fat and not to store it into abnormal fat stores. Again, other diets don’t do that which is why this is a cure and not just a temporary solu�on. S�ll, though your body has changed, and it resists storing fat, if

you don’t change your mind and spirit and go back how you used to eat and live, the weight will eventually come back.

maintain your weight and e翿�ciently keep off the kilograms and cen�meters you have shed.

WILL MY METABOLISM SLOW DOWN IF I AM ON A VERY LOW-CALORIE DIET?It is true that normally when cu翿�ng back on calories and fat, our body stores fat and our metabolism slows down. This happens because fat is really a life-saving source of stored energy. When a low-calorie diet is used in conjunc�on with the HCG, the hormone signals the body to use stored fat for energy and will eliminate excess fat reserves. It is a natural process, so no ill effects on your metabolism will result. The HCG keeps the body from going into starva�on mode and holding onto fat as it resets your metabolism.

WOULD I LOSE THE SAME WEIGHT BY EATING A MINIMALLY LOW-CALORIE DIET WITHOUT HCG?Sure, you can lose weight by consuming fewer calories and fat, but because the body retains fat when deprived of calories, you will most likely lose muscle and bone before fat. This causes your cellular metabolism to slow down, and eventually making adding weight easier, as well as decrease bone density and muscle mass. By using HCG with the low-calorie diet, extra fat is mobilized for energy and the rest is eliminated. The low-calorie diet is vital in preven�ng immediate refilling of emp�ed fat cells. You benefit by preferen�ally ge翿�ng rid of excess fat without affec�ng the muscle and bone.With HCG, you can lose the weight quickly and keep it off!!

WILL THE HCG DIET HELP ME KEEP MY WEIGHT OFF?According to Dr. Simeons, the first doctor to pioneer the HCG Diet, if the HCG diet protocol is followed the ending result will be that the hypothalamus gland (the gland that helps regulate weight & metabolism) will be reset. Dr. Simeons suggests that the body rethinks how to handle stored fat and appe�te. With proper diet and exercise the weight loss with the HCG diet can last a life�me.

WHAT IS THE HYPOTHALAMUS GLAND?The hypothalamus gland moderates, thyroid, adrenals, fat storage and more importantly your metabolic rate.As we age, our hypothalamus progressively accumulates toxins, causing it to malfunc�on. This is par�ally the reason why our metabolism slows down as we age.

IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT FOR THE HCG DIET AND DOES IT WORK FOR EVERYONE?We have seen success from young to old. We do recommend that if you are concerned about your health to check with your health care provider before star�ng any diet. This diet may NOT BE FOLLOWED BY PREGNANT WOMEN!

DO I HAVE TO FOLLOW A SPECIAL DIET? The HCG diet injec�ons cause your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of the fat storage loca�ons so that it’s available to use. While you are only consuming set por�ons

for certain food groups, your hypothalamus is con�nually releasing the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually opera�ng on thousands of calories a day. The result is your body using thousands of calories of fat from your body each day; the reason HCG dieters lose 0.5kg of fat or more per day.HCG is only effec�ve for weight loss if it is taken while strictly with the diet protocol. If you fail to follow the diet you will fail to lose weight. If you only follow the diet without taking HCG, you are simply starving yourself because there is no fat in the bloodstream to burn. Simply said, BOTH, HCG and a low-calorie diet is required.

WHAT FOOD AM I ALLOWED TO EAT?The HCG diet is balanced, unlike many extreme “fad” diets out there. It consists of a healthy variety of protein, vegetables and fruit, with a small amount of starch. You eat them in specific por�ons and combina�ons.

HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN I EXPECT TO LOSE ON THE PROGRAM?Every person is different, and results vary. It depends on many factors including how much excess weight you have, your age and gender. People that have recently dieted will also lose weight slower since the metabolism has already slowed down.

WILL HCG INTERFERE WITH ANY MEDICATIONS I AM CURRENTLY TAKING? WHAT ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL PILLS OR DEPO-PROVERA INJECTIONS?HCG doesn’t interact with any medica�ons. That includes birth control pills and Depo-Provera.Women who use oral birth control won’t need to take extra precau�ons

WILL I EXPERIENCE ANY CHANGES IN MY MENSTRUAL CYCLE TAKING HCG?Since the amount of HCG is so rela�vely low, there probably won’t be any changes to your menstrual cycle. Similarly, HCG won’t affect your ability to become pregnant, and also neither increases your odds of ge翿�ng pregnant.The HCG Diet can be started any �me in a women’s cycle and does not have to be stopped during menstrua�on.

WHO IS A RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR THE HCG DIET INJECTIONS?The majority of men and women can use HCG injec�ons for weight loss. It is recommended that dieters consult a physician concerning your weight loss, along with the appropriate implementa�on of the HCG protocol. The physician will NOT permit HCG weight loss injec�ons for WOMEN who ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING.

DO I HAVE TO TAKE VITAMINS WHILE DOING THIS DIET?A good mul�-vitamin helps, however, make sure it is sugar free and has no fat-soluble ingredients like fish oils. Also make sure that the b6 is under 30mg per day as it may trigger hunger. Potassium is also good especially if you experience leg cramps, which can be common while on this diet.
