What is HCG Phase 1?

Is Phase One Required When Starting HCG?

HCG Phase 1

If there is Phase 2 and Phase 3 where did Phase 1 go?

 We always hear Phase 2 and Phase 3 being talked about when referring to the HCG Protocol.

What is HCG Phase 1?

For most people Phase 1 is considered  the Loading Phase.

The Other Phase One:

The Author of the book below hasn’t always done the “right thing” in business. But what he did do right was believe in Dr Simeone’s Pounds & Inches research.

Let me explain…

Well a very clever business man named Kevin Trudeau highly respected Dr Simeon and his research and decided to share Dr Simeon’s theory by writing a book The Weight Loss Cure They Don’t Want You to Know About.

Of course to write the book and make it his own it would require additional information.

So he set out to add his spin on the original protocol. In this case I am not saying the word “spin” is bad – It just is what it is. There is always something a person can learn from a different view, all I want to do is help inform then you can take from it what you want.

Phase 1 in a Nutshell

This phase is not required, I didn’t do this phase prior to my HCG journey but had done a cleanse a few months before.

Plus the author who recommend Phase 1 said based on today’s conditions it is highly recommended. The author felt this phase addresses and corrects many of the new underlying causes of obesity that Simeons did not contend with in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

But he went on to say that if you skip this phase, or do it halfheartedly you can still achieve spectacular results in HCG Phase 2.

This  phase 1 consists of a series of Do’s and Don’ts.

It may be difficult for most people to do all the steps in this phase with strict adherence.

The idea was to do Phase 1 for the thirty days prior to starting Phase 2.

The author said the more you do in this phase will result in losing more weight faster during Phase 2. And will accelerate the fat and weight loss in Phase 2, plus make the whole protocol easier to complete. He went on to say the more you do in this phase will greatly increase your ability to keep the weight off permanently and eliminate food cravings in the future.

Much of what the author listed on the “Do List” is different supplements and enzymes that many HCGers including me have used and talked about.

Along with simple logic –Drink plenty of water; be active for good circulation etc.

Don’t eat after 6 p.m. Eat 6 small meals through out the day – you get the idea. The basics we have all read for just about every food plan out there.

Other natural good for you ideas are asked to be implemented  as well– Apple Cider Vinegar, coconut oil, use spices that help with metabolism, and eating certain fruits for good digestion are also listed.

In the next few posts I will explain in more detail the theory behind these suggestions and what I feel can help whether before, during or after your HCG journey. Heck, even if you chose not to use the HCG method.

I will share my experience with these suggestions and the benefits of incorporating some of them. Plus easier ways to utilize these and why I think they can really help you too!
