This document provides guidelines for transitioning off the hCG diet and into maintenance. It outlines a 4-week transition phase with gradually increasing calorie and food intake. Week 1 focuses on protein, vegetables, and limited fruit. Week 2 adds beans or rice to one meal. Week 3 increases fruits and adds beans/rice to two meals. Week 4 allows beans/rice at three meals. It stresses the importance of weighing daily and avoiding weight gain over 2 pounds during transition.

For the For-Ever Slim Dieter
Duringthe first 3 Daysafter your sublingual oral
hCG dose, you MUSTfollow exactly the Phase 2
foodsas in VLCD (See below).
 Begin counting the 72 hours from the
time of the last dose.
 Duringthe 72 hours, a slight increase in
diet, such as an extra apple, 150 gram of
meat or extra breadsticks may be
allowed (if) a person feelsmuch
hungrier and has lack of energy.
 Your body has been flooded with hCG; it
should take about 72 hoursfor it to
leave the body.
 Weigh yourself daily as it takes about three weeksbefore the weight
reached at the end of Phase 2 treatment becomes stable. A fluctuation
of 1 or 2 poundsisnormalat this point. This will be your weight
allowance for 4 weeks.
This is the first 72 hoursfrom your last dose of
sublingualdrops. Remember, hCG is still in your
body system. Any deviation can cause weight gain.

PHASE 3 INITIATION
Lunch/Dinner:
 1st Day 800 calories @ 150 gramsprotein
 2Nd Day 1000 calories@ 200 gramsprotein
 3rd Day 1200 calories@ 250 gramsprotein
THE FOUR WEEK RULE: TRANSITION
 Increase to 3 times the amountof vegetables
 Consume the same amount of fruit
 Drink 8-8 ounce glasses of water per day
 Drink one full glass before each meal
As long as your weight stays within two poundsof
the weight reached on the day of the last
sublingualdrop, you should notbe overly
concerned with an increase. The first 4 weeks are
Dr. Simeons Transitionalweeks.
After your goalweight is reached, complete Phase 3 followed by the
beginning three weeks of Phase 4 maintenancewhich is when you
SLOWLY begin to add back in sugar and starch as you follow the
requirementnot to gain or lose morethan 2 lbs.

4. P a g e | 4
PHASE 4 INITIATION
Transition: This is for the next three weeks.
 Check your weight every morning.
 Fluctuation of 1 to 5 poundsisnormal (so don’tpanic).
WEIGHTGAIN WARNING:
As long as your weight stays within two pounds of the
weight reached on the day of the last sublingual drops,
clients should take no notice of any increase. The day
you weigh yourself in the morning and the scale goes
beyond two pounds, even if this is only a few ounces
over two pounds, you must do the following. On that
same day (not the next day) entirely skip breakfast and
lunch but consume plenty liquids. In the evening
consume a large size steak with only an apple or a raw
tomato. Of course this rule applies only to the morning
weight. In most cases your weight will then be brought
back to within two pounds of the last sublingual drops.
If the meals skipped are on the day in which a gain is
registered in the morning this brings about an almost
immediate drop of often over a pound by the next day
(next morning weigh in). But if the skipping of meals -
and skipping means literally skipping, not just having a light meal are postponed ~
the phenomenon does not occur and several days of strict dieting may be necessary
to correct the situation. It is of utmost importance that the meals skipped are on the
same day as the scale registers an increase of more than two pounds and that
missing meals are not postponed until the following day.
It takes about 3 weeks before the weight reached at the end of the treatment
becomes stable, i.e. does not show violent fluctuations after an occasional excess.
During this period clients must realize that carbohydrates, that are sugar, rice,
bread, potatoes, pastries etc, are by far the most dangerous. If no carbohydrates
whatsoever are eaten, fats can be indulged somewhat more liberally and even small
quantities of alcohol, such as a glass of wine with meals, does no harm, but as soon
as fats and starch are combined things are very liable to get out of hand.
This has to be observed very carefully during the first 3 weeks after the treatment is
ended otherwise disappointments are almost sure to occur.

