The document summarizes the differences between the original HCG diet protocol developed in 1954 and the updated HCG 2.0 protocol. Some key differences include: HCG 2.0 individualizes calorie intake based on metabolic rate rather than a strict 500 calories for all, emphasizes higher protein and lower carb intake during the low calorie phase, allows for breakfast and exercise, and provides more flexibility and options to make the diet sustainable long-term. The goal of HCG 2.0 is to create a safer and smarter version of the HCG diet that can result in realistic and maintained weight loss for the average person.

1. HCG 2.0
A Smarter Way to Lose

2. 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.

3. Does it seem appropriate to
measure food items in grams
rather than calories?
100 grams
of beef
100 grams
of salmon

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Before we discuss the
specifics of HCG 2.0,
let’s briefly define HCG
and explain how it
facilitates healthy
weight loss.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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!

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. So, how does HCG help me
LOSE WEIGHT?

14. HCG facilitates healthy weight
loss in 3 ways!
1. HCG targets your weight loss
so that you maintain muscle mass
while strictly losing from unwanted
and abnormal fat reserves.

15. 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

16. 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.

17. How is HCG 2.0 different
.
than the original HCG protocol?
• Dr. Simeons’ HCG protocol, • Dr. Zach LaBoube’s HCG 2.0,
1954
2013

18. Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
Loading days focus on
fatty foods and sugars
(carbs)
HCG 2.0 Protocol:
Loading days focus on
fatty foods with more
Emphasis on Omega 3
Fats and fewer carbs.

19. Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
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.

20. Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
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.

21. Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
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.

22. HCG 2.0 Protocol:
Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
VLCD restricts proteins to
only 100g of chicken,
white fish, and lean beef.
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.

23. Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
HCG 2.0 Protocol:
VLCD is strict about
eating only certain
vegetables and not
mixing them.
Low Calorie Phase
allows unlimited
vegetables, mixed if
desired, as long as total
carbs remain under
30g/day.

24. Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
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.

25. Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
Dieter weighs him/herself
every day.
HCG 2.0 Protocol:
It is recommended that
dieter weigh in only
once per week.

26. Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
Exercise is not allowed.
HCG 2.0 Protocol:
Dieter should continue
pre-diet exercise routine,
and/or consider walking
20-30 minutes before
breakfast.

27. HCG 2.0 Protocol:
Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
Limited choices for food
and drink on the VCLD.
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.

28. Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol:
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
