  HCG Protocol

10 drops x 3 a day = 5cc similar to the effects of 125i.u. daily injections.

Take HCG at the same time every day. Tap bottle 10 times before each dose. Do not eat or drink for 30 minutes before or after taking your HCG drops.

Set yourself up for success!! Read all instructions before starting and follow the directions!

Each phase is important for your success. Deviating from this protocol will result in more hunger, greater headaches, and weight gain.  The closer you stick to the protocol, the better the results will be.

Phase 1(Pre Diet) Completing a two week cleanse before starting your drops or supplements. This will help remove toxins that prevent HCG effectiveness and helps kill Candida which causes weight gain and hunger. Do not take any supplements during the cleansing phase. If you are not going to the bathroom, a colon cleanse is right for you. If you are going to the bathroom everyday, we recommend a body cleanse or Candida cleanse.

Phase 1 -Day 1 and 2: Take HCG and gorge on healthy, high fat foods. Cheese, whole milk, ice cream, nuts, avocados, peanut butter etc.  Eat as much healthy high fat foods as possible.  This will open your fat reserves to help flush out fat and also release nutrients for less hunger when you start your low calorie diet. Treat yourself to a few tasty foods you will not be eating in the next few weeks.  Yes- start your HCG drops during this time and your supplements.

Phase 2- Starting with Day 3: Take HCG and follow a 800 calorie diet plan for up to 40 days (except during menstruation - during menstruation Dr. Simeons advised to not take HCG, but to continue the 800 calorie diet).  Eliminate all fat from your diet.  This includes any skin or hair care products with oil. Continue taking all your supplements.  Supplements are important for keeping your strength up and help you burn more fat! Don't forget, the more clean (non-tap) water you drink, the more weight you will lose! (2 to 3 liters a day)

Phase 3 - Maintenance: Most important phase of this diet.

Follow 800 calories first two days after stopping HCG
1st 3 weeks after stopping HCG: All foods are allowed except starches and sugars.
2nd 3 weeks after stopping HCG: Very gradually add starches and sugars in small quantities.

Small Breakfast is allowed.  Up to 4 eggs whites or a low fat or fat free protein shake.  Drink Organic Yerba Mate or Oolong Tea with Organic Stevia in any quantity throughout the day.  These teas will help boost metabolism. Only 1 Tbsp. milk in 24 hours.

Lunch

1. 6 oz’s of veal, beef, chicken breast, turkey, lobster, crab, canned tuna (in water, oil is not acceptable) or shrimp. Any White fish: Flounder, Wild Chilean Sea Bass, Sole, Grouper and Halibut. Perch, cod, haddock, and trout. Trim off all fat and weigh raw. Meat must be boiled or grilled without additional fat.

These supplements are important to cleanse your body and to help your body function properly when you are cutting calories. Check out our line of HCG skin-care and HCG food.

Helpful Hints

1. Do a body or candida cleanse before you start on HCG. Candida is the NUMBER ONE cause of hunger while on HCG. A body with Candida will crave sugar and carbs. Hunger is a sign that you are burning calories and shedding weight.  Embrace this feeling; you are on the way to a new you!!

2. Women – The best time to start your HCG is after your cycle. You can start at any time, however you shouldn’t take HCG during your cycle. The weight will come off when you are done with your cycle. No worries!

3. Do not drink or eat 30 minutes before or after taking your HCG dose.

4. Keep all homeopathic remedies away from your cell phone or microwave.

5. Rebekah's Pure Living Hoodia Pure Capsules taken everyday eliminates hunger.

6. Stalling is OK! Weight loss wont be constant every day, so don’t worry.

7. Add organic cinnamon to your tea to help with blood sugar and weight loss.

8. Teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar before meals will speed up weight loss.

9. Smooth Move Tea will help keep your system moving. Make one cup every third day before bed.

10. Drink at least one gallon of water a day. The more you drink.. the more you will lose.

11. Rebekahs HCG power booster will help speed up weight loss, help curb appitite and keep energy levels high! Recommended Product!

New Easier 800 Calorie HCG Diet

So you've checked out the great success people have had loosing weight on Dr. Simeons HCG Diet. You want to go on this diet yourself but are concerned about the 500 calories you have to limit yourself to. Well now experts have found that you can increase your food intake and still lose the same amount of weight.

