HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol Second Edition

Love this book! Love this diet!!!....It works! I lost 60 pounds after doing just one round and have kept it off after going back to a full American diet! Looking forward to doing a second round next month to get to my goal weight 20 pounds to go.......

My good friend Krista told me about the HCG 800 Calorie Protocol last October, and I'll be honest and say I was very skeptical. I did my research, read Dr Simeons "Pounds & Inches", decided that was not for me, then read Sonia's 1st edition of her 800 Calorie Protocol. My life began again Aug 1 of this year when I started taking the HCG drops. I had gained a bunch of weight from having a hysterectomy 2 years ago & was completely miserable with myself & didn't care what or how much I ate. I was very bad to myself. This protocol teaches you a new way of life, which in turn, not only helps you lose weight, but it brings you back to who you used to be before you got fat and depressed. It has totally changed my perspective on food choices and portions. I've lost almost 24 lbs so far but have lost a TON of fatty inches off of my 5'1" little frame. I look and feel SO much better already and it's only been 2 months! Anyone that has tried and failed at any & all other diets, fads, exercise gimmicks etc...YOU NEED TO READ SONIA'S BOOKS!! This protocol will change your life and may actually SAVE your life too depending on your health circumstances. Thanks Sonia Russell for all of you hard work & dedication to these clinical trials, research and these amazing books. I will NEVER be able to express how grateful I am to you!! :o)

I started this diet 8 days ago. The book is good and so is the facebook support sight. One thing that would have been helpful in the book, is to have the calories listed for the recipes. However there are many free apps that will track your calories. The recipes are good. I have lost 6 pounds already in the first week already. I am not starving either, the HCG does work. Make sure you get the real product. I am very pleased.

very freindly user book makes life so much easier....and great ideas to go by....thank you

Basically a glorified cookbook for the HCG protocol. That is not necessarily a bad thing if you went shopping for recipe ideas, but if you bought the book looking for detailed diet info like how many IU's of HCG (beyond quoting study stats) or other advanced protocol directives - this book doesn't help much, if at all. This book kind of presumes you know the HCG basics. In fact beginners are better off with the original Simeons protocol which is free online and explained on various quality websites like hcgchica.com. Also, filling the book with studies, history and testimonials is just lame. I don't care. Post that point of interest stuff on your website and save the book for useful info that people are actually paying for! If you are new to the HCG Diet Protocol and want an extensive "how to" book - keep looking, this is not it. This book has value more for experienced HCG dieters looking to enhance or troubleshoot their existing plans.
