    About this ebook

    Licensed nurse, Sonia Russell, LPN is recognized as a leading expert in hCG diet research and weight loss safety. Many dieters have claimed to be weak, tired, complain of hunger, frequent headaches and hair loss on the original 500 calorie VLCD. The HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol was developed from years of patient data obtained in the clinical setting to provide the dieter with a safer, effective and more comfortable plan.

    The 800 Calorie Protocol includes the use of vitamins and minerals, adding breakfast, more protein sources, an extra fruit serving, and more food choices. The results have shown to yield the same, if not better weight loss when compared to the original 500 calorie protocol. The modified version also includes an improved phase 3 stabilization plan by removing certain foods that many dieters have been known to overindulge upon.

    The 800 Calorie Protocol teaches the principals of eating clean by prohibiting canned and processed foods, fat free/sugar free store bought foods or products containing preservatives, flavor enhancers, pesticides, herbicides, sugar substitutes, corn syrups or hormones. The dieter will learn healthier ways to grocery shop, read food labels, and prepare and cook healthier foods.

    The HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol Second Edition contains detailed updates to each phase of the 800 Calorie Protocol including new stall breaking techniques, egg white protein alternatives, approved breakfast protein shakes, updates to the phase 2 food guide, phase 2 allowable water veggies, more delicious phase 2 and 3 recipes, sample menus for phases 2 and 3, a detailed phase 3 stabilization plan, dieter testimonials, all required hCG essentials, updated hCG diet FAQ's, recommended supplements, calorie counting charts, and exercise routines.

      HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol Second Edition - Sonia E. Russell

      Why was the ‘original’ 500 calorie hCG Diet   Protocol modified?

      Recently in the news and on many popular morning talk shows, the hCG diet has been stirring up quite a bit of debate as to its safety. A large majority of medical professionals who practice traditional weight loss avoid treating their weight management patients with hCG therapy because they feel it is unsafe at 500 calories per day. There are very few doctors nationally who prescribe the hormone to their patients.

      Many dieters have claimed to be weak, tired, and complain of hunger and frequent headaches on 500 calories, but have plenty of energy on the 800 without the hunger or headaches.   Many report they have lost hair on 500 calories, but not on the 800 calorie plan.   Dieters have also reported they have been able to lose the same if not better on the 800 and have maintained their weight loss. Those who have chosen the 800 Calorie Protocol feel it is a safer, more healthful plan. Many physicians agree and have begun incorporating the hCG diet 800 Calorie Protocol in their weight management practices.   

      There is so much more to the protocol revision than just adding 300 calories. These additional calories are mostly from protein sources.. Breakfast is included in the program in addition to specific nutritional supplements, more allowable foods to choose from, and more often. The 800 Calorie Protocol does not allow any canned or processed foods, fat free/sugar free store bought foods or products   that contain antibiotics, preservatives, flavor enhancers, pesticides, sugar substitutes, corn syrups, herbicides, or hormones.

      The obesity epidemic in America is outrageous and it is not the only country dealing with this issue. My belief is that the HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol will help more Americans, and hCG dieters across the globe, to lose weight safely and assist in reducing weight related disease. Positive reports on the benefits of this protocol have already come in from hCG dieters in Canada, Ireland, and the UK.

      This protocol will teach the dieter how to change their past eating habits by learning the healthiest ways to grocery shop, read food labels, prepare and cook healthier foods.

      Foreword

      By Dean Yannello

      In 2007, I owned a medical weight loss clinic and hired Sonia to work with our medical director that prescribed Rx hCG for weight loss. Little did I know that down the road she would be recognized as one of the leading experts in hCG diet therapy and weight loss safety. Today, she is now my business partner and together we have developed one of the largest coaching support groups on Facebook and have published 5 books on the 800 calorie hCG diet. I've met very few people with Sonia's passion and dedication to help others succeed in their weight loss journey. It's no surprise that her extensive research and knowledge have made her a valued resource for many physicians who wish to offer hCG as a weight loss therapy to their patients and are seeking leading-edge guidance on this protocol. Sonia has helped thousands of dieters improve their health and prevent obesity related disease. She is a shining star!

      Introduction

      The hCG Diet: What is it?

      The hCG diet was discovered by a British endocrinologist, Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, who was always looking for cures for current-day medical problems.

      Dr. Simeons had already pioneered an anti-malaria drug and studied bubonic plague and leprosy in India when he turned his attention to weight-loss and obesity in the 1950’s.

      One day, a woman came to his office in Rome for a weight-loss consultation. He was on the phone as she sat down and when he looked up at her, he noticed she was emaciated. Her skin was dry and loose, her collarbone and ribs protruding. He hung up the phone and was about to tell her she had the wrong doctor when she stood up. I know you think I’m mad, but just wait.

      As she rounded his desk, he saw that she had enormous hips and thighs below her small waist.

      Dr. Simeons had studied a hormone called hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin). hCG is produced in the placenta of pregnant women. It converts stored body fat into nutrition for the baby.

      The HCG hormone was being extracted from the urine of pregnant women and given to young boys suffering from Froehlich Syndrome. These were the so called fat boys with oversized breasts and undersized sexual organs. He had noticed that the HCG helped the boys lose their appetites and inches around their hips.