You have to realize that the original diet developed by Dr. Simeons as described in his self-published pamphlet “Pounds and Inches” was written over fifty years ago. As with all good things, there are improvements made over the years with more study and adjustments. The HCG Diet is no exception. After working with thousands of patients on this diet many changes and improvements have been implemented. Some of these changes include:

• Calories – The biggest change is in the number of calories you can consume. It has gone from a diet of 500 calories to a diet of 800 calories. 6oz of protein is suggested on the 800 Calorie Protocol.  Many doctors feel this is safer and more sustainable and are more apt to approve of this diet for you.
• A lite protein breakfast is allowed along with your tea or coffee.
• Vegetables – You were only allowed a limited variety of vegetables. Now you can have a greater variety of green vegetables. Up to 2 cups of vegetables per meal.
• Miracle Noodles- These are calorie free and carb free. Made from Glucomannan which helps balance your blood sugar levels. Enjoy!
• Injection vs Oral – The original diet prescribed only injections of HCG administered by a doctor. It is now found that the oral HCG drops are just as effective and can be administered very easily by the dieter.
• Foods Allowed –There are several recipe books available today that make the diet much easier to tolerate. Before many people would cheat on the diet just because of the limited variety in their diet and they just felt they had to sneak something not on the diet for variety.

So, with this new, improved version of the HCG Diet you will enjoy a safer, more sustainable diet which will give you the same wonderful results as the original Dr. Simeons version. You will feel better and be more apt to stick with the diet with the better choice of foods and the higher calorie count allowed.

For the best in pure natural HCG Products and many other natural health products be sure to visit Rebekah's Pure Living where her dedicated staff will look after your natural health needs. If you work with her and your physician, you will soon be on the road to a healthier, fuller life.

HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol -Updates

 Please download a copy of my 800 calorie protocol. It is very important to have all of the information and tools readily accessible to maximum weight loss results.

New 800 Calorie Protocol EBOOK! By Sonia Russell, LPN

The HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol was developed over 4 years ago with my team of medical professionals. There have been just a few updates that are not included in the eBook. The following updates are for Phase 2:

Phase 2 approved updates:

* RED and GREEN APPLES are allowed.

* Soy products are prohibited.

* NO breadsticks, melba, grisinni or wasa crackers allowed on P2.

* EGG WHITE BREAKFAST ALTERNATIVES:

More than a few dieters have reported an allergy or intolerance to egg whites. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN INTOLERANCE OR ALLERGY, please do not substitute. My protocol food studies only utilized egg whites with our patients for breakfast. You may enjoy adding Sonia's HCG Salsa to them for flavor. (many dieters report the salsa tastes delicious)

After careful consideration and detailed research on allowable phase 2 product ingredients, I have approved the following egg white alternatives on an "experimental" basis. The majority of dieters report consistent losses using the following products listed below:

OPTION 1: Jay Robb Whey Protein Isolate shake may be substituted in place of 3 eggwhites for breakfast only. Please add 1 serving of fruit. (Do not confuse the Jay Robb Whey Protein Isolate shake with Jay Robb Whey Concentrate or Jay Robb Egg White- these are NOT approved)  Raw Protein - Garden of Life . Organic NutraBiotic Rice Protein Powder or Sun Warrior Protien Powder.

http://www.rebekahspureliving.com/hcg/hcg-safe-food/jay-robb-protein-powders

OPTION 2: LOW SODIUM 4% Cottage Cheese is an approved protein substitute if you have an intolerance to egg whites and whey protein isolate. You may have a 4 oz. serving and no more than 140mg of sodium allowed in a 4 oz. serving. These brands are low in sodium: Lucerne, Friendship and Hood manufacturers. You will most likely retain water if you do not pay attention to the sodium content. Make sure to add 1 fruit serving.

*If you experience a stall for 3 or more days, discontinue the egg white alternative immediately. 

