The hCG protocol is NOT just another diet program? It is so much
more than that, as Dr. Sellman clearly delineates throughout this
book. It is an entirely new paradigm for permanent weight loss,
chiefly because it addresses what is missing in most other regimens
—the root cause of obesity, which is a disregulated hypothalamus.
This concept is not common knowledge, nor is it well understood. In these pages, Dr. Sellman reveals the facts about: The real causes of obesity. Why exercise and reduced calories do not work anymore. Why all fat is not equal. How hCG releases only toxic fat stores. Why homeopathic hCG DOES work and more.

Easy read, and easy to understand

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 26 ottobre 2014

Acquisto verificato

Easy read, and easy to understand. The book contains some history of the hCG plan, a little of the science involved and lots of success stories from people who have followed this plan. A good, simple introduction to this optimum health plan/weight loss regime.

Best Book on hCG Diet

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 5 dicembre 2013

Acquisto verificato

The most informative book on the hCG diet I have read thus far. Comprehensive and well researched. Easy for the layperson to read. Lots of extras e.g. recipes, interviews with medical practitioners and FAQs that make it a "go to" book for anyone interested in doing the diet.

I started out 12 stone 3Lb and lost 1 Lb a day but you must not stray from 1 veg 100 grams with 1 protein of 100 grams.
I lost 1 and a half stone in 4 weeks, I would of done it in three weeks if I followed the diet to the letter and not added extra veg and no more then 100 grams.

WARNING: NOT A THERAPUETIC MANUAL - This book is no substitute for "Saint" Simeons' original manuscript

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 31 agosto 2011

Acquisto verificato

WARNING ! this book fails miserably as a therapeutic guide for the HCG Protocol
but it does a great job of sensationalizing a serious medical protocol therapy as it would a "diet craze" - the authors adding their own proverbial and literal "candy coatings" to make the protocol diet and transitional diet seem easy, but courting disaster for the reader considering or doing the protocol, who might be a sufferer of unremovable fat, a body trending towards an obesity condition.

Please note I found some interesting information in this book, but have read:

Dr. A.T.W. Simeons' Protocol, "Pounds and Inches: the HCG Protocol"

and a new book, the first intelligent book I could find about the HCG protocol,

"Weight-Loss Apocalypse: Emotional Eating Rehab Through the hCG Protocol" by R.P. Woodall, who has guided hundreds of cases of HCG protocol, and the book shows it.

Having guided my wife successfully through one "course" (or "round") of the hCG protocol (she will need one more course to "bottom out") I was very disappointed with the hazardous shortcomings of "the Promise of hCG" some of which I will note below:

Why is it that your eating one ounce (weight) of bread with butter during the protocol (outside the "starch" carbohydrate restriction of the protocol diet) will tip the scales of your weight about 2 pounds higher the next day? "The Promise of hCG" is devoid of light on such essential questions, much less the answers.

The HCG Protocol is a wonderful thing for shedding persistent "obesity" fat (aka: "bad" fat; "unnatural" fat; "abnormal" fat; "non-essential" fat; etc. but incorrectly referred to as "adipose" fat in this book.) Good normal fat will easily burn off with diet and/or exercise. Abnormal obesity-causing fat accumulates, but refuses to burn off. Good muscle and good tissue will waste away before abnormal fat burns off, sapping one's life energy in the process. This is akin to literal starvation.

The beauty of the HCG protocol therapy is that it causes this abnormal fat to burn for daily metabolism, without wasting good fat, muscle, and tissue. The dietary restrictions allow the body to properly regulate Leptin production, allowing the body to burn the fat (while keeping the body just above protein deficiency) satisfying the body's needs, thereby deflecting deep hunger, as well.

My wife is small, only 4'9" so she only lost ten pounds in 21 days of protocol/therapy with HCG homeopathic. There is also: (1)"real" hcg drops, which you can mix fresh, whenever ready, or get ready-to-use in a cold pack (must be refrigerated or used immediately if already mixed.); and (2) injectable hcg (available legally without a prescription) from overseas distributors, basically the same compound as the "real" drops. Books are afraid to tell you this, for liability fears, and fear of the FDA and FTC coming down on the publisher for "misleading" information.

The protocol's 500 calorie diet was developed by Simeons painstakingly over years of . It is not simply a "calorie count" diet, but apparently the menu of foods that make up the diet was determined by the secret biochemical content of foods that worked for "saint" Simeons, through trial and error. Simeons was unaware of Leptin's role, as it had not been discovered yet in 1967.

