The Original Protocol
If you've done some research on the protocol, you may have found websites that advocate changing the rules. Wonder why? The more rules you change, the slower your weight loss and the more product they hope to sell you. [more]
I’ve tried every “diet” under the sun! Will the HCG Protocol work for me?
The best answer to this is to read through Dr. Simeons manuscript Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity. Dr. Simeons goes into
great detail about what kind of fat the HCG will be able to take care of -- start reading from page 4. As long as you meet the
criteria set forth by Dr. Simeons in Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity then HCG will work for you; whether you are male, female, young, old, vegan, vegetarian, etc.

My friend lost weight with the injections, so will the drops work the same?
While the drops are as effective as the injections there are a few differences. The
drops should be used for no less than 23 days but can be
continued for as long as 60 days before taking a break. There is no
need to take a break one day a week nor is it necessary for women to stop
taking them during the menstrual cycle. Because refrigeration is not necessary, the drops are
easy to take wherever you may need to go.
Can I/ Should I exercise while on the protocol?
We recommend that you do not incorporate NEW forms of exercise during the VLCD, although non-strenuous movement like walking, yoga (no hothouse) or stretching for up to an hour a day has shown to be fine.
If you have been on a regular exercise routine prior to doing Protocol, you may continue. You may find that after a week or so you no longer have the stamina to work out at the same pace. This is normal and is not cause for alarm. At this point, we would suggest that you cut back on the duration and intensity of your routine.
After completing VLCD, we have found it best to not add new (or increase) exercise until you have completed your first week of Maintenance 1. Remember to increase your calorie intake accordingly to accommodate your exercise routine.
What should I do before my order arrives?
Read Dr. Simeons Protocol manuscript titled Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity.
Take notes, write down questions, contact us for
better understanding. The only 'dumb' question is the one that's
never asked.
Do the drops need to be refrigerated?
No - the drops go where you go without refrigeration! The only time to refrigerate them is if you have an open bottle that will not be used for a month or more. Don't leave the bottles in extreme temperatures, like in your car in summer or winter.
When is a good time to start the Protocol?
It is best to begin when you have the time necessary to
devote to completing the Protocol. Women should begin after
their menstrual cycle. The bottom line is that the Protocol is
easiest to adhere to when there aren't any major events (like
birthdays, holidays, weddings, etc), or business/personal travel
days. This is because it is necessary to purchase foods that need to
be prepared at home. Cooking from scratch takes time but allows you
to better enjoy the flavors of the foods.
I’m ready to start my Load days, are there any foods off limits?
The purpose of the Load days is to eat foods that are high in fat. This
tells your cells that there is an abundance of fat, so that when you
start the VLCD days, your cells will be happy to release thousands
of fat calories into your system for elimination. If you do
not eat enough fat during the load days, your cells may go into
starvation mode where instead of releasing excess fat, they hold
onto it. You would likely also have an issue with hunger for
at least the first week.
Aim for high fat foods, such as eggs,
cheese, bacon, sausage, fried foods, ice cream, cheesecake, etc.
You will feel very full so be smart about it. For example, a
loaded baked potato will fill you up, whereas you can get as much
fat from a big bowl of ice cream and feel less stuffed.
Starches and sugars aren't important - stick with the high fat foods
and you'll be very happy with your results.
Should I start my drops after my two load days?
The dosage must be started on the first morning of the first load day. This
gives it two full days to integrate into the body so that the
effects are present from the first day of VLCD.
How closely must we follow the food plan? Can I substitute one vegetable for another?
In a nutshell, NO SUBSTITUTIONS!
Dr. Simeons spent many years researching an exhaustive number of food
combinations, and the foods listed are the ones that gave the best
and most consistent results. Some exceptions or adjustments may be
allowed but these are to be made only by
someone with complete understanding of the Protocol. Exceptions or
adjustments made without this understanding may result in slowed
weight loss or complete stall. If you are vegetarian or vegan,
please ask for the appropriate food list for your needs.
