When one successfully completes a 23 day round of treatments and follows the 6 weeks of maintenance, the hypothalamus will re-set to a new set point, allowing the person to eat normally without gaining weight. Subsequent rounds may follow if more weight loss is desired.
While doing the hCG diet, a person will take 1 dose per day of injectable hCG. If you have a fear of needles, then a sublingual mix can be prepared, but a person must take 2 doses per day.
hCG Diet is divided into phases. Phase I consists of preparing your body by cleansing & detoxifying. Phase II is the actual diet and Phase III is the maintenance.
Phase I - Cleansing or Detoxifying
Some people who have been eating a healthy diet without a lot of additives & preservatives can bypass phase I. Others who have consumed years of food additives & chemicals may need to detoxify with adrenal support and colon cleanses.
Phase II - hCG Diet
This is the actual diet phase which consists of 23 days of hCG treatments in conjunction with a very low calorie diet. The first 2 days of the protocol entails eating as much high fat foods as can be consumed called loading. This consists of butter, cream, ice cream, cheese, high fat meat. Doing this will replenish the normal fat stores in the body that have been depleted by previous dieting.
After the first two days of loading begins the VLCD. Details are found on the hCG Diet page.
If a person is doing well and not feeling hungry after 23 days of hCG dieting, one can go on to a 40 day course. There is a chance that immunity to the hCG will occur during that time, and one would need to end and go on to the maintenance phase.
Phase III - Stabilize & Maintain
This is an important step in the hCG Diet. Once you have lost your weight, you will need to stabilize, this means keeping your weight within 2 lbs of your last injection weight. This also means weighing yourself daily so you can make a correction if your weight goes up.
The best way to stabilize is to follow Dr. Atkins low carbohydrate plan, by doubling your protein intake, adding a good amount of healthy fats like butter, cream & cheese and by keeping your carbohydrate intake to 20 grams a day. No starches, No sugar
