HCG Diet Rounds and Phases

By Dr. Dennis Clark | Posted under HCG Diet Basics, HCG Diet Phases | 2 Comments

HCG diet phases can get a little mixed up unless you know what they mean. They are numbered, Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III, for each major component of the Simeons diet protocol. Phase III is especially crucial to follow closely, because it sets your metabolism after you stop taking the hormone. This is when people can gain back too much weight and ruin all their prior effort.

Phase III “Maintenance”–During this phase, you slowly add high glycemic foods while continuing to monitor your weight. If you begin to gain rather than maintain, you need to restrict these sugary or starchy foods.

Keep their great advice in mind for a successful protocol all the way to completion of your slimming goal.

All the best,

I just started the program and am on day 2 of the VLCD. I have felt hunger, headaches, and slight lightheadedness. I know I have the abnormal fat, so I’m not sure if this is normal and/or if it will go away. Is that something you could please answer? Thanks!

Hi, Angie:

This happens to quite a few people, although it doesn’t last for long. A lot of variables go into this kind of response, so it is hard to day why some people respond this way and others (most) do not. You should not have to suffer like this through the entire protocol. If your symptoms continue beyond the first week or so, you may want to consult with your doctor.

All the best,
Dennis
