Dr. Simeons hCG Diet Protocol
To download in pdf Pounds&Inches
Dr. Simeons Pounds and Inches is a very strict very low calorie diet (VLCD). It consists of daily injections of hCG (125 iu’s-175 iu’s), 500 calories a day, 100 grams of protein 2x a day, 1 small fruit or 4-6 small strawberries 2x a day, 2 servings of vegetables not mixed and a salad. No dressing, no oils, nothing else. You stay on the diet, 6 weeks on 3 weeks off and rotate continue until you have lost the desired weight.
Many hcg dieters refer to the various phases as P1, P2, P3 to indicate what point they are at in their hCG diet weight loss journey.
Your daily hCG diet protocol will resemble the below.
On the blog there is a hCG diet menu with hCG diet recipes and a 13 part video series about the hCG diet by Kevin Trudeau as presented at the Green Valley Spa in October 2008. There is also a Quick Overview of How to Start the hCG Diet that gives you a 10 step guide to prepare yourself.

Meat
- 2 servings of meat a day. Do not combine the servings. Each serving is 100 grams or 3.5 oz
- All weight meat before cooking
- All visible fat should be removed before cooking
- Occasionally you can have eggs in lieu of a meat. 1 whole egg and 3 whites poached, boiled or even scrambled. Or you can have 100 grams of skimmed milk cottage cheese.
Vegetables
- Do not mix or combined vegetables
- 2 servings a day
- Dr. Simeons doesn’t give an amount of hCG approved vegetables. The popular consensus is 2 cups per meal before cooking.
Fruit
- 2 servings of fruits. Do not combine the servings
Breads
- 2 servings of breads a day. Either Melba Toast or Grissini breadsticks. Do not combine the servings.
Liquids
- Water is essential 8 – 8oz glasses a day is minimal
- Coffee
- Tea
- 1 TBS of milk a day only
Load Days Day 1 & 2
Day 1, you will start your hCG injections today as well as your hCG load days. You are allowed to eat anything you want, often refereed to as 2 day hCG diet gorge days or loading days or as Dr. Simeons says ‘eat to capacity’. Preferably, you will want to eat fatty foods. You are not restricted on your eating today.
Day 2 you will repeat your injections and your loading from yesterday.
Diet Day 3
Day 3 starts your official 500 calorie hCG diet day and you will continue your diet from the sample hCG diet meal plan above for the next 26 to 40 days depending on how much weight you need to loss. The minimum is 26 days for less weight to lose overall and 40 days for more overall weight to lose.
As the Dr. Simeons hCG diet has taken on popularity there have been some changes since its inception. Some people go straight through the 40 days either injecting hCG or doing oral hCG, some take weekends off and some take Sundays off. This is another YMMV.
After your hCG diet protocol treatment is over, you will still eat as if you are still taking hCG for 3 days. The hormone is in your system and rapid weight gain is possible during this delicate time. After the 4th day of being off diet you may proceed to eat but I would advice choosing your food wisely. Going back to old habits will bring back the weight.
After the hCG diet you should decided what will help you not only maintain your weight but improve your health as well and what eating plan you are willing to do for life and what type of exercise you are willing to do for life.
If you need to continue to on your hCG diet journey to loss more weight your next hCG protocol treatment begins in 6 weeks. This allows time for the body to reset itself from any immunity that may have built up during the hCG diet protocol.
Additional hCG diet treatments
If you need to lose additional weight Dr. Simeons states in his Pounds and Inches manuscript that each interval, when your off the hCG injections, you should wait an additional amount of time before restarting the hCG diet protocol again. 8 weeks between course 2 and 3, and 12 weeks between course 4 and 5.
FAQ for Dr. Simeons
Q. When do I take my hCG?
You should take the hCG in the morning. At best the same time each day (as some people work 2nd and 3rd shifts).
Q. When should I start?
Men can start anytime. Women should wait until after the last day of their cycle.
Q. I am a women, should I take hCG during my cycle?
The current day is YMMV some do some don’t. It’s up to you. Some people have experience lighter cycles, some heavier, some no cramps, some mild or sever. YMMV.
Q. Where can I get a copy of Dr. Simeons Pounds and Inches manuscript?
It is a good idea to review Dr. Simeons Pounds and Inches Manuscript before starting with the above or The Weight Loss Cure or even a local clinic. You should have an understanding of the hCG diet plan and the reasons behind the diet protocol for yourself.
Q. Where do I get hCG diet supplies from?
I have gotten my supplies from DIY hCG diet.
Q. Where do I get hCG from?
There are places that I do recommended. I only recommend them because I have at some point used them for myself and I find they to be trustworthy. I would never and neither should you buy hCG from just any site or vendor. You can purchase your hCG from the hCG store. They offer fast, friendly service.
Q. Should I inject hCG or should I do sublingual hCG?
That is a personal choice. Some people do not like needles some don’t care. It’s a YMMV. I will say The original hCG diet protocol did only shots.
You can do oral hCG drops or mix hCG or buy hCG drops.
Q. How do I mix hCG for injections or hCG for sublingual?
I do have free hCG mixing instructions for you for both taking hCG sublingual or doing hCG by injection.
Q. How much hCG should I buy for the diet?
That depends on how much weight you want to lose and how often you want to mix and how fresh you want it. If you only have 15-20 lbs to lose a small ampule will be good. If you have 40 lbs or more to loss then 3 5000 ampules would be better. Some people like to mix a fresh batch to ensure the hCG has kept it’s effectiveness and will buy the hCG in several 1500 ampule sizes and mix as needed. You can find your hCG supplies and purchase hCG all in one reliable and convenient place.
I personally have never had an issue with the hCG’s effectiveness for 30-40 days. You can always buy a hCG test strip and test a bit from your bottle. Simply take a few drops via your syringe and gently dispense a few drops on the test strips. Read your testing kits directions to determine if it is positive for pregnancy. IF so then your hCG is effective.
Q. What is the difference between Pounds and Inches and The Weight Loss Cure?
Kevin Trudeau recommends you do cleansing prior to starting the hCG diet, eat organically and do various cleanses during and after the hCG diet. Trudeau also introduced the various phases to the diet.
Q. Do I have to cleanse prior to hCG diet?
That is another YMMV and is advocated in The Weight Loss Cure. Some do some don’t some mix and match Pounds and Inches and The Weight Loss Cure. You will still lose weight. The cleanses are good as they do get your body ready and clears you of ‘toxins’ and such. For a cleanse to be effective you should eat organically. Cleansing will also help you clear yourself of yeast in your gut or Candida. Read Kevin Trudeau’s guidelines or get his book The Weight Loss Cure.

