hCG Diet Phases

Days 1 & 2	Start oral, sublingual hCG drops and begin high fat, high calorie diet. This is an essential step in resetting the body's fat regulating system.
Days 3-21 ( or 42 )	Continue hCG drops that are now triggering the body to release stored fat as "food" for the body and supplement with the low calorie diet. The burned fat is providing a constant flow of fuel so you won't feel hungry as pounds & inches melt away.
Maintenance Phase	Stop hCG diet drops. The body's fat regulation system is now adjusted. Slowly increase caloric intake, while stabilizing your new weight.

Light Exercise

It is recommended that you do only light exercise while doing the hCG Diet. Walking, Yoga ,Pilates, lighter weight lifting (resistance) is great to keep up your strength. Stay away from high calorie burning exercises (ex. Running, aerobics). Over exercising will cause the body to go into starvation mode and hold on to the fat, fighting against the hCG.

Keep Track of Weight

It is important to weigh yourself and keep track of your success. You will want to weigh yourself when you first get up in the morning (the same clothing attire every time) after you have emptied your bladder.
