This is where it gets a little confusing. When you are searching and finding information, or reading hCG diet forums about the hCG diet or phase 2 of the hCG Diet, the hCG diet Phase 2, based on Dr. Simones’, Pounds and Inches, and Kevin Trudeau’s, The Weight Loss Cure, are different parts of the same hCG diet.

As a matter of fact, it was only after Kevin Trudeau’s The Weight Loss Cure came out and people on the internet start talking, exchanging ideas, successes, and stories, and seeking help and more information about the hCG diet, that it became part of the lexicon to refer to the various parts of the diet as phases and stages as rounds.

IF you came to this page first, you may want to read hCG Diet Phase 1 before starting on the hCG Diet Phase 2 post.

Dr. Simeons hCG Diet Phase 2

Dr. Simeons has you starting the actual ‘diet’ of the hCG diet, eating the specific hCG diet foods called for in Dr. Simones Pounds and Inches manuscript in Phase 2.

The hCG Diet Phase 2 lasts for 26 days or 40 days. The day difference depends on how much weight you have to lose and how long you prefer to diet. While you are on the diet phase of the hCG diet, you will continue injecting hCG, or taking your oral hCG for a 26 or 40 day time period.

However, the last 3 days, (day 23 or day 37 respectively) you will stop taking hCG, but continue to eat the hCG diet foods of 500 calories. This gives the hCG time to leave your system before you begin either your hCG diet hiatus, or you go on to maintaining your weight loss.

A word about the hCG allowed foods. As the diet has evolved and become popular, others have added other foods to this list or increased the caloric intake. Dr. Simeons’ hCG diet food list is very specific, very limited, and very low in calories, 500 per day. The hCG allowed food is, NO fat, VERY low carb and HIGH protein. This allows for optimal fat loss from the body in the shortest amount of time.