The "Promise of HCG" is long on popular diet-craze-style sensationalism but falls short on important therapeutic advice. Many of its "phase 3" (Simeons calls this "transition") recipes are, literally, "recipes for disaster" according to the standard Dr. Simeons established.

One should read Dr. Simeons' manuscript (in book form, not the free download unless tiny words and wide columns don't bother you) before reading anything else. This "Promise of hCG" book is downright hazardous as a therapeutic manual. It praises all the benefits of successful HCG therapy, but ignores important details for achieving immediate and/or permanent success with the HCG protocol therapy.

This book recommends sugar, agave, stevia, and xylitol as nutritional staples in "phase 3" (the post HCG therapy diet, the phase when your body should make the paradigm shift to normal hormonal balance - without the presence of HCG.) What right do these authors (with all their fancy crudentials) have to adulterate this successful protocol with nutritional trash of their own opinions?

This book is not a responsible body of work. It does a great job of making you believe the promise of HCG, but almost ensures failure of its execution, due to lack of intelligent information, combined with downright BAD information.

It seems like a wreckless (or "wrecking") and blindly "well-intentioned" (very sloppy) money-driven endeavor for the authors and publishers. It is way overpriced for its lack of professionalism, and distortion of important facts. Some of the food they recommend in Phase 2, made me drop my jaw. My wife and I would joke about it, except that an "abnormal fat" obesity-producing condition is nothing to joke about. It is an insidious slow killer.

You don't need to read the rest of this review if you heed the following advice,
IF YOU WANT TO READ ABOUT THE HCG PROTOCOL, READ Dr SIMEONS' ORIGIGAL MANUSCRIPT first, then read this book, if you like.

The most valuable parts of this book consists of contributions made by an anthology other writers' experiences. There are some historical facts about Dr Simeons that I have not read before, some nice personal stories. I would read those parts again. The book's ink and paper don't have any toxic vapors, which some suspect contributes to hormonal imbalance.) I liked "Even A Little is Too Much" in the first chapter. This part emphasizes that even ten pounds overweight, if it is "obesity" fat (fat that will not come off with bone fide calorie-cutting) is a health hazard. For these reasons, I gave it 2-stars, instead of 1.)

There is vital missing information in "The Promise of hCG." For instance, the fact that women must stop taking HCG immediately, when menstrual periods occur, but must continue with the 500-calorie diet until it is over, if they want to continue the course when the period ends, then continue with the hcg drops. This is not mentioned at all throughout this book, although it is implicitly referred to, in "Frequently Asked Questions," where it states, "For women, the best time to start [the HCG protocol] is on the first day your period finishes."

My wife and I decided to stop that hcg course three day before the period was expected, continuing with diet for three more days to use up the hcg still in her blood, as "saint" Simeons prescribes. She needed a break. We used fertility stick indicators (for people trying to get pregnant) to pinpoint when the period would occur, two weeks after fertility. My advice to women, who can get pregnant but do not want to get pregnant, is to not have sex during the cycles in which you are using HCG in any form time, since HCG is a hormone that can affect normal cycles and fertility.

The original manuscript advice by Dr Simeons, "During mentruation no injections [or hcg drops dosage] are given, but the diet is continued and causes no hardship; yet as soon as the menstruation is over, the patients become extremely hungry unless injections [drops dosage] are resumed at once..."
Simeons continues in another section, "In menstruating women, the best time to start treatment is immediately after a period. Treatment may also be started later, but it is advisable to have at least ten days in hand before the onset of the next period. Similarly, the end of a course of HCG should never be made to coincide with menstruation. If things should happen to work out that way, it is better to give the last injections [drops dosage] three days before the expected date of the menses so that a normal diet can be resumed at onset [of the period.] Alternatively, [for resuming the protocol] at least three injections [drops dosage] should be given after the period, followed by the usual three days of dieting." [dieting without hcg drops/injections, to use up hcg residue in blood before going off 500-cal diet and on to the transition diet.] There is much more vital information like this missing in the book being reviewed here.

This book does not intelligently address the questions of "Why do people develop obesity conditions in the first place?" If one does not blindly attribute everything to "genetics" the most advanced researchers believe an obesity fat condition (where fat easily accumulates, but refuses to burn off) develops from: (1) an excess/imbalance of nutritional carbohydrates, (particularly refined sugars "sweets," added sweeteners, etc.; (2) endocrine imbalances from things like extracted/processed foods, like MSG, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats, etc. (3) Endocrine disruption from airborne chemical fumigant reeking from imported clothes, dry-cleaning, laundry scents, high-tech plastics, etc.

