Dr. Simeons, a doctor from Great Britain, developed a sensational weight loss program more than 60 years ago: the HCG metabolism cure, also known as the HCG diet or HCG metabolism diet. This diet uses the power of the body's own messenger substance HCG.
According to Dr. Simeons, HCG melts away the fat reserves that are difficult to combat with other diets. These are the problem areas on the hips, stomach, thighs and upper arms.
It is important to know that additional products are offered for the diet. However, you do not need them. If you stick to the original diet, the costs are manageable. Drops and vitamins are available for under €70. For less than €120 you can get products that help with detoxification and purification.
With the Dr. Simeons diet, it is possible to lose around 10% of your body weight, although the exact percentage depends on your gender. Men lose between 10% and 12% of their body weight, women between 8% and 10%. Expecting a greater weight loss is not realistic. The supporting drops are important because the 500-calorie diet would not be sustainable without them. The weight would go down, but you would have to put up with a constant feeling of hunger, tiredness and bad mood.
The diet helps you to get rid of annoying fat deposits. It neither disturbs your water balance nor does it reduce muscle mass. Those who follow the diet do not suffer from cravings. Your good mood remains just as good as your performance. The diet tightens your body contours and improves cellulite. The effect is also noticeable on your skin: it becomes soft and smooth.
The original principle that Dr. Simeons created in the 1960s has been further developed. Nowadays, drops are used instead of expensive and time-consuming hormone injections. These are also available hormone-free and are taken during the three-week diet. Homeopathically produced drops in higher potencies (from D12, C30) are not recommended. Injecting HCG is also not advisable, as side effects can occur. In addition to the diet, taking vital substances is strongly recommended. This provides the body with all the essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
An HCG diet must be followed for at least 21 days. It is possible to do two diet phases of 6 weeks without a break in between. However, after that, a break of six weeks or more is absolutely necessary before starting a third diet phase.
Immediately before the diet, two preparation days are necessary, the so-called feast days. It sounds paradoxical: on these days, the aim is to eat as much as possible. This is supposed to boost the metabolism.
Anything fatty is recommended on these two days. Above all, "healthy" fats and oils should be on the menu. These include salmon, nuts, avocados and olive oil. It is important that you consume plenty of energy. You need the calories to avoid feeling hungry during the first week of the diet. If you gain weight on these two days, that's no problem. The kilos will soon disappear.
You then go straight into phase 1 of the 21-day diet plan. Start taking the drops and vital substances on the first day and continue doing this daily throughout phase 1.
The rules of the diet are easy to follow: consume a maximum of 500 - 800 calories per day. Stick strictly to the foods suitable for this diet. Everything that is not expressly allowed is forbidden! Completely avoid fat, sugar, carbohydrates and alcohol. Fry in a coated pan, cook in aluminum foil and do not grease your grill. Use fresh or frozen foods. Drink at least 2 liters a day, preferably spring water or still water from a glass bottle.
Immediately after the diet, you enter phase 2: the stabilization phase. You stop taking the drops immediately and slowly return to your normal eating habits. You should keep an eye on your weight for the next three weeks. It should not increase again. Your metabolism should slowly return to normal.
Your body needs to get used to processing food again. Instead of eating three large meals, divide them into five or six smaller meals. Gradually reintroduce foods that you have avoided in the last few weeks. Food supplements can still be useful. Fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin E are allowed again.
