HCG 2.0 - A Modern Adaptation of the Traditional HCG Diet.

HCG 2.0 A Smarter Way to Lose

On the original HCG diet, these two people would be instructed to eat

the exact same number of calories daily: 500 per day.

6’5 man 5’2 woman

We’re all different! We all have different caloric and protein requirements.

Does it seem appropriate to measure food items in

grams rather than calories?

100 grams of beef

100 grams of salmon

Let’s look at these foods again, noting their calories…

100 grams of beef

100 grams of salmon

248 calories

146 calories

Basic food chemistry, which was primitive at best when the traditional HCG diet was developed, tells us that it is inaccurate to compare food items based on weight rather

than caloric value.

These inadequacies, along with others were the

inspiration behind HCG 2.0.

HCG 2.0 is a safer and smarter way to lose,

making it a realistic weight loss option for the average

working adult.

Before we discuss the specifics of HCG 2.0,

let’s briefly define HCG and explain how it facilitates healthy

weight loss.

HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.

HCG is a hormone that is produced by the placenta during pregnancy.

Its sole purpose is to spark the metabolization of stored fat in order to provide a 24/7 calorie

source for the growing baby.

An Interesting Observation…Dr. A.T. W. Simeons, while doing humanitarian

work abroad, often in poverty stricken 3rd world countries, was astonished by the fact that

extremely malnourished women could give birth to healthy, full-weight babies.

Through research, he found the hormone HCG to be responsible.

How does HCG work?Typically, as a species, the human body wants to

retain calories as a defense mechanism to protect against long winters or famine –

conditions that rarely exist today.

It does so by storing away excess calories in our fat cells.

There is an exception.When a woman becomes pregnant, just as the baby needs a

24/7 oxygen supply, it also needs a 24/7 calorie supply.

Enter HCG!

A pregnant woman’s placenta begins producing

the hormone HCG to ensure this 24/7 calorie supply for healthy neo-natal

development.

However, In the absence of a pregnancy, HCG can be supplemented in combination with a low calorie

diet to produce the same effect.

To Summarize – HCG allows us to sustain ourselves on the unwanted fat stored in our bellies, thighs, arms, etc.

It’s important to remember that HCG is NOT what causes your weight loss.

Your weight loss is a result of your low-calorie

diet.

So, how does HCG help meLOSE WEIGHT?

HCG facilitates healthy weightloss in 3 ways!

1. HCG targets your weight loss so that you maintain muscle

mass while strictly losing from unwanted and abnormal fat

reserves.

2. HCG suppresses appetite by enhancing Ketosis, which is a healthy metabolic process that

converts our fat reserves to usable calories, allowing us to sustain ourselves on our own stored

fat. By summoning calories from stored fat, our

body reacts as though it has just consumed a meal, thus producing a feeling of satiety,

fullness and content.“If you’re hungry, you’re doing it wrong.” ~Dr. Zach

3. Following the low calorie phase– By acting on a gland in the brain

called the hypothalamus, which is responsible for regulating metabolic

activity, including hunger and satiety, HCG has the capacity to “reset” your metabolism

allowing you to successfully maintain your weight loss.

• Dr. Simeons’ HCG protocol, 1954

• Dr. Zach LaBoube’s HCG 2.0, 2013

How is HCG 2.0 different than the original HCG protocol?

Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:

Loading days focus on fatty foods and sugars

(carbs)

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

Loading days focus onfatty foods with more Emphasis on Omega 3 Fats and fewer carbs.


Very Low Calorie Phase (VLCD) allows 500

calories for each dieter, male or female, big or

small.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

Low Calorie Phase is individualized, using

one’s BMR to calculate allowed calories.


VLCD includes inappropriate ratio of carbs to protein with

items like melba toast, fruit and root veggies.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

Low Calorie Phase emphasis is on lean protein with limited carbs and no sugar.


VLCD doesn’t allow food for breakfast, only coffee

or tea.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

Low Calorie Phase recommends a high protein, low calorie breakfast within 30 minutes of waking.


VLCD restricts proteins to only 100g of chicken, white fish, and lean beef.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

Proteins are ranked by P/FC number. This number is used to determine portion

sizes. The higher the

number, the larger the allowed portion size.


VLCD is strict about eating only certain vegetables and not

mixing them.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

Low Calorie Phase allows unlimited

vegetables, mixed if desired, as long as total carbs remain

under 30g/day.


VLCD does not allow dieter to use certain skin

products, shampoos, and/or cosmetics.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

Low Calorie Phase has no restrictions on any of these

types of products. As long as carb count remains below

30g, they’re of little concern.


Dieter weighs him/herself every day.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

It is recommended that dieter weigh in only once per week.


Exercise is not allowed.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

Dieter should continue pre-diet exercise

routine, and/or consider walking 20-30 minutes

before breakfast.


Limited choices for food and drink on the VCLD.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

New food and drink items (like Crystal Light and

protein shakes) give the dieter more options to

keep them motivated and accommodate busy lifestyles. Any zero calorie drinks are

allowed.


Maintenance diet is vague at best.

HCG 2.0 Protocol:

HCG 2.0 outlines very specific maintenance diet

consisting of 40/40/20, with 1:1 of Omega 3s to

6s
