How to Have the Most Success on HCG

The human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, or hCG, diet protocol was developed in 1954 by Dr. Albert Simeons. Simeons discovered that the use of hCG in conjunction with a very low calorie diet would result in moderate weight loss as well as an increase in metabolism once the protocol was completed. The hCG diet protocol can be 26 to 43 days long. Simeons believed that the use of hCG would aid in the removal of fat from excessive fat stores. The body would in turn burn these excess fat stores as caloric intake in order to prevent hunger and allow the body to function normally despite the limited number of calories allowed during hCG diet protocol.

Tips For YouHow to Have the Most Success on HCG


  1. Adhere to the diet exactly as the hCG diet protocol states. It is very important that you do not exceed 500 calories per day. The program will help suppress your appetite and assist you in adhering to the diet's guidelines.
  2. Make meals in advance. Keeping hCG-friendly meals on hand will help prevent snacking due to cravings that can often lead to an increase in weight.
  3. Use plenty of seasonings. Take advantage of the ability to use various seasonings while on the hCG diet. The use of seasonings will provide a variety of tastes thus preventing boredom with the limited amount of food you are permitted to eat.
  4. Drink lots of water. Assuring that you maintain a daily intake of at least 64 ounces of water per day will aid in the prevention of hunger.
  5. Obtain pharmaceutical grade hCG from a licensed physician. There are numerous online sources that claim to have hCG products. However, the FDA has not verified the claims of these companies and the quality of their products cannot be verified.
  6. Store hCG properly. Always refrigerate when not in use.