hello
started the diet 3 days ago..
In the morning I feel very light headed, very nautious, very sleepy,
Are these feeling going to go away..
I really really want to do this diet… But I stay in bed most of the day..
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated..
thanks
I am considering the hcg diet but need to know if my daily meds would be a problem….I take medications for hypothyroidism and an anti-depressant. Please let me know. Thanks
I’m having a bit of a problem with the download of Dr. Simeon’s protocol. Oh it downloaded just fine, but upon reading it I find a myriad of spelling errors that certainly would not have existed had it been officially written by an educated man as Dr. Simeon. I’m wondering, then, who actually did write this, and how accurate it is compared to the original. This is concerning to me, because there are so many versions of a so-called “protocol” out there, and they all vary enough to be confusing to a newcomer. Even the differences in the Simeon and the Trudeau protocol are different enough to make one wonder where to begin.
@ Nixmomma: I would do it know that way during the holidays you will be into the 3 weeks of 1500 calories. Yes if your husband is that active then increase the protein in his diet 1st then the veggies to meet the 800 calories.

We are starting very soon. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to do this during the holidays or do it now and then do my next round after the holidays? If we start now, we will be done in october, and that leave turkey day and xmas eatting open… im worried. Please help. Also, My husband, is 365 lbs and 6′3. he climbs up and down ships all day and works out in the elements. Could i give him 800 calories or something a little extra so he doesnt freak out too bad?
how many drops am i suppose to take? And at what time?
I TAKE MEDICENS THAT I HAVE TO TAKE DAILY. IS THERE ANY THAT WILL NOT MIX WITH THE DROPS. THANKS MARIE
If you had a hysterectamy, how will the hCG diet affect me?
Once you complete one full course on the hcg diet and need to start on the second course, do you also do the two day ‘gorge’ again?
Thanks, Bev
JUST STARTING THE HCG INJECTIONS TODAY…WILL I LOSE ON MY 2 GORGING DAYS???
If your on day 13 day what phase are you at??? Could you break down the phases for me. Your article has been the best one on explaining it in detail with days and numbers on hCG Diet.
When can I start eating the miracle noodles, I found them and bought them?
@ Heather: hCG Diet Approved Supplements these are the supplements Trudeau recommends. A good multivitamin is excellent. Which brand? Well I like Vitamin Shoppe or GNC’s brand but they are huge to swallow.
If you had to get down to bare bones, I would say a good multivitamin, L-Glutamine for cravings especially if you didn’t do a Candida cleanse. And the hCG Diet Teas. Only Eleotin if you are really having issues with cravings while on the diet and L-Glutamine isn’t helping or if you are a diabetic. It has been clinically shown to help with diabetes.

I’m going to start the drops soon, just getting prepared. I’m concerned about what vitamins and/or suppliments I need to be taking during this journey. Please let me know what I ‘need’, and what is ‘also recommended’:) Thank you
@ Elizabeth: Your Mileage May Vary. I did explain this on the home page I guess I should have made sure I did on all pages I used the YMMV.
HTH
Desiree
What is “YMMV” you use it a lot in this text.
@ Dotti: I really don’t know. Do you have a scale? I would weight it just like meats to be sure. Lettuce is very light and I doubt 1 cup is 8 oz.
Is one cup of lettuce equal to 8 ounces of lettuce?
@ Darla: No you don’t mix silver for injecting hCG. B-12 isn’t needed some do because B-12 gives energy and aids in fat lose. However you would get injectable B-12, but you mix hCG for injections with Bacteriostatic Water or Normal Saline for injection. That is very important that you buy ‘for injection’.
Here is the link for DIY hCG mixing instructions

I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure all this out if only I found ur site a few days ago! Thx…I do have a couple questions, with injections do I still need silver and B-12 and if so how much and do I mix it in with my shot or take it orally? And do I really have to change my shampoo and conditioner? Thank you
You may wan to try Protein Power or Atkins until you get the diabetes under control then you can try the hCG diet.
I am diebetic. Do you have a diet plan for me???? Thanks–
Thank you for simplifying the key components of Dr. Simeon s manuscript on the HCG diet. It is true that the HCG weight loss plan is a lifestyle change and not a magic fix. Continuing with this healthy lifestyle after you finish the HCG diet will ensure that you keep the pounds and inches off.