How many drops should I take each day?
Contrary to the misinformation found in many places, the correct dosage is 60 drops per day.
Dr. Simeons' dosing suggestions for injections are to take no less
than 125 International Units (IU) but no more than 200 IUs daily.
This converts to taking the drops at doses of no less than 250 IUs
but no more than 400 IUs, as shown here:
| MyHCGPlus | the "other" sites |
| 60 drops = 250 IU | 30 drops = 125 IU |
| 72 drops = 300 IU | 36 drops = 150 IU |
| 84 drops = 350 IU | 42 drops = 175 IU |
Ideally, take 10 drops 6x per day. If that isn't practical with your schedule, try 12 drops 5x per day or 20 drops 3x per day. The most effective dosing is frequent doses of smaller portions.
Why are you selling six ounces of drops for a 43 day plan when other sites sell three ounces for the same plan? Is yours more diluted? How many drops do we take a day?
The drops sold by us are the same drops that are sold by many other websites, from the same U.S. manufacturer. The difference is that (1) we get them directly from the manufacturer, eliminating the costly middleman to keep our prices significantly lower; and (2) we've done our homework and we refuse to mislead you on the dosage. We want you to reach your goal in the minimum number of rounds of the Protocol as possible.
In her book, The HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide, Linda Prinster compares the strength of the injections to the strength of the drops and states that to achieve the same weight loss results with the drops as with the injections, the dosage of the drops must be doubled. This means that instead of starting at 125 IUs (30 drops) you must begin at 250 IUs (60 drops)--see the table above for clarification. We take this into consideration and include the correct amount of drops to complete each plan with 60 drops per day. It should be noted that our prices for each plan, even with double the dosage, are lower than many other sites, but no other company comes close to our level of support.
Where do I buy a kitchen scale and the stevia drops?
Just look in our online store! We offer an abundance of products you may want to use while on the Protocol, including scales, stevia, flavor drops, oil-free personal care products, and much more.
Can I have diet soda while I’m on the VLCD?
No. Diet soda contains various forms of chemically produced sugar. Drinking them will definitely impede weight loss.
You CAN have natural sparkling mineral water like Perrier, and you'll find many recipes on our website that use Capella Flavor Drops and Liquid Stevia Drops to make it taste just like diet soda.
Is it normal to have a headache and upset stomach after starting the drops?
Yes, it’s normal but preventable. For most the headache and stomach upset comes from sugar/starch withdrawals. These will subside after a few days adhering to the
VLCD. Some may experience blood sugar fluctuations which need to be brought to our attention so we can help make necessary adjustments. Any headache,
dizziness, etc that persists or lasts longer than 7 days needs to be evaluated by your physician.
Should I stop all pills and multivitamins when I start the Protocol? What about B12 shots?
Only your health care provider can tell you if prescription medications can be stopped while going through the Protocol. Dr. Simeons recommends going off all medications as well as vitamin/mineral supplements. While vitamin B-12 may help increase energy levels it is necessary to bring all B-vitamins up to the same percentage before increasing one further.
For this reason, if someone would like to include B-12 in their routine it would be better to include a B-Complex (25, 50, 75, or 100). It is important to note
that the RDA of vitamin/minerals is the amount necessary to keep from becoming deficient. Some supplements/medications may interfere with weight loss.
Should I take the drops while on my period?
The drops may be taken every day of the month.
Should I start Maintenance 1 the first day I’m out of drops?
No! You must stay on the VLCD for a full 72 hours after your last day of drops. This is the time it
takes for drops to completely leave your body. After 72 hours you can safely
introduce the Maintenance 1 foods. Maintenance is a critical part of the Protocol and you will have access to our guides and resources in your PCA.
How long will the weight I’ve lost on the Protocol stay off?
As long as Maintenance is followed precisely AND necessary lifestyle changes are made, you may expect to maintain the new weight with little effort.
It is important to check your weight frequently and use the steak day tool upon the gain of more than two pounds.