      Dr. Simeons treated the woman with 125 IU’s (international units) of pharmaceutical HCG via daily IM injections. Within 8 weeks, she lost 8 inches around her hips. He claimed by using the hCG, combined with a calorie-restricted diet and a 30 minute daily walk, the woman was able to get rid of her reserve fat.

      By 1967, weight-loss patients from around the world flocked to Dr. Simeon’s clinic in Rome. He was treating Hollywood starlets, royalty, the rich and famous.

      He was spending enormous amounts of time telling other doctors and hospitals about his HCG diet, so he put together a protocol titled, Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity.

      His claim: Men and women who used the hCG diet had no headaches, hunger pains, weakness or irritability and lost on average a pound a day.

      By the 1970s, hCG was the most widely administered obesity medication in the United States, but it was only approved by the FDA as a fertility drug. So in 1976, the Federal Trade Commission ordered Dr. Simeons to stop claiming his hCG program was safe or approved by the FDA for weight control. The order did not stop the clinics from using hCG. It just required that patients be informed in writing the following:

      HCG has not been demonstrated to be an effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or normal distribution of fat or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.

      Dr. Simeons originally put his patients on a strict 500 calorie diet with very tight controls on exactly which foods could be used.   Dr. Simeons prohibited his patients from use of regular medications prescribed by their physician, however, because he required his patients to see him every day, he could resume a specific medication if needed. His patients were not allowed to eat breakfast or take any vitamins except for coral calcium. They could only take hCG by intramuscular injection.

      The new 800 calorie hCG diet protocol suggests a daily calorie intake between 550-800 which has been found to be more tolerable, much safer, and has produced similar weight loss results. The body is technically starving if a less than 800 calorie diet has been consumed for the day. It is suggested to stay between 725-750 calories daily to prevent going above the 800 daily limit. This increase in calories has enabled my patients to complete the entire 6 weeks with reduced complaints of hunger, weakness, and headaches. The additional calories added to the protocol were mostly obtained from adding more protein sources providing 3 major benefits.   Protein:

      1. Assists in preserving lean muscle mass

      2. Increases fat burning

      3. Helps curb appetite by up to 40 % throughout the day

      I have found that combining the following guidelines will result in maximizing your success:

      1. Stay below 800 calories

      2. Higher protein intake compared to the original (increase your intake of protein)

      3. Follow the food guide provided

      4. Take a daily whole-food multi-vitamin/mineral and suggested supplements

      5. Eat breakfast and snacks

      6. Continuing all prescription medications

      7. Participate in light cardio aerobic exercise or physical activity for 30 minutes daily

      8. Drink half your body weight in ounces daily

      9. Have good coaching support

      10. Maintain an accurate daily food journal

      11. Stay POP and you will DROP. (POP-Perfect on Protocol)

      The thousands of patients I have coached have successfully lost weight while taking hCG without the effects of feeling tired and hungry. In addition, many have reported an increase in energy and motivation.   Most women who carefully follow the new hCG Diet Protocol have lost, on average, a half a pound per day or 20 to 35 pounds in 40 days. Men who carefully follow the new 800 hCG Diet Protocol tend to lose more, about a pound per day or 35 to 45 pounds.

      As a licensed health care professional, I feel it is imperative to educate the hCG dieter on how to lose weight safely while on the hCG diet or any restricted-calorie weight loss plan. Modern medicine and nutritional information has vastly improved since the 1950’s when the original protocol was first discovered. My goal is for you to learn why a healthier approach to the original protocol will have a positive effect on your body’s response to weight loss and assist in the prevention of weight-related diseases.

      Please make sure you have approval from your physician before beginning any restricted-calorie diet.

      hCG Weight Loss Clinical Studies

      Successful Weight Loss Intervention Using a Modified hCG Diet

      In 2010, the President of the ASBP performed a 6-week successful clinical study on a modified 800 calorie hCG diet with the use of sublingual Rx hCG hormone. 19 hCG patients were compared with 19 patients using an 800 calorie daily meal replacement diet without hCG. "Results: The modified hCG diet patients lost an average of 19.84 lbs in 6 weeks, whereas the meal replacement patients lost 14.75 lbs. The average decrease in BMI in the hCG group was 3.18 and 2.48 in the meal replacement group." Conclusion: Sublingual hCG appeared to be significantly better in weight loss than a similar meal replacement diet of comparable protein and calorie composition. The results revealed a relatively rapid weight loss in 6 weeks with preservation of lean body mass. Furthermore, it appears that this approach could have a benefit to the patients in that they demonstrated reduced usage of controlled substances for appetite. As this study revealed that sublingual hCG with a modified diet was beneficial to patients in assisting them with weight loss...

      Effect of human chorionic gonadotrophin on weight loss, hunger, and feeling of well-being

      Authored by: W. L. Asher, MD and Harold W. Harper, MD

      Twenty female patients on 500- to 550- kcal diets receiving daily injections of 125 IU of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) were compared with 20 female patients on 500- to 550-kcal diets receiving placebo injections. Patients in both groups were instructed to return for daily injections 6 days each week for a total of 36 injections (unless desired weight was achieved prior to this). The hCG group lost significantly more mean weight, had a significantly greater mean weight loss per injection, and lost a significantly greater mean percentage of their starting weight. The percentage of affirmative daily patient responses indicating little or no hunger and feeling good to excellent was significantly greater