Why Whey Protein Isolate? Whey protein isolate shakes are a great alternative food for those with egg allergy or an intolerance. Whey protein isolate contains only 1 percent of lactose compared to whey protein concentrate that can have up to 30% lactose. If you are sensitive, even 1 percent can make you feel bloated and gassy. Taking whey protein isolate while on the hCG diet will not cause weight gain, its quite the opposite. Whey protein isolate assists in preventing muscle loss, increases energy and metabolism which will cause your body to naturally burn more calories daily. In addition, studies have proven that whey protein isolate controls blood sugar levels and is recommended for diabetics by physicians. Whey protein has also been proven in studies to increase fat burning in the belly area and thighs.

*VEGGIE TOPPERS

There are 2 types of vegetables in the 800 calorie protocol. Dark green fiber rich  broccoli and water veggies. celery. Water veggies are mainly made of water and do not provide a whole lot of nutritional value. They can be added to your egg whites for breakfast such as preparing an hcg salsa topper. They can be added to your lunch salad, smothered over breast of chicken, or stuffed in a green bell pepper.

What exactly are the allowable "WATER VEGGIE" toppers?

Tomato, cucumber, celery, green leaf lettuce and white onion.

What exactly are green fiber rich veggies?

Any green vegetable ie. asparagus, spinach, broccoli, green beans, cabbage etc... You are required to eat 1 cup serving of cooked green fiber rich veggies for lunch and for dinner. Veggies have been proven to increase digestion and assist with weight loss.

*Please do NOT substitute a whole tomato or cucumber as your veggie serving. These are "water veggies"  that are just toppers on your egg whites or salad. They are not green fiber rich vegetables that assist in digestion.

Should You Detox Before Starting HCG Diet?

Most of you are aware of the many benefits of the HCG Diet as introduced by Dr. Simeons but, many of you have heard that you should detoxify your body before you begin your HCG Diet. What are the real facts?

The process of detoxifying your body before beginning the HCG Diet is strongly recommended by Kevin Trudeau in his book that many believe greatly improved on the results obtained by participating in the original diet. While it is not necessary to detox in advance of starting your HCG Diet it has many advantages:

• Remove Toxins – Detoxing will remove the harmful toxins and heavy metals from your body especially from the liver.

• Jump start weight loss – The detoxification process done by itself will cause you to lose weight before you start the actual diet. However, don't think because you have already lost weight, you don't have to continue with the HCG Diet. You must commit yourself to the whole program in order to lose and maintain the weight you desire.

• Improve Digestion of Food – By cleansing your body it will adjust to better digesting of the new improved food that you are going to feed it. No more craving for the sugar and other harmful ingredients it was addicted to.

• Rid Body of Sodium – The detoxification will also rid your body of the harmful storage of sodium and the HCG Diet will help you maintain a proper sodium intake.

• Increases Nutrition Absorption – By cleansing your body in advance of starting the Diet, your body will be able to absorb all of the nutrients from the food you will be consuming thus making you feel much more energetic on this 500 calorie diet.

• Rebalanced System – Your gastrointestinal tract will be cleansed during the detoxification stage which will assist in re balancing the system while participating in, and long after completing the whole HCG Diet Protocol.

• Hunger Pains – You will adjust much quicker to the 500 calorie HCG Diet hunger pains if your body is detoxified before starting the diet.

So it is not a question of if you should detox before starting the HCG Diet Protocol, but what you should use for this cleansing. Rebekah's Pure Living supplies the purest HCG Approved Detox Products on the market today. Your total well being is of the utmost concern to Rebekah and her staff and they will be happy to answer any concerns you may have about the HCG Diet or any other health issues. They also offer a complete selection of HCG Diet Products and other pure Health products.

So working closely with Rebekah and her staff and your family physician you can improve your health immensely and change your lifestyle to live longer and healthier.

Are you planning on starting a round of HCG ? Cleaning out your body of harmful toxins allows the HCG and supplements to work at maximum power in your body, so you lose more weight and feel better.

How can you decide what cleanse is right for you?

Below are the common symptoms and proper cleanses related to different weight problem.

1. Are you going to the bathroom every day? If not, your colon may having problems naturally eliminating toxins  and fat from your body. A colon cleanse is right for you.

2. Craving sugars and sweets?  Candida wants to be fed and lives on carbohydrates and sugars, and if you are overweight you may have an abundance of candida in your body. Following a Candida cleanse will help lessen your hunger and also shrink your body.