If the obesity condition sufferer does not change this hi-carbo-fast-burning-junk-food diet & lifestyle, the abnormal "obesity fat" (that fat which stores glucose, but will not burn it off when energy is needed) is bound to be regained, after any HCG "miracle" loss of it.

The book repeats, "the hCG protocol is not for everybody." But the authors give not clue as to why this would be true, or what factors determine this "fact." Dr. Simeons would have disagreed. He thought it would work for anyone, except for those with certain underlying medical conditions, which he explicitly states in his book. All of which leads me to believe the authors are simply "covering their backs" with this statement, as a disclaimer for those who would follow their book alone and fail in the long run. My own opinion is that the odds of the protocol failure (and/or obesity relapse) are almost sure, if "the promise of hCG" is used as a sole source of information.

Obesity fat is not normal body fat. Obesity fat goes on, but won't come off. It selects certain parts of the body on which to accumulate more than other parts, whereas normal fat is evenly distributed throughout the body. In the very early stages these selective locations for abnormal fat-storage are obvious, but as body mass accumulates they merge and are harder to decipher.

Overweight people are everywhere, but obesity conditions were historically rare, except in cases where people survived famine and starvation. We spend more money in the USA on diet and weight loss, and still have the worst obesity and diebetes in the world. Go figure.

The recipes suggested in this book include substantial amounts of: sugar (sucrose); agave ("natural" but probably sweeter than sucrose); xylitol, a refined extract (a sugar alcohol, that is neither sugar nor alcohol, and toxic to dogs) etc.;

One example: Boyer and Sellman's recipes, (believe it or not, p.131) for the protocol itself, have a recipe with 2T. of Worcestershire sauce (Ingredients: Distilled White Vinegar, Water, Molasses, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Salt, Soy Sauce (Water, Wheat, Soybeans, Salt, Sodium Benzoate as a Preservative), Natural Flavoring, Caramel Coloring, Anchovies, Polysorbate 80, Soy Flour, Garlic Extract.)

The authors' including these additives in the protocol is unexplainable. So, please note the "professional" writing the 5-star review for this book should be taken with a grain of salt. Anyone can pretend to be a renowned professional expert, doctor, yada, yada, etc. Amazon.com will not check the reviewer's credentials or the facts. One 5-Star reviewer also wrote a chapter in this book (duh?) about "rubbing elbows" with Simeons, and claims to have [personally] "stabilized" 50,000 diabetics. BTW, he is also a radio talk show host, and quick "goggle" shows he also sells diet-related products, and also sells hcg drops.

Sellman/Boyer say about phase 3, "...patients are free to eat anything they please, except sugars and for the next three weeks." When Simeons says "except sugars and starches" he really means except "sugar foods" and "starch foods."

This advice is ignored by Sellman/Boyer. The "Phase 3" recipes in this book cater to the American taste for refined and (even worse) synthetic sugars, which is BAD MEDICINE. That will result in either a relapse of the obesity condition, and/or a worsening of their presently contended obesity condition. These recipes are irresponsible. Besides their potential for therapeutic danger, and introducing hormonal imbalance, they do NOT encourage the reader to condition her/his taste buds away from sugars, sweets, and starches. Artificial sweeteners can be endocrine disruptors and can make you hungry for sugar foods.

Meanwhile, the book doesn't even offer such basic help, such as an updated replacement for Dr Simeons' "breadsticks" and "melba toast" from the 1960's. In other words, "what better nutritional equivalent products do we have today that would be nutritional equivalent for the 500 calorie diet?"

The authors are generous in giving Dr. Simeons' credit for the study of the hypothalamus, but this is old rehash information. The authors completely ignore the 1994 discovery of Leptin (a hormone actually produced by obesity fat cells) and its role in obesity condition development by the body. There's been an explosion of information about the endocrine system and metabolism, since "Inches and Pounds" was written. This new information does not devalue Simeons' work, but helps to further explain it, something he would have appreciated.

For comprehensive help in understanding hormonal balance and personal diet reform, read "Primal Body, Primal Mind" by Nora T. Gedgaudas (I recomment the hardcover. I have chemical sensitivities and the ink from the paperback version gave me a headache.) We also found the "HCG tracker" useful for mapping out some proper foods for the hcg portion of the protocol (some books call it "phase 1", and some books call it "phase 2") although we had to do our own counting for calories of foods, as shown below. My wife only eats chicken and some fish and does not like red meat.
