What is the hCG Diet?
British Physician, Dr. A. T. W. Simeons discovered the use of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin for obesity.
Dr. Simeons did years of reseach. He found that his patients’ bodies would reshape and contour naturally, while losing significant weight. Without exercise. He noticed that when hCG was combined with a low calorie diet, his patients did not experience hunger pains, headaches, irritability or weakness.
He published a report related to hCG in 1954.
He formulated the original hCG Diet Protocol.

The 500 calorie diet is explained on the day of the second injection to those patients who will be preparing their own food, and it is most important that the person who will actually cook is present – the wife, the mother or the cook, as the case may be. Here in Italy patients are given the following diet sheet.