 HCG SLOW WEIGHT LOSS AND PLATEAU

The average weight loss for our bottle is 21lbs. However if you can dedicate yourself to the exact protocol your weight loss with be greater!  If you are in this range, then you are right on track. There are a few reasons for slower weight loss or a plateau. This is totally normal and will pass. The more you educate yourself the greater the success!!

Remember besides losing weight... Candida is the #1 cause of hunger while on the HCG.  A two week Candida cleanse is recommend before starting the HCG to help prevent hunger.

You must realize that it is not a question of if you will plateau on HCG, but when you will plateau. Almost everyone will eventually plateau so it is not something that you should become unnecessarily upset about. It will likely happen and there are several reasons why and equally as many ways you can correct the problem.

A plateau is considered to have been met when you have gone four or five days without losing any weight. HCG is a very strict procedure and any change from the proper protocol can result in hitting a plateau.

Reasons For Slow Weight Loss:

1. Did you cleanse first?  This is very important for removing toxins out of your body  and will allow  the HCG to work it to its full potential.

2. Are you eating grocery store meat.  Sorry, way to many growth hormones, so eliminate grocery store meat and shrimp. Always buy your meat  from a local market.

3. Are you taking medications with the side effect of "weight gain".  (Which is most prescription meds) Your weight loss may not be as great as someone not taking medication, however do not let this discourage you. Any weight loss will create a healthier you!

4. Eliminate the bread portion of the diet. We have left the Melba toast off our protocol. We find regular Melba toast causes many people to stall. Organic thin crackers are preferred.

5. Are you taking your Iodine supplement. Very important for thyroid health!  All supplements are important, so make sure you are taking them for optimal body performance. Taking Iodine and your required supplements also prevents hair loss.

6. Keep your bowels moving. If you are not going to the bathroom completely, this will make your weight go up. Smooth Move tea every few days may be needed. Magnisum before bed will also help keep thins moving.

7. The more water you drink, the more weight you will lose!

Why Do You Stop Losing Weight:

    * You cheated on the diet. This is the main reason why you may reach a plateau. You have to follow the HCG protocol exactly.

    *  Additives in the chicken you prepare. Be sure to purchase only chicken that has not been injected with hormones or other additives.

    *  You have passed the immunity stage. There is a point at which your body grows immune to HCG. This is the main reason why the procedure is limited to 26 or 40 days. after this there is a waiting period before starting another phase if you need to lose more weight.

    *  You have reached your ideal weight. HCG is not meant to produce a body weight that is significantly below the weight recommended for your height and body shape.

    *  Starting new medications. Consult your doctor if you reach a plateau after changing or starting new medications.

    *   Using cosmetics. The body will absorb the oils and additives used in cosmetics and creams. You must refrain from using any cosmetics during your treatment.

These are only a few of the reasons why you may reach an HCG Plateau. When you do not lose any weight for four or five days think back and try to recall what you may have changed to bring about this stop in weight loss.

What Can Be Done When You Hit An HCG Plateau?

    *  The Apple Day Procedure. This procedure consists of eating nothing for twenty-four hours except apples. You are permitted six apples starting at noon on one day and finishing at noon the following day. You should also limit your water consumption to just enough to quench your thirst. After your Apple day you should see a further loss of weight

    *   The Steak day. With this procedure you eat nothing all day until supper time. You may then have a steak, with all fat removed, with an apple or a tomato.

    *    Increase your consumption of water.

    *    Check for sugar in your food. Sugar is often added to many different food products. Check all food purchases for   sugar and other additives.

    *    Get some mild form of exercise such as walking every day. However avoid any strenuous exercises like running as it will result in more water retention.

    *    Take two tablespoons of diluted apple cider vinegar.

Expect to reach a plateau during your HCG treatment but realize it is only a temporary situation and you will soon return to your regular daily weight loss.

Article-New HCG Diet Plateau Breakers
By Sonia E Russell, Melissa Simeons and Becky Hcg in HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol

 Here are the best hCG diet plateau breaking tips that have been found to be very effective when following the hCG Diet Protocol. Many of the plateau breakers listed can be utilized in both Phase 2 and 3.