WEEK ONE
Most clients are surprised how small their appetite
has become and yet how much they can eat without
gaining weight. In most cases you will no longer
suffer from an abnormal appetite and feel satisfied

much of their first normal meal, which they have
been planning for weeks.

HEALTHY NUTRITION
A Health Promoting Diet
 Reducefat intake to 15-20% of total calories.
Choose health-promoting fats (essential
fatty acids) and avoid saturated and
hydrogenated (trans-) fats.
 Eat adequate protein (0.8 g/kg body
weight daily)from lean sources;
includingwild fish from cold, deep-
water, organic poultry and eggs,
legumes, beef, low-fat fermented dairy
products, nutsand seeds.
 Eat adequate vegetables, fruitsand
whole grains. These foodscontain
invaluablemicronutrients,
photochemical, antioxidantsand
fiber. Minimum daily fiber intake should
be 30 grams.
 Eliminate the intake of refined sugar and refined carbohydrates,
processed foods, alcohol and caffeine.
 Reduceexposureto pesticides and herbicides. Buy organic whenever
possible. Fresh food is always preferableto frozen food and frozen food
is always preferableto canned food.
 Eliminate the intake of artificial food additives, colors and preservatives.
 Keep salt intake low and potassium intake high.
 Drink adequatewater—generally 64 ouncesdaily.

WATER CONSUMPTION
Inadequatewater intake putssignificant stress on the body. Think of water as
the solventthat it is—it goes in clean and comes outdirty, carryingtoxins out
of the body. Each day our body requiresan intake of over two quarts of water,
in order to function optimally. Partof that water comes from our fruitand
vegetable intake. The more produceyou eat, the less water you’llneed to
consumein addition to diet.
Coffee, tea, sodas, fruit juices, etc. actually add to the dehydrationproblem
through their diureticeffectsfromcaffeine and sugars. Freshfruit juice should
be diluted with water (1:1)beforeconsumingit, in order to glean its health
benefits while offsetting its diuretic effect.
As a general rule, consume64 ouncesof water daily, in addition to diet. Add
another 8 ounces of water for each cup of coffee, tea, and soda or fruitjuice
consumed. Add another 8 ouncesfor each half hour of exercise daily. (Heavier
peopleneed more water daily. The rule-of-thumbfor water requirementsfor
heavier individualsisone-third of the body weight in ounces, plus8 ounces
for each diuretic beverage and half hour of exercise, as described above.)
Choose filtered water that is free of chlorine, microorganisms, solvents, heavy
metals, etc. Mineralwater (as compared to distilled water) may preventthe
leaching mineralsfrom the body—it’sdebatable.

movement. A total of 1 tablespoon a day.
3 .Vitamin and mineral supplement: Don’tforgetyour supplements. You

one already.
4. B-12/LipotropicSublingualdrops: These are fat burningadditivesand
energy boosts. Clients allergic to eggs should not take the B-12 with M.I.C.
Read the pharmacy label on the M.I.C. as it may give a warningon sulfa
allergies. Many clientswill ask their MD for a B-12 shot which is then
directed directly into the blood system. Wehighly recommend this.
5. AloeVera Juice: This may help with inflammation & overall good health.
Remember, one of the dysfunctions of the hypothalamusis inflammation.
Aloe Vera Juice may help to improveimmunefunctions, high anti-oxidant
value, anti-fungal, anti-bacteria, anti-microbial, anti-viral, and better
protection from endotoxemia. Follow the directions on the container or as
directed by a physician.
6. Flax Seed/Tri Magnesium: May aid in elimination, energy & overall
health.

7. Cosmetics: When no dietary error is elicited weturn to cosmetics. Most
women find it hard to believe that fats, oils, creamsand ointments applied
to the skin are absorbed and interferewith weight reduction by HCG justas
if they had been eaten. This almost incredible sensitivity to even such very
minor increases in nutritionalintake is a peculiar featureof the HCG
method. For instance, we find that personswho habitually handle organic
fats, such as workersin beauty parlors, masseurs, butchers, etc. never show
what we consider a satisfactory loss of weight unlessthey can avoid fat
coming into contact with their skin.