NEW! Cantaloupe Plateau Breaker: At bedtime, eat half of a medium sized cantaloupe (make sure to cut it yourself) and drink 1 full glass of water right before you lay down to sleep. You should lose between 0.5-3 pounds the following morning. Eating cantaloupe assists in pulling water out of the fat cell and this action works best while you are asleep. For dieters on the 500 calorie protocol, the 1/2 cantaloupe at bedtime will be your second fruit of the day. For dieters on the 800 calorie protocol, the 1/2 cantaloupe at bedtime will be your third fruit of the day. There is a 99% success rate for both protocols in P2. It really works!

NEW! Ask your prescribing hCG diet weight loss physician to increase your hCG dosage by 25 IU's daily until you lose weight and then resume the original dosage once the plateau has been broken.Do not increase your hCG dosage without the permission of your prescribing doctor. For P2.

NEW! Drink Oolong, Black and Green Tea as they are made from the Camellia sinensius plant. There are only 3 types of real tea that have significant health benefits - black, green and oolong, all which increase metabolism and burn fat. For P2 and P3.

NEW! Get enough sleep. Many dieters have reported that not enough sleep has reflected little or no weight loss on the following day. The reason this occurs is if you do not get at least 7 hours of sleep each night, especially on phase 3 when the body is stabilizing your metabolic rate, the body will increase the production of the hormone gherlin which increases appetite and slows down metabolism. For P2 and P3.

NEW! Intense exercise is not needed for success on the HCG diet. If you are on the 500 calorie protocol and have been lifting weights, consider limiting your workouts to just walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes a day. Resistance training builds lean muscle mass. Lean muscle weighs more than fat and may skew your weight loss on the scale. Dieters following the 800 calorie hCG diet protocol may particpate in some light resistance training or 30 minutes of low impact aerobics only as tolerated. However, it is best to wait until you have finished the Phase 2 HCG therapy. For P2.

Increase your fluid intake to 3 quarts per day. Additional fluids will assist in promoting adequate digestion, help prevent constipation and may help to flush out toxins and fat. If you are not drinking enough water daily, your body will store water as a means of protection. For P2 and P3.

Try increasing your protein by half an ounce. You may not be eating enough calories per day. Avoid consuming less than 500 calories daily because your body may store fat or you may not lose any weight. In some cases you may actually gain. For P2.

Limit eating red meat to only 1 or 2 times per week. Red meat digests slowly in the bowel and may slow down weight loss. For P2 and P3.

Make sure you are not using garlic salt or salt substitutes. Garlic powder and sea salt are acceptable. Products such as Mrs. Dash and No Salt are forbidden. For P2.

Do not mix green vegetables. For example; do not mix asparagus and cabbage together. However, you can mix vegies in your salad such as lettuce, tomato, and onion. Just remember that green vegetables should not be mixed. For P2.

Discontinue Grissini bread sticks, Melba toast and Wasa crackers. For P2.

Do not eat the same protein, vegetable or fruit more than once in the same day. For example; do not eat tilapia for lunch and dinner or half a grapefruit for breakfast and the other half for lunch. Metabolism increases when the body has different foods to break down and digest. For P2 and P3.

Make sure there are no antibiotics, flavor enhancers or added rib meat in your chicken or other protein sources. For P2 and P3.

Do not eat any canned food products. Many canned food products contain high fructose corn syrup, preservatives and flavor enhancers that may slow down weight loss. For P2 and P3.

Make sure you buy your proteins raw and without any marinades. For P2 and P3.

For women, your menstrual cycle may cause a water weight gain of 2-5 pounds. Be aware of the date of your last menstrual cycle and never begin the hCG diet right when you start your period. For P2.

If you are not having regular bowel movements, a fiber supplement such as over the counter Senna is highly recommended to be taken daily. It is possible to hold 5 or more pounds of stool in the colon. High protein low fat diets most often will cause constipation. If you have not had a bowel movement for 5 days, an over the counter laxative suppository should be taken. If you do not experience relief then please contact your doctor's office for further instruction.

Raw Unfiltered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is the star condiment on this diet. If you suffer from acid reflux or just dislike the taste, consider taking Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules found at most health food stores. ACV has been scientifically proven to release fat within the body and contains similar properties that have been found in grapefruit. For P2.
